Commentary:

  • Big Nate: From the Top is on the top of the chart for the second week in a row. 
  • Gene Luen Yang won a MacArthur Fellows grant (aka the Genius Grant) this week, and among the other perks that gives his comics exposure to a whole new audience. His American Born Chinese jumps back up into the top five this week.
  • The only new comics on the chart this week are all single issue kindle editions: Injustice, The Dresden Files, and Batman.
  • Where's Raina Telgemeier's Ghosts? You'll find it atop the Amazon Children's Comics & Graphic Novels chart, where Amazon (somewhat arbitrarily) places many, though not all, comics targeted at the kids & YA markets.
