Start by staying I'm not a big comic book/superhero kind of person. I don't really follow any of that, but my 13 year old brother does. We were at Glendale Glitters and decided to walk in and take a look. Everyone was very friendly even though it was very busy.
We walked around trying to look through everything and not knowing how everything worked (series). I asked someone of they could help us. I wish I could remember the name of the guy that helped us because he was very informative and he genuinely wanted to help. He asked my brother what who he liked and talked him about every series that has ever been out and how to find them for next time.
I made a deal with my brother if he kept his grades up we would go into the comic bool store so he could pick out whatever he wanted. So far he's kept up with his side of the deal already earning high school credits in middle school! I am glad we walked into that store that day.
Their isn't anything better than encouraging young children to read, and this might be the best way to do it while supporting local businesses. Thank you!
