Been snooping around in more than a few comic book shops lately and have returned to Drawn to Comics for the third time.
Selection:
-mediocre selection of graphic novels, most are DC comic hero types. For the Vertigo and Image comic fan, you'll leave disappointed.
-lots of comics available to peruse some in boxes, some on shelves. I've found that reboots are far more common to find than original series, also disappointing.
Organization:
-comics are loosely filed alphabetically inside cardboard boxes
-well-protected in plastic bag
-one or two employees organizing stock, willing to answer trivial questions
-"kids" comics near the front, along with a play area
Events:
-apparently there are HeroClix groups that meet here on Saturday (per website), no other RPG or LCG gaming groups are available to join
Perks:
-some benefit for paying with cash (I forget if it was a discount or if you were entered into a drawing for something)
-10% discount (per their website) for military and students with ID
-can order out of stock items to be picked up at a later date
Dings:
-cheaper to buy on Amazon
-only had reboot issues of The Crow
-below average selection for graphic novels, heavily weighted towards DC hero series
**NOTE: the reason I purchase graphic novels vs. individual comic books is due to the distance I live from all comic stores, not out of personal preference but because it makes financial sense.**
