Most of the comic book stores in my area have closed, victims of Michigan's stagnate economy. I'm looking for a reliable on-line store to purchase comics and graphic novels. Any recommendations?

I buy all my new comics from Midtown Comics. They have a huge selection of new comics and a decent amount of back issues plus their subscription service is great. They're the best I've found.

I'm currently giving DriveThruComics.com a test drive. What I like about this site is the ability to try so many new comics so cheaply, since I'm reading them electronically.

Borders, Barnes & Noble.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was ordering a lot from B&N.com, but the last few shipments I received, the books were just thrown into the boxes, and they arrived with bent covers.

Has anyone used mailordercomics.com? Any good?

Amazon. I buy the trade paperbacks, since I don't feel the need to know what's going on right away, and I prefer them as a series, instead of individual comics.

We have two local comic stores (denton, tx) that are good for new issues, a few back issues, and a smattering of graphic novels--american ones at least.

We don't have any good outlet for manga. We've got a barnes & nobles, but it's small and bad at having good selection or keeping things in stock.

Graham Cracker Comics on Clark street in Chicago. Great place. Good people.

In southern Illinois I went to a dump called Campus Comics. It's the only comic book shop in an hour radius or so. Horrible place. Owners were mean and rude. The often didn't get shipments on wednesday and wouldn't bother to alert you about it... which sucked because it took around 25 minutes to drive there from my house.

I get my comics and trades at www.heroescorner.com

Hope this helps someone, I know the blog is a little old.

Galaxy Comics.

Luckily, there's three shops within a couple blocks of my house.

Border's and Barnes&Noble if I need to. Would love to start finding reliable online places. I'll have to dive deeper into that.

If you're looking for deep savings, Heroes Corner is passing out a 15% coupon code on all December orders. When you consider their monthly floppies are already marked off 35%-75%, saving an additional 15% is awesome!

Plus free shipping if you spend more than $50 bucks, and some other free stuff.

I saved almost $40 dollars over retail this month.

Oh, I almost forgot, the December coupon code is DEC0715.

Good luck!

I go to The Comics Club in Brandon, FL. They do have a mail order service. Great people. Check 'em out at www.comicsclub.com.

Since I originally posted this question, I have been ordering from MailOrderComics.com and RightStuf International. Both have been great. Deepdiscount.com is good for picking up stray titles that I missed. I almost never go to the bookstore anymore, because it's over a 20 minute drive from my house, and they never have what I'm looking for, anyway. I do miss spending Sunday mornings sipping coffee and browsing the aisles, though.
