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:
  • Another new #1, as Jeffrey Brown's Vader's Little Princess is released and hits #57 on the overall chart. Last week's #1, the bargain-fueled Kindle edition of Wolverine, falls off the chart entirely.
  • Injustice Watch: The latest digital issue debuts at #2 on the chart, but predictably the rest of the issues fall precipitously now that the game's release is a week and a half past. There are eleven on the chart this week, down four from last week.
  • A few head-scratchers on the chart this week: Both the The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation and NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind Box Set return to the chart, and Gaiman & McKean's ten-year-old The Wolves in the Walls makes it first appearance. I can maybe see that last week's events in Boston fueled interest in The 9/11 Report, but I can see no reason for the other two (though they are both quality comics).
  • Dead Watch: There are seven Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, the same as last week.
  • Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up eleven of the slots on the chart this week, down two from last week.
  • Kindle Watch: Twenty-one of the chart positions this week are taken up by Kindle editions, down seven from last week.
