Commentary:
  • Mignola & Fegredo's Hellboy: The Midnight Circus was yesterday's Kindle Deal of the Day, and it dutifully hopped up to the top of the comics chart as readers jumped on the chance to but a bargain-priced Hellboy OGN.
  • The top (non-deal-of-the-day) debut this week is the first hardcover Miracleman collection. While there were some who said that people wouldn't buy a pricy hardcover of an obscure character from the 80s, they didn't count on the pull of Alan Moore to Amazon buyers, nor the big 50% discount that Amazon is offering.
  • Otherwise it is pretty much business as usual on the chart this week: Jeffrey Brown's Star Wars, Attack on Titan, The Walking Dead, Saga, Batman, Calvin & Hobbes, etc.
