First Post!

Welcome to Planet Hobby’s brand new blog! Since 1989, Planet Hobby (previously known as Grey Region) has been providing Mississauga with comic books, graphic novels, action figures, models and other geekery of the like. Here we will be posting store and industry news, information about the products we carry, and content from both the lovely people who sell them and the wonderful folks who buy them.

For the sake of a school assignment that our wonderful bossman Phil has decided to humour, I will be the primary blogrunner for the time being. No need to fear, however; I promise to deliver diverse content, including posts on how to get into comics with insights from regulars and employees, new products that come in weekly, and details to an upcoming giveaway!

Before we get to all that, here is a quick little intro about me!

My name is Gabby, and I’ve been working at Planet Hobby for over 2 years! (It will be 3 years this June!) I have been a casual comic book reader for the past 5 years. Combine that with the fact that I’m the youngest employee very much makes me the baby of the store.  What I lack in knowledge I usually try to make up for with an infectious amount of enthusiasm and interest.  

This store means a lot to me not only as an employee but also because of the relationships I’ve developed here. Local comic book stores are such a great way to make friends and meet new people with similar interests, and I am eager to inform and converse with even more people through this blog.

Stay tuned for weekly blurbs about our products and what our employees and regulars are reading!
