I had been trying to order a variant cover for a comic I saw on Tumblr for about two weeks. The computer was down for the second week but they told me to come and try again the following week. So, I just mozy on over with my sister in the car to make a quick order the following week.... just to see CLOSING all over the windows. 

Not gonna lie I kept wondering i it was my fault...did I not buy enough comics due to the inflation everwhere else?! was that why I hadn’t see as many new issues on display!

The owner told me he got a really good offer from Delta for a job he couldn’t bring himself to refuse(whether is the airline or the bank i didn’t ask) and that he was closing this chapter of his life.

Something understandable and I’m happy for the guy but damn it I wasn’t prepared for this loss! It was  a good distance from where i live! not too close but not too far. I knew how to get to it without GPS!

and it wasn’t large enough to be overwhelming. The big stores are nice but I could browse the entire store fairly quickly.

(If i go to a place thats too large with too many things I feel like the little brother of the Witch from Terry Pratchett who loves candy but when been given too much candy or brought into a candy store is overwhelmed and distressed at the possibility. because part of the bro senses that no matter how much he tries he might not be able to eat all the candy and is overwhelmed on where to start....frozen not being able to eat the candy at all in the existential horror of the situation). 

I also did not prepare for a sale of liquidation of those comics? do I go in and get as much as I can? or pace myself since I never planned the need to get so many comics so DON’T give into the sale bug 

Damn it I don’t want to go to Dave’s Comics! its close enough to be a option to consider by definitely far away enough to be a actual inconvenience! and its large! I got lost in there once!

The first edition’s comic store will always be in my heart...and now forever in my memories.
