My Favorite Comic Book Shop

As it was announced that Marvel is selling The Stand: Captain Trips Premiere Hardcover exclusively via comic shops (out in stores tomorrow - get out to your local comic shop and buy a copy!), I figured this was a good time to mention my favorite local comic shop... Comix Connection. Comix Connection is a wonderful comic book store, with two locations in central PA, Mechanicsburg and York (not only is Comix Connection the best comic shop around, they also keep their customers updated with a highly entertaining blog - worth a look even if you aren’t from the area).

Comix Connection is a splendid full service comic shop - new comics, trades, back issues, action figures, clothing, games, etc. Typically comic shops are stereotyped as messy, poorly lit, and unfriendly to shoppers who are not regulars... nothing like that going on at Comix Connection - it is clean, organized, and staffed by friendly and knowledgeable folks. A few times a year (Halloween and Free Comic Book Day) they will have a huge sale worth traveling for. Before I gave up reading monthly comics on a regular basis (I am all trades all the time when it comes to comics nowadays) every Wednesday during my lunch hour I’d head over to Comix Connection to get my fix... now it is more of a monthly or bimonthly trip to see what new are trades out - not only have I been reading too many non-comic-books to keep up with ongoing series, but trades just make more fiscal sense to the reader who does not really collect comics.

Anywho... If you are ever in central PA and have a hankering to get some comics, Comix Connection is the place to do it!
