There was plenty of Google maps surfing involved in order to decide which LCS I should hit up before leaving Kansas City. B-Bop was actually my third choice but since the first two didn't pan out for various reasons, that's where I went.
And it wasn't a bad decision.
This is a pretty nice little shop. Everything is neatly organized into sections along the walls and some islands of long boxes in the middle with back issues. What surprised me most though was the varied prices on books. There was something in everyone's price range here. Some popular trades were marked half-off and there were some 50c bins to dig through.
The staff was very helpful without being in your face. Just the way I like it! (If you know what I mean....)
I spent about 20 minutes there mucking around, sifting through a little of everything. There were some figurines to look at as well but it was clearly not the focus of the shop.
I definitely liked how the comics were organized to accommodate different customer groups, in the sense of one shelf being adult, another straight up superheroes, all ages, recommended etc etc. Confusing at first but I quickly realized this is a much better way to cater to the inexperienced comic reader. Me likes.
The location also gets a +1, as at a glance the neighborhood was cozy and parking was easy to find.
I have no problems recommending B-Bop comics really. Check it out if you're in Kansas City, MO/KS/everyotherstateintheUS.
