Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid book 6 is still #1 on the overall chart, and thus easily #1 on the comics chart as well. The Walking Dead Compendium slides up into the #2 slot, but #3-6 are also taken up by Wimpy Kid books. Looks like a Wimpy Kid Christmas is upon us...

* Batman: The Black Mirror is the top debut in the middle of the chart; the only other debuts are new Green Lantern & The Boys volumes, way down at the bottom.

* Dead Watch: Ten Walking Dead collections on the charts this week.

* Despite all of the hubbub, none of the DC exclusive Kindle editions make the top 50 chart (they are being counted as graphic novels; Watchmen, Sandman vol. 1 and Superman Earth One show up waaay down near the bottom of the top 100). Maye that will change after people get Kindle Fires for holiday presents, but for now Amazon is selling more physical DC comics than virtual ones.
