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.

Hope everyone had a great Free Comic Book Day experience last Saturday. Wolverine the movie opened to huge box office numbers despite being a stunningly average movie. It's like 20th Century Fox didn't even care to properly finish it due to the lackluster CG effects (The Waterfall Jump, his claws through most of it). It's a true shame that they dropped the ball on this movie despite some really solid performances from the cast (Liev Schriber was terrific as was Danny Huston).

Anyway, it's a really solid week for books as the Bendis Alias series comes back into print in trade, Y the Last Man HC Vol. 2 hits as does Buffy Vol. 4. Let's take a look at the rest of the list.
