Commentary:

* Wimpy Kid 5 remains at the top, though slipping to #153 on the overall chart.

* The top debut this week belongs to Lunch Lady and the Summer Camp Shakedown, cracking the top ten. If you're not familiar with Lunch Lady, you probably don't have kids

* The big Thor by Walt Simonson Omnibus continues to do well in advance of the movie's release, bucking the trend as movies based on super-heroes don't usually give a push to one particular collection.

* A pre-order for an oversized Priest collection gives TokyoPop a rare hit in advance of the movie. If they ever actually ship it in June...

* Fables vol. 14 squeaks back onto the list at #50, and at #3,300 overall hints to this being a fairly weak week for comic sales on Amazon.
