Commentary:  

• It's a big week for Ultimate Spider-Man—on the week of its release, the first issue on Kindle jumps way up to the top spot, and pre-orders for the second and third issues debut in the top ten. To top things off, the pre-order for the eventual collected edition is this week's top print debut.
• Also debuting this week is the pre-order for a forthcoming volume of Solo Leveling, and several previous volumes return to the top fifty this week. Rounding out this week's print debuts is the latest volume of Komi Can't Communicate.
• Kind of a muted University Effect so far this year: Persepolis moves up the chart, Understanding Comics returns this week, as do a couple of versions of Maus.
