On the previous page someone mentioned that a comic shop/game shop/brewery combination had opened. Now you often see the first two together but brewery seems like an unusual addition. Does anyone else know of any strange comic shop + something combinations?

Today a dude came in with a complete Preacher and I was pretty hyped because they are selling for great money right now. But while looking them over and checking for any damage I smelled the cigarette smoke on the bags and even after taking them out you could still smell it. That's potentially $600+ worth of comics he absolutely ruined.

Are the smokey comics worth anything at all?

A friend of mine used to keep a pile of Gambit comics next to a toilet as reading material. I could very easily believe the comics that guy tried to sell you were covered in human urine.

Rhyno, how would your store have coped if it faced the up to 25% price increase that UK comic book stores have had to deal with?

So if I walked in off the street and said "hi, do you have the new issue of All New Wolverine?" the shop would say "no, but we can order you the 2nd printing, come back when it's out and we'll have it for you". Then I suppose it's up to me whether I wait or if I try and track down the issue elsewhere.
