Commentary:

• Maus stays on top of the chart again this week, with The Complete Maus hardcover staying in the top slot and the first paperback volume remaining in the third slot.
• The top debut this week is the pre-order for the third Lore Olympus volume—it's not due out until October, and in fact the second volume hasn't even been released yet.
• Also debuting this week are several individual Kindle issues for current or future issues of Saga, Nightwing, X-Men, Star Wars: The High Republic, and Power Rangers. While occasional single Kindle issues have appeared on the chart before (Saga and Star Wars spring to mind), this weeks relatively large number is likely due to Amazon switching off the comiXology site this week and moving all digital comics purchasing over to the Amazon site.
• Rounding out this week's debuts are new volumes of manga series My Hero Academia and Dorohedoro, the latter of which makes its series debut on the top fifty chart.
• There are thirty-one manga titles on the chart this week, down four from from last week.
  
• Get vaccinated! And Get Boosted! It's your best way of preventing the next variant surge—Yes, we like variants in our comic covers, but we do not like them in our viruses!
