The Vortex of Awesome

There’s no way around it. Read More Comics in Brandon, Florida, is awesome beyond words. This store has given me a reason to be happy that my in-laws live in Brandon because, if they didn’t, I would never have found this store. I first set foot in Read More Comics because I was being forced to go to Brandon on Free Comic Book Day. Rather than miss out on some free comics, I hopped online and found the best rated store in the area. The store was well-run with knowledgeable staff. Every employee was friendly to every customer. They had computer printouts to set up pull lists, and they gave a 25% discount on trades/hard covers every single day they were open.

But wait…there’s more. You see, every time I walk into the store, I find something that has been virtually impossible for me to find in a brick-and-mortar store(1) in my area. Last time, it was some back issues of Grant Morrison’s current Batman run. This time, it was the only New Avengers issue that I don’t have in some fashion, New Avengers Annual #1. I have come to rely on trips to Brandon to fill in hard-to-find gaps.

If you live in the Tampa area and you’re not getting your comics at Read More Comics, drop in and set up a pull list. You’ll be glad that you did.
