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:  

• Dog Man: Big Jim Begins stays on top again this week; I suspect it will stay there for quite a while. In fact, the top five this week are the same as last week.
• This week's top new entry is the Kindle edition of Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1.
• All three Wings of Fire adaptations make their first appearance on the char tthis week. There was either a big surge of interest for the YA graphic novels from several years ago, or Amazon decided to re-classify them to the main comics chart this week. While the former is certainly a possibility, I suspect that the latter is what actually occurred—demand have been there all along, just hidden away in a kids chart somewhere. 
• Two more calendars debut this week:  Work Chronicles and Argyle Sweater.
