There’s been some uncertainty brewing about the future of Rocketship Comics at 208 Smith Street, with a reader even posting something about it on the Forum recently. The store first closed its doors about a week ago, and then opened back up with much of the inventory marked down. Yesterday when we biked by a sign on the window read, “Last Day.” Sad to see this place go. GMAP
Did Desert Island decide to carry mainstream comics or not?
These guys seemed to be doing good, maybe the rent went up? I wish Alex and mary the best
Desert Island is at 540 Metropolitan Avenue. Very cool place with lots of signings and events like Rocketship used to do.

Pete,
Ideal Properties is probably the best (or one of the best) small real estate brokerages in Brooklyn. They are a new start up and opened two offices last year in Park Slope and now this is their 3rd. In only a year. And they did an amazing renovation on the space they use as their office on 7th Avenue and I’ve had MANY people use them to find apartments and all had terrific experiences. They also have an entire wall of “no fee” listings outside their window.
They do a great job with retail leases and rentals…they don’t seem to do as much in the way of residential sales.
Where’s Desert Island?
I don’t think they will be reopening. I believe they want to do something different after five years (AND the lease was up). For now, support Bergen Street Comics and Desert Island if you like these kind of comic book stores!
it’s my fault. I moved to south slope and don’t go much anymore. Maybe Rocketship should open up in cheaper south slope and I’ll be there to support them. Definitely sad.
ugh, the real estate offices. One just opened on Court…Ideal or something like that.
The one that has all those ads on craigslist. I think most lifted from other realtors. I wouldn’t trust them.
Pete, how about some more real estate brokerage offices?
