Ok, a friend of mine is working on opening his own comic store and he's having a little trouble with the name. Anyone got any ideas? They can be comic related, they can be just general names, anything you don't mind him using. He and I would appreciate any input.

It's late but I thought up The Sands of the Universe Comic Bookstore

But if he really wants to sell them, I think Blue Porn Industries works. :D

Well if your friends last name is cool he could go with Lastname Comics, or there is Heroes Haven, The Heroes Haven, Exalted Comics, The Comic Forge.

Those are just a few that come to me right now

Many moons ago, I was going to open my own comic store. I was going to call it Ground Zero Comics. Feel free to use it.

Heh. The comic store here is called Comic Connection.

I really like Sally's suggestion of "Meanwhile..."

I always thought "Arcadia's Gate" was a good name for a store...

Heh. The comic store here is called Comic Connection.

The two (only) comic shops around here are called Fantask and "Pharaoh's Cigar" (after a Tintin comic.)

It's cool, that your friend is thinking about starting a comic shop, I'm thinking about getting a job at one soon'ish (Mainly because I know a lot of great people there and because I desperately need the discount.)

Ah yes. Employee discounts. A very important point to consider when looking for employment. (too bad pet stores don't pay enough for me to live on)

If I ever opened a comic store I'd call it "The Orthodox Geek"

Mostly because that's a nickname I had bestowed open me at one time or another.

Well, comics are written frame by frame, so how about Frames? Or Framed? Also the sign should be cheaper than a bigger name.

Wow, that's a lot of names. I've got most of them written down and I'll try to run most of them by him. Lots of great names. Thank you all.
