Buzz
(Check out all the indie love we've been getting.)
First was the Wizard.com list of top five indie stores in the country.
Then came the Newsarama love (CBLDF Event). We love them, too.
Now, check out this latest love on USA Today, yep, USA Today. Be sure to check out Whitney's column on a regular basis. That's where I first saw the Simpson's cartoon intro performed by real actors... bizarre! Of course, while you are on YouTube, you can also check out the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special (definitely not for kids).
Patton Oswalt was in town for SXSW, 2006. He performed live with the Comedians of Comedy at Emo's and Cap City Comedy Club.

Pull Service?
Even though we don't do a traditional pull service, we will set aside and special order comics for you.
We
carry a wide range of collectibles and do our best to provide whatever
our customers require. From statues and action figures to T-shirts
and Zippos to Magic and Heroclix games
to over 250,000 back issues, we try to make it very hard to walk
out empty-handed. If your regular comic shop always
has too many "sold out" sign up the
day comics come out, or has had the same back issue comics
for years, or just doesn't carry what you want, come to us.
We
are very active in acquiring collections, unique items, and backstock,
especially in our comics section. If
you are looking for something special that you just can't find anywhere
else, or if you have something special you would like to sell, drop
us a line. We ship anywhere.
