A bit of free Publicity!

They say that any publicity is good publicity, but I'd say that any good publicity is great publicity!

In the last two weeks, our move has gotten a couple of mentions in the local papers.

The Times & Transcript's sleuth, Rod Allen, wrote a blurb about it.

And now down to business, starting with this bit from our minion on Main Street about an interesting three-way relationship among three popular alt-culture fixtures in dear old downtown Monkeytown.

Shacking up for fun and profit are Spin-It Video - a child of Spin-It Records, which has left its home on Lewis Street for the old Subaru dealership further down the street -- and The Comic Hunter, which used to be on Lutz Street.

And apparently there is no family break-up; Spin-It Records is leaving its home beside Gifts Galore and will soon join them at Subaru's ex-HQ for an alternate lifestyles match made in business heaven.

And while I can't seem to find it right now, if you grab last week's [here], Margaret Ann Campbell wrote a nice little article about The Comic Hunter and Spin It moving in together!

Directions to our new location

Here's a google map to our new place at 465 Main st.

We're currently setting up the signs and whatnot, but we're currently occupying the left 1/4 of the Hollis building. Our parking is on the right side of the building! (It's currently not indicated, but you can park anywhere between our building on the Krystal Blade building... lines coming soon!)

The Comic Hunter Blog is open for business!

Welcome to the first blog post on the first blog for The Comic Hunter.

We're a comic shop located downtown Moncton, NB, having been opened here for what is our fifth year. We also have a store on its twentieth year in Charlottetown, PEI.

On this blog, I'll be mostly handling news and updates, and hopefully product reviews, for the Moncton location. Part of the reason for starting this blog is that we've just moved our store to 465 Main st. and with a new store comes a new website. The PEI has one at http://www.comichunter.net/ which also held our forum, which was used for updates, but now focuses a bit more on our gaming, run by John Butters, local gaming guru!

I then decided to increase our precense on Facebook, but unfortunately, and "surprisingly, not everyone used facebook, and those who can't aren't able to see the Facebook group I'd created.

So here we are! A blog! I'll do my best to keep this updated with store news, and if I find anyone interested, product reviews, and whatever else I think to add!

Come down to The Comic Hunter, where heroes come to play!
