Comic Store : W. Michigan Comic Connection

Rothe Blog Comic West Michigan

Location : Grand Haven, MI
I went into this comic store soon after I started collecting for my first pass in the sixth grade. They would have great sales on books I was looking for, and the whole experience was generally upstanding. But I was young, and at the time, two chronic smokers that were in their 120’s didn’t bother me. The store moved within one strip mall four times, and I grew tired of the old owners.

Eventually the store was …

Comic Store : Queen City Comic And Card Co.

Location : Cincinnati, OH
I really liked this store. A cool old corner intersection building that is misleading when you first walk in, Queen City Comics is a very spacious store with plenty to choose from. They had all of the trades I was looking for that day, and the one single issue of Tomb Raider too. Two rooms large, this store has a ton of selection and back issues, and the guys who run the store …

Comic Store : Caveman Comics

It is always fun for me to stop at a store out of state. The adventure of finding it and the unknown. I don’t know what about the unknown excites me, but this store is a great example. With everything from music, to movies, to an extensive original transformers collection for sale, this humongous store was a dream come true. The staff was helpful, the guy at the register even giving me a comic out of his

I remember when I first moved to Grand Haven and Comics were a big thing. There must have been like 4 stores just in GH alone, and Langes was one of them. They had a small local chain of four stores, and I used to go there all the time looking for great deals on baseball cards, and later in life, comic books.

But eventually, like most businesses, Lange’s got sloppy. I think they may have two

Comic Store : Downtown Comics South

I have only been to this store twice, but it seems to be a pretty good one. Like most of the Downtown Comics, it has a pretty good selection, but things will sell out quickly if you only have one copy of them. This store also has a good flow, new releases lead you to the back to back issues and around the back with those back up to the front with graphic novels. And unlike some Downtown …

Comic Store : Downtown Comics North

Location : Indianapolis, IN
I went to this store on a regular basis when I worked at DGS Group on the north side. A big store, but it doesn’t always have
things in stock. The guys who work here are fairly friendly, always professional, but a little standoff-ish.

Comic Store : Downtown Comics

This is the dream comic shop that every fanboy. With a great store, a friendly staff of knowledgeable guys, and people who always ask if there is something you need without being pushy, Downtown Comics is the Comics chain that only a big city atmosphere, right in the thick of things downtown, can support.
