About Brainstorm Comics:


Since the day we opened on October 1st, 2003, we have done everything we can to break the mold of the traditional comic shop and DVD rental store. Brainstorm Movies, Comics and Gaming is a GEEK SAFE ZONE! By that I mean you can come in and you don't have to feel like anyone is looking at you weird. Those of you who have been with us can vouch for that...those of you who don't know us yet, come into the store and see for yourself. If you're a comic geek and you want to debate the long term effects of the latest comic event...great! If you're a film buff and you want to talk about the best of the 60's horror exploitation films, classic foreign films, the best zombie flick or which is better, Doctor Who or Battlestar Galactica...awesome! If you're a gamer and you get off on Magic the Gathering or Settlers of Catan or just getting another 20 sided dice
