PANELS

Because everyone loves a hero… and coffee.

Andrew Freeding

For over 75 years comic books have been telling stories about super-heroes and super-villains, about love and loss, right and wrong, and so much more. Sadly these days there are not as many comic book readers. PANELS is an attempt to rectify that. We are a comic book store first and foremost, but with the addition of a coffee shop we hope to draw in new faces and show them that there is a comic out there for everyone to enjoy.

Digital formats are in the process of replacing many forms of physical media (think: MP3s in place of CDs, news sites in place of newspapers, and streaming full feature films in place of DVDs), and this trend has already been seen in video games with digital downloads. With digital content comes the fear of piracy, and this fear has caused limitations on ownership rights of games, which require special individualized codes to obtain key access. Odyssey provides streaming access to video games while avoiding the difficult resale of an under-played game in digital format.
