Due to the pending investigations and everything, Troy can't really say too much, but he's leaning toward reopening.

Since ubiquitous you are definitely a consumer base, though, he'd like your input as to what kinds of geek things could he stock that you would actually buy. Would you want more graphic novels, underground movies, odd Japanese toys, or something else entirely? Seriously.

T-shirts (his was the only store where I could find a Betty Page or Anime Ts)
Anime Art Books (once again, his was the only store that had Masamune Shirow in stock when they came out with Intron Depot)
Underground movies and Anime

My own 2 cents worth. I just know that every time I went in there, I came out with some stuff and left about $50 a shot.

That's actually what he said on Monday. I told him that while it's appropriate, and fitting, given the X-Men reference as well, it's too predictable.

Oh damnit Caustic. For once, just once, could you let something be a little cheesey or predictable in the name of geek humor! It would be cool, and you know it.

Well, I don't really want to, but I can see why you would want to. I'm straight and I can still see why someone would think he was sexy

I'm more for his bubbly sister Death LOL Just a thought. Man I'm a geek :lol:

The only comics I regularly collect are the wonderful Bone by Jeff Smith and Knights of the Dinner Table and the occasional oddball title here and there. But if Troy stocks some anime and manga I might be persuaded to start collecting something new.....

Growf!

I love me some Phil Fogilio......

I have autographed copies of his adaptations of the MythAdventures books. I've always loved his stuff.....

That really sucks! The owner of that shop was a good friend of mine, and he has had a really hard time getting that store to where it was. I even went to court for him since the last owner tried to fuck him out of $$$$ after he bought the place. I hope that he had insh.........
