If I bought comics these days, I'd do so at
The Vault of Midnight, downtown on Main Street. Most of my local comic-buying friends go there. It's a hell of a space.
Good enough this year to win
an Eisner award at SDCC. Specifically, "The Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award, given to a store that has done an outstanding job of supporting the comics art medium both in the community and within the industry at large".
Kudos to the home team. I really have to get down there and get some compilations and graphic novels (I didn't know David Mazzucchelli had a new one, for instance -- it also won an Eisner).
What good stuff are you reading lately?
