Commentary:

• After several weeks of bopping around in the top ten, Jeffrey Brown's Darth Vader and Son finally lands in the #1 slot.
• The top debut this week is the latest volume of Garth Ennis's The Boys. Also debuting are the fifth Dork Diaries, Jonathan Fetter-Vorm's Trinity, the latest volume of Adam Warren's Empowered, and the final volume of Ouran High School Host Club.
• Dead Watch: Just nine Walking Dead collections on the chart this week. But the latest trade collection comes out in a couple of weeks and is already in the #2 position.
• Bat Watch: Seven Batman titles on the chart again this week, with DC's well-timed re-release of the Knightfall collections capitalizing on the upcoming Dark Knight Rises film.
