Comics

Comic book stores are where you the get to buy comics. Without comic stores we would never have had the chance to buy comics that have rocked our world since we are kids. Though the technology age is here now you can get comics online and find that the stores have also integrated into online stores and are now pulling in more clientele than they did before.

The good thing about real stores was that you could go to look for a comic book and get someone to explain to you right away a short skit on how the superhero did something in the previous comic book that led to the new one coming out. You would also get the store clerk to hold a comic book for you for a while until you where able to pay and also call you to tell you when you could rush over when a new release had hit the stores. I sometimes would get into the store and ask the clerk who was a pal of mine to let me go through a comic before I decided if I wanted to take it. Online stores however don’t really have that homely feeling but they still work and you get to know more information on where the writer is trying to go with the comic series.

Some of the comics I loved where really in high demand and are still are, such as superheroes like Spiderman, Batman, Superman, The Avengers, X-Men, The Incredible Hulk and many more that still pick my interest. Comic book stores are still there even today only fewer; however they are still doing well even though they have competition from the online kind of Comic Book Stores.
