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:

* The big winner this week is Stephen King, with The Talisman debuting up at #1, and a new Dark Tower debuting further down the list

* Daniel Clowes' Wilson continues to be strong, climbing all the way up to #3.

* Also big this week is the Walking Dead; the 5th hardcover collection vaults way up to #4, and volume 12 in the softcover series debuts stealthily at #42.

* The Invincible Iron Man Omnibus I expect would be selling better if not for the fact that it's on long back order ("Usually ships in 2 to 4 weeks" in Amazon parlance).

* Another dark horse to look for: Odd Is on Our Side is new graphic novel set in Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas series, written by Fred Van Lente and drawn by Queenie Chan.
