Commentary:

• The third Walking Dead Compendium stays at the top of the chart this week. In fact, the top six are all the same as last week, just in a slightly different order.
• A Punisher MAX collection and Daredevil: The Man Without Fear both debut this week, likely an effect of the new season of Daredevil on Netflix.
• Batman books see a rise this week, in advance of today's Batman v Superman movie debut. Superman books? Not so much...

Commentary:

• A new number one this week! Adulthood is a Myth, a collection of Sarah Anderson's Webcomic Sarah's Scribbles, is released and jumps over the Walking Dead Compendia. The Kindle edition also shows up on the chart. Is this the next Hyperbole and a Half?
• Two more Webcomic collections debut in the top 50 this week: Fowl Language and Terminal Lance.
• Also debuting is Sonny Liew's The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye (which I believe was featured on NPR sometime this past week); Daniel Clowes' Patience; and collections of Marvel's Secret Wars and DC's Darkseid War.
• There was a new Captain America: Civil War trailer this week, and the Civil War collection dutifully jumps into the top five.

Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

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:

• The three Walking Dead Compendia take the top three slots on the chart this week. Five other Walking Dead books also make the chart this week.
• One of those is the Kindle edition of The Walking Dead #152, a rare occurence of a digital edition of a single print issue appearing in the top fifty.
• Also debuting this week are a new digital-first issue of Injustice, a collection of Snoopy-related Peanuts strips, and the low-priced Batman vs. Superman: The Greatest Battles.
• Many of the Saga collections take an oddly large dip on the chart this week. Likely just temporary, but still strange.
• Is there a manga resurgence going on? Not long ago it was a rare occurrence to see more than one or two manga volumes in the top fifty; this week there are six.
