LCS

An acronym for the baseball playoff series that determines what team plays in the World Series.

There is a LCS for the AL and NL baseball leagues and it is known as either the ALCS or NLCS. These two championship series pit the two teams who won their division series against each other. The LCS is a best-of-seven series and the team with the better regular season record hosts four of the seven home games.

Comic book readers use LCS to refer to their "local comic store." Usually, an LCS is a specialty shop that primarily sells comic books. The shop may sell new books, old books, single issues, graphic novels, or a mixture of those categories. If a reader's local bookstore sells comics (in addition to other books), the reader may refer to their bookstore as their LCS.

You're most likely to encounter comics fans using LCS on social media and in forums, when describing their local shop or explaining how a new reader can find theirs. For example, a user in the r/comicbooks subreddit may post a link to ComicShopLocator.com, so another user can search for their closest LCS. You may also encounter LCS in news articles about comic books and the comic book industry.
