The 9/11 Report Debuts At #2

According to comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com's latest summary of BookScan numbers,
The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation reached the second spot on the charts in its first full week of release, with sales expected to be driven to the book in the next pair of weeks due to press and public attention to the event's fifth anniversary. It was the latest volume of the series that's beginning to look like the 21st Century X-Men in terms of relentless month after month appeal to youthful North American comics readers, Masashi Kishimoto's
Naruto, that took #1 with its 11th volume. A comparison to any American comic series might be an insult to the manga.
Naruto's domination is so complete that the report claims
its first 10 volumes would hit the top 12 in a year-to-date list were one to be made today. That's Lucy playing checkers with Charlie Brown dominant.
The new
Naruto and two other manga volumes also
made the USA Today top 150 chart.
that image is what pops up at B&N as the cover for volume 11; although I'm suspicious, I like it
