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

Dot Comics

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.)

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.
