Earth Prime Comics — Local services in Burlington

This was once my go to place for comics, but changes in management, staffing and stocking turned me off and I decided to go to Plattsburgh for a while. Then another more local place opened so I stopped going to Plattsburgh. Now, my go to place doesn't always carry everything so I shop between there and Earth Prime. Now I will admit that it has changed. Staffing for one is better and they are better on stocking and much more friendlier than when I had left them a few years ago. I'm still unclear on how stocking on Wednesdays is a early to mid afternoon thing where most comic stores will have new releases on the shelf at opening. This leads to my constant frustration, but what Store A doesn't have I can rely on Earth Prime mostly to have. The only thing is that I have to start my day of comic shopping later than I would like. But go e are the days of Wednesday stocking at 4-5pm though, so I suppose that is a win.

Back to the store. I'm currently on a hunt for back issues with covers including Galactus or Doom. I found a nice copy of Fantastic Four 243 for my collection (gotta love a great Byrne cover, right?), as well as a couple of others that I plan to have slabbed.

Overall, they have a wide selection of new and back issues, as well as a very friendly staff. I hope to one day visit again and tick a few more off...

Awesome store. Super helpful, friendly, and chill staff. Very knowledgeable and willing to try and help track down and special order harder to find items. I've only ever encountered complete courtesy here. Of course the inventory can be a bit small as the comics and print industry is flagging in general and seeing how we are in Vermont, we're lucky to even have a comic store in such a prime location. All I can say to the lower star reviews here is that I would not be surprised that they are written by people who find life in general to be filled with much...
