Commentary: 

• And once again The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse returns to the top of the chart.
• The top debut this week is the pre-order for the Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Color Hardcover Box Set, which isn't due out until July 2024.
• Only two other debuts this week: Watership Down: The Graphic Novel, and the first volume of manga series Bocchi the Rock!
• Not only have the Kindle single issues disappeared complete from the Amazon comics chart, so have all Kindle editions. Clearly Amazon changed their algorithms around a couple of weeks ago, but how permanent is this change?

Commentary: 

• For some reason the Marvel Encyclopedia moves into the top spot this week. The DC Comics Encyclopedia also makes a big leap up. I guess people are into comics reference works this week?
• If you're wondering why Bill Watterson & John Kascht's The Mysteries isn't on the chart, that's because it's a picture book, not a comic. You might rightly point out that the Marvel Encyclopedia isn't a comic either, but historically we've always included the comic character encyclopedias on the chart for reasons that are lost to the mists of time.
• This week's top debut is the pre-order for a new The Adventure Zone OGN (not due out until July 2024!) Other debuts this week are a new volume of Kaiju No. 8 and an old The Last Kids on Earth OGN.
• For the first time in quite a while, there are no Kindle single issues in the top fifty this week. They're not completely gone from the chart, as there's an issue of X-Men Red down in the back half of the top 100, but it may cause one to wonder if amazon has changed how they are calculating the placement of Kindle editions on the chart?
• It's time to get your new COVID shot: stop off on the way home from the comic shop and get yours today!

Commentary: 

• A new volume of Chainsaw Man is released and moves into the top spot on this week's chart.
• The only print debut this week is a new volume of Hunter x Hunter. A new issue of X-Men leads a small crop of Kindle single issues.
• News about someone using AI to make bad Calvin & Hobbes strips leads to new interest in the real deal and both the hardcover and paperback editions of The Complete Calvin and Hobbes return to the chart. (Or it could be interest from Watterson's upcoming picture book?)
  
• Twenty-two of the top fifty this week are manga, with Berserk making up twelve of those.
• The Covid variant shots are out—get yours today!
