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...
Well, last week Amazing Spider-Man #546 came out and sold out nationwide. Looks like all those people who were going to drop the book due to the OMD fiasco kept right on buying the book. Enough on that...
Another slightly slow week, but we're getting the buildup to the Final Crisis. And I must say that I'm truly surprised how good the Incredible Herc is. I highly recommend that you check this book out as it's a nice addition to the Hulk titles. Also, Warbound and Hulk Red are excellent as well. Don't wait for the trade on those.
Let's get into it....
100 BULLETS #87
AMAZING SPIDER-GIRL #16 (well, orders did not go up for this terrific book, so I guess people don't want to read about married Peter Parker as much as they said.)
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #547 BND (the best selling Spider-man series continues!)
AMERICAN VIRGIN #22
AMORY WARS #5 (OF 5)
ANGEL AFTER THE FALL #3 (Season 6 continues! On my must buy list for this week!)
ATOMIC ROBO #4 (OF 6)
