Commentary:

* A big surprise near the top of the list this week, as the Kindle edition of Nick Galifianakis's collection of single-panel cartoons debuts at #2. Price likely had something to do with it: the print edition sells for $11, while the Kindle version is offered at just $2. That's still not enough to topple Cabin Fever though, which is at #71 on the overall Amazon book chart.

* Price likely had much to do with the top ten return of Mickey Mouse, which for a few hours earlier this week was selling at just $5.

* Another surprisingly high debut this week is the new Uncanny X-Force hardcover at #11. And it was strong enough to bring up the previous collection into the bottom of the chart as well.

* Other debuts this week are Derf's My Friend Dahmer; and the JLA collection on which the latest DC Animated movie is based.

* Dead Watch: Nineteen slots in the top fifty are taken up by The Walking Dead. That's a lot…
