Our quest for local comic book stores continues today as we
make the journey to JC Comics and Cards
in Cuyahoga Falls.
JC Comics is located in a nice little strip at 2609 State
Rd, sandwiched between a Movie Exchange, a used toy store and a used record shop.
Between the three stores there’s enough recycled entertainment items to make
even the most cynical hipster happy.
JC’s has the same general feel as Kenmore and most other
comic book stores have. They have a sizable collection of comics and graphic
novels, including a rather large $0.25 comic crate for the more frugal geeks.
However, while Kenmore excelled in nerdy games, JC’s has an
abundance of toys, stuffed animals and action figures. The entire left wall is
lined with everything from X-men Figurines to Pokemon Plushies.
I wanted that big Squirtle so bad, but alas I am in college (aka poor).
I managed to stop by as they were stocking so the two
employees didn’t have a chance to chat, but even preoccupied, JC was happy to directed
my exactly to what I was trying to find. Without missing a beat he talked me
through to the exact corner, and shelf to get exactly what I wanted.
It was Y - The Last Man Volume 2 if you were wondering.
Overall JC Comics and Games had a nice feel to it and the
employees were definitely helpful and pleasant. They don’t have a website to
search beforehand, but their collection is quite good, so you’ll definitely
find some nice loot there.

Alright, Nerd-Quest completed. I’m off to the Ohio Wizard World Comic Convention. Join me next week to see if I was attacked by cos-players.
Geek Long and Prosper.
