Commentary:
  • Over the past week at least five different titles were in the top position at one point. But at the time that this snapshot was taken, it is Matthew Inman's Why Grizzly Bars... that is sitting in the #1 position. 
  • Dead Watch: Four Walking Dead collections in the top 10, and fourteen titles overall on the top fifty chart, including a rare appearance of one of the single issues in Kindle form (#115, which apparently is the 10th anniversary issue). We must be close to the debut of the new television season!
  • The top debut this week is the sale-priced Kindle edition of Stephen King's N. Also debuting this week are the 3rd collection of All-New X-Men, the latest Peanuts box set, a hardcover collection of the "Death of the Family" Batman crossover, and the latest Buffy Season 9 collection.
  • Kindle Watch: There are nine Kindle editions on the chart this week, down three from last week.
