September 27, 2012 6:30 pm Out of curiosity ,whom do any of you think may be a better choice to consult on these new films, or do you think Mark is the perfect choice?

September 13, 2012 7:07 pm LOL I remember that issue of the X - men.

September 13, 2012 7:04 pm May be Marvel can reprint some of those old issues of Arcade vs the X - men and whom ever else, I remember enjoying that issue when I was younger.

September 5, 2012 3:27 pm I broke the Wednesday mold because of a lack of time, and became a Saturday customer. Once I had a pull list, my need to get to the store Wednesday decreased 10 fold. I do enjoy listening to the different conversations going on about comics and stuff, in my case there were many positive conversations which put a voice and face to the fans. It's been my geek comrades that have gotten me excited. There have been numerous occasions where I have learned about how great a series is or was by some talk in the shop. It's always great to spot another fan.

August 7, 2012 11:07 pm I have tried to go digital(,but I currently don't own a ipad, so I never find myself compelled to read the comics I bought on comixology, because of the time spent in front of a computer screen on a daily basis. This is always going to be that factor for me. I live local enough to make my way to Melt down, and I think the other place has done a poor job getting the word out to comics buyers in the vast area. I mean with Borders closed down, LCS have basically snatched back the opportunity for the impulsive buy from the locals. It seems generally that most business have access to the web for advertising and such, but are not dedicating the time to really figure out how to use the format to their advantage. I know it's hard because it basically new ground, but it's being treated like advertisements in a local newspaper. 50% off can bring a lot of people provided they went about connecting with them way before hand. There haven't been many great promotions for comics online which has gotten me excited, I think ifanboy did it best when they did their video review of comic runs, because they put a face and personality to the team and were able to tie it together with visual aids to ingrain the image on the viewer. It got me pumped for comics. I am not saying their way is the only method, it just approached advertising in a way which was unique compared to other reviewers. Another show was called Prisoners of Gravity. In the end ,I do see digital as the ultimate fix for the comics dilemma. The faith by companies to the LCS are really a barrier to making comics really affordable online, but at the same time there isn't the right type of coverage online to attract people, I can go to the LCS and get a book recommended based on a person building a relationship, I currently get advertisements from comixology about sales, just like amazon, and I end up either forgetting or ignoring them. I will more than likely keep going to a LCS as long as I like the people at the store, they have always been a big help in my comic enjoyment.

August 7, 2012 10:10 pm I heard of this as an agreement for the fan/customer coming into the store. On the one hand it's great for a fan whom can't afford, but loves comic, but for the fan whom actually needs the cash, you are beat out by the fan whom just wants comics almost every time. Over heads a bitch!!

July 30, 2012 2:57 pm I disagree with Ron about the Imax platform, It enhanced the sense of scale for the sky shots, compared to a normal screening.

July 27, 2012 9:03 pm I second that !!

July 25, 2012 3:23 am Lol, We could use this as a blue print for a lot of cities in the United States.
