Comic Books -or- How Nerds Spend Their Money

I discovered a comic book store on the Hill (23rd and College Street, Cedar Falls, IA) the other day and decided to visit it when it was open. Well, that day was today and let me tell you--it was awesome. The store is called "Limited Edition Comics and Collectibles" and is operated by a fellow named Rob. The shop (actually, the shop is the adorning room of Rob's other place of business, a hair salon) is really pretty slick. He has a ton of comics (DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, etc) as well as Star Trek and Star Wars collectibles for sale. The best part is that his collectibles are priced to move. For example, a .45 scale Master Replica Lightsaber marked 10 bucks off the retail price. Pretty sweet deals to be found. I personally went in search of Star Wars: Legacy comics. Awesome find (more on Legacy to come).

So, if anyone in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo area wants a cool little comic book shop made a collector, for collectors, head over to Limited Edition (225 College Street).
