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.
It's day fourteen of the Sixth Annual YACB Free Comic Book Month!
