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.

No snarky looks, eye rolls or cold shoulders here. The barrier for entry to reading comics is already intimidating as is what with all the crazy intertwining, interconnecting continuities and universes, so Ryan and the crew understand the importance of facilitating a welcoming community right from when you step through the door. Everyone here will jump at the chance to talk comics and throw out their recommendations regardless if it's your first time or a regular. P.S. all the poor reviews from nearly a decade ago and beyond are from before ownership changed hands. None of them are indicative of the amazing experience you'll have coming into the shop today.

I mean if you haven't visited frank and son... are you really a true nerd? I don't think so. I've…read morebeen to Frank and son since they were located at the previous location when I was kid. That place felt massive. This location does feel a little smaller, but it's still massive. Plenty of vendors and variety, some shady vendors that will overcharge too much or just be plain rude, but overall it's a great experience as you will find very niche and interesting/weird stuff. You will also find vendors selling things for great prices. Make sure to bring cash and most vendors will give you a discount. The only downside is even with the ridiculously large parking area, it STILL fills up every single day. It's literally always busy, so prepare to walk a lot. Always fun to visit every once in a while.

One time, I was looking at buying some TCG cards, when a guy bought a whole booster box, opened them all, picked out the couple cards he wanted and asked the vender if they wanted to buy the rest back. Vender refused, so I offered $20 for everything. It was amazing. Now, it's gotten way too commercial for my liking. Everything cost way more than they should, and You can't find a deal anywhere. Last week, I came in looking for a couple MTG to fill out my cEDH deck. Seller says they price things competitive off TCGPlayer website, and then quoted me $6over the tcg price for a $20 card. He says they have to charge more since the booth costs them money. So... I could just buy online, save the upcharge, and you will have to pay for shipping? Thanks but no thanks.

The walls are lined with funko pops of real people as well as fictional characters, there are t-shirts, action figures and toys, and just generally cool geeky things to buy.
