| - Wow.
I died and went to back issue heaven.
It's alarming how hard it is to find a decent archive of back issues in this town. Well, that's one problem solved. While the outside doesn't look like much, I did a double take on how absolutely freaking huge (and full) the inside is.
Seriously. There are comics and figures and statues EVERYWHERE. There's no way someone could make a casual run to this place, expecting a "just a few minutes" visit. I could spend hours in here and not see everything.
And what they have truly feels like everything. Steven, the owner, told me about the store's 22 years of being in business, and I'd believe it. Stuff I haven't seen and normally don't see at comic shops line the walls upon walls here. Cliche or not, I honestly couldn't wrap my head around how much awesome stuff they have here.
The staff and owner were INCREDIBLY nice and friendly. I took a liking to them instantly, and felt very welcomed there, so much that I see myself being a perma-customer there. Even the set-up is unusual. It's like some odd museum where everything can be bought, and there is so much to tempt here. Easily one of the coolest vibes I've experienced in a comic store in Vegas.
Walking outside, I turned around and looked at the storefront I just exited. There's not even the remotest of clues of what lies inside. But don't be fooled. Between the graciously warm welcome and the room upon room (yes, plural) of cool items, it's a shock going in the first time.
I don't what what store the one-star review went into, but it wasn't here. The only thing that I'd agree with is that they are indeed a "Cash Only" shop. I'm glad that I don't usually carry cash. I may as well have just handed them over my wallet when I first walked in if my financial preferences were different.
