Heroes Landing Comic Book Shop
Heroes Landing is a one of a kind comic book store for the whole
family located in Clermont, at 12348 Roper Blvd. in the Kohls shopping
center, or on-line where you can follow them on Facebook, Twitter,
and Myspace through their website at www.heroeslanding.com.
Going beyond comics, Heroes Landing is more of a comic book/pop
culture store. They have all the latest comics, graphic novels,
games, statues, and apparel. What sets them apart is a strong desire
to satisfy every member of the family not often found in your typical
comic book store. Additionally, they are the exclusive carrier of
Uglydolls in the area. It very well might be the only comic book
store with a lounge area complete with a full sized couch and chair!
The owners, Stuart Cohen and Todd Merrick, have been best friends
since meeting at college 20 years ago. They want their customers
to feel comfortable and welcome every time they walk through the
doors.
These heroes offer free subscription services so that when your
favorite titles arrive each week they will pull it off the shelves
and keep it for you until you arrive to pick them up, thus ensuring
you never miss out. They are members of the South Lake County Chamber
of Commerce, Support the Hero Initiative and the Comic Book Legal
Defense Fund, but what they are most proud of is offering 10% off
to Military members every day. They will ship any books to any service
member anywhere in the world free of charge. Currently, several
comic titles are on sale at 20% off and will be sent to the troops
in time for the holidays.
The days when the so-called geeks had to be ashamed of buying
comics are long gone. With the help of outstanding story lines,
soaring sales, and one blockbuster movie after another comics are
at their highest level of popularity ever. There are roughly 15
comic books being made into movies in the next 4 years alone! Hollywood
would not be making them and the biggest stars on the planet would
not be vying to star in them if it was a passing phase.
With the rest of society finally catching up to what us Fanboys
have known all along, it is the perfect mix for a successful business.
So stop in, grab a book, have a seat on the couch and tell us what
you think. Youre never too old to feel like a kid again!
Several events are planned in the coming weeks including live podcast
broadcasting, Pokemon tournaments, in-store gaming, geek singles
night, and much more. For more details, stop in, visit them online,
or call them at 352-242-XMEN (9636).
