Best Dangerous Retail Combo

Thanks to a recent relocation, Rick’s Comic City is now Homegrown Taproom’s next-door neighbor, and the combo offers the brick-and-mortar equivalent of drunk online shopping. Each spot is an institution in its own right: Rick’s has long been a top source for new comic books and graphic novels for readers from across the Midstate, and Homegrown’s three-year tenure has quickly established it as a local favorite for delicious food and a rotating craft beer selection. But now that those East of West and Transmetropolitan trade paperbacks can be so easily paired with the liquid courage of Homegrown’s carefully curated regional brews? I’ll wind up back at Rick’s with a fistful of dollars before you can say “take my money.” Frame by frame and sip by sip, it’s a hazardous one-two punch for any beer-drinking nerd. Approach the complex with caution — and bring some extra cash. MATT FOX
