Commentary: 

• And just like that... Amazon reverses a change they made several years back and now are once again putting comics from their Children's Comics & Graphic Novels chart on their regular Comics & Graphic Novels chart as well. Which means a slew of titles aimed at the younger set make their debut on the weekly snapshot. A slew that consists of Cat Kid Comic Club and Dog Man graphic novels from Dav Pilky, and Guts & Smile by Raina Telgemeier.
• But despite all the new additions The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top again this week.
• Heartstopper shows a resurgence this week, with volume four making its debut and the previous three volumes also all in the top ten.
• A bunch of Kindle single issues debut this week, led by Immortal X-Men #2, with a bargain-priced Kindle edition of 1984: The Graphic Novel rounding out this week's new titles.
• COVID is surging again, but you are vaxed and boosted and wear a mask when in indoor public spaces, right? Right? ... Right?
