Beer and a walk on role on Chuck to steal Sarah from Chuck and I'm bought.
Well, it's kind of a quiet week except for the long awaited Captain America #34 where the New Cap is finally revealed. And of course the major news sites got the story completely wrong. Steve Rogers is not alive - he's still sunk at the bottom the Antarctic thanks to Namor.
The other big title of the week if Y the Last Man #60. Wrapping up Brian K. Vaughan's highly acclaimed series, this issue promises to wrap everything up.
