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 pretty big week for comics on the day before Christmas. There are lots of trades and two Avengers titles, as well as a Secret Invasion Requiem that will hit the shelves. I'm also looking forward to the new Farscape comic and Punisher War Zone #3. Have a great holiday!

Kim's Pick

My very favorite episode of Angel ever to air was Smile Time. So imagine my joy when I see the words "Angel: Smile Time #1" on this week's list of new releases! For those who have been unhappy with the After the Fall arc (I'm not one of them), this might be just the thing to bring Angel back to the levels they're expecting. For me, the prospect of seeing Angel as a puppet is all I need, though it's possible the sight gags will lose a little something in the translation.
