Great selection, great service. Glad they are around and the cosplay on free comic book day is always a welcome sight.

Last Man Standing

(2 reviews)

Lots of priced VHS. I wouldn't say there were a ton of deals but def worth a trip to this mall to…read moretake a look. An odd amount of UFO related material here haha. Lots of physical media to go through. They were blasting some hair metal but occasionally were play testing other music just as loud simultaneously... Scrambled my brain a little bit but what else would you expect from a record store in an old mall? If you like to collect things this would be a good stop for you- tons of stock.

This is a store focused on older media such as CDs, cassettes, records, VHS tapes, DVDs, and so on…read morewith a huge selection of almost all of that (especially music and VHS tapes). They also have current music including some that is a little harder to come by sometimes (and some very niche stuff as well), some anime and manga, and various other things and collectibles (i.e. band shirts, figurines). The staff is nice enough, the location is now much bigger than it used to be as well as they moved to another spot in the mall across from where they had been, and the prices can vary from really good to very marked up. If you are a collector and want authentic stuff be warned they do have a lot of bootleg DVDs mostly when it comes to anime and television shows specifically. If the owners/staff disagree with this then I apologize, I do not mean to defame or damage your business - this is strictly my personal opinion as a fan collector of these things with decades of my own research that I personally believe, NOT a factual proven statement from an authority on the subject, and readers of this review can and should take this as nothing more than the view of an unofficial fan purchaser who could be completely mistaken. My other, and probably biggest issue, is that they had marijuana stuff for sale next to a rack of children's Disney movies. Perhaps it won't stay that way (and possibly has even been removed/moved by now), but they were both on solid fixtures and out for sale near the back of the store. I have a problem with this stuff being in the store at all to begin with (and am not sure it's even entirely legal to have in Ohio for sale in a store like that), but it's really irresponsible and distasteful to have it next to what kids would be interested in and makes me question the owners decisions. If you bring your children just keep an eye on them the whole time so they don't have to see this stuff or get a chance to interact with it. While I point out two negatives that may be big depending on you personally, I still actually really like this place and the staff are, again, very nice so I don't wish to discourage people from visiting. There's a lot of cool items, a lot of rare items, a lot of popular typical things you'd expect...and all of it is bundled up in a store straight out of the mid 90s - a type of store I, personally, really miss. I wish the best for them and will, even with said issues, keep coming back and absolutely recommend checking it out if you're ever at the mall.

Initial review after one visit is 4 stars...although honestly I'm not too impressed with some…read morethings, overall there was a very strong selection. What made me cringe? It made me feel like a standard comic book shop you see on tv - a very sexist promotion of sexualized women. In the poster section, there's a gorgeous Psyloche poster...except for how it tries to center and show off her butt and Venus mound with just a slim piece of fabric. There are other hyper sexualized posters of women in comics...and then real women scantily clad like I'm in a teenage boy's (or drunken frat guy's) room. Next to the posters is a drawn pin-up against 'censorship' with the woman's nipples poking out so hard it could take an eye out. By the new comics, there's more drawn pin-up art. Like...so skeevey and clearly the owner doesn't realize how many women read comics? U G H. The good parts that made it so I won't nuke this review (so tempting tho): - it's locally owned - located in sylvania which doesn't have that much - walls are covered with back issues, art, and many collectible toys. - bins and bins of older comics - good variety of new comics There does seem to be a lot of focus on DC/Marvel, but there are some other publishers located. I'll return again to give it another try; I was there for 20 minutes and still hadn't looked at everything. But if I lived here, I would not be a regular subscriber, because the environment is not friendly to me.

I drive a long way for good stuff. If you need comics then JC's is the place you're looking for…read more The owner is always there to help you. Plus they are open 7 days a week
