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, we're pushing on into February. Where the heck did January go? Farscape #2 hits as does Buffy. Green Lantern is rolling towards Blackest Night and that book is really heating up in sales here in the shop. Brian Bendis and Jonathan Hickman's new book Secret Warriors hits this week as well. I can't wait to check that one out, not to mention Rick Remender's Punisher book.

Kim's Picks

Ahem. SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE UNIVERSE IS IN STORES TODAY! Was that loud enough for you? If you haven't been reading this Bryan Lee O'Malley series, drop everything you're doing. Play hooky from work or school. Go to your nearest comic book store immediately and buy this book. Stupid Amazon isn't shipping them until later this month, so if you want a book now, you're going to have to go out into the world.

Also, there's a brand spanking new Locke & Key today, too. Today might be the greatest day in comic book history, seriously.
