It's that time of year....

It's that time of year when you never know WHO is going to walk into the store. Here is a picture from a recent visitor:



Mardi Gras Costume Shop is just next to the plaza where Comic Zone is located, so I suspect we will see even more in the days to come.

This weekend is Halloween weekend. We have Stephen Jung, a local artist, coming into the store. He is known for Dark Fantasy art. You can find out more about him at http://www.jungarts.com.

Anyone who does come into the store on Saturday and/or Sunday dressed in a costume will receive a free comic or two or three.

And there will be sales..... Stay posted for more details.

Obama Nation

We have a new product in the store. It's a card game called Obama Nation. (You can find out more about the game here: http://www.obamanationcardgame.com/).



My understanding is that it is simple to play but it has twisted rules. Being a supporter of Obama, I'm not really sure how I will like this game. But, if I set my political leanings aside, it looks like it could be a hoot.

We are planning to have a team in on a Saturday in November to show folks how to play. In fact, we just may make it a gaming day.... so stay tuned. I'll let you know more as I do.

Wow!

I walked into the store today and boy, was I surprised!

Over the months since we have been open, although our comics are always neat and well-organized, the counter behind the register has been capturing lots of miscellaneous piles of stuff. Our storage area has been a mish-mosh of this and that, and it was becoming harder and harder to get to some of the stuff as we needed it. We have had a running backlog of items that needed to be tagged and filed in the back issues bins. That was how things were when I left the store last night.

I walked in today, and the back issues box was empty - in fact, gone - and all of the comics had been tagged and filed. The counter is neat and organized and everything is labeled, and the storage room is suddenly bright and easy to navigate, and seems three times bigger than it did yesterday. The floors are vacuumed. The gaming area is neat and orderly. All of the little things that had been bugging me have been fixed.

Turns out that Sean and his friends came in after hours last night and worked all night to bring this about.

Wow! I am SO impressed!
