Will this list include comic shops on Vancouver Island, and outside Greater Vancouver? Would love to know if there's more comic shops in BC.

Did the massive comic book tour today, and just a general warning, Gem Mint Collectables has been replaced witha florist (yet remains on the mall's bloody directory).

Is Pow Comics no longer in business?
Their Website has been down for close to a year now and there has been no "Hartley Show" for quite awhile as well. :(

I don't know.
When I take transit today I'll try and swing by 5395 Victoria and see what is there.

I didn't know Hartley Show existed, glad to see it is on YouTube.
