    What a cool store! Comic (duh!) books, books, FUNKO POPS, posters, tees and old school standing video games and cool decor. Top it will knowledgeable and nice employees, and right on South Street! My daughter got a Michael Myers POP and a tote bag. It was a lot of fun :)

    Geek paradise. Comics? Check. T-shirts from awesome movies/comics? Check. Action figures? Check. That totally badass X-Men arcade game from the early 90s? Check. (But it was broken when I was there.) Really nice guy running the cash register? Check. Cafe-type area to enjoy your new purchases and have a soda? Check. I've been to other comic book stores that were bigger and had a better selection, but Atomic City is an eclectic combination of geekery that should be a stop on any self-respecting nerd's tour of Philly.

    Okay, this review is definitely for a certain demograhic, but here goes: This little CC comic book store is super friendly and very helpful. If you are wondering why you would come here, just know that there is more to comics than superman. The staff here will help you find a great comic book for any boy or girl no matter what their hobby. I came here to get some really funky art work. I found a really cool comic book (that reminded me of the Issac's art work in Hereos) and framed them. I used the rest to wrap the gift. And now I am officially the coolest cousin.

    Great selection, but why don't the cashier's bag the books when you ask them to? Kinda rude

    This is one of my favorite neighborhood shops. I love to stop in to see what's new and pick up a comic while I walk around on South St.

    We liked stopping by this bookstore. Wooden Shoe Books had an array of books on race, social…read morejustice, and so much more. Their prices are a bit higher than you'd expect online or at a chain bookstore, but I find that very justifiable as all of their profits go towards running the shop and other social justice missions. The volunteers at the store were great as well and were happy to answer questions or direct us to where certain books were.

    First, to address the person claiming "they are all racist here"…read more This is an ANARCHIST BOOK STORE. They have books on critical race theory, yes. They also have books on queer studies, feminist literature, Muslim education... the list goes on and on. Do you understand what anarchy is? At any rate I seriously doubt the black and brown employees who have or do currently work or volunteer at Wooden Shoe would appreciate being called racist, so why don't you, you know, fuck off and shop somewhere else? That being said. Wooden Shoe is an exceptional resource for books on any number of topics. They tend to skew toward literature on social justice issues that run the gamut, so you're not going to find the latest pop culture biography or new fiction. Books are full price, so expect to pay $35 for a new hardcover, but they also have a ton of $1-5 second hand books, plus a really cool section of free and cheap zines and small print publications. I've been shopping here for it seems like a decade, and as a queer, gender non-conforming biracial person, the idea that they are racist is comical bordering on fully ignorant.
