Elsewhere: March 2014 BookScan chart

ICV2 has the BookScan Top 20 for March posted. Note that despite what they state, this is not the first time since they've had the charts that DC and Marvel haven't appeared for two months in a row. If they checked their own archives, they'd see that there is nothing from either publisher in February 2012, March 2012 and April 2012 (not counting the DK Publishing Avengers reference book, which also charted last month). So it would have to be two more months before we have an unprecedented run without either publisher.

Other than that, nothing really of note. The new volumes of WALKING DEAD and SAGA were expected to top the chart. The order wasn't too surprising, since WALKING DEAD came out the first week of the month and SAGA came out the last week (BookScan measures retail sell-through, unlike the direct market chart which measures retail sell-in). I think they'll be pretty close in the direct market charts.
