Two new titles with the potential to be on the list for a while took the second and third slots in October. The new Roz Chast graphic novel, Going into Town: A Love Letter, took the #2 slot; Chast’s Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant was on the chart for months a few years back. And Dark Horse’s Overwatch: Anthology Vol. 1 came in at #3, powered by Blizzard Entertainment's hot multiplayer online first-person shooter, which now has over 35 million players.
Other 2017 hits were also doing well, with Everybody’s a Aliebn on the chart for the fifth consecutive month, and The Life-Changing Manga of Tidying Up staying on the chart for its fourth month.
