I started collecting baseball cards again in 2019 after a 29 year hiatus. This is the first card…read moreshop I visited after deciding to jump back in. Met Kevin, the Owner, who's been in business since the heyday of collecting in the 80's. He was extremely helpful, friendly, and didn't mind taking time to answer questions, which I had plenty of since the collecting industry had changed so much since I stopped. Over the next 3 years I bought numerous hobby products from Kevin. When COVID hit in 2020, the industry went crazy and caused prices to skyrocket. Kevin remained true and offered prices well below what he could of asked for at the time. I asked him about it and he told me he'd seen numerous highs and lows in the industry, and he wanted to take care of his loyal customers who would always come back. I have a great deal of respect for Kevin, and while I have stopped collecting new cards (I just purchase vintage), I still stop by from time-to-time to say hello. He no longer sells sports cards because the distributors got too greedy, and he didn't want to pass those excessive costs to his customers. He still sells comics though, and he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with anyone who stops by. It's a small shop and if he doesn't have something you're looking for, he has years of connections and will either find a way to get it or point you in the right direction. If you're in the area, stop on by and take a look. You'll feel welcomed and want to come back. Not enough places like this anymore.

Shelves packed with graphic novels, new issues rolling in on a weekly basis and short boxes filled with back-issues that you can get lost for hours. During our 4 years in Suisun, I spent a LOT of time digging, discovering, and just soaking in the magic of collecting. What made it even better was the friendship I built with John, the owner. He's created a space that truly welcomes readers especially in a world where "going digital" is an easy option. Waterfront Comics reminds you what real collecting feels like. Thank you, John, for your kindness, your passion, and for bringing the community together. Shops like yours keep collectors inspired.

He is a real cool dude and a straight shooter. I really enjoyed talking to him. Down to earth dude that won't BS you. He gave me a really good deal on the top loaders he had.

This time we visit Retroactive because I was in search for some games for my Nintendo DS lite. I found 2 games and I was so happy. The price was reasonable and i love it. We also speak with the owner and he was so nice and helpful. We were talking about games and we notice that he really loves what he is doting his store. We really recommend this store. I am so glad that we have this store near to our home. You can also find vintage vinyl records, PlayStations games, Xbox games and more. We enjoy our time and our kids were so happy.

Great selection but I have never been to a store that smelled this musty. The guy (white) sitting…read morein his chair in the back seems to be annoyed by his customers. Made eye contact and ignored us. Felt like we barely got any kind of help or acknowledgment. I can get over that part. But it gets better... what I could not get over was the smell. It smelled god awful body odor the moment we stepped into the store. And they all sound congested and mouth breathing. Lmao. So I basically walked into Covid. Setup is weird, they have colored dots for card in glass. So YOU have to look up the prices which is genius. Bought $25 worth of cards while the guy who's packing it is mishandling them even though they were in the glass case. So bravo. They also don't carry common cards. Name is wrong it's actually called Skyscraper Comic. They are giving the last owner a bad name for sure. If it weren't for them they would be one star.

I spent several minutes chatting with the cashier about the new Transformers series and why it's hitting so well, while another staff member checked in and recommended a few books I hadn't even heard of. This place feels like a local bar for comic fans, except instead of drinks you're deep into comic talk and shop news. The variety here is fantastic. The wall is lined with new releases and current titles, there's a strong selection of graphic novels, and the middle of the store is packed with long boxes full of back issues, including great deals like 50-cent bins, variant covers, and bundle finds. There's just so much cool stuff to look through. Benicia is lucky to have a comic shop like this, and whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop by.
