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.
New Krypton continues this week as well as the hardcover edition of Civil War (finally!). And we also get the the JLA/Avengers softcover trade (FINALLY!), New X-men Vol. 3 by Grant Morrison and the Punisher Ennis Omnibus! A lot of good trades this week!
Kim's Picks
There are several good titles this week, but I'm most excited to see a new Fables and an Eternals Annual. Fables is a magnificent, ambitious, sprawling tale populated by fairy tale characters who live in our real world. If you haven't been reading it, it's so easy to get caught up on the series by reading the trade paperbacks. As for Eternals, it's an equally fanciful story, with Gods performing the role of heroes. Finally, Mice Templar finally has a new issue (#6). This is a tale of mouse knights, and it's quite a bit more complex than it sounds, actually. The art is magnificent. I can't recommend it enough.
