I know I'll be getting my read on of The Incredibles and Muppet Show via Shawn, but I'll be grabbing Jennifer's Body myself - gotta love some Rick Spears. Add on Jim Mahfood and you get a good helping of holy shit, yeah!
We don't get that many Boom books down here but I'll be on the look out for The Unknown and 28 Days Later.
