WatchWorks Comics of Mocksville, North Carolina, Closed

Chris Underwood, owner of comic store WatchWorks Comics in Mocksville, North Carolina, posted the news to Facebook earlier in the month,

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that today is the last day for WatchWorks Comics. I always wanted to be a part of something that I have loved since I was a child. I can't draw and could never manage to get the stories in my head onto paper. The best I could do is come up with a way to get unique comics into your hands. I've been doing that for 15 years. Sadly, I was not able to succeed as a store owner. We may be bought out name and stock or we may continue online but as of today we no longer have a store. I will continue to treasure the friends I have made in the industry, and in the shop. Thank you all for your loyal support.

So what looked like this…

…now looks like this.
