Commentary: 

• And this week's new #1 is...: A pre-order for a Kindle single issue of Nightwing. It is one of four DC pre-order titles for the week of June 21 in the top ten, which indicates to me that the pre-orders went live shortly before I compiled this week's snapshot. So if I had done the compilation a few hours earlier, they likely wouldn't have even shown up in the chart at all. This kind of volatility makes me wonder if there's any value at all in continuing these weekly snapshots.
• In fact, the comics & graphic novels chart these days bears little resemblance to the chart of just a few months ago, as the addition of the Kindle single issues via the comiXology integration and the re-introduction of the youth graphic novels bringing in a good number of items that would not have been on the chart before. A quick count shows that twenty-four of the items in this week's top fifty—nearly half!—would not have been included on the chart at the beginning of 2022.
• Beyond all the Kindle single issues, a couple of print graphic novel pre-orders also debut on the chart this week:   the first volume of the manhua adaptation of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi; and Sarah Anderson's Cryptid Club.
• And um, COVID is surging again, even if people and institutions seem to be ignoring this fact as if a rapidly-muting coronavirus gives any damns at all if you are through with it or not.  So make sure you are up-to-date on all your vaccines so you can continue to enjoy reading comics for a long time.

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?

Commentary: 

• The first Berserk Deluxe volume hops into the top spot this week, displacing The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. Is this just a one-off quirk, or is The Boy losing some of its muscle?
• The top debut this week is an upcoming volume of the manga series Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter. It's joined later on down the chart by fellow Seven Seas manga Skeleton Knight in Another World.
• Plenty of Kindle single issues on the chart this week, including several pre-orders for various Boom! titles, making me think that subscription pre-orders may be playing a part in chart placement.
• The first volume of Heartstopper debuts on the chart this week for the first time (though the third volume charted a few months ago...), with demand no doubt driven by the Netflix series debuting next week. Similarly, the Anime series of Spy x Family debuts this weekend on Crunchyroll, driving up interes in that manga.  
• Rounding out this week's debuts is the collection of Ram V & Filipe Andrade's The Many Deaths of Laila Starr. 
• This weeks chart has spots for thirty manga titles (same as last week) and ten Kindle single issues (down two from last week).
• Sorry this chart is being posted so late, but rest assured the snapshot is from the morning on the 15th as per the timestamp.

Commentary: 

• The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top this week. A few weeks ago I thought maybe its dominance was over, but it seems to be the default top seller unless something else big enough happens.
• A lot of love for Jujutsu Kaisen this week, no doubt due to the release of the anime feature film.
• The top debut this week is the Kindle edition of X Deaths of Wolverine #5; it is joined by a few other Kindle single issues, with the pre-order for Kaiju No. 8, Vol. 2 being the only non-digital debut.
• Just five Kindle single issues on the char this week, down eight from last week and by far the lowest since the comiXology changeover.
• That leaves room for a whopping thirty-nine manga entries on the chart this week, up ten from last week.
• It's not too late to get vaccinated! And boosted!

Commentary: 

• The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse stays on top this week; has it returned semi-permanently, or is there an Kindle single-issue on the horizon that will temporarily displace it?
• Aside from the usual plethora of Kindle single issues—led this week by an issue of New Mutants—the only other debuts show up near the bottom of the top fifty: the comic-format knitting book Knitstrips, and a volume of manga series Vagabond.
• Thirteen Kindle single issues on the chart this week—down two from last week—and twenty-nine manga volumes, up four from last week.
• It's not too late to get vaccinated! And boosted!

Commentary: 

• And just like that The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse returns to the top of the chart after a few weeks of being a bit further down. Can anything permanently dislodge this title?
• The top debut this week is Girl on Fire, a graphic novel inspired by the Alicia Keys song.
• Still plenty of Kindle single issues on the chart this week, though at fifteen comics it's down from last week's twenty-two. Mostly the usual suspects: a few Marvel books, a couple of DCs, several licensed comics from IDW, and a couple of creator-owned Image comics.
• And with the Kindle drop-off, manga titles make a resurgence taking twenty-five spots in the top fifty, up eight from last week.
• It's not too late to get vaccinated! And if you haven't gotten your booster shot, do it now!
