One of the largest comic shops in the Northwest (if not, North America) closed its door forever today. Here's a little restrospecive, of why I'll miss it so much:



The Collection Connection had an insanely large back issues room. I couldn't even fith the whole thing in my shot - I didn't have a wide enough lens! Whenever there were back issues I need, I was sure to find it there.



And, they passed my little 'test of a good comic book shop': back issues of the Elementals. They passed the test with a 100% - the entire series, and every spin-off.



They had a section dedicated to all my my favorite writers: Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, and Grant Morrison. How rad is was that?



I'm still holding out hope that I win the lottery soon, so I can go buy everything they have left.

fingers crossed.
