Current Events > Ever been to a comic book store?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not since like 2001. The one in my old area moved into a mall further away.
---

Ive been to one comic store 3 times. It felt like a waste of time because you could just buy all that stuff online
---

I used to play MTG at a comic store once or twice a week for nearly a decade. Then the owners finally got tired of this one awesome pizza place burning the whole thing down and sold the lot to WalMart.
---

there are 2 near me, both across the street from one another lolz
---

There's a few in my town. There's a really good one downtown but it suffers from being small. The other one is big and "modern" but pricey.
---

Not for a real long time, probably close to what TC said, early 2000's
---

Yeah, San Antonio has a bunch. Heroes and Fantasies, Alien Worlds, Dragon's Lair to name a few, I was at H&F a few weeks ago.

Dammit, that sucks. Any others in your area?

No

Did go to a few stores that exclusively sold trading cards though. Which may be even nerdier.
---

Yeah, they're usually too expensive for me. I'm cheap, can't remember the last time I paid full price for a comic.
---

There's like 3 within 4 miles of my house.
There's 2 across from one another and the 3rd is down a side street about 2 blocks away from the other 2.

And then there is 1 more in the flea market in Winter haven

I live in NYC and tend to browse comic shops every once in a while. Its just that newer comics arent up to snuff and are way overpriced. I buy most of my comics online these days. Used TPBs on Amazon and eBay are where most of my comic book money goes.

i work in one. though, it's much more games than comics.

There's one that's in a pretty meh neighborhood like 40 minutes away, and the corpse of another one 5 miles down the road. I haven't played MTG in a long time now and one of my asshole little brothers found all of my cards that were stored at my dad's place and sold them. Sometimes having brothers is great, other times it's the worst.
