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

Well, there is no doubt that the big book this week will be Star Trek Countdown #4. The prequel comic series to the upcoming Star Trek movie has sold like crazy. Issue #4 has been sold out on a distributor level for at least two weeks, so get to the shop early and pick it up. IDW has really dropped the ball here, I must say, with the lack of reprints for issues #1, #2 and #3. It's really irritated a lot of people who got caught unawares that this was coming out. Some Wolverine Trades are coming out in time for the movie, otherwise a pretty quiet week for books....
