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's a big week for the Secret Invasion books, and there's a Final Crisis tie-in as well...

Picks of the Week - from Kim Hollis

Angel After the Fall #11
I mentioned last week that I'm enjoying this series, a continuation of Joss Whedon's television show Angel, much more than either Buffy or Serenity (in fact, I didn't like the most recent Serenity at all). I'm finding that I like IDW as much as any publisher in the industry, as I pick up new stuff from them pretty frequently. If you have missed the characters from the Angel-verse, this is a great way to catch back up with them.

Everybody's Dead #5
Here's another book from IDW, and it's also written and created by the same guys who are working on Angel. This one puts a group of frat guys smack dab in the middle of a zombie apocalypse - to hilarious results. It's kind of a cross between Animal House and Shaun of the Dead, and it really works.

Green Arrow/Black Canary #11
I've truly enjoyed this series, which has the Green Arrow and new bride Black Canary working together to solve a mystery that has tragic implications for their burgeoning family. The art is simply fantastic, and it's one of those books that I look forward to with each issue.

Punisher #60
I actually have no personal interest in this series; however, I think it's important to mark Garth Ennis's final book in the series. Ennis has a number of devotees thanks to his work on Preacher, and it's my understanding that Punisher will not disappoint those people. Maybe I'll pick it up when it's in trade paperback, but the violence is a little much for me.
