Alternate Universe: Erik Yacko and Joseph Stinson. (May 3, 2012) |
1) Alternate Universe
The secret to Alternate Universe’s success lies in its ability to constantly keep up to date with the newest comics, while retaining a carefully chosen selection of the classics. On Wednesdays when the new shipments arrive, those in-the-know hang around the shop so they can get first dibs on whatever is hot (as of late, it’s “Avengers vs. X-Men,” but if you’re reading this you probably already knew that). The New Haven shop has given comic book aficionados a welcoming environment in which to geek-out without shame for the past 16 years (and six years at the Milford location), and they show no signs of slowing down. In fact, co-owners Eric Yacko and Joe Stinson met while working at a chain store on Chapel Street that became Alternate Universe's future location -- and now, Alternate Universe has been in business three times as long as their predecessor, says Stinson. Small business superheros for the win!
