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:

• Topping the chart this week is the Kindle edition of the sixth Dork Diaries installment. It had previously bounced around the chart at the beginning of the year when it was a pre-order.
• The top new item is the twenty-fourth issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us in the #2 position. The only other debuts are down near the bottom of the chart: the second volume of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin and the first collection of the Marvel NOW Deadpool.
• Saga collections continue to do very well. The pre-order for the second volume is at #3, and the first volume moves up into the top ten.
• Injustice Watch: While the newest issue has a very high debut, only three issues make the chart this week, down two from last week.
• Dead Watch: Four Walking Dead collections are on the chart this week, down one from last week. The new collection just doesn't seem to have the ummph to move up into the top slot.
• Diary Watch: The Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries franchises between them take up twenty-one of the slots on the chart this week, up five from last week. They are buoyed by the reappearance on the chart of several early volumes of Wimpy Kid hardcovers.
• Kindle Watch: Eighteen of the chart positions this week are taken up by Kindle editions, the same as last week.
