Imagine that! Make your comic store awesome, and people will come and shop there a lot! I love the Isotope.
This thought keeps running through my head.

If you find yourself in SF again, we should go to the Isotope, and you should meet James and talk with him.

They were also offering $1 back issues so I picked up some Harbinger and Bloodshot issues that I was missing. Also got the one dollar debut - bundle pack! :thumb:
Hey, that's my shop. Good people there.

I would love to meet that guy you can tell how awesome he is even just from a photo. Sounds like he runs Isotope very similar to how my LCS owner Cal runs Strange Adventures.

speaking of James last year I asked him on twitter if he wears a suit everywhere he goes, this was his response:

My FCBD experience: Drove 10 minutes to local comic shop, went inside to wait with at least 3 dozen other people for some freebies, and left after 5 minutes of waiting in line due to the smell and over-crowding. :!: I just couldn't take it. But, I am happy to see people still love comics and that FCBD seems to be working. :thumb:
