DISCUSSIONS FROM THE LONGTABLE - FINAL EDITION!!

This is it, kids, the FINAL edition of our monthly meeting of all things comics! While it's been our absolute pleasure to provide a place where the wonderful nerds of Seattle can come together and eat candy and talk comics, the time has come to close our doors and move on. Sad times are upon us, but we can lose ourselves in a sugar frenzy of unparalleled levels and rant and rave and, well...just sit in the comic store and appreciate the glorious smell of comics. Man, we're gonna miss these. So please please bring a friend and come visit us for one last time around the longtable. Much love to those who've come month in and month out, you are why we continued to host these things in the first place!

COMICS SHOULD SMELL GOOD!! ep. #404!

Casey is back and immediately starts to crap on his co-stars performance from last week. Hit play to watch Will and Morgan kick the crap out of Casey because they've had enough of his sh*t. F'ing primadonna. After that, we talk about comics.

Also, the dreaded "Closing Sale" has begun...but have no fear, you've still got TWO months to come in and give these comics a home!

-50% off Statues
-25% off T-shirts
-25% off Toys (includes vintage toys)

THE END TIMES ARE HERE!

Now that the news is out, we can all be miserable together and lament the loss of the best comic book store in Seattle--ZANADU COMICS! Thank you all so much for sharing your kind words, strange stories and happy memories about this 42 year institution--it certainly brought tears to our eyes.

Our final day is January 28th, 2018, so that's about two months left, and it is officially time to start the dreaded "Closing Sale." Sounds ominous, I know, but the good news is, we are discounting the entire store at various tiers which means YOU can save some money and provide a good home for these lonely comic books. Do a little holiday shopping for yourself or loved ones and support the great Zanadu one (or two, or three or...) more time(s).
