Comic Books a-go-go
Nov. 1st, 2006 01:23 pmI went to Million Year Picnic today to buy the Showcase Phantom Stranger. While there I was priviledged to deal with an employee talking, annoyingly, to thin air; to him swearing; and then another employee loudly yell about how much he hated a kid one could hear singing in the hall. At that point I put down my intended purchases and walked out. Over to New England Comics where I bought that and a Teen Titans Go! because it has Wonder Girl on the cover, for the boy of course, though the cover with its classic cover may have made me a bit teary eyed. I also bought Seven Soldiers #1, because I just had to find out how it ended.
I've had my problems with Million Year Picnic in the past, but I really hate when geek stores live up to their stereotypes. I hate it even mroe when they prove to be kid unfriendly (I don't care of that employee has had kid problems in the past, loudly announcing it twice to the store is inappropriate). I think its probably time for me to give the plae a major pass when in the future I feel compelled to buy comics.
