Lone Star Comics, 1215 S. Cooper St., Arlington

If the giant murals of iconic DC and Marvel superheroes on the windows don’t clue you in, go inside and you’ll figure out that Lone Star Comics’ main store in Arlington is the place to indulge your inner fanboy (or –girl).  The Texas comic chain moved its main store from East Abram Street to South Cooper four months ago and did it in style.  Far from a simple hole in the wall, the new location is a wide, classy (in a geeky sort of way) joint, full of comics, graphic novels, manga, and sci-fi and fantasy books.  The décor includes glass cases full of models, busts and collectibles, movie posters, and more.  About the only things missing are a couch, a big-screen TV, and a Kevin Smith movie on repeat.
