jon_chaissonJust heard that Showcase Comics in Hampshire Mall is closing!! WAAAHHH!!!! :( Actually, they're not so much closing as consolidating with their Springfield store where they apparently get more customers. GAH! No more zipping down 116 after work to pick up my weekly geekfest of comic greatness. Well, I could actually go to the new shop down the road that Grover and the ex-Showcasers opened a few months ago (hey ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cell23, I know you're down the road...do you go there? If so, has it improved since opening?)...or go to the comic store in Greenfield that my dad told me about. *sigh* This sucks.

Nothing Gold-Bound and Double-Bagged Can Stay...
Date: 2004-08-24 09:25 pm (UTC)They left a message for me yesterday that said they were closing, but made no insinuation that they were vanishing into thin air. And they still had a copy of the Complete Bone on order for me. FEH! I liked the store enough, and the guys who ran it were cool (if a tad on the Comic Book Guy side), but this sudden dissapearance just cheeses me off. This would probably explain why they were selling back issues for 50% off ("...until we feel like it," the guy said when I asked how how long the sale was for) and liquidating as much product as possible. I should have seen that coming...
So hey--I'm guessing MM has a subscription-type deal like Showcase did? I'd be so happy if they did. Most of the titles I get are easily found, but there are a few I can never find (The Norm, Blue Monday, and the Shadow Star books for starters) until well after the fact.
And if I go down there, of course I'll pick up The Other Side. I can flash it around at work and say "I know the guy who made this," and they can all call me a geek and laugh at me.
Oops, did I just say that? :p
Yeah, anyway...thanks for the tip. I may just hold off on comicage for the next two weeks just so I can pool all my money for Noreascon. I'll pick up what I missed this week at Comicopia anyhoo when I'm in Boston.
