We only see each other at weddings and funerals.

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 in Superman this week. The Death of Captain America Vol. 3 hits in hardcover this week. Otherwise, it's a solid week for books. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Kim's Pick
This week, it's all about the new Umbrella Academy. For those of you who missed out on the original series, now is the time to go ahead and buy the trade paperback and get caught up so you can be in on this new series from the very beginning. It's notable for being written by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, but you don't have to know or even like the band's music to get into the Umbrella Academy. The members of the Academy are basically superheroes who were adopted by an alien/mogul/entrepreneur in order to bring them together to save the world - over and over again. I'm a big fan of Gabriel Ba's art, and the story has a lot of humor and inventiveness.
