Commentary: 

• As I predicted last week, we have a new number one on this week's chart: Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother?, which is currently #50 on the overall Amazon chart. The well-reviewed graphic memoir also lifts the sales of Bechdel's previous work, Fun Home, into the top ten; and the Kindle edition of Fun Home enters the chart as well.
• Dead Watch: The previous chart-topper, the Walking Dead Compendium, has slipped down to #165 on the overall chart. There are still sixteen WD collections in the top fifty, the same as last week.
• The top debut this week is the hardcover collection of the new Justice League; it joins Batman (which debuted on the chart last week) and Animal Man as the DC New 52 collections on the chart.
• Also debuting this week is the latest Sailor Moon volume (as the only manga on the chart this week).
• Rounding out this week's debuts is Batman: Knightfall, which may be a signal of the start of interest in Batman material in advance of the upcoming Dark Knight Rises movie. (Knightfall features Bane, the antagonist in Christopher Nolan's film.)
