Step inside your local comic book shop, but leave the tired old "Comic Book Guy" stereotypes at the door. As we prepare for Baltimore Comic Con, we’re flipping the script to focus on Retailer Green Flags: the welcoming behaviors, inclusive atmospheres, and genuinely helpful customer service traits that modern comic shops are using to make everyone feel at home. In this week’s episode, we’ll talk about how forward-thinking store owners are breaking the gatekeeping mold and proving that the best comic shops are built on passion, community, and expert recommendations.
