News — COVID-19

Cripes, this pandemic is making things weird, isn't it? Talk about darkest timeline! Or, at least a medium dark timeline. Hopefully we'll get our flying cars before the robots turn us all into batteries, right? Anyway, here are our current COVID-19 protocols. Thank you in advance for helping to protect the kids who shop at our store as well as our staff and their families. If you can't wear a mask, just place an order over the phone or on our website and then pull up in our loading zone and call the shop during our business hours. We'll run your order out to you!...

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....

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:
