  • Only two other new items on the chart this week: the final Complete Peanuts box set, and a new DC Super Hero Girls OGN.
  • Today kicks off the holiday shopping season, so look forward to a shift in the chart over the next few weeks to reflect that (hello more Calvin & Hobbes!)

Commentary:

  • With its National Book Award win, March vaults up to the top of the chart this week, taking the top four slots (and the Kindle edition of Book One coming in at #12).
  • The top debut this week is the sale-priced Kindle edition of Fantastic Four By Jonathan Hickman. Also debuting this week is the Kindle edition of One Punch Man vol. 10 (the print edition of which is not due out until January, so this appears to be an early release).
  • Day-to-Day calendars are in demand again for 2017, with The New Yorker, The Argyle Sweater and Maxine joining Dilbert on the chart this week.
  • Amazon released their Top 20 Graphic Novels list this past week; it appears to maybe have had affected sales on a couple of titles perhaps (Black Panther & Monstress).

The hardcover edition of The Way of the Weird also peeks onto the chart at #49.
  • It's also a big week for The Walking Dead, with eight entries on the chart this week, including six of the top ten.
  • One-Punch Man is the only non-Doctor Strange or Walking Dead book in the top ten.
  • Other debuts this week are a new volume of My Hero Academia, a hardcover Uzumaki omnibus, and Last Laughs, a cartoon collection.
  • A reminder that I'm stripping out all of the Kindle items that fall under the Prime Free Reading program.
