Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* As we move into the holiday season, expect to see this list take a slightly different form than the rest of the year. In particular, big-ticket deep-discounted items will feature heavily, especially those of strip collections.

* Highest debut belongs to Tony Daniel's Batman: Battle for the Cowl; unsurprising, as most new Batman collections make an appearance on the list.

* Marvel does especially well this week, mostly due to the strong showing of their Dark Tower collections.
