Commentary: 

• The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top for the fourteenth straight week.
• There was a huge surge of Avatar: The Last Airbender titles onto the chart this week, both Kindle and print editions. Presumably this is because the animated series came to Netflix this past week (where it is currently the #1 streaming title for North America). 
• The only debut this week is an issue of the digital-first series Batman: The Adventures Continue.
• While there were still a good chunk of Kindle Unlimited, Prime Reading, and other types of digital comics that we strip out of the list on the chart this week, there were a good deal fewer than in previous recent weeks. Partly this is due to the aforementioned Avatar surge displacing a bunch of other titles from the top fifty, but I suspect it's also due to the fact that Amazon's print book distribution is no longer delaying shipping for three weeks out like in recent past weeks.
• Wash you hands. And practice sensible social distancing. Read comics.
