Hi Comic Shop Friends! I hope you\u2019re all safe and with power after last week\u2019s storms. We were lucky the shop didn\u2019t lose power and we could provide you with reading material while the internet was out. All of us here lost power at home, and as of Tuesday morning, all have it back again. What a week! As we all deal with unexpected costs due to the storm, we understand if you need more time to pick up your books, just let us know, and we\u2019ll be happy to hold them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on that note, if you do have the budget for books:<\/p>\n\n\n
