(SPOT.ph) As we bid to the closing of 2023 in a few weeks' time, those who have a knack for comic books will also have to bid farewell to one of the beloved comic book stores in Makati, which have also been standing for more than 15 years now—the Planet X Comic Shop.

Planet X Comic Shop is saying adieu to its physical store in Glorietta.
In a social media post on Tuesday, November 14, Planet X Comic Shop announced that they have "decided to consolidate their store operations and move everything to our online platforms."
The Glorietta store, which is their only physical store, is going to be closed starting January 1, 2024. So you still have until the end of the year for one last visit; to relive the high school memories of going to the store to skim through and wait for releases of comics, graphic novels, and even figures.
"Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you all," they said.
But they won't be completely gone. As stated, their Shopee and Lazada (to be updated) stores are still going to be open to service their loyal patrons. You can still see new release lists and updates on their Facebook page as well as on their emailing list.
