Visiting Houston, TX for the first time; any suggested sites?

My lady love and I are going to use this holiday weekend to visit Houston for the first time. We are fully vaccinated and will of course be following the safety protocols to ensure the safety of others.

We have been binging 'MasterChef' for the last month and a half, and we know that Season 3 winner Christine's restaurant The Blind Goat is in Houston and will most likely enjoy a meal there, but we have no figured out what else we would like to do, other than having the desire to check out at least one store each that fits into our interests/hobbies.

I am a geek and am big into collecting comic books. Are there any great comic stores that would be recommended in Houston, specifically any that have a good balance between current issues, collectibles, back issues, and collected editions such as hard to find Omnibus, hardcovers, or trade paperbacks?

My lady is on a roll with checking out and purchasing perfumes, and we visit Ulta and Sephora often for her to see if there are any scents worthwhile to add to her collection. She would like to find out if there are any worthwhile stores that could be wholesalers or sell perfumes at discounted prices, as she does buy perfume off websites such as Mercari.

Any other sites and sounds recommended would be appreciated.

Please be well, all, this holiday weekend!
