Commentary:

• The recent resurgence of  Hyperbole and a Half continues, and this week the rest of the field cools off enough to allow it to hop into the #1 slot.
• Fun Home also sees a surge, as the Broadway musical and its twelve Tony nominations head into this evening's Tony Awards broadcast.
• The top debut this week is the requisite Kindle issue of Injustice. Other Kindle debuts are a new Minecraft comic and the Young Gotham Sampler (which includes the first issues of Grayson, Gotham Academy & new Batgirl). On the print side, two manga debut: the latest Naruto volume, and the first volume of Tokyo Ghoul.
