Commentary:

* After one week at the top of the chart, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour surrenders it’s position to Diary of a Wimpy Kid 5, which got a publicity boost this week when the title of the November release was announced. Wimpy Kid 5 currently sits at #8 on the overall bestseller chart, while Scott Pilgrim has slid to #24.

* The highest debut this week belongs to The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future, the upcoming graphic novel by the creators of Captain Underpants. Also debuting this week is the latest Negima! volume, and the new colorized scholastic edition of Bone: Tall Tales also finally creeps up onto the list.
