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 March Trilogy Slipcase stays on top this week, still feeling the afterglow of its Twitter endorsement the previous week.
• The top debut this week is Big Mushy Happy Lump, the pre-order for the new Sarah's Scribbles collection by Sarah Anderson (it's due out in early March)
• The Kindle edition of Marvel's old House of M event pops up on the chart due to its being one of the Kindle Daily Deals earlier in the week.
• Interestingly the eleventh volume of One-Punch Man is available now on the Kindle, even though the print edition isn't due out until early March. Thus it appears impatient readers are flocking to the digital version for their fix.
• Things are going pretty well so far for the collected editions of DC's Rebirth comics. Not all of the collections have charted, but this week there are now four in the top fifty: Flash, Batman, Superman, and Justice League.
• Also debuting this week are the second collection of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther, and the pre-order for a new volume of Berserk (not due out until July!)

R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

Commentary:

• You may recall a little dust-up last weekend between March co-author John Lewis and a certain ex-reality show star? It resulted in March rocketing to the top of the charts, with the box set at one point being the #1 overall book on all of Amazon. It's currently #40 overall, and might even be higher if Amazon wasn't out-of-stock. 
• Between the box set and the individual volumes March now takes four of the top five slots on the chart this week, its dominance only broken up by a sale on the Kindle Edition of Marvel's Secret Wars collection.
• Only two other new titles aside from Secret Wars: The first Rebirth Batman collection, and the fifth volume of Sunstone.

Commentary:

• The Dilbert desk calendar remains at the top this week, with the Love is Love anthology coming in second.
• We've moved out of holiday shopping mode and into university required reading mode, with books like Persepolis, Fun Home, Maus, Understanding Comics, and American Born Chinese moving back onto the chart.
• The top new item this week is the Kindle edition of The Walking Dead #162. Other new items this week include pre-orders for new volumes of Saga & The Walking Dead, as well as the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's Kindred; a new volume of the Tokyo Ghoul manga, and the collection of the Star Wars: Han Solo miniseries.
• A change for the new year in how this chart is compiled: as with the Kindle Prime Reading comics, I will no longer track on this chart compilation those comics that are available on Kindle Unlimited.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from Huey, Dewey, Louie, Donald, and all of us here at Yet Another Comics Blog!
