I grew up in the South Bay. I'd frequent the Comic Bug in Manhattan (Awesome shop) and unfortunately, Geoffrey's Comics (Terrible customer service). Now that I moved out here to Lakewood, I found this shop and I feel right at home. Without a doubt, one of the friendliest staffs I've ever dealt with. And they have a great selection of back issues. Highly recommend read more

Super friendly service and homely feel from a time when comics were not on the giant screen. They have thousands of comics to look at and go through in the racks. Tons of new stuff all along the side of the store with some play tables in the back of the store for your TCG games. Always knowledgeable and friendly will be back read more

We have been coming to this location for a few years, but since the ownership changed at the end of last year things have really changed (for the good) . Under new ownership there have been many changes . The new staff is amazing!! The new owner is very kind and will go out of his way to help you. I needed a few board games I was able to ask Jessie if he could get them for me and he was able to order them for me. The store has been updated , new table and chairs for the back area for the games. It's amazing how just a few change has made this location more enjoyable. I highly recommended you stop by if you're into comics, Pokémon Star Wars, Yu-Gi-Oh! ,Lorcana, he carries such a wide variety of cards and games and comics. So if you're just looking for unique board game check them out. . They offer so many different items. There's something for everyone.. I would highly recommend this location from the owner and the rest of the staff you can't go wrong!!! read more

Atomic Comics - This is the front of the store. - Comic Books Near Me - Artesia, California

The staff were such a big help! Shout out to Alex for hooking it up with the recommendations and helping us find our way throughout the store! Not to mention, one member of our group temporarily misplaced their phone, and Alex went above and beyond in helping us locate it :) the employees of this place are incredibly kind and friendly Can't wait to read the comics I got and return with other friends of mine! Although it's quite a drive, it's a great comic store, and for-sure worth it!! read more

ALways looking for a cool comic book shop where people aren't awkward and weird when you walk-in because you aren't a regular. Stumbled upon Atomic Comics so we went in and took a walk around. They have a very huge selection of everything - comics, collectibles, etc you name it. Everything is organized and in decent order. The people that work there are ... typical comic book folks. They are super helpful, but not super social but not awkward either. Nice place, inside, the parking can be a little a tight, but it's not bad. Prices seem to be on point with other places in the area. I like it and I am glad we stumbled upon it. read more

Great find for a comic fiend!! Great prices, great selection. Also can buy action figures, graphic novels, manga. Etc. Over all awesome place! read more

we've gone here a few times for the past 2 years since my partner and I got into comics and we live locally. imagine our surprise when we walk in and are greeted by the owner cause we were used to being ignored by the last one we came back again for a shortbox and had them recommend us card sleeves, very nice and accommodating people! will definitely shop here more often! read more

Very unhelpful and rude staff. When approaching the front to purchase in front, it was unclear where to pay. Was told to "Get back". Not coming back to a comic store with such rude front workers read more

Absolute paradise for comic lovers! They have an incredible selection of new releases, back issues, and graphic novels. Super great value as well. The shop is organized, clean, and has a great vibe. Highly recommend checking them out! 10/10 customer service. read more

Amazing customer service, very nice and great offers all around, highly recommend to check out for any comic book needs, lots of trading card product for a great price as well read more

5 star toilet. Give that cat a raise. Awesome customer service. 10/10. Would go again. Prices are competitive too. read more

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. read more

Atomic Comics - This was from a pre-release on Saturday, June 8. - Comic Books Near Me - Artesia, California

$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! read more

Looks smaller than it actually is. Comic selection is pretty big compared to some other stores. Unfortunately, they don't carry Pokemon singles. Besides that, the card selection seems pretty good. They have older magic and yugioh cards as well. The Asian guy in the front was saying that he's pretty new to comics. But he definitely didn't lack in the service department. He sold me on a sentry comic and recommended I give the new avengers a read. Only downside is that's it's kinda messy up front with all the boxes and what have you. Other than that, it's a good spot. read more

Awesome staff. We went in to ask about Magic the gathering and got all the info we needed. Will be back to play and learn the game more here. They have a ton of comics too for those that are interested in that. read more

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 read more

Everything. I've been to places not well organized and that should be such a base. This place has a vast catalog of books that invites new readers. This visit was actually bringing my GF to show her how shops work after going to another that was ALL bad. She got a bonus bad and 1 out of 2 we won a lot of fun stuff. Side note. I'm a POC reader and they had a side room of things of things to come and I never felt like I was targeted for exploring this space. That's rare. I'm 30 miles away and incapable of a pull list and hope those that are know, this is the place to be. read more

Plenty of parking. Friendly customer service. Plenty of inventory to look through. They also have a kids section for those with smaller children. read more

I used to go here all the time but it has gotten worse. The place is poorly organized, they don't have much of a selection, but what's worse is the service. Everytime I go in there to get help on something the staff seems too preoccupied and have no desire to assist. The last time I went there, I stood at the counter waiting for awhile for the worker to help but he was too busy on his phone so I just walked out. I'm done with this place. read more

this is a great place for comics and games. Eric and Jesse are good people who know how to treat their clients with respect. I sold a lot of old comics and was given a fair price. I highly recommend Atomic Comics. read more

We were helped by the Hispanic gentleman and he was super helpful and even showed us lucha libre comics which we had no idea existed! Loved the store and their huge variety, I wished it could've been easier to go through everything but you can't really complain about their huge collection. Definitely a good comic store read more

Pretty nice selection but a bit on the expensive side. If you're looking for a dollar box or something of the like and not in the mood for back issues, then you're out of luck. Customer service is friendly enough. read more

Great LCS! I've found many back issues to fill in the gaps to the sets I'm trying to complete. I could spend days going through all the boxes, but my wife would probably come looking for me! I joined the membership program and the discounts have definitely more than paid for the cost, it's a great deal. Also, I've sold some of my duplicate back issues and got offered a really fair price for them. I'll be going back again and again. read more

We're casual comic book fans -- we like reading them when we have the time but aren't always up to date on new releases. With that in mind, this place is great! They have great inventory and knowledgeable staff. read more

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 read more

Cool place, it has all the comics and collectibles a connoisseur appreciates! Bought some books and bags, the friendly service and the convenience of the location (close to fwy) will definitely make me come back! read more

I went to the store and was only there to find video games and funko pops. I found that the store has classic NES and N64 games. I went to check out the games, and he had the two Super Mario Bros. variants, the one by itself and the one that comes with Duck Hunt. I took the Mario/Duck Hunt variable since it's a 2-in-1 game. I gave him a hard time deciding what to get, so I apologized to the owner. The only minor complaint I have with the store is that the owner charges customers $5 to play only 1 hour of their arcade games. The guy could improve on it by making the games free to play. Overall, it's a nice experience, and I had fun looking at all the comics, video games, and apparel the store had available. Definitely recommended for comic book enthusiasts. read more

This place is chill, a little messy but no uptight owner hovering over you. They have some back stock and some graded items. They have tons of toys, only thing, you need to scavenge through it all. More then a few times I found hard to find variants here still at regular price where Frank & Sons had already priced up. Good spot read more

Large selection of new and older comics, collectible toys and sport card boxes. Highly recommend the store for any comic enthusiast. So excited we finally have a local comic book store! Check them out today! read more

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. read more

The guy working at the store needs some customer service training and public health awareness. My partner and I walk in and the guy just says hi and goes back to watching supernatural on the TV in the back. A big red flag should have been he wasn't wearing a mask during this pandemic. we were left looking around with no help and he did not make himself available. When we were ready to check out we just stood there for 15 minutes waiting if he would come to the register until I had to go get him myself. He finally put on a mask when he got to the register and was very short with us about any questions we had. This was an unpleasant experience and unfortunately happened again when we returned two weeks later to grab some new issues. Last time I go to this shop. read more

Saw this shop on the side of the rode and stopped by to check it out! Bought a Shining Fates Pokémon Box and a Celebrations Pokémon Box that were not overpriced at all. The shop owner had great customer service and took care of every concern I had. read more

Atomic Comics - The shop! - Comic Books Near Me - Artesia, California

Been many years since my time with comics and I ventured in because the closet space would be useful to recover. Brought a small stack in and Eric relayed what the values would be on them. Came back a week later about educating me regarding the condition-grading criteria. Appreciate his time and sincerity in helping me in an area I'm not familiar with. Our conversations have been pleasant and as a customer this builds confidence towards a shop that you'll like to deal with. My experience selling has been great! The prices he's offered are fair for the ones brought in. Looking forward to more visits in though I'm almost scared to get hooked again. ;) That's the way a business should be. Thanks! read more

Amazing new Comic Place close to home! First thought was Finally a Comic Book Store so close home? Now I can actually buy physical copies instead of having to go far to get one only to say F-it and not buy any at all. And now I come to the place maybe 2-3 times a week! But yea back to Atomic Comic: The store is New and Roomy. Great selection of Comic, I was able to find all and some new ones that I wanted. Owner is friendly as is his employee who is also very into comics and helps out with questions you want to ask. I like the membership perks the place offers in discounts and such. And also the option to buy Cover and Board with your comic on the spot so you got everything covered by the time you get home. They also have kids readings in Saturday and Card Games tables on Friday. I definitely recommend this to new and old readers to come and visit and make this your new shop if you live near by. read more

Atomic Comics - Hours & Info - Comic Books Near Me - Artesia, California

Awesome store !! Great selection of back issues, and they had the Fish playing! Great to see faith-friendly businesses in this state, especially a comic shop. Bought a bunch of JMS Thor back issues, and will definitely be returning. PS the customer service is beyond great. I witnessed an employee have to deal with a terribly rude customer who was practically yelling at him and wouldn't give him a break. I believe the issue was over cards or something. I patiently waited for her to notice I was ready to buy something, and the employee was very friendly toward me. Strength and blessings to this shop and its employees ! read more

Clean and new store with a dollar bin to sift through, a case full of collectible comics that are reasonably priced, back issues that have some oddball goodies, action figures, and tables for games. This place is going to make a lot of people happy. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in the area. read more
