Ever since moving to Kalamazoo I ve been on the lookout for an awesome store to nerd out in. We have a few shops in the area that have some cool stuff, but there s a particular kind of store we had on the east side of the state that I ve been searching for, and I ve finally found it. Rocket Comics at
4235 Portage Street in Kalamazoo has exactly the feel I was looking for, but not just me. Rocket has a steady flow of customers daily, mostly in part to the fact that this POC family owned business thrives on forming a relationship with the customers.
