Shop Closings:

A number of shops have recently closed. AJ's Comics in CT, USA, The Comic Shop in Crawley UK, and Bazbo Comics in Truro UK are some of the latest casualties. We've also heard from Comics n Pop in Australia that they will no longer be carrying new releases. Creamer and Cache in Huntsville AL have also decided they will no longer be carrying new comics releases.
