Commentary:

• For the third week in a row, Batman: Earth One is at the top of the chart, though it slips some to #58 on the overall Amazon chart.
• Bat Watch: Thirteen Batman titles on the chart this week, up three from last week, and four of those are in the top ten. Not quite the dominance that The Walking Dead had earlier in the year, but still pretty impressive.
• Dead Watch: Speaking of WD, there are eleven collections on the chart this week as the post SDCC & issue #100 glow fades a bit. Don't worry, when the show resumes in a few months there will no doubt be another Dead surge.
• The only debut title this week is the new Blacksad graphic novel, and it is way down at the bottom of the list.
