Arsenal Comics & Games Open Second Store in Ventura, California

Say you are a comic book store that named yourself after a comic book character. Then the publisher of that character goes and kills them off in a major event. You might be bummed. Or you might just double down and open a second store.

Diamond Comic Distributors has been running special programmes to encourage comic book stores to expand with new outlets, creating chains, as it is seen as a more efficient way of creating new comic book stores than starting from scratch, with very generous start-up packages.

The latest to take them up on that offer is Eisner Award nominee Arsenal Comics & Games, who have a store in Newbury Park, California. Well, as of the beginning of this month, they also have a second store in Ventura. And it's a biggun.

With big opening scissors to match. The insides are a little more expensive than their other stores as well.

And it should be hard to miss.

Just, so, you know, I hope they aren't too disappointed with Heroes In Crisis #1. After the events in that issue…
