This was from a pre-release on Saturday, June 8.

I have known one of the proprietors of this business for close to 20 years. He started out as a tabletop card game player and comic book enthusiast. Now, he helps run one of the best shops in SoCal, in my opinion. Comics are prepared and ready to pick up when people create "pull lists." The staff is friendly and understanding. Every inch, except the bathroom, thank god, is decked out in fandom and geek materials. Do you like Power Rangers, Pokemon, Superman, Wolverine, Magic: the Gathering, My Hero Academia? They have all of that and more. If you like comics, cards, statues, toys and everything in between, then this is the place. The guy behind the counter and the owner do their best to keep prices in step, especially when it comes to new items and the driving prices that tend to skyrocket. Could not recommend this place more. Except to say that when you walk in and see a smiling face with a beard, please say Hello, Jesse is an amazing person and a better comic book shop worker.

Simpsons game! $5 an hour for a multi-player game

$5 an hour for the arcades is a hidden gem in a not so side room in a comic book store. My husband scored cool points for sure with our 8 year old. Arms are sore from rapid fire arcade & cardio down memory lane. Lol. Highly recommend if you're remotely close in the area!

Someone told me comicon was a good place to find husbands. #HusbandShopping.

Where are all the good guys ... at your Local comicon event. If you can't find one of those go to the comic store. I ask my friend where did you find your man ? She replied, chatting online he's a nerd. If he's into comic books, he's probably gonna treat you right. So here I am looking for snow, White comic books and maybe a husband if I find one winking my eye emoji#ChickaBoom

A true family owned operation! You can see how hard they work! Several things I appreciate! First FLASH WAS ON! second gave me that 1990s comic book vibe! Also the back room bring your friends and games to play whatever there is! Also check out the comics and action figures! My hubby felt like he was living his 90s so did I... Also bathrooms are clean! If you're playing games except snacks and drinks to be available for purchase! I will definitely be coming back atleast twice a month! Super happy we found this place! Must come back must check out if you're in the Cerritos area! LOVE LOVE LOVE

A table full of comic &. Illustrated novel event information.

My Boyfriend enjoys ducking into Comic Book Stores once a month or so & I wander around while he looks for what he wants. He seems to enjoy Atomic Comics the most. The shop recently moved just one door down from itself & is now larger than before. The first time we came in, there was a card tournament going on. I had no idea what was happening (The Gathering, I think) but the participants were totally into it! Everything is well organized & there are action figures & related collectibles on display. The Owner is super nice & you can tell he has a passion for this business. He's also very helpful, buys as well as sells & wound up tracking down an issue that my BF needed to complete a series. The store is located just a few miles from the Cerritos Mall with a nice size parking lot.

The shop!

See all

To be honest, dear reader, I am not an avid comic book reader! While I do enjoy the superhero…read moremovies that come along each year, and I do casually read certain runs, or listen to explanations of certain comics via Comics Explained, I do not keep up with this medium as consistently as I do with Video Games. The only run that I have kept up with on a consistent basis is the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, both the Archie run (slightly before Ian Flynn would take over) and the IDW run as I am a huge fan of Sonic. Due to this, I do like to visit a comic book store every once-in-a-while, and this is my #1 spot! I found out about this nice little spot back in 2006 or 2007 as after learning about the Archie run via the Sonic Mega Collection, I wanted to start reading these comics. I noticed this place from time to time in my family's travels to Bellflower and asked my Mother to take me one day. I stopped going for a long time, not because of any specific negative reason, but just because they stopped selling the Sonic run. Since Sonic is the only comic book that I read, I had no reason to return. I did find out about places like Pulp Fiction, but I found that the customer service was consistently not up to par and eventually stopped going. Last year, during Free Comic Book Day, I wanted to stop by a Comic Book Store in order to pick up some of the free comic books. I first went to Amazing Comics & Cards, but found the selection to be very limited and a similar problem of the customer service being poor. I went here after so long to see if they were participating in Free Comic Book Day, and luckily enough, they were! Going in, it is still majorly organized as I remember way back when, but just now with more Graphic Novels and Manga. One thing that I can always say is the best about this place is the customer service. When I went to Free Comic Book Day, they gave people a list of what was available and crossed out any that were not available, they allowed an individual to get way more comics than the previous store I went to (like 5 comics in comparison to 2 or 3), and when I was conflicted on which comic to get, they just allowed me to have both. Not only this, the main guy at the cash register, I never got his name, but is an older white gentleman that usually wears a cap, is always nice and helpful. I don't remember him from years ago, but immediately from our first interaction, he has the best personality. Easy to talk to and start up a conversation, and leaves a definite positive impression after stepping out of the store. And this isn't just one interaction, I had been going from time to time in 2025, and the attitude was always solid. They never seem to run out of the comics that I am looking for and just generally seem to be great spot hidden away in the Bellflower area. In all, from what I remember back in the mid-to-late 2000s and recently, I give them 5 stars. A great place for comic readers and worthy of being one of my favorite spots to stop by when I am in the mood of purchasing a comic.

Best place to get your comics. The owner (Mike) is very nice and super approachable. He's extremely…read moreknowledgeable and loves talking about comic books. He's a great resource to level up when it comes to collecting!
