Holy Moley We've Missed Everyone! Comics Place is about to open for in-store shopping, in-store buying, in-store hanging-out, in-store whatever! The key word being IN-STORE!!! Are we entirely ready? Well, no, if we were waiting for that it could be another 6 months (In classic Comics Place fashion). As you read this, we've dusted off the keyboards, turned on the lights, counted in the tills, and started up the no-swears playlist for the first time in nearly a year and a half! And it's none to soon, because even though our doors have been closed, comics did not stop coming out....

This week, DC Comics announced that they're leaving Diamond, the main comic book distributor, for greener distribution pastures. We've heard a lot of people worried about how that will change their subscriptions, and wondering what kind of delays to expect for DC books. If you buy your comics at Comics Place, you hopefully won't see a huge change in anything. We will be ordering our DC comics from the new distributors, and other than the usual damaged and missing comics that we deal with behind the scenes every week, we don't expect this change to impact you much.HOW CAN YOU MAKE THIS EASIER FOR...

First thing's first: Effective immediately, we are not offering curbside pickup. If you have an order waiting for you to pick it up, we'll deliver it to you. But please don't come down to get it. We won't be answering our door any more. In other words STAY HOME!

If you want this Wednesday's comics, read on, dear reader.

Diamond's announcement is below. Their perspective seems to us, to be more pragmatic, based on public safety and the protection of our industry as a whole rather than a shuttering of all weekly comics for ever. The main sentence that gives us confidence that comics  are just going on hiatus (and we're all used to that, right Saga?) is below:
