Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid book 5 retains the top spot, followed by five Scott Pilgrim volumes. SP vol. 4 returns to the graphic novel category, while vol. 5 remains mysteriously absent.

* On the overall list, Wimpy Kid moves up to #10, while the Scott Pilgrim volumes slip to #75, #83, #89, #100 & #107. Persepolis is at #352, while the last book in the top 50 is at #4,457 on the overall list. (This is again a rise from last week's #5,185.)

* Only two new books this week: the latest volume of Empowered and a Serenity OGN, both in pre-order.
