One of the things that we are especially passionate about here at Multiversity is the appeal and importance of a good local comic shop. This is how the majority of us got seriously into comics; we moved from the spinner racks of the local drug store or supermarket to a place that seemingly overflowed with opportunity and the promise of comics both old and new.
On a personal note, I owe a large deal of my current fandom to Zapp Comics in Wayne, NJ. I had stopped buying books monthly for almost 5 years before I stumbled into Zapp one day. The staff was helpful, never pressuring and incredibly nice. In part, due to their willingness to help steer me back into the dangerous waters of monthly buying, I got so enveloped in comics that I began writing for Multiversity. If I never found Zapp, I doubt I would ever have found Multiversity.
It is for that reason that we are going to be having a limited partnership with Zapp, to present content and events across both their store and our site. We will be announcing some signings and events at their Wayne location over the course of the summer, and every week we will be posting their new releases-discussing show, “Zapp Talk,” on our site every week. If you ever find yourself near Wayne or Manalapan, NJ, stop into one of their stores, and tell them Multiversity sent you!
