On the first leg of the Geek To Me Comic Shop Tour, I stopped off to visit with the fine folks of Challengers Comics and Conversation. Now these cool cats are holding a special Valentine's Day event with local comic book creator Art Baltazar. (Click on image below for details.)
(If you've never read Tiny Titans, its a wonderful book for fans of all ages. It's a great title to turn younger readers on to, but also has plenty of fun stuff for older readers as well.)
And just so you know, not only are the guys and gals at Challengers C & C a real treat to hang out with, Art is a real hoot too! So, if you're a fanboy who really wants to impress your fangirl-friend, this is the thing to take her to. And if you go, tell 'em you heard about it on Geek To Me!
Here's the video from my first visit to Challengers:

While at Challengers Comics and Conversation on the Geek To Me Comic Shop Tour (see
previous entry), I spoke with a couple fangirls who frequent the shop to get their fave books to recommend. What they picked really came as no surprise, but they were still good picks.
Be on the lookout for Chris Neseman of
Around Comics to horn in on the conversation (he invited me to participate in one of his podcasts coming up) and for me to flub the origin of Frank Quietley's 'psuedo-name.' (It's actually a play on 'quite frankly' so I hear, not 'frankly quiet' or whatever dumb thing I said. The hotness of the fangirls had me all flustered.)
As always, I look forward to your comments and if you have a shop you'd like for me to check out,
drop me a line!

This inaugural edition of the G2M Comic Shop Tour features the good folks of Challengers Comics and Conversations.
This neat comic shop was hosting a signing by comic superstar James Robinson, and even with all the hubub going on in his shop, co-owner Patrick Brower took some time to talk to me and give me the skinny on why he decided to open a new comic shop and what makes it unique.
You can learn all about Challengers Comics and Conversation by visiting their website.
