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...
