comics mart closes

It is a sign of changing time. Comics Mart closes, at least so call officially. In a sense, the loyal fans and customers probably sensed something was wrong when it closes some time last month. Now that the closure is in the papers, it is official. Contacts to the owners are not successful in anyway. Even their listed apartment seems to be closed or being "seized by bank". So what is Comics Mart? It is a comic shop that been around since the 90s. It was reported by some as open since 80s but I only visited it in the 90s. I got my comics from there regularly. Only stopped getting them since last year as I find that the comics are not much to my taste. You could go there and browse come of the comics. It is good as you could read on some other titles that looks interesting but not in your list of to buy comics. Even though they have sub branches in Orchard and Raffles City I don't go there. I only visit the Serene Centre main shop. So how did it ended up this way? Comics nowadays just seems to be not so exclusive as before. Lousy artwork, lame plots are part of what contribute to the decline. And you could download from the net if you know how. There used to have other good comic shops but they didn't make it years ago. Then Comics Mart started to shrink the shop space, put a big portion of the shop into selling magazines and you can't browse some older comics anymore. So hopefully it will come back it an updated fashion. Or someone new took over the name and bring it back. If it does happen, it isn't the old shop anymore. The name, right now remains to be seen if coming back will happen. For the news, read the 18th May 2010 Straits Times Life.
