@queso6p4: It was 1st a bar then a pet shop from my understanding, We have a kitchen in our Gaming area! and a Fireplace in our Upstairs Gaming room for Erie horror games on cold winter nights.
Show us your Comic Shop
@judgedreadlocks: my comic shops (i use two) are very small none of them have a gaming room!!!!!!!
@themanintheshoe: Nice! Wasn't expecting to see Cookie Monster in the display window. :-)
That sounds pretty awesome and that floor is amazing! If I were ever in the area I'd definitely have to check this place out. We have a game and comic store in separate buildings on the same street and they're across the street from each other.

Interesting. Why the two shops? Can you find what you need between the two or do they have complementary hours?

i like to support a small comic shop, but when i can't get something i get it from a mega store just around the corner.
@arkhamc1tizen: Gotcha. That makes sense.

Westfield Comics in Madison, Wisconsin! http://westfieldcomics.com/
Here is the inside and outside of their west side location.
And here is the outside of their east side location, the one I usually go to. It's quite a bit smaller than their west side location, but they will happily transfer stock from one store to another if an item is needed. Both locations are clean and well set up with friendly staff, however, they don't carry older issues.
Capital City comics.
Quite cramped feeling, but they do have a ton of back issues and trades and the guy is helpful. I'd go here more often if it were closer to me.
Silver Snail Comics, Ottawa, ON: http://www.silversnail.com/main/
No photo for this one and it is no where near enough to me to be my LCS, but it is a neat store that my ex-roommate frequents. Very friendly and LGBT welcoming. Plus, they sell tpb at American prices and give a (I think) 20% discount on them.
None of the images are mine, I found them either on Facebook or Google.
@lovelokest: Good stuff, good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I didnt take these pics but I go in there a lot plus I see the lady in the green lantern shirt there a lot.

I live in a small town and therefore have a small local comic book shop, so when I look at you guys and your HUGE local comic book shops, I almost pass out from jealousy. This is my local comic book shop - The Incredible Comic Book Shop, here the term "small but mighty" applies. It has all the new comic books out plus variants and signed comics. Only thing missing out is in supplying old comics from the 90s and earlier but hey-ho, beggars can't be choosers
Amazon and ComiXology for sure, but Midtown Comics is amazing when I come across one, and when I move to Ottawa in the fall I'll become a regular at the Silver Snail! (the Toronto one is great)
I subscribe to Green Lantern through Amazon, I use Comixology a shitload for digital stuff, and when I go visit my dad, I go to a place in a nearby Cleveland suburb (Willoughby) called Comic Heaven.
Great place. Well organized, super knowledgeable people who legitimately care about you and your comic interests. Dudes always ask what's going on with my life outside of comics, shit like that. Can't recommend it enough if you're in the east Cleveland area.
This is my local comicbook store. Run locally and not a chain. It's tiny compared to the local chain store in my city, but I much prefer OK Comics as the service is superior and feels more homely. They get to know you, know your tastes and like to discuss and help out whenever possible.
@havenless: Place is a lot bigger than it looks from the front. I like the name of the shop and everything. Pretty cool with the spidey/doc-oc set up.
We're lucky in the Baltimore suburbs to have 6 comic shops within a reasonable drive. I'm especially fortunate to have my favorite of them a couple blocks walk from my front door.
Cosmic Comix & Toys, Catonsville MD:
Like @wundagoreborn, I have several comic shops in my area, but the one I go to is The Time Capsule in Seekonk, Massachusetts (they also have a store in Cranston, Rhode Island, on the other side of Narragansett Bay).
UPDATE: Here's some pics.
I'm so incredibly jealous of everyone here!
I have to use a local Barnes & Noble to grab my comics, and it's often that they don't have what I'm looking for.
There is a Newbury comics that's an hour or so away from me but I don't get to go there often because of the long drive.
@raythelion: hey i go to acme too
@thing150 Cool. I love it there.
Man I love comic book stores!! Haha whenever I go to a different state I visit every store in the city.
my 2 shops, i have a pull list at comics2games bc of a 15 percent off but comic book world has more back issues, C2G's has more statues and toys though (:
http://conquestcomics.com/https://www.facebook.com/ConquestComics It's the best I have around here
@giantsfan576: Sweet. Looks they have a lot of figures. Thank for posting and if you do add more I look forward to seeing those as well.
There is one. Couldn't find pictures of the other shop I go to, Demolition Comics. But, this place is great and Greg Land (Iron Man, Mighty Avengers) will be there on Saturday!

London
i went to this one while vacationing in London, it was awesome, i literally went there everyday.
I go to Wizards Asylum, I went to PDC weekly for 8 months when the new 52 started and they never told me about a pull list but the other guy did so I go there now.
I started collecting comics again last year when the issue of Astonishing X-Men #51 came out. I'm not the type of collector that collects older issues, or hopes that my issues will be worth thousands years from now. I got the issue simply because I felt it would be a memorable one. It was that issue and seeing Avengers vs X-Men that got me into collecting again. And since then, I have been through three different shops.
The first one is called Secret Headquarters
Then, I found Meltdown Comics
And now, I shop at Golden Apple Comics. The one shop I hope to stick with. They're the one shop that I have truly felt at home with. Their employees are nice, they talk with you about the titles you're reading, they're always helpful, and you can tell they love their job. I also have a pull with them which is something I never got offered with the two previous shops. They offered me the pull on my first visit. So I can count on them having my titles bagged and boarded every week. The 10% discount is also nice. It's a pretty small shop, but they have a pretty good selection of toys, clothes, recent and back issues, as well as some trading cards.
