Commentary:

* The highest debut this week belongs to the collected edition of the Mass Effect comic, based on the video game. If you're wondering why comic companies keep putting out the poorly-selling licenses based on video games, this is a good reminder that the collected editions usually sell quite well outside the typical comic market.

* Also debuting this week is the first volume of The Popularity Papers, described as 'Wimpy Kid for girls.' The other 'Wimpy Kid for girls,' Dork Diaries, moves up an impressive thirty-four places to almost crack the top ten.

* The real Wimpy Kid volumes move back ahead of Scott Pilgrim this week, but the number one slot belongs to Janet Evanovich's Troublemaker.
