Commentary:
* The top debut this week is Chester Brown's

Lunch Lady, slips off the chart completely. The only other debut this week is the latest
Negima! volume, waaay down at #50.
* The massive Simonson
Thor hardcover continues to do well; this is the rare instance when a Marvel super-hero movie has such demonstrable coattails for a particular collected edition; all the more impressive when you realize that it's a very expensive edition.
