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:

• Abbi Jacobson's Carry This Book, which mysteriously disappeared from the chart last week, is back again, and this time in the top position.
• The Walking Dead returned to television this past weekend, and the collections moved up the chart. Four WD collections are in the top ten, with four more appearing further down in the top fifty.
• The top debut this week is the first Mockingbird collection, with the Kindle edition and the second collection (not due out until April 2017) also making an appearance. 
• The Monster Girl Encyclopedia and a new edition of the DC Comics Encyclopedia debut this week. Technically they aren't comics, but some time back I made the decision to not weed these comic-based encyclopedias from the list, so I'm sticking to it.
• Other debuts this week include the Kindle edition of the first Runaways collection, Si Lewen's Parade, and a new volume of One-Punch Man.
• A reminder that I'm stripping out all of the Kindle items that fall under the Prime Free Reading program.

Commentary:

• The news that the upcoming Wolverine movie will be based on Old Man Logan pushes related collections onto the list, with the original Millar/McNiven story taking the #1 & #3 slots, and the more recent collections debuting later on down the list.
• The new season of The Walking Dead is set to debut this weekend, and we see upward movement for many of the collections, including the debut of the 27th collection as a pre-order (it isn't released until March...)
• The Kindle edition of Thor Vol. 1: The Goddess of Thunder was on sale yesterday, so it remains in the #2 slot this morning.
• Other debuts this week include Superman: American Alien, the Dilbert 2017 Day-to-Day Calendar, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe, and the new Hellboy in Hell collection.
• A reminder that I'm stripping out all of the Kindle items that fall under the Prime Free Reading program.

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:

• Sorry that this is going up much later than usual; the snapshot was taken Friday morning, but I didn't get a chance to finish the post until this evening.
• The new #1 this week is the Kindle edition of Star Wars: Vader Down. Maybe there was a sale earlier in the week? But then there's also a lot of print editions of Darth Vader collections also returning to the chart this week. Maybe Darth Vader is suddenly in vogue again?
• Debuting in the #2 slot is the pre-order for Carry This Book by Abbi Jacobson. It's borderline being an actual comic, but I decided to keep it on the chart as it's close enough.
• Also debuting this week down near the bottom of the chart are the Kindle edition of the first Bloodshot collection (there was movie news this week, I believe?), and the newest volume of Tokyo Ghoul.
• A reminder that, as we did when it started up last week, I'm stripping out all of the Kindle items that fall under the Prime Free Reading program.

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:

• This week's top seller is the kindle edition of Wolverine: Enemy of the State. It was on sale yesterday, and combined with news about the final Wolverine movie (Logan) also hitting, it was a top-selling proposition.
• The book that was at the top of the chart for the past four weeks, Big Nate: From the Top, is now nowhere to be seen. It appears that Amazon once again reclassed it out of the regular Comics & Graphic Novels category and back into the kids section. So it goes.
• If you go over to the regular Comics & Graphic Novels chart on the Amazon site, you'll see a lot of Kindle editions at or near the top of the list that aren't on this summation. That's because earlier this week Amazon debuted its Prime Reading service, where Amazon Prime customers can download and read for free many books, magazines & comics. It appears that Amazon is counting those free downloads as sales for the purposes of their bestsellers charts, but since it has long been the practice here to not include items that are free I'm excluding the Prime Reading titles as well.
• Casting news about an upcoming movie adaptation of My Friend Dahmer causes the graphic novel to return to the chart, in both print and Kindle editions.
• New titles to the chart this week include the Kindle edition of the new issue of The Walking Dead, the latest The Wicked + The Divine collection, the sale-priced Kindle edition of Iron Fist Epic Collection, the latest collection of Low, combined hardcover editions of Avatar: The Last Airbender—Smoke and Shadow and Uzumaki, the second volume of Yona of the Dawn, and Heart and Brain: Gut Instincts: An Awkward Yeti Collection.
