Commentary:
  • Jeffrey Brown has the top two slots this week with his Star Wars-themed Darth Vader-as-a-parent books. Father's Day is just a couple of weeks away, and I suspect these will be gifts for geek dads all around the country.
  • The sale price on the Kindle edition of Watchmen ended earlier in the week, and now it starts its tumble back down on the comics chart.
  • 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.
  • The only other debut this week is the pre-order for the second volume of Saga, way down in the last slot. The first Saga volume falls a good deal on the chart this week as well (from #12 to #33).
  • Dead Watch: Only four Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, the same as last week. Though both Compendia move back up into the top ten this week .
  • Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up seventeen of the slots on the chart this week, up one from last week.
  • Kindle Watch: Twenty-one of the chart positions this week are taken up by Kindle editions, up three from last week
