Isotope Comics

Dr. Strange runs the shop! You can't go wrong if the Master of the Mystic Arts is selling you books !

One of the best places in SF to have a weekly pull list - and to spot comics industry insiders - and don't miss their regular parties and events

Everything I love about comics shops , without all the barriers. Not intimidating for noobs, and an institution for the experienced.

This is one of the most inviting shops. The owner is chatty (which is good in this kind of setting) and knows his stuff!

Pretty limited selection compared to other shops in the city , but the set-up is nice and cozy , and the owner is always super friendly (and a little bit quirky). No bags/boards!

Super cute ! Small selection, no IDW or Archie books , but an enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff and plenty of places to sit and read.

Great selection of individual issues and books . Helpful, friendly service . ❤️

James was excellent and coming in to see the comic art alone was worth it! Check out his mini comic collection in the lounge upstairs! A+!

Great comic shop with a lot of the classics

Fun store with cool vibe, store owner James is a living, breathing encyclopedia of Comic Book knowledge . New releases drop on Wednesdays Read more

The owner of this store is very friendly , dont be scared to talk to him if you need help with anything. He is pretty awesome!

GREAT customer service. I had other expectations after reading online reviews that called it a "lounge ". It was a nice little store though.

Excellent place, friendly knowledgeable staff . Go now.

Talk to the man in the suit. Offer to buy him a drink at a Tiki bar . You will not be disappointed.

Isotope is the most well put together comic shop I've ever been to.

Super knowledgeable staff , so take advantage of them if you're looking to start a new series. Also check the website for upcoming events .

Awesome comic book store , this is a true geek's paradise.

The upper floor is filled with self-published comic books

New books to the right, recents to the left by company, trades in the back, minis upstairs. All this and a couch to read them on. This is the shop your LCS wishes it was!

Use the foursquare special here to buy some Marvel Zombie comics with a sweet discount !

I wish they had more graphic novels .

Check out the Wuvable Oaf in the window!

Go into Isotope. Find the guy dressed in a suit with a wicked smile, funny hair and pointy goatee - it's James, the owner. You won't regret it.

Amazing store! Ask for a rundown on the toilet seat contributors.

get James, Storm, and Kirsten to blow your mind about comics . Definitely the place to be when they are hosting events .

Dont forget about the zines on the second floor.

James & friends will turn you into the happiest comic book geek ever!
