Comic book movies are all the buzz, especially with Avengers: Endgame coming out and setting all kinds of box office records. Now, comic books have always been popular, but with Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the rest of the bunch so much in the pop culture forefront the last 15 years, comic books are reaching an entire new audience. If you’re looking for some new comics, interested in getting back into the game, or reading something you haven’t ready before, you could try A-1 Comics in Roseville, CA.
