Commentary:

• It was a big week for big events in single issue comics, and DC Rebirth takes home the Amazon sales prize. The Kindle edition of DC Universe: Rebirth debuts in the top spot this week, while associated comics & collections (both digital & print) also show up on the chart: Justice League #50, Superman #52, Flashpoint, and The Flash: Rebirth. Looking ahead, next week's Batman: Rebirth also makes a pre-order debut.
• Earlier in the week, Preacher collections made a strong move up the chart in the wake of the debut of the television series. Had this chart been compiled a few days earlier, you would have seen Preacher in the top spot.
• But the biggest surprise this week is the relatively strong debut of The Omega Men: The Complete Series in pre-order, a comic that has had pretty lousy sales as individual issues.
• A handful of other debuts this week: Captain America: Steve Rogers #1, also generating a lot of online buzz (a good deal of it negative); a Minecraft comic; and the latest issue of Injustice.

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:

• It too a while—three months since the film came out—but a Deadpool collection finally reaches the top spot on the Amazon chart. Oddly it's the Kindle edition (and not even sale-priced), while the print edition doesn't appear on the chart.
• The top debut this week is the first Preacher collection, no doubt in advance of the TV show that debuts in a couple of weeks. Could Preacher be the next Walking Dead?
• Also debuting this week are the latest issue of Injustice, the sale-priced Kindle edition of Captain America: Civil War, and Wolverine: Old Man Logan.

• Also debuting this week are new volumes of One-Punch Man, Descender, and My Hero Academia.
