My comic shop can beat up your comic shop

My comic shop can beat up your comic shop

May 27

I have a short, but slowly growing list of comic shops that I consider world class. I call the list, “Comic Ships That I Consider World Class.”
Meltdown Comics and Golden Apple Comics in LA would be good examples. I worked at another, way back when – Another Dimension Comics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (you’ve heard of it – they had an Olympics there once.)

In Vancouver, I count two (with two near misses that I won’t name drop today) – Imperial Hobbies in Richmond, and my home base (home is where your account box resides), Elfsar comics.

In the four years they’ve been operating, they’ve been big advocates of Wizkids Clix games, hosting a couple of gaming nights a week. One of thier regulars went to LA a few months back and won the Hero Clix tournament – Ethan, Elfsar head honcho, took it upon himself, as a way to celebrate the victory, to build this awesome championship belt. In the middle are an excellent selection of hero clix figures, collaged together, and spraypainted gold.

Sweeeeeeet.

    aww, that is cool.

    there was an olympics at another dimension comics?! i’d say that makes it the world-classiest…BY FAR.

    where did they fit the parallel bars? i’ve been in some big comic shops and I don’t know that they could handle a simple shotput setup, let alone the demands of a full Olympics.

    this store must be something to see.
