KEEP CHECKING BACK HERE AT OUR WEBSITE!  Currently this site is under heavy construction but over the coming weeks we will be adding more and more features such as all the latest news on the comic book industry and our sales and promotions, while posting witty blog rants as well as attempting to find and showcase independent and local artists of various disciplines.  However, the big whammy is that we will soon have a fully functioning online store displaying our entire inventory while providing money saving subscription and ordering options!  The look of the site will also be evolving as it will perpetually be "pimped out."   We might even have some fancy "Flash" stuff going, depending on if we can train our lab Chimpanzee/webmaster, Dr. Biscuits, how to use such a high end animation program.

WHO IS TOP 5 COMICS?  We're glad you asked such an important and life affirming question.  Top 5 comics is three gentlemen, and one lesser primate, all coming together to "bring the ruckus" of pop art entertainment to the Grand Valley area and beyond.  Let us introduce ourselves:

"COMIC BOOK" STEVE MOORE  a.k.a.  "CBS"



Around Halloween he has also been known to be called "Silent Bob's Evil Twin"   and some of us at Top 5 call him the "Comic Con Nazi" due to his uncompromising militaristic campaigns to get signed copies of everything ever produced at the San Diego Comic Con, hence ruining the whole experience for those unfortunate enough to be duped into going on the trip with him.  But ultimately it is this "can do" attitude that has earned him his unrivaled fanboy reputation and the right to be called "Comic Book Steve."  Such a name is frequently dropped in all of Fun Junction's hot spots, ranging from his good pals and punk rock chefs at "No Coast Sushi" to all of the major happenings where him and the "Snob Productions Crew" are to be seen wielding video camera's and soundboards. There is no one more qualified to run Grand Junction's premiere comic shop, and in one conversation with this legendary fanboy you might think that he eats, sleeps and defecates comic books if weren't for the fact that doing such things to comics would mess them up  and totally violate the "Collector's Code of Mint Condition."

ROBERT "KUNG FU MASTER" MOORE



You may have first seen Robert Moore as the hero on the verge of madness blasting away zombies in the grind house romp known as the "Disease of the Dead" series directed by his brother "CBS."  If you witnessed his on screen persona, then you know that the man can handle an ostentatiously big hand gun while saving us all from the zombie apocalypse.  This is why when the undead do decide to rise for a "midnight brain snack" the safest place to be will be in the Top 5 Comic Shop where Robert will be holding down the fort.  And while we are all waiting for such a battle Robert will probably impress us all by staging a Kung Fu film festival that demonstrates his encyclopedic knowledge of Hong Kong cinema, kick all of our butts at the in store X-Box 360 while giving an "Old School Manga" lecture, and then mock our confused looks as he forces us to watch rare anime imports in untranslated Japanese.

SWINE MASTER X

Every good superhero comic book has to have a sinister supervillian in its formula.  Why should a comic book shop be any different?  Meet Swine Master X, Top 5 Comic's official arch enemy yet ironically it's third partner and smug elitist.  Little is known about Swine Master X but it has been said that as a child he was an avid collector of comic books only to be embittered when finding out that he had been brainwashed by the comic book industries propaganda that someday his collection might be worth money.  He then swore of collecting comics and purportedly sold his collection to CBS so that he could wonder U.S. pursuing his dreams of fortune and glory.  But his hopes were crushed by Grand Junction's Ute Indian curse that ripped him back into the Grand Valley and forced him to open a comic book shop with his estranged childhood friends "The Moore Brothers."  He has sworn revenge on all things comic books and has vowed to turn kids away from the likes of Batman and the X-Men and corrupt their minds with the vile words of Dead German Philosophers.  As the Moore Brothers battle to save what little humanity is left in him, while at the same time preventing him from chucking Werner Herzog DVD's at fanboys heads and accosting the shops stereo system with overly indulgent prog rock like the Mars Volta, he has been importing a legion of pig masks into the Top 5 shop for a mysterious a project that may, or may not, grant him world domination...but is certainly confusing everyone that happens to use the shop's bathroom.


DR. BISCUITS

When we conceived of opening Top 5 Comics we knew that it was imperative that we had two things, a pet Chimp and a website.  So, being men with high powered business minds fueled with cut throat efficiency it seemed only logical to combine these two concepts into one well oiled machine.  Enter our webmaster Dr. Biscuits, a genetically modified lab Chimpanzee who we stole from PETA, who had in turn stolen (or liberated) him from a top secret lab funded by the C.I.A.  From sources that we cannot reveal, we were later to learn that the C.I.A. had been feeding him a steady diet of Pop Tarts and Hot Pockets laced with some kind of synthetic derivative of the powerful psychedelic drug Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in order to prepare his mental faculties for telepathic warfare against the "Interdemensional Hyperspace Machine Elves," who are planning a vicious attack on Earth sometime around 2012.  Although his shadowy origins remain an enigma, we have learned so far that his favorite band is the Wu-Tang Clan, he thinks Scarlett Johansen is only "kinda hot," and that he totally sucks at website design.
