This place is not for local customers. Every Wednesday, new releases are cleared out by other local comic book store owners for their shelves. If there was an issue you could not get a hold of, I bet you can find that exact same issue at Pulp Fiction , marked up because they bought the supply for the week from Amazing Comics. The rest of the collection that is left, is damaged goods being sold at full-price. For instance, some Local Comic Book Store Day foil variants are damaged at the spine and color breakage right on the cover selling, at above cover price.
If you are lucky to find what you re looking for, it is not guaranteed to be a copy in acceptable condition. You might get lucky if the store decides to cover up the damage with a price tag.
To make matters worse, eventually if you explore the store long enough, you ll discover an unmarked section beneath the back-issues, that is reserved for store employees only. Don t touch those! Apparently, they re highly sought after issues that staff sets aside for their own speculation purpose. Forgive me for not understanding fully, but how is that a professional business practice? If you don t want visitors to look through those boxes, they should not be there or there should be a clearly marked sign.
So, if the new issues are Reserved for other comic book store owners and employees every week, and the rest of the collector issues are Reserved for staff at Amazing Comics, then what is Reserved for the local customers and visitors? Trash. It s embarrassing to see this in the community. In fact, miss me with that shiz. I ll skip out Wednesdays now, I don t want to see Red Hat Guy getting verbally abused by Pulp Fiction Girl again for not pulling her specific issues. Now available at THIS local comic book store.
