Comic Book World — Local services in Louisville

I stopped into this place while on a family vacation last week. One of the things that I do when I'm in a new city is check out the local comic shops and see if there is anything I can find that I've been looking for.

This shop is decent overall. It has a good selection of current comics as well as some trades. They have a small back issue selection.

And with the rewards punch cards, it's easy to find yourself with some extra scratch to go on a little spree from time to time. I'll say it again: I...

Very spacious and clean store. Friendly staff and a huge selection of comics and game. They are also willing to host events for a variety of games, which is always great.

Room for improvement-If you hope to build a bigger gaming community, may want to increase the space and organization of the gaming table area, as well as invest in some nicer chairs. Most products are MSRP, which is pricey for a lot of people. Many customers will have a hard time justifying those prices when they know they can go online and get the same products for cheaper. If you cannot lower overall prices, look into doing regular sales and coupons. You do a good job with social media, so perhaps utilizing that to market those sales and...
