comicbooks:

At dinner I was telling my friend that I need some new comics but I don’t wanna wait/pay for shipping online like I normally do.  I told him there are only three scenarios when I go into comic book stores:

1.  Staring, no talking.  Lots of staring.  Lots.  Stop it.  No, stop it.

2.  Talking down to me because I have boobs, therefore, I know nothing about comics.

3.  Hitting on me.

My friend emailed me this when I got home. HA!  Too true!

A damn shame, a modern LCS should know better. Hate to brag, but I will: I love my comic book shop. They will chat with ya just because you want some funnybooks, not because of gender (I mean, what is this, pre-Crisis?!), they’ll help you out with anything, and if you return, they’ll make a pull list for you.

Going to a comic books store should be a friendly, cool experience. It should never feel awkward, or weird. I guess some fans just need to change with the times; like excepting that Wally West is Flash, Kyle Rayner is Green Lantern, and Connor Hawke is Green Arr…. er, n/m.

As a comic book geek with non-artificial boobs that dresses up mostly in prissy, pretty things, I’ll say that I personally love my comic book store (link on there too for you folks in Hampton Roads. I’ll be there this saturday!). :3 The owner is reeeeally nice and helpful. I don’t have a subscription with them or anything, but he pulls aside the stuff I want for me.

Then again, I’ve never actually seen the store full before. o_o Regardless, the store is awesome. 8D
