Commentary:

* The upcoming Wimpy Kid volume moves up to #2 on the overall list. With still a few weeks to go until it releases in early November, can it inch its way up to #1 overall?

* The Scott Pilgrim volumes rearrange the deck chairs in slots #2-6, and clock in at #91, 95, 96, 102, & 107. The previous Wimpy Kid volume is at #157 overall.

* Two Joss Whedon-related volumes crack into the top ten this week, the latest Buffy collection and a Serenity OGN.

* The highest debut this week is the two volume slipcased Lynd Ward: Six Novels in Woodcuts. A bit surprising, but it is edited by Art Spiegelman and the Amazon 42% discount offers a quite significant savings.

* Also new this week are the third Bloom County collection; an OGN based on the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 video game; Charles Burns's upcoming X'ed Out; and the second collection of Mark Waid's Incorruptible.

* Anticipation for AMC's Walking Dead television series continues to build, pulling many Walking Dead volumes up on the list.

* The basement (#50) level this week—The Book of Genesis by R. Crumb—is at #2,726 on the overall list.
