New Comic Shop Visit: Top Cut Comics
For Free Comic Book Day this year, I was able to hit up two comic shops, which you can read more about [INSERT FCBD RECAP HERE]. The second of which was Top Cut Comics in Loves Park, IL. Being that it was my first time there, it’s now been added to my Comic Shop Tour. And as I’ll touch on shortly: it was well worth the trip.
Top Cut Comics in Loves Park, IL.
Top Cut Comics has plenty to offer. They carry a wide selection of new and recently released single issues, collected editions and manga. Their back issue selection was sizable and stretched back decades. They had more expensive books in their front case and back wall, as well as a set of comics lining the wall of their back issue room.
Other collectibles and items included action figures, model kits and more. There was a section for people playing card and tabletop games. It isn’t enough to just have product and the space to house it, it has to be organized. Top Cut had that covered as well as being clean and well lit.
Since it was FCBD, they had sales all around the store. Besides just visiting a new shop, that was my motivation for going. And I certainly took advantage. Here’s a look at some of the books I picked up along with the video of the full haul.
