Welcome To AK Comics
Hi, my name is David, and I own AK Comics. The "AK" stands for my kids first names, and yes, it does annoy them when friends at school as them about their "dad's store". :) I started my store because I'm a huge comics and toy geek. They say you should try to sell what you know, and I know comics. No, I'm not the type of person who has encyclopedic knowledge in my head on the history of comics. But I do know a couple things.
Come in, have a chat, discuss what you're reading. I read ALOT of books, so I might know what you're talking about. Of course, if I don't know, I blame old age and cannot be held responsible. :)
I also see a ton of movies. Not only comic book related ones, so maybe we can chat about that. Don't worry, I'm not shy about my opinion. ;) Speaking of movies, The Hangover was the best comedy I've seen in years.
Star Trek was great also, I think they've successfully reinvigorated the franchise.
Transformers, great special effects, I liked the movie, but please Megan Fox, stop giving interviews.:)
Oh, and if anyone can explain to me how Marvel can make so many movies (not all great of course...Punisher War Zone sucked so bad) and D.C., which is owned by a MOVIE COMPANY (Warners Brothers) can barely get ONE movie out a year, please let me know.
And I'm talking live action, not animated, they're usually 2 different divisions in a company.
At AK Comics, I carry a wide selection of new & old comics, from DC, Marvel, Image, IDW, Top Cow, Devil's Due, Aspen & many others. I
have a minimum of 15 boxes of quarter comics at any time, and lots of back issues from the last few years. I
buy comic collections from the 1970's & earlier, but any collection will be looked at.
All new comics & books are 10% off. I have a subscription service available. All
subscribers get 15% off their books. There is no service fee for ordering out of stock items that are still available.
Everybody always gets a free comic book.
Role Playing
I have a limited number of D&D and other gaming books on hand. Most
books that are not in-store can be ordered and usually received within a week (sometimes within 2 days), if
they are in stock at my distributor. These are also 10% off.
Collectibles
I have a large selection of carded Super-hero Action figures, Star Wars figures & vehicles from the early 90's to Now. I
carry Hotwheels, Treasure Hunts, and a small selection of beanie babies.
Yu-Gi-Oh
I hold a casual Yu-Gi-Oh tournament every Sunday at noon. My Yu-Gi-Oh packs are $3.50 ($.50 cheaper than large retail stores). I have a selection of single cards available.
Magic: The Gathering
Every Saturday, I hold a sanctioned Magic tournament at noon. Noon
tournaments are Type 2, with a $4 entry fee. Draft set is $10 even. 
Pre-order a new box of Magic card releases at great savings. Normal pricing for Magic packs is $3.50 EA. $11 for tournament packs. Many
single Magic cards are available for sale.
