Comic Shop Visit: Comic Fortress

I recently headed down to Somerville, NJ, to pick up a very special guest who will be appearing at Mid-Ohio-Con 2009. Ok, since it's a statue it's not so much a "who" as a "what," but our life-size Iron Man will nonetheless be a fantastic attraction for this year's show. I picked up the statue at Comic Fortress, a comic retailer that specializes in importing statues from Muckle Mannequins in Mannheim, Germany. It turns out that Comic Fortress is a lot more than just a statue importer. Their huge store is a wonder to behold, filled with comics, action figures, toys, clothes, statues, and other goodness as far as the eye can see. Probably needless to say, I ended up leaving the place with a bit more than just a life-size Iron Man statue. Comic Fortress is a true destination store, so make sure to check it out next time you're in New Jersey.
