I love the concept. I hope it goes well. If I were in the area, I'd definitely check out the event.

Dear Compsolut,

Have fun at your Comic Con!

And it's so cool that you are promoting your comic book store.

Aloha!

Hey everyone, here are a few pics from our Con. The other owner and I decided that this will have to be at least an annual, if not semi-annual event, that we do for our customers. Not only did they get to meet world class talent like Otis Frampton (Oddly Normal and How It Should Have Ended), but they got to meet some local artists, and of course . . . The Honky Tonk Man! I said I would post some pictures, so here are some, as well as our Facebook page that has a couple more.

that is a great looking store, sizable (beyond big two) new release rack, love the crossed comic up front and center

[erickowabunga]

Thanks Drew! Yeah, in our area we do pretty good with Image, Dark Horse, and Valiant as well as the big two. So we try to treat everyone as equals on the new books this week racking in front. You should come in some time!

Dear Compsolut,

Great pictures from the "World Smallest Comic Con."

It was cool that you guys took a picture with The Honky Tonk Man. I use to be a wrestling fan a long time ago (back in the 80's-early 90's).

A great picture of the store prior to opening. You guys have a huge store that is clean and very well organized.

It's cool that you guys will make this an annual event.

If I'm in the area, I'll try to stop by.

Aloha!
