Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid stays on the top once again, and rises a bit to #64 on the overall chart.

* For the second week in a row, DC debuts a book in the top ten. This week it is Daytripper at #7. I figure there must have been some mainstream media attention for the book?

* DC also debut new Flash and Fables volumes in pre-order near the bottom of the list. The other debut this week is a pre-order for Nemesis, which is also Marvel's only entry this week in the top 50.

* Last week's big debut, Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, rises up to #2 on the comics chart and #181 overall.

* At this point, sales of the Scott Pilgrim box set have pretty much supplanted sales of the individual volumes. The Precious Little Box Set remains at #5, while only two of the individual volumes even chart this week.

* Dead Watch: Ten Walking Dead collections chart this week, including the compendium which moves back up into the top 10.

* The bottom of the list is #2,400 overall this week.
