The back issue section is neatly organized, with selected titles performing double-duty as wall decoration. Coliseum's DC section includes premium format figures and statues along with comics and trades. Customers can fill in the gaps in their Eaglemoss figurine collections here.

Games and trade paperbacks based on gaming properties are smartly grouped together here. Much like the DC section, Coliseum's Marvel display encompasses many product categories. New comics are stocked and ready to head back out the door from whence they came!
