10 North Carolina Comic Book Shops Packed With Rare Finds, Nostalgia And Unexpected Treasures

Starting your own comic convention is a pretty extreme way to prove you take comics seriously. One North Carolina shop did exactly that back in 1982, and the event is still going every summer. That sent me looking at the rest of the state’s comic shops a little differently.

Four Democrats flipped GOP seats in Charlotte's suburban counties. Who are they?

Voters sent a message to President Donald Trump’s Republican Party Tuesday as candidates up and down the ballot rode a blue wave to victory. The North Carolina General Assembly was no exception. Democrats shattered the GOP’s iron grip on the state Senate, breaking its supermajority and appearing to fall just short of an even split that would have given the Democratic lieutenant governor tiebreaking power. The party meanwhile flipped the NC House after 16 years. Republican state Rep. Tricia Cotham was one of the evening’s political casualties, losing to former Matthews town commissioner Ken McCool by a double-digit margin. But voters expected she could be in danger heading into Election Day. Results in nearby Republican-leaning districts came as more of a surprise. These are four of the newest Democratic leaders heading to Raleigh after flipping seats in Charlotte’s suburban counties. Chris Bishopp Retired Navy veteran Chris Bishopp defeated Republican incumbent Brian Echevarria by a margin of 56% to 44% in Cabarrus County, according to election night results. He’ll represent House District 82, which includes suburban and rural areas surrounding Concord.

The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled on Oct. 7 that Randy Hembree, a former employee of Charlotte-based Hendrick Automotive Group, can keep suing his supervisor, Eric William Wright, over allegations that Wright struck subordinates in the head and neck to motivate them. The allegations are unproven, and the ruling does not decide them. It decides where the fight happens: a superior court, not the state’s workers’ compensation agency.
