Stings 'cause I just recommended this to several unaware GA folks at a zine/comics event last week...huge loss for the southeast US, hoping I make it there for the first time at the end of the month.
Evan Dorkin@evandorkin.bsky.social · 2mo agoR.I.P. Bizarro-Wuxtry, the great indy-supporting comic shop in Athens, GA. I have fond memories of my early signing there and hanging out with manager Devlin Thompson and folks afterward. A loss to the industry and the Athens community. A vital LCS, sad to see it go.

Finally got the entire remaining inventory up on the website, about 250 extra items from the store (still in limbo on possible physical relocation). Also added a few copies of the the new EX Mag, Vol. 6.
Online store is getting semi-respectable, close to 60 listings. A lot of one-offs, but got all the kuš and most of the Glacier Bay things up. Pretty random since it's just whatever is in whichever box I'm going through from moving all the inventory.
Posting leftover store inventory slowly on the website, almost all this will be cheaper than retail, some greater than others.
Our run in East Nashville ended after 7.5 years at The Groove...thanks to them as always for being our home and good luck on their future move! Not sure what the future holds. Website is still up, and planning on putting the inventory I have there, a lot of it cheap, to go with the distro items.
our first GRAVITY LOOP Year One paperback order for a store goes out today. go to Wakeup Comics if you wake up in Nashville, Tennessee. @wakeupcomics.bsky.social
