Commentary:

• We get a new number one this week as Saga Volume 8 finally moves into the top position.
• The University Effect is in full swing this week, with Maus, Fun Home, Persepolis, Understanding Comics, and American Born Chinese all in the top ten.
• The top debut this week is The End of the Fucking World, the graphic novel on which the hit Netflix series is based.
• The Kindle edition of Darth Vader #10 dhows up in the top ten this week, most likely due to an Internet rumor that it explained where Rey's Force abilities come from.
• All the other debuts this wee are for pre-orders: a new Hilo volume, a new One-Punch Man volume, the manga RWBY, a hardcover collection of Tom King's The Vision, an omnibus of Terminal Lance, and a new collection of The Wicked + The Divine.
