4 New Comic Book Stores – Quick-Stop, Blaze-Thru, Freaks And Geeks, Piranha

It's always nice to celebrate the opening of a comic book store. Well, how about four of them? Store one.

Quick-Stop Comic Shop – 3955 Dix Hwy, Lincoln Park,

The News-Herald

The shop opened Jan. 7, after six months of work, and Barger said the signs are meant to be the most eye-catching thing on Dix Highway.

"Drivers will say, 'Hey, that's Optimus Prime! I might not need anything Transformers … but I want to see what they have," Barger said with a laugh. "Kids are going to bug their moms; she's either going to stop driving down Dix-Toledo or bring him into the store … and then see the hundreds of LEGO mini figures we have for sale."

Store two

Blaze-Thru Comics, 470 Forest, No. 12, Plymouth, MI

Home Town Life

The Bonnos are working to coalesce a Plymouth-area comic book community through their store, promoting local artists and publishers and organizing a Blaze-Thru and Brew night at the Liberty Street Brewing Co. last month, which drew about 10 people to discuss The Long Halloween, a Batman serial. They hope to have similar events in the future, including some appropriate for readers under 21.

Store three

Central Track

As for comics, the store currently only sells back issues, but plans to start offering new issues with a subscription system. That could take a few months as Freaks and Geeks makes in-roads with distributors, but, if Featherstone has his way, his shop will soon be, in his words, a "one-stop shop for comics."

Store four. Down the road from me in Kingston Upon Thames, London.
