They are in the shopping plaza with Dunham's and the Secretary of State.<BR/><BR/>Since I'm mostly a front-of-the-book buyer, I've been shopping at Stadium for the last couple of years, but you are correct that their Indie selection is almost non-existent (and this recently caused them to miss ordering Hero Squared for me, since it moved from Atomika to Boom Press and I dounbt they even read back to the Bs.....).<BR/><BR/>I managed to snatch a few goodies from the going-out-of-business sale, mostly silver age and recent DC stuff. I also picked up these graphic novels:<BR/>Justice League of America Archives #3<BR/>The Griffen (reprinted collection in black and white)<BR/>Superman: Infinite City (which had just come out)<BR/><BR/>I'm certainly going to miss Underworld, particularly since I am also a gamer and they are the one shop with a good mix of comics and games....and they stocked the best selection of RPG books around. I had stopped going there regularly because I liked to pick up my comics on lunch and driving downtown on my lunch hour is a little tough. (I work off of Ellsworth.) I found it easier to get to Stadium and while they have a limited selection, they give a 20% discount and have a good staff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963510.post-1120245160410277562005-07-01T15:12:00.000-04:002005-07-01T15:12:00.000-04:00Things I picked up in trades that I already have o...Things I picked up in trades that I already have or have read in floppies:<BR/><BR/><I>Amelia Rules: The Whole World's Crazy</I><BR/><I>Amy Racecar Vol. Uno</I><BR/><I>Colonia: Islands and Anomalies</I><BR/><I>Evenfall vol. 1</I><BR/><I>Little White Mouse vol. 2</I><BR/><I>Shades of Blue vol. 1</I><BR/><I>StormWatch: Change or Die</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>Other things I picked up that I haven't read before:<BR/><BR/><I>The ABC's of Superpowers</I><BR/><I>Comics Library International vol. 9</I><BR/><I>Family Matter</I><BR/><I>Go Boy 7</I><BR/><I>Go Girl</I><BR/><I>Grendel Tales: Devils and Deaths</I><BR/><I>Jason and the Argobots vol. 2</I><BR/><I>Jay's Days vols. 1 & 2</I><BR/><I>Jennifer Daydreamer</I><BR/><I>Last Train to Deadsville</I><BR/><I>Lone</I><BR/><I>Mutant, Texas</I><BR/><I>Remains</I><BR/><I>Seamonsters and Superheroes</I><BR/><I>Sky Ape</I><BR/><I>Stylish Vittles book 2</I><BR/><I>SweaterWeather</I><BR/><I>A Very Sammy Day</I><BR/><I>Wally Wood's M.A.R.S.
