Commentary:
* Scott Pilgrim may have flopped at the box office, but his comics defy the expected wisdom and continue to sell well, even better than before the movie was released. Book 1 retakes the top spot on the chart and currently sits at #11 on the overall. The other volumes sit at #15, 16 & 19. Lost at Sea also returns to the chart at #17. Wimpy Kid #5 slides to #5 on the chart (#28 overall). (The next on the comics chart, Persepolis, is #355 overall, which gives you an idea of just how much Scott Pilgrim & Wimpy Kid are ruling over all others right now).
* Blackest Night seems to be losing its luster, with only two of its hardcover volumes charting this week. Interest in Walking Dead remains strong.
* The only debut this week is Mark Criley's Brody's Ghost at #40.
