Owners Adam and Erin Remillard have created a space that celebrates the nostalgia and excitement inherent in the pop culture world of comic books. Their store, located in historic Miamisburg across from The Plaza Theatre, offers a huge selection of new release, back issue, and collector comics, in addition to trades, graphic novels, and manga for customers of all interests.
They bought the building of Feb 2020 and hoped to open soon after, but in March the pandemic hit and supply chain issues created huge delays. It took them over two years, but they finally opened Monocle Comics & Coffeein March of this year.
Adam, who grew up in Miamisburg, shared “We wanted to have a place where people wanted to come in and actually stay in the shop. So, for us, we’re big coffee drinkers. We’ve always loved coffee. So it kind of made sense to incorporate the coffee world, have a cafe feel to it, but also have the comics piece where people want to come and get their comics, maybe stay in the shop, get a coffee, read their comics. And we really wanted to be that community.”
Erin definitely has her focus on the coffee side of the house. They serve up a variety of fair trade organic coffee, espresso and frappes and sweet treats. A large lounge area toward the back of the store provides comfortable seating for customers to enjoy constant showings of the best in superhero, sci-fi, fantasy, and pop-culture related movies, TV shows, and documentaries.
