It's nerd heaven up in here. Great selection of...everything! New/back issues, trades (super organized and you can even rent!), and collectables. You can tell a lot of care went into this place.
They have a good selection for Marvel and DC but if you're looking for something less well-known, you may not have much luck.
There's a cool gallery in the store with great contemporary examples of comic art and illustrations.
Well-organized, which is always nice when searching.
Super friendly staff and HUGE selection
Everything
Best selection of graphic novels , best events , and the only comic shop with places to sit down and read
Go for the comics , stay to watch artists doing layouts in the back. Don't forget to sign the wall!
horrible music playing
Very impressed with the customer service. I had a list of old issues and they were able to find many of them- all in great condition. Will definitely be back! - Jenn Bacall
HUGE $1 comics section with the most-wanted titles. Great staff too. It’s not as close as my neighborhood comic stores, but it’s my new favourite. - Stephen Román
Awesome spot to browse through your favorite comics! I love getting lost in here. - Captain Deadpool
Big store but everyone in the area seems to go here so they run outta the good stuff fast. - Winston
The raspberry sundae is my favorite! Add hot fudge to make it even better. You can choose the type of ice cream you want for your sundae - Genie
