Best of Cleveland 2015: All-time Favorite: Carol and John's Comic Shop

For over 20 year, we've turned to Carol and John's Comic Shop for our Marvel fix.

Then: Long before Marvel came to town to film movies, Carol and John's Comic Shop was the place for us to get our comic book fill of Superman, Batman and Spider-Man. With insider recommendations from co-owner John Dudas and his staff on the hottest new stuff to read such as The Walking Dead graphic novel and Marvel's Civil War series (which will be adapted on screen in 2016's new Captain America movie), we always felt part of the team. Now: With the explosion of comic book movies and TV shows over the last 10 years, Carol and John's has become our very own version of San Diego Comic Con with events such as Free Comic Book Day in May and Halloween Comicfest this month, which includes comic book giveaways and a chance for fans to dress up. "Comics have come a long way," says Dudas. "It's a time when it's cool to know more about things that are popular." 17462 Lorain Ave., Cleveland, 216-252-0606, cnjcomics.com
