Commentary:
  • The Watchmen Kindle sale continues this week, but it's no match for adorable tales of a Sith Lord and his Princess daughter. Vader's Little Princess returns to the top slot and is #26 on the overall Amazon books chart.
  • The biggest surprise this week is the appearance of the first two Lunch Lady graphic novels on the chart, seemingly out of nowhere. A little checking shows that creator Jarrett Krosoczka was profiled on NPR yesterday, which would explain the sudden rise.
  • Injustice Watch: No surprise that the latest digital issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us is the top debut of the week. Seven issues make the chart this week, the same as last week.
  • Other debuts this week are the lastest volume of Sailor Moon; a hardcover collection of Dark Horse's Mass Effect tie-in comics; and the color edition of the third Scott Pilgrim graphic novel.
  • Dead Watch: Only four Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, the same as last week. And both Compendia are now out of the top ten.
  • Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up sixteen of the slots on the chart this week, down one from last week.
  • Kindle Watch: Eighteen of the chart positions this week are taken up by Kindle editions, down two from last week
