Sad but true, my favourite comic book store in town, Elfsar, (who I first blogged about almost 2 years ago) is closing tomorrow. As you can read in the blog post, their rent got hiked over 250%, and that was that. They've got a big sale on, so if you're in town this weekend, show your support, get some cheap books, and bid your farewells.

After losing Duthie Books a few months ago, and hearing news of Sophia Books closing at the end of the month for the very same reason as Elfsar (more info on Cory Doctorow's blog), this comes as a huge blow to comic and book lovers alike. Duthie and Elfsar were my absolute favourites (and Sophia a place I'd poke around now and then because it's close to where I work), and I now find myself asking where I'm supposed to go for trusted stocks of interesting and hand curated books, comics, and graphic novels?
