| - - UPDATED: STORE NOT CLOSED! -
I heard that the original Dreamwell Comics, a long running player in the Vegas comic book market, had been robbed by people (who may probably have a very hot seat in hell), was almost forced to close forever in 2009, and would never come back in it's original form.
The original owners were great guys who loved to talk about comics, one lifetime DC fan, and one lifetime Marvel fan - and I'll remember them forever for being able to track down old Marvel issues with Captain Ultra in them.
Enter 2010, and Dreamwell 2.0 AKA - Wishing Well Comics.
The old guys are gone, and I wouldn't blame them if what happened last year had convinced them to call it quits. A younger dude runs the store now, and he's just as friendly and accomodating as the original owners were.
The store looks largely the same as it always did, and it still has a bit of Mom & Pop feel, probably one of the last of it's kind.
Some may say the space limits the selection, but they've always had what I'm looking for, and have even ordered graphic novels that I used to travel to Borders to find - only to see that someone else had grabbed them. If you don't see something in there, you can probably order it.
tl;dr
PROS: Great old Mom & Pop comic store. Ultra friendly staff. Lots of history behind the location.
CONS: May not impress people spoiled by size and newness. Limited parking in front of the shop, but just park near the bar or 7-11. This place is totally worth walking an extra 25 feet.
