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:
  • Moving into the top spot this week is LEWSER!, the latest Doonesbury collection.
  • The passing of Representative and civil rights activist John Lewis sees his graphic novel trilogy March move into the top ten, all three volumes plus the slipcase collection. A sad occasion, but good that people are seeking to learn more about his legacy.
  • The top debut this week is The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords -Legendary Edition-; it actually came out three years ago but is just now hitting the best-seller chart, so ???
  • Also debuting this week are The Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond (a hybrid prose/comics book for kids); a new volume of Beastars; Adrian Tomine's new comics memoir The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist; and for some reason the Kindle edition of DC Comics/Dark Horse: Batman vs. Predator (Maybe because Dark Horse is losing the Predator license to Marvel at the end of the year, and after that there's very little chance these crossovers will be available...)
  • Wash you hands. Wear a face mask when in public, enclosed spaces. Practice sensible social distancing. Read comics.

  • The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of the first collection of The Old Guard, the comic that is the basis of the new hit Netflix movie. In fact, every single possible Old Guard comic—both collections and Kindle editions of the individual comics—debuts on the chart this week! (The only item missing is the very first digital issue, which is currently free and thus not eligible for this chart.)
  • The only other debut item this week is a Deluxe edition of the Hellsing manga.

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 nineteenth straight week.
  • The top debut this week is Negan Lives #1, a special Walking Dead print comic that was only available to comic shops, meaning its appearance there is solely based on third-party sellers. 
  • Other debuts this week are led by LEWSER!, an upcoming Doonesbury collection. Also debuting are Batman: The Adventures Continue #7 on the Kindle, and pre-orders for a new One-Punch Man volume and Sarah Andersen's upcoming OGN Fangs.
  • So sorry that this isn't going up until July 10—apparently I forgot to hit Publish in Blogger and didn't notice until I went to do this week's Anazon chart! 
  • Wash you hands. Wear a face mask when in public, enclosed spaces. Practice sensible social distancing. Read comics.
