• We now move into the holiday shopping season, so expect the tenor of the chart to change a bit over the next few weeks. We also approach the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead this weekend, which traditionally sees an uptick in Walking Dead collections. Zombies vs. Shoppers!

Commentary:

• The new Walking Dead collection is finally released, but it can't quite break the hold that
  Hyperbole and a Half has on the top slot. H&H is #17 on the overall books chart, while WD is #68. The Kindle edition of the new WD also makes this chart this week.
• The top debut this week, Peanuts Guide to Life, isn't quite a comic, but rather a small (in dimensions) book of quotes and illustrations from Peanuts strips. But I'm including it on the chart because it's close enough.
• Also debuting this week are the 2014 edition of the Argyle Sweater desk calendar; the new Yotsuba&! volume; the original Calvin and Hobbes strip collection; The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story; and the latest Attack on Titan.

Commentary:

• With the latest March excitement having settled down, Hyperbole and a Half slides back into the top two places. The paperback is currently #12 on the overall books list.
• The Calvin & Hobbes resurgence continues: Three strip collections make their debut on the Kindle this week and dutifully make their way onto the top sellers chart.
• Last week's Batman Kindle sale is over, and all of those collections that debuted last week are now gone. But the Top Shelf sale sends the Kindle edition of From Hell on to the chart in the #15 place.
• The new Thor movie debuts strong at the box office last weekend, but the best that any Thor comic can do on the chart is the debut of the latest series collection at #42. Still, it's something.
• Also debuting this week are: The Last of Us: American Dreams, the collection of the prequel comic to the video game drawn by Faith Erin Hicks; the new Walking Dead issue in Kindle format; A Rube Goldberg retrospective; and a Dresden Files collection.

Commentary:

• This week's bonus Amazon chart comes to us from Spain! The chart is a mixure of original Spanish comics along with translations from English-, French- and Japanese-language publications.
• No surprise to find the new Asterix at the top of the chart. It is also #3 on the overall libros chart.
• A new Blacksad is due in a couple of weeks, and I would guess that it will displace Asterix when it comes out.
• Popular titles from North America include The Walking Dead, Jamie Hernandez's Locas, Maus, Andi Watson's Breakfast in the Afternoon, a Spider-Man omnibus, and various Star Wars comics, including Jeffrey Brown's Darth Vader & Son.
• Popular manga titles include Oldboy, Tezuka's Buddha, Wild Life, Death Note, Kare Kano, and Monster.

Commentary:

• Well that was a surprise.  Seemingly out of nowhere this morning March Book 1 appears at the top of the chart (and is #15 on the overall book chart). Such a jump generally screams media appearance, so I suspect that John Lewis must have been on some program or another yesterday? UPDATE: Apparently March was featured on a segment of The Rachel Maddow Show last night. So there you go.
• Hyperbole and a Half is right behind March: #2 on the comic chart and #16 on the overall chart.
• The other surprise this week is the sudden popularity of the Calvin & Hobbes collection
  Something Under the Bed Is Drooling. It was up to the #2 spot earlier in the week and is currently still in the top ten. I know that there has been something of a C&H renaissance over the past few months; but why this particular collection, and why this week?
• There is presently a sale on Kindle editions of the first volumes of Batman-related New 52 collections; at just over $3 per several of them show up on the chart this week.
• The only non-Kindle debuts this week are manga, the latest volumes of Naruto & Yu-Gi-Oh!

Commentary:

• After last week's look at the comics chart from Amazon.fr, I've decided to make a more-or-less weekly look at comics charts from around the world (for a while, at least...) This week: Italy!
• Italian cartoonist Zerocalcare rules the top of the chart, holding the top three positions and seven of the top fifteen. His Dodeci is also #2 on the overall libri bestsellers chart.
• As in the U.S. this week, the top French import is Blue is the Warmest Color, trumping the new Asterix volume.
• Manga-wise, One Piece dominates the Italian chart. The only other manga on the chart is a volume of Medaka Box way down at the fiftieth position.
• In the realm of American imports, it is mostly modern classics much as Swamp Thing, Blankets, Bone, Strangers in Paradise, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. A couple of Star Wars volumes make the list (in Kindle editions), and an onmibus of Marvel's Secret Invasion does as well. Joe Kelly's I Kill Giants shows up too, with a variant cover by the aforementioned Zerocalcare.

Commentary:

• Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half rules the chart this week, taking the top three slots with the paperback, Kindle, and hardcover editions. It is currently the #8 book on the overall book chart.
• The new Sandman mini-series, Overture, came out with its first issue this week. As expected the Kindle version charts, and the halo effect also brought other Sandman comics with it, including the bargain-priced first issue of the original series on Kindle, the paperback and Kindle edition of the first collection, and somewhat surprisingly the $90+ first Sandman Omnibus.
• The new Asterix graphic novel may be all the rage in Europe, but after one week on the U.S. chart it disappears. Which means that stateside, Blue Is the Warmest Color is the best-selling Bandes dessinée with both the paperback and Kindle editions making the chart.
• I'm continually amused that in many cases movie trailers seem more likely to drive comic sales than the actual movies themselves. This week a new trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past was released, and the paperback and Kindle editions of the graphic novel hop up onto the chart.
• Most of the debuts this week (excepting Sandman #1) are in the bottom of the chart, including the new Dilbert day-to-day calendar, mangas No Matter How I Look at It and Attack on Titan 8, and James Patterson's latest Maximum Ride.
• Kindle Watch: Ten Kindle editions make the chart this week, up four from last week.
• Dead Watch: Seven Walking Dead collections make the chart this week, down one from last week.
