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...
The book of the week will be Secret Invasion, of course, from Marvel Comics and Brian Bendis. I, for one, cannot wait. This should be quite fun and ground shaking for the Marvel Universe. Walking Dead is also out this week as well and I can't wait for that one, either!
