Commentary:

* Last week's Walking Dead domination has subsided a bit, though the Compendium still sits at #1 on the comics chart (#21 on the overall chart). But nipping at its heels is the as-yet-untitled seventh book in the Wimpy Kid series, which was announced but four days ago as being released in November but is already #2 on the comics chart and #32 overall.

* This week's Supreme Court arguments about the Health Care Reform Act see its graphic novel explanatory return to the chart all the way up in the #4 position (#94 overall).

* Dead Watch: Despite the softening of sales compared to last week's Dead-a-palooza, WD collections still take twenty-six of the slots on the top fifty.
