Commentary:

* The top debut this week is Chester Brown's Paying for It. Last week's top-ten debut, the newest Lunch Lady, slips off the chart completely. The only other debut this week is the latest Negima! volume, waaay down at #50.

* The massive Simonson Thor hardcover continues to do well; this is the rare instance when a Marvel super-hero movie has such demonstrable coattails for a particular collected edition; all the more impressive when you realize that it's a very expensive edition.
