One of the largest independent comic book shops in the Northwest (of not, North America) closed down today. Here's a little retrospective of why I'll miss it:



The Collection Connection instantly became one of my favorite shops around because of the insanely huge back issue section. I don't have a lens wide enough to show the full room - it was that large.



The shop quickly won my heart when it passed my little test: back issues of the Elementals. They had the entire series and every spin-off.



And, there was a little section for all my favorites: Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, and Alan Moore. How rad is was that?



*sigh*
Now there's one less comic shop for me to beg my reporters to let me go in. I'm still hoping that I win the lottery and go buy everything they have left.

fingers crossed.
