Definitely not your typical comics store;



They're flawless with my pull list, bag and board all purchases for free, and have an exhaustive collection of graphic novels/TBPs. They also host a lot of local artists in a variety of media, run art contests, and give my kids free stuff (promotional trinkets and such) when they come in with me.

Sometimes I'll pick up trades from cheapgraphicnovels.com or Amazon; I just got the first two omnibus editions of Asterix from Amazon yesterday. Back issues of floppies I usually order from mycomicshop.com.
