This is one way to cut through the BS in the healthcare debates.
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 Burn Notice to steal Fiona from Michael Weston and I'm a bought man.

We're still filling in for Pete, but promise he'll be back with some commentary in the near future. Best bets for the week include Air #12 (this is a Lost-esque book with lots of intrigue); Army of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama #1 (duh); and Monsters, Inc. Laugh Factory #1 (if we're in Pixar's pocket, we may as well be all the way in it). As far as trades go, the hardcover of Angel: Smile Time hits today, and then there's Spider Man Loves Mary Jane: You Hit the Jackpot. I'm not as in love with this book as I was when Sean McKeever was writing it, but there's still a nice element of sweetness about it.
