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:
  • Saga stays on top for the second straight week. In fact, things stay mostly sedate and ordinary near the top of the chart, with a few things moving around but mostly sensible. 
  • Mainstream darling My Favorite Thing is Monsters stays in the top five despite the fact that Amazon is apparently sold out and the cheapest 3rd party option as of this writing is a whopping $295! Don't buy at that price—they will print more!
  • Also apparently OOP is the paperback edition of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, which means that the hardcover edition returns to the chart after quite a time away. (Again people—they will print more!)
  • The top new items this week is the physical edition of X-Men Gold #1, which 3rd party sellers are selling for $29.95 and up on Amazon. Because people are awful.
  • Otherwise the top new book this week is the second volume of the Rebirth Superman. Also new this week are the sixth Plants vs. Zombies collection, the Kindle edition of the first issue of  American Gods: Shadows, and the sixth Lumberjanes collection.
  • Speaking of Plants vs. Zombies, there seems to be a sudden interest in those comics for some reason?
