2018.11.03 Found Another One: 211 Games & Comics LLC

I was looking at a YouTube video and started peeping at the comments...for reasons*...and came across this little gem regarding Ken Whitman: "Him and his woman are in North Carolina under a different name. Check 211 games and comics on Facebook." Of course I couldn't find squat about 211 games and comic in North Carolina, but I did find one in Kentucky.

Interesting that Kenny, under the guise of Little Monster Entertainment, is promoting this store....with LLC right there in its name

....you know I wonder.....

Now 2018 was a bit more than a minute ago and it's kind of hard to remember all the comic book store drama going on back then. If only there was a record to look back on....

2018.04.17 Ken "Whit" Whitman is on the Run! Here we have a Facebook post from Kenny stating he is "no longer manager/owner of Little Monsters Games & Comics, LLC", which means he was, or at least was claiming to be, "manager/owner" of said store.

2018.04.22 Ken "Whit" Whitman Sells His Business? After Ken allegedly sells his business and after we report that the business supposedly buying Kenny's company wasn't a registered legal entity.....then it becomes one. Before anyone wants to state it's a bureaucratic issue, paperwork not getting approved, whatever, it is important to note that it is an online/electronic process and I do not think there was a manned Secretary of State office on Sunday afternoon....

2018.04.24 Whit gets a kiss goodbye as he Slips and Slides his night away. On what is presumably Kenny's last comic book show, Ken is rather chummy with someone who appears to be his new girlfriend: Jess Hunter. That name will undoubtedly become more significant.

2018.04.25 We're Calling BS Over Here at NAD The store "new owner" introduces herself: Jess Hunter. You may know her by current name: Mrs. Ken Whitman (Note: I'm pointing out the current relationship, she may or may not have changed her name). Of course, her post states she bought the store from Jim Sears....no mention of Kenny. The previous post did state that Kenny's last comic show was to be "Tuesday night", which would have been the night before. So Kenny's out of the comic book game.....right?

2018.12.17 Ken "Whit" Whitman Still Large & In-Charge Over at Little Monsters... Kenny is still doing live comic book "shows" over Facebook, with Jess Hunter. Last we checked, December is more than a few months after April......the show, which is no longer viewable, made it clear they were a couple, and that Ken was "in charge" of the Little Monsters Entertainment show.

So by late 2018 we have Jess opening 211 Games & Comics under her own name, while Ken continued maintaining a very public connection to both Jess and the comic/game business through Little Monsters Entertainment. Now this was done prior to that December Facebook Live Show under the Little Monsters Entertainment banner, so clearly there is still some connection between Ken, Jess, and the Somerset comic/gaming community. It appears that 211 Games & Comics dissolved in spring of 2019 and Kentucky Collectibles stepped in to take its place.

Looking through these previous posts, and a couple of others in passing, it seems like there was a front-facing attempt to provide some legal separation between Ken Whitman and the Little Monster(s) comic book store, but Ken being Ken he couldn't avoid the spotlight and kept a very public-facing connection to the store, appearing to remain involved in its operation, despite what he posted on Facebook. It appears he developed a relationship quite early on with Jess Hunter and eventually married her...(July 2025). Since Ken "owned" the original comic book store, acted like he still owned it after selling it to his now-wife even after she incorporated a new store (that December FB Live show AND this comment from the November 8, 2018 FB post) .....yeah, I'm having a hard time believing that the name on the LLC paperwork tells us the whole story.

Now that might seem like it's a stretch to make such an assumption, but we have precedent with the much-more recent PieoSync filing from this January.

*Reason being I was trying to find an employee of his for some 411
