Comics Weekly

March 25, 2009
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.
New comic series featuring The Muppets and The Incredibles hit this week. Battle for the Cowl continues with a Commissioner Gordon special. New and Mighty Avengers hit this week; hopefully, the new issue of Mighty Avengers is a vast improvement over the last one. A bunch of X-men books are in stores this week and IDW continues with more Star Trek comics. I don't know what they did last year but the Star Trek books of the last year have been a blast to read, and John Byrne has seemed to find a home at IDW. It looks like he's regained his sense of "fun" that I felt he lost over the last few years. He's doing some great work on the Star Trek books, and his Angel: Blood and Trenches book from a couple of weeks ago was excellent as well.
