    Today's teen purchase. Also spotted at Lloydcenter for $15 more so it is believed to be a deal.

    My kid was jonesing for an " outing" a couple weeks ago and I was refusing trips to the mall or Uwajimaya because, well, people. For my kid ( sadly but understandably) shopping = certain endorphin burst. My depressed child was sure the big anime con that had been planned for a year in Seattle was gonna be cancelled and was pretty down in the dumps. It was gonna be a big parent free adventure on a train and in a hotel with friends. Much anticipated. ( and again, understandably but sadly it was indeed cancelled until 2021). This little store has a few outposts, this one is behind Brickyard Tavern in a weird little building with a small parking lot. There is usually broken glass in the parking lot. I advise street parking. It was mostly empty which is good these days for social distancing but bad for their business. They have all kinds of cool and interesting collectible type things: comic books, pop figures, superhero stuff, anime stuff ( the reason we were here),buttons, some costumey stuff, too much stuff. Honestly, it makes my head explode. We looked unsuccessfully for The Walking Dead things for me, because I have been bingewatching that, and do not really have anything else I fangurrl over but did not see anything I craved. Kid found an anime figure for about $25 I think, which for figures is not bad. Reportedly the kid saw it elsewhere for $40 so it was a " deal." I have no idea which anime it is from, I have mostly lost track of them all. It is not my money anymore which I am happy about. There was a definite endorphin burst for the teenager. I saw it happen. It lasted a few hours. I doubt they will stay open right now given current conditions, but if you get a chance, take a look. It is a fun little outing.

    Things from Another World is a really cool store with great merchandise and awesome employees. They sell comic books, graphic novels, assorted pop culture merchandise, toys and collectibles. They are one of the largest comic book retailers in the country with three locations in Oregon and one in LA. If the title you're looking for isn't here, they will order it for you. I received a friendly greeting the moment I walked in the store. I received outstanding customer service from Amelia. She was friendly and knowledgeable. As a customer, I felt very comfortable in the store. There is something of interest for just about everyone here. You are sure to find something you like here at Things from Another World.

    certainly the best comic shop on the west side. I've been there almost every week since 1989!

    Okay, so many of my Yelp readers know what a total beer geek I am. I write about breweries…read moreconstantly in my reviews. But before I even touched craft beer I was and still am a huge nerd for comic books and acrtion figures. Back when I was very young patience was often demanded out of my parents for my brother and me due to their numerous appointments which is a whole other story as to why that was. So comics were good things to pass by the time while in the waiting room. It also got me into reading too or at least partially. Back then our main choices were Marvel or DC comics and there wasn't really much else to pick from. Occasionally Harvey Comics were around. Those are the comics with Casper The Friendly Ghost and Richie Rich but those got tiresome fast. Eventually getting comics became an obsession and a hobby of mine but collecting DC and Marvel titles at the same time got to be too costly so I decided to drop DC and go with Marvel and that's how it was until the end of high school. College then arrived along with the 1990's and the rise of more independent comic companies and so much more variety than the two comic giant companies of Marvel and DC and this is where I got wind of Dark Horse comics and a few other comic companies at this time. Truth be told I stuck with Marvel still mostly during this decade but my internet would occasionally waver for the other comic companies. I didn't get too interested in Dark Horse Comics until I discovered Hellboy but even then the interest didn't quite solidify but it was getting there. That all changed when I took on the reading project of wanting to read as much of the old Star Wars canon as I could. Marvel had a Star Wars title in the 80's but that license expired and went to Dark Horse. Here the old Marvel stories were reprinted again but in addition a whole bunch of new stories for all of the eras that made up of the old Star Wars canon. It was here where I seriously got hooked on Dark Horse and discovered by reading so many of their Star Wars comics their corporate offices were in the Portland area. So I would need to swing by next time I'm in Portland! But getting back to the Star Wars comics, like any comic series some titles and stories are better than others but a few stories I really enjoyed were their Quinlan Vos storylines, Tales of the Jedi, Dawn of the Jedi era comics and the Dark Empire storylines but I enjoyed many more than that as well. It was when I discovered where the corporate offices were that the pandemic was raising it's mighty head and paying a visit to Portland just didn't seem like a good idea for a while. But finally last February I finally was able to go to Portland and feel safe doing it and went to the offices. Now the first thing to keep in mind is that as far as I can tell there isn't really a place for visitors to go. There is a few Dark Horse signs outside a few buildings in downtown Milwaukee but it looks like you should only attempt entrance if you have an appointment arranged. I saw no shop that was a part of the offices(unlike Fantagraphics in Seattle for example)however there is a comic shop right next door with plenty of comics to browse at. So keep your expectations low on expecting a tour here. In fact if you go through this area on a weekend the offices look closed up tighter than a drum so definitely keep that in mind . Anyway I'm just grateful to have read all those stories Dark Horse printed and reissued on Star Wars. Since that old canon reading project wrapped up(it took three years to do) it seems like I stumble across Dark Horse more and more in my reading choices and that's a very good situation to be in.

    A month ago I stumbled across an old coupon for some original Alien 3 comic adaptations. This was…read morefrom 1992 and I thought it was funny that there was no expiration date. As I looked further into the coupon, I found the address and store to send it back to with money still existed. Knowing the worst that could happen would be for me to lose $20, I sent in the coupon with my money, thinking it'll at least spark a couple of good laughs in the store. To my surprise, they sent back my coupon, money AND the Aliens Original Comic Series hardcover book!! I'm super thrilled to have received this and hope to actually visit the store some day.
