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 ninth straight week.
  • The top debut this week is Liz Climo's You're Mom, no doubt fueled by Mother's Day purchases.
  • Also debuting this week are a new Attack on Titan volume; the pre-order for the first volume of Dark Horse's The Neil Gaiman Library; the second issue of the digital-first Batman: The Adventures Continue; and a massive One Piece Box box set.
  • Like last week, the chart is actually dominated by Kindle Unlimited, Prime Reading, and other types of digital comics that we strip out of the list. I imagine this will be the case for the duration.
  • Pretty much every physical book from Amazon is now three weeks shipping instead of two days, as Amazon prioritizes essential items moving through their warehouses. It is unknown how many people just don't place orders for books that won't arrive for a while.
  • Sorry, this list isn't going up until Monday afternoon, because I forgot to publish it on Friday...
  • Wash your hands.
