Any of you have a cool name idea for a new comic book store?

There was a place back in Colorado (that closed it's doors) called the Comic Vault.

I always wanted to open "The Android's Dungeon". Some of you will get the reference. But I'll never open a shop so... The only downside I saw to the name was someone may have the rights to it, but maybe that doesn't matter. IDK I'm not a lawyer.

Gator Comics
or Gator Bait Comics

Let's see... Economy in recession that may last a couple years. Virus pandemic making people stay home, lose jobs/have medical expenses so they don't have money. Big election coming up that may further hurt (or help) the economy and virus treatment/control. Yep, perfect time to open an essential business like a comic shop  .
If you're going to have a website eventually too, you really want Comics in the name of the store and website URL, and don't spell it 'Comix', that will hurt your site rankings.
So here's some realistic choices for the times (meant as tongue in cheek, ok?):
Dr. Doomed Comics
Bad Timing Comics
What, Me Worry? Comics (may have a copyright problem with MAD magazine.)
I Have All the Best Comics, Everyone Says So. Perhaps the Best Comics Ever. No One's Seen Comics Like These Before. All CGC 10's. Everyone That Wants a Comic Can Get a Comic. And Mexico Will Pay For Them. We'll See What Happens.
Fantastic Four Comics (Monthly Sales Total).
Kevin's, the Man Without Fear Comics.
Kevin's, Agent of C.H.A.P.T.E.R. 11 Comics.
Or, 'The Man from C.H.A.P.T.E.R. 11 Comics.'
Or, 'Plan Chapter 11 From Outer Space Comics.'
The Titanic of Comics. (only has one door, and no ice allowed inside)
What We've Got Here, Is a Failure...to Start With, Comics. (Cool Hand Luke movie reference for the under 60 crowd).
there's a million more, but you get the idea. Good luck anyway.

Some cracking and clever ideas here so far.
I think a comic store name needs a punctuation mark. Comics can never have enough of them (zap!, shazam!, etc.!)
I also like self-referential exclamations like 'By Odin's Beard!'
But I also appreciate satire and homage. And who better to honor in a name than the dean of stories, Alan Moore?
So my suggestion for a new comic store name is -- Moore's Beard!

Or you could go with 'By Stan's Mustache!', or 'By Stan's Toupee!' Comics
How about:
Snikt-erdoodles Comics. (Free cookie with each comic!)
In the Snikt of Time Comics.
I'm Tho Thwipped Comics.
'Not Maria BAMF!ord's Comics' (for the standup comedy fans.) Or, 'Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a BAMF! Comics'.
Wang Dang Sweet "KTANG!" Comics. (for '70s/80s rock fans)
trouble is most of those sound effects are copyrighted. oh well, back to my so-called quarantine life (hmm, might be a TV show in there..)

I think a comic book shop should have the word comics in it.
