Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.
Items with dollar signs ($) were part of a deeply discounted Kindle sale this week
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 Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top for the seventh straight week, and the next three items are on the same place on the chart as last week as well.
  • The biggest change to the comics charts this week is not actually reflected here: There were a ton of Kindle Unlimited and Prime Reading titles on the chart this week, to the point where after I removed them (as is the policy for compiling these charts) I barely had enough items to fill all fifty slots! Obviously this has to do with people reading digital comics while self-isolating. Additionally, Amazon is severely delaying shipments of physical books so they can use their capacity to ship more essential supplies, which would also be suppressing physical comics orders.
  • The top debut this week is Pearls Goes Hollywood, the new Pearls Before Swine collection. Joining it are an oldish Garfield compilation, and the first two volumes of the manga series Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (?! — must be an anime adaptation or something?)
  • Hope you all are staying safe and washing your hands. And hopefully reading some comics!
