Why I opened the Comic Vault:
Hello, my name is Matthew Sardo and welcome to the Comic Vault. I wanted to do something more than just have pictures and words because the Comic Vault is more than a store it is a community. So, I just wanted to take a moment and let you know what inspired me to open this store.

I was away from comic books for a while, then about 5 years ago I stumbled across Identity Crisis. After finishing the book I was so impressed with the writing. I went to my local comic book store and looked around. I found Green Lantern: Rebirth, after read that I couldn’t help but get sucked back in.

After submerging myself in comic books and getting caught up, I took a step back and looked at the industry. With combination of great comic books and comic booked base films I decided to open my store in the summer of 2006. But a great thing has happened since I opened the doors. The store has evolved. It has become more than a store, it has become a community. A community of people from all backgrounds with one common goal, the enjoyment of reading comic books. Each week, people come in to my store with great anticipation of what they will read next.

I realize that there is a comic book out there for everyone and every age group. Super-hero, Non- superhero. All I ask is that you pick up a book and give yourself a chance to be inspired too. If you don’t like the book, bring it back and tell me why. It is my job to find the book that makes you think or inspires you. Guess what, your book is out there and I will help you find it.
