Comics Weekly

April 15, 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 a bought man.
So the second part of the Neil Gaiman/Andy Kubert "Whatever Happened to Batman" story has been delayed YET AGAIN to April 22nd. Unbelievable. They've had a year to work on it and the second part is late by a couple of months. Just unbelievable. With the delay of that book, it's really killed the momentum that the first part created. Don't get me wrong, the book will still sell, but the casual Neil Gaiman comic fans have already forgotten about it.
It's a solid but light week for books...
