N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeksCommentary:
* Two comics leap way up into the top ten this week: Warriors: Ravenpaw’s Path #1: Shattered Peace, because it’s part of the secret comic book economy; and Tumor Chapter 1 on the Kindle, I think maybe because the Tumor graphic novel is now available for pre-order and people may have been trying out the free sampler.
* Several debuts this week, led by Green Lantern: Agent Orange at #22. The GL books always seem to make a splash, but don’t stick around as long as their Batman counterparts.
* I have no idea of the reason for the sudden surge of interest in Calvin & Hobbes. You know, other than it’s an awesome comic strip; but why now?
