Support NeoGAF

[Gantz]

I want to order those Streetfighter comics but the comic shops around here suck. Are there any good places to order online?

i don't want to sound like an ass, but you should support your local comic shop get them to special order it, etc.

I dont know how competitive they are but I've only heard people using www.midtowncomics.com

 

[Gantz]

Why would I want to support my local comic shops if they suck in the first place?

 

[sefskillz]

thats like asking why we protect the bald eagle!

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Maybe... they wouldn't suck so much if people supported them?

 

[Gantz]

Why would I want to shop somewhere that has a piss poor selection?

 

[Drexon]

Yeaaah, I also need some comics *coughh-mangacough*.

 

[sefskillz]

i don't want to derail this thread any further so hopefully all questions can be answered here. the reason they have a piss poor selection is because they're not making much money, few of them do. they only stock titles they think will sell and sadly its usually not anything i'm interested in. if theres a book you want you can always special order it with them or if its a run you can signup and they'll order it for you and you'll have it on the day it comes out. with enough support they'll be able to order and stock a larger variety of comics which will take them out of this 'suck' state that they are in now.

you, too, can make a difference!

Maybe you can buy Spike's copies. I hear he buys two of each.

good luck tracking down the sandman issues, i can find the majority of sandman issues at the comic shops within a 30 minute radius of me. some issues are tough to find and $$ though.
