Commentary:

• A little indy movie called Infinity War had a modest opening last weekend, and it's actually driving comic sales! Four of the top five, and several others further down the chart. In fact, outside of the 99¢ Kindle sales earlier this year, this week is probably the best ever performance for Marvel on the Amazon comics chart, with sixteen entires in the top fifty (seventeen if you count the DK-published Marvel Encyclopedia).
• New this week (non-Infinity War-related) are the Life Is Strange Collection (not due out until December...), new Batman and One Piece volumes, and a couple of Kindle single issues: The Walking Dead and Avengers.
