Let’s see see some motherfucking, brick and mortar, sweet smelling, real-ass comic book stores!!!
Megabrains. Too bad it closed down last year...
>>155276592I miss comic stores as they existed in the 80's and 90's: Kind of dingy, cluttered and dimly lit, always with an edgy, sun-faded Punisher, Ghost Rider or Spawn poster up in the window. Nowadays comic shops try to hard to appeal to normies with their fluorescent lighting and plenty of space to walk around. Give me the over-crowded shelves and bins with wood paneling on the walls any day.
>>155276667RIP. NEVER FORGET THAT VAXXIE HYPOCHONDRIACS KILLED MAIN STREET.

Green Shift music and comics, in Tampa, Fl...been my store since '92. Then about 17 years ago, I realized I don't have to pay for comics.
>>155277122>>155277151whats wrong with posting record stores?, in the uk we have HMV that is mainly a music/ record store but for some reason they now focus on comics and manga
>>155277176Go to /mu/, faggot!

The only LCS left in my town which is at the mall had to move to an even smaller kiosk, they no longer sell back issues and trades, now it's just a tiny little room where you pick up new releases from a rack and from your pull box as well as McFarlane figures and cards.
>>155278332>Gimenez>literal whoGet the fuck off this board
>>155276824Someone please steal that WW statue for me. I have... uses for it...
>>155282299I just want a handie from that Spider-man
>>155276592I want to throw this question out there: Should a comic shop have ALL their books organized?Let me explain:>One of my local shops as an absolutely amazing selection, maybe the second biggest store in our region.>The "priced as marked" books (about 10 short boxes are organized in alphabetical order, as are the set boxes.>About 80% of the stores comic boxes are $1/$2 unorganized long boxes, lets say 35 boxes.>Owner and his three employees refuse to take a week and organize everything in those boxes out of sheer laziness (I literally heard him say it) after getting hounded in person and online about it.>Many people (myself included) want them to reorganize since we don't want to spend all fucking day trying to find a certain issue of whatever we're looking for.
>>155282604>>About 80% of the stores comic boxes are $1/$2 unorganized long boxes, lets say 35 boxes.I should also clarify that's not loose books... these are bagged and boarded books that are in all those boxes. This shop doesn't carry new books, either.
