Opened on March 31, 2008, Challengers Comics + Conversation strives to prove that the best thing about being in a comic book shop, is being in a comic book shop. With a combined 60+ years of comic retail experience, owners Patrick Brower and W. Dal Bush endeavor to bring Chicago a full-service, technologically interactive comic store that has the same level of wonder and enjoyment as the comics they champion.

And for the younger readers (and soon-to-be-readers), there is "Sidekicks" a place for young Challengers. Sidekicks is a dedicated part of Challengers with books and fun for all ages.
