Of all the businesses you could start and have a chance of succeeding, 'comics shop' isn't one.

What if its a front for a money laundering scheme relying on the fickle, often arbitrary, poorly regulated second-hand comic book market?

No you see the mob won't break your legs cause you're working for them and they have already paid off the police!
How could this fail?

My local comic shop gets by pretty well by also selling/renting Porn

Two other ideas. The radio station I volunteer at does remote broadcasts, so I could probably make a live show happen every Saturday night from the store. We'd talk about games, movies, and other topics of interest.

Other idea was primarily gaming tables. But I just got word that the particular spot we wanted was just sold to a tattoo parlor (to the chagrin of basically the entire community). There are two other spots open directly across from the GameStop, both a little bigger than the previous spot. We're calling the realtor tomorrow to find out the going rates.

Well, of course it wouldn't be comics only. Comics+miniatures/gaming...you have to start somewhere.

If there aren't extablished comic shops within a 50 million mile radius, then yeah he might do ok.

The tables are a great idea. Only downside is they attract loiterers, who come in with their own cards and drinks, and never buy anything.
