Pete Kilmer has been in the comics retail industry for ten years as a member of Downtown Comics in Indianapolis. Downtown Comics is one of the Midwest's largest comic retailers with over four locations in Indianapolis. All opinions are his own, and they cannot be bought with free swag. Beer and a walk on role on Chuck to steal Sarah from Chuck and I'm bought...
It sure is some sad news about Heath Ledger that broke this week. It's a tragic story for an actor with a lot of talent who was poised to really become a major player after years of some very strong work in films.
Let's get into the list for this week. Oh, one note...Marvelcomics.com falsely reported that Captain America #34 shipped this week. That's not the case at all...thankfully that's why you check this list. I have no idea why Marvel, DC, Image announce that a book will be in stores on a certain week and then won't issue a correction when it's clear it's not going to be. That's just poor PR, guys...
