* Marvel also have the other debuts this week: Fantastic Four by John Byrne Omnibus up at #14; and Ultimate Comics: Doomsday sneaking in at #49.

* Thor by Walter Simonson Omnibus slips a good bit to #20 this week; but still, it's several week run in the top 10 is quite impressive for at $100+ book.
