Brave New Worlds Comics
Recently I was walking down Second Street when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the bat signal. Like Bruce Wayne, my adrenaline rushed. It was time to take action! It was time to get very, very nerdy. So I opened the big wooden doors and walked into Brave New Worlds, one of the swankiest comic book stores I've ever seen. It was like a secret headquarters, cleverly hidden among the galleries and clubs of Old City. Now, I buy comic books pretty sporadically these days, but I'll tell you, that store filled me with giddy comic-buying glee. Five minutes after walking in, I found myself walking out in happy daze, holding issues of Astonishing X-Men and DMZ. And considering that the store is only a block away from the El, I have a feeling I'll be walking out of there in a daze again pretty soon.
