The comic book died when Gail Simone left after this issue.

Beer and a walk on role on Chuck to steal Sarah from Chuck and I'm bought.

It's a big week for Marvel and DC Comics. There's some good Dark Avengers stuff and some Secret Invasion trades as well.

Kim's Pick

There's only one comic that makes my heart sing this week, and that's Angel: Smile Time #2. If you never watched the show, I would still implore you to try to find and check out that single episode. It's a masterpiece of television. But if you like comics more than you dig TV, the comic does seem to be following the storyline pretty deliberately. You'll just miss some of the cuteness.
