Orlando-based Coliseum of Comics, the largest comics and collectibles retailer in the Southeast, today announced the Friday opening of a new store in Clermont, Florida. The 1500-square-foot store, located at 1730 E Highway 50, will become the seventh location in the locally-owned chain, and the second affiliate store owned by Aaron Holland.

The new location, like the other six stores in the chain, will deal in not just new comics, back issues, and graphic novels, but also toys, other collectibles, and board games and role-playing games.

Comic books have been propelled to the front ranks of pop culture; many being adapted into movies and television, from the recent record-breaking Wonder Woman to the blockbuster Avengers, Deadpool and X-Men franchises to AMC's ratings juggernaut The Walking Dead to the many hit network and Netflix series like Arrow, The Flash, Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Many hit television, video game, motion picture and book properties have made a leap the other direction into comics, with graphic adaptations and additions to the worlds of Star Wars, Doctor Who, Star Trek, and Disney's Figment and Haunted Mansion properties.

A date for the store's Grand Opening celebration will be announced soon. You can find out more about Coliseum of Comics on their official website.
