One small table of new books- and only the big titles form Marvel \u0026amp; DC.\u0026nbsp; It was sad.\u0026nbsp; -It went under about a year after that, but not before changing locations to just up the street a bit.\u0026nbsp; \u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThen, one time after that (years later)- I was out at The Mall in that area, which I did not frequent, and there was a comic shop in there- called 'Jim's Comics' or some shit. So, I went in to look around and the books all had price-tags that were from Reality Recess and Thee Keep on them still.\u0026nbsp; It looked like they had rented the spot and just threw a bunch of leftover stock in there at 30% off the price listed, trying to get rid of it and make a quick buck.
