Newbury Comics eyes superstore
With Virgin Megastore set to leave Newbury Street, Allston-based Newbury Comics sees an opportunity.

The departure of Virgin and its three-story, 46,000-square-foot megastore will open up a pop culture and music void in the Boston area that Michael Dreese, chief executive of Newbury Comics, is eager to take advantage of. Dreese said he is considering opening up a superstore of his own, though it would probably come to less than half the size of Virgin’s Newbury Street music palace, set to shut next year.
...
[Dreese] is looking for a deal, whether it be in Somerville or Boston.

The only place in Somerville I can think of that's at all appropriate for this store is the Citizens Bank storefront here in Davis Square. Is it big enough? If so, I think it would be a cool addition to our neighborhood.

(it would be even better if Newbury Comics could displace CVS from the future One Davis Square building, but I doubt that will happen.)
