    Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.

    N = New listing appearing on list for first time
    R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks

    Commentary:

    * As we move into the holiday season, expect to see this list take a slightly different form than the rest of the year. In particular, big-ticket deep-discounted items will feature heavily, especially those of strip collections.

    * Highest debut belongs to Tony Daniel’s Batman: Battle for the Cowl; unsurprising, as most new Batman collections make an appearance on the list.

    * Marvel does especially well this week, mostly due to the strong showing of their Dark Tower collections.
