With the filming of The Avengers in downtown Cleveland sizzling the box office, why not celebrate our comic roots? I mean, we *do* have the Superman House in our own backyard (ahem, bragging rights…)\u00a0Carol & John’s Comic Shop<\/a>\u00a0know what’s up, so they\u00a0flew in like a superhero and helped us host a victorious Yelp party with superpower panache<\/strong>! Long time yelper,\u00a0George S<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0said it best: “I’ve never been to a Yelp Party… now, I’ll try to be a regular.\u00a0To put it simply, it was so cool!”<\/p>\n

Yelpers checked-in and were able to browse the thousands of comics, figurines and nostalgia all over the shop. Each guest got\u00a0a free hardcover and paperback as a gift from the shop owner himself\u00a0<\/strong>and gaming stations were set up for unlimited play. No Yelp CLE Elite event would be complete without a killer photobooth! Carol & John provided\u00a0real-life size replicas of Captain America’s shield and Thor’s Hammer<\/strong>, while\u00a0One Red Door Photography<\/a>\u00a0snapped the hilarity that ensued.

How about a Strawberry Chocolate Stout?<\/strong>\u00a0Guests were even allowed to take home the commemorative Yelp bottles!\"YelpersAssembleCollage4\"<\/a>Each guest was entered to win an enormous gift basket chock-full of comic-themed goodies, like an Avengers lunch box, DVDs, and more!\u00a0Winners also scored two tickets to\u00a0Scene Ale Fest<\/a>\u00a0and a social media photo shoot with\u00a0One Red Door Photography<\/a><\/strong>.
