In a weak economy some stores can't afford to pay rent and sell comics. The stores that own their own space aren't closing.

I like the 2nd print covers of x-men 97 the best. it be selling at my LCS. The Doom book got great reviews, good word of mouth, and it's Hickman writing it with amazing art from Greene, which made it a under ordered book on release. Just get the 2nd print of Hickman and Greenes Doom.
