Do you have a comic book shop in your area?

I have several within an hour's distance.

Well close, but not in my actual place I live.

Nope bad luck I live in the Netherlands

Yep. My shop is like 10 minutes away

Yup. Richmond Comix. I could walk there is I really had to.

I have one within 2 minutes but I'm not sure how they are still open

i have to go like over 30 miles

No... I have to order everything online.... and wait several days for my books to come in

:'(

that sucks big time

Got one right downtown. I actually drive over the state line and buy my books in Indiana though. Several shops in the town over.

Same Problem but in Februari I'm going to England for a week with school and go to Liverpool and some cities so I'll find some comic book shops

Unfortunately in this day and age, getting comics ordered over the internet (or illegally downloaded) is easy and comic book shops are becoming more less popular

Still always prefer the feeling of going to one though

Sorry about people outside of the U.S. I know it is slightly harder to get comics. Glad you're still with us :)

3 within like a 15-30 minute drive

i usually buy online though, too convenient.

I WORK in a comic book shop..but I'm quitting soon.

I do, its about a 15 minute bus ride (depending traffic) from my house. But I usually buy trades online.

The comic book shop in my area moved farther away, but it's still pretty much accessable.

Many....yet I never go.

Had one up into about a month ago :(

I work at one.

Yes.

The only one in my city is about a six minute drive away.

You guys are so lucky....

I have one a half mile away and go there once a week to pick up my books. They actually had their replica Flintstone car get stolen from there a few weeks back. Sucks.

@battle_forum_junkie: It's not nearly as glamourous as you think. It's a lot of work and we host different card game tournaments, which brings in the weird Magic the Gathering players.

@the_stegman: I hate when it's game night in a shop.

@longbowhunter: You and me both, it ruins the atmosphere.

@the_stegman: I play MtG :( But you're right, a large percent of the guys who play where I go can be pretty weird. And not in a good way.

I have one within like 30-50 minutes depending on traffic. They have Magic games every Friday and so I will just go on Friday and play a game or two of Magic usually.

I use to have one a block away...but then I recently moved.

I didn't mean to generalize lol, Yu Gi Oh and Warhammer players are just as...intense.

Apparition Comics

Yup the one in Hollywood is the nearest of the shops here but parking is hard to find for that one and the other ones are a little harder to get to since I don't have a car yet so I rely on the digital comics.

That's pretty much my situation, except I'm about 30 minutes away from Hollywood. I haven't found many near me, and the ones that are I buy from only a few times.

I have to use the bus to go there :(

@retconcrisis: there's one in East Los Angeles haven't been to that one and also Lecacy in Glendale I like that one but to get there in the bus takes too long. There's another one that's kinda hidden in Burbank it's nice but downtown LA NEEDS a near by shop.

I've got several within a 15-30 minute ride by car or by rail. Some of them are just different branches of the same shop and two of the malls nearby have at least two different competing shops in them, the employees of each shop are mostly friendly with each other though.

Nope

Mine is an hour or so away :/

@humanrocket: Thanks for the info, I'll check them out.

There's a nice one near me when I'm at home, but the one that's near my school only carries a few trades and refuses to set up a pull box for individual issues.

Digital or actual books?

Oh. digital.

The nearest one is 13 miles from where im at. Opening up a shop in my town is one of my goals in life.

I got two. However mostly order books online because they are cheaper.

A few, yes.

@silverpool: that's awful if I had to do that I think I would go digital lol

I have a few really close me but I mainly just go to one that has pull lists and always has everything I want in stock

We have one but if you don't know its there you wont see it it looks like some warehouse and it has one small sign. First time a buddy of mine told me about it i drove by it three times trying to find it.

I live in New york City hells yeah where all the super heroes live at, and yep I do have comic book shops, I go to midtown comics to get my stuff.
