It's not CJ Comics?

I called the store the other day and they answered by saying "Comics". I think things are changing but I don't know what. Need to investigate further on this matter.

How the hell is this store still alive?

Where are the Employees?

I stopped by Wednesday to get new comics and to my surprise, the Asian dude and the Mexican kid wasn't there, it was some girl. Not only that but they did not have new comics and the girl told me she didn't know when (if ever)they would come in.

WTF?!?!?!

How the hell do you have a comic book store and not have new comics? What the hell kind of business is this?

Captain Fraud Does It Again

Boy, have I missed a lot. I go away, get caught up with work and a hell of a lot of things have changed.

I recently visited the so called comic book store and discover that it had shrunk. Next door is some wrestling school called CJA or something, does anyone know if he owns that too? I don't know if I want this guy teaching my kids or anyone's kids how to wrestle if he does own it.

here's a link to a picture of him: http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20091116/BUSINESS/91116032/Comic-book-love-turns-hobby-into-business

Just look at him, all swarmy looking, so shady. He just oozes something scummy, like the crap under an old refrigerator. Does anyone really want this guy lurking around children buying comic books let alone teens and adults?

hilarious quotes:

"As a child, I dreamed of owning my own comic book store,"

"I had a garage filled with books. I've always enjoyed reading them. There's a story line and it continues every week."

"You can get a comic book for next to nothing..." "It's an inexpensive hobby, which makes it a recession-proof business.''

Discount Toys For Sale, Comes With Free Mold

Went to the store yesterday and saw a discount toy shelf. I swear to god, I think I started getting nauseous when I stood in the discount area. I think those toys CJ Comics has on display right have some sort of mold on them. They look like they took them out of the dumpster. Someone should call the health department on them.

The Return of the Back Issues and Magic Cards?

Did you see the sign on the door? No, it wasn't the "Going Out of Business" sign we were all hoping for. The sign said "WE HAVE MAGIC CARDS" What does that mean exactly? I didn't realize Magic Cards were in such high demand these days from comic stores that you needed a sign to advertise that you had them in stock. Anyway, CJ Comics has Magic Cards in stock now... or do they?

Do you remember that bookshelf filled with binders that comprised of Magic Cards? Sleeves and sleeves filled with magic cards, and that's just what they have. Oh, and they also have a basket filled with magic cards which looks like to be a pile commons and lands. This is their Magic Card stock. This is what that nice little sign is so proudly telling customers, they have Magic Cards.

Magic Cards wasn't the only new edition, there were back issue boxes in the back. What threw me off was that a lot of them were boarded and bagged unlike MC which had them in bags only. Finally, the back issues that we were promised from Captain Jackass. Funny thing though, as I looked through the boxes I started to see a pattern. They weren't really back issues. Many of the books were books from 6 months ago, sometimes even less. But the funniest thing about the back issues was this, they looked like the same books from MC's back issue supply. I even think some of those books were books that I've sold to MC, in fact I'm sure of it.

That's about it, nothing really new and exciting than that. Place still looks like a dump, their toy selection is worse than sub par, it's like looking it a child's toy box of toys bought at the gas station or local drugstore.

hmmm, I wonder if they'll buy my Malibu an 90s Liefeld Image books. I'll tell them they're from the Silver Age.

A Green What?

-Someone was asked by the blonde leatherfaced lady, "Who's your favorite Green Avenger?"
Seriously, you can't make this shit up.

-Also, did anyone notice that they have a sale, THE SAME SALE, almost every week?

-They still can't get their orders straight. Anyone else notice two major books missing from last week? I'll give you a hint, one has the word GREEN in the title and the other is currently an AVENGER... and no, it's not the awesome book Green Avengers

"What's it to you who owns a comic book store or how they run it?"

MC Comics could have been saved but the Capt in his infinite wisdom decided to take over out of greed. The story goes that the original owner was going to take over. The guy that took the store from a little shack to the almost half a million business that it became. That's "what it is" to me.
I want CJ COmics to fail. I want others to know that Capt's full of shit and lies. We lost a very good store and now we're left with a half-assed store run by people that are only in it for the money and nothing more.
