How do you like your comic book store? If you're after a mass market-friendly geek Mecca, then clearly the Silver Snail is your destination; the grown-ups and hardcores probably prefer to play at The Beguiling. But if you can't quite shake the Simpsons-inspired view that a comic book store should be a dingy hole in the wall (or ground) that puts comics - and the endless fanboy debates about Civil War, Infinite Crisis, and whatever else - front and centre, then you'd better get yourself to 3rd Quadrant.
Tastefully located under McCaul street in a full-to-bursting basement space accessible via a Wolverine-painted door just north of Queen, 3Q is having its "Second Annual November Sale" today. They're the first to admit that the name of the sale isn't particularly flashy.
But with 50% off backissues and toys, and 30-50% off wall books, it's today's one-stop destination for all your Christmas shopping... if you're like me and know a whole lot of Ringers, Starwoids, Trekkies, and X-fans.
Sale's on till 7:00 tonight at 3rd Quadrant, located at 226 Queen Street West (enter off McCaul).

Always a pleasure, Daryl, and I hope the sale goes well for you today.

Well had it not been for BlogTo, I'd've missed out on some serious deals, which I cannot speak of, for fear that a certain few people might get their christmas presents spoiled. Figured it'd be nice to let 3Q know of the free press. Thanks for the extra tickets to Turistas btw, Darryl, and I'll be sure to come back.
And ya, I'm pretty broke now (sales always makes me spend more than I actually have. Visa always has my back, though), so maybe I'l be back in the not so near future...

I nagged my boyfriend to go and get me comics there since I was supposed to work. He got me some Howard the Duck stuff, and some other stuff which was very cheap. :D
Thank gods for comic book sales.

HOLIO BATMAN!!! I had a customer come into my store today and tell me that he 'heard' about the sale at blogto. Imagine my surprise!
I just wanted to say thanks so much for keeping an eye out for the 'little' guy. He spent almost $100 in my store.
