History
Comic Planet is a comic book store located in Detroit, Michigan. The original owner of the store was George "Moustache" Michaels, who used the business as a front for illicit mob-related activities.

In 1998, a drug-dealer turned comic book writer named Perry Sykes was a guest at the store for the launch party of his new Vampblade comic book series, which came out at the height of the "bad girl" comics craze. A young girl named Katie Carva attended the signing and picked up the first issue of the title. These stories would inspire her for years to come. Eventually, Katie would one day become an employee of the store.

In the mid-2010s, owner George Michaels found himself in debt to his mob connections, who decided to pay him a visit. Without even asking him about the money, the mobsters shot him multiple times.

One of Michaels' employees, Katie Carva, was desparate to get a hold of anything to defend herself with, so she grabbed what she believed to be replica props of the Vampblades used in the 1990s indie comic book series Vampblade. By making contact with the blades, she transformed into the embodiment of the character that inspired her, and killed all of the mobsters. Simultaneously, two of the comic store's customers found themselves possessed by disembodied space vampires known as Glarkians. Vampblade used her weapons to purge the infecting entities from their bodies.

Since then, Katie became the new owner of the store, but used her newfound weapons and abilities to continue her fight against the Glarkians.

One of Katie's employees was sitting outside Comic Planet while Katie was off fighting Lord Suck. As such, the store was closed. A potential customer came by, but the employee told him that they were closed for the day.
