but beyond that it's a wonderful shop. Ridiculously clean, organized, and tastefully-decorated. I just spent eighty bucks there an hour ago. I may have an addiction.

I wish I had a comic book store like the guys in The Big Bang Theory have, that store looks like heaven to a DC homer like myself...


One of the things my fiance and I do while watching Big Bang is play "Spot the DC Product" in any given scene. There are usually a few DC floppies on the coffee table every episode, and of course their bedrooms hold a wealth of DC Showcase titles. Marvel products pop up now and again but tend to be much rarer than DC stuff.

For a while nearly every episode had a Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition rulebook somewhere in the background. Obviously there are dedicated nerdlings in the set decoration crew.
