Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary: 

• Topping the list for the second week in a row is Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother? It slips to #89 on the overall chart.
• I'm assuming that the sudden appearance near the top of the list of the Infinity Gauntlet collection is somehow related to The Avengers movie. Which is probably a spoiler for the five other people besides me who haven't yet seen it (sorry...)
• The only other debut this week is the latest volume of Naruto, way down at #48.
• Both the Justice League and Batman New 52 hardcover collections leap up into the top ten this week. The Animal Man collection also makes a sizable leap as well. So a good showing so far for DC's new direction.
• Dead Watch: Just fourteen Walking Dead collections on the chart this week (down from sixteen last week). 
• Bat Watch: There are five Batman collections on the chart this week, which I suspect will grow as we get closer to the new movie's late July release...
