It's a fine enough store with a good selection, but the guy behind the counter seemed irritated…read morewhen I asked about their pull list system. I tried to register online and ran into issues; when I went back in, it felt like more of a hassle for Mr. Beanie-Glasses-¿Chin-Strap-Beard? (hard to really remember). This kind of dismissive behavior isn't uncommon in comic book shops. Having been a regular reader for years, I can confidently say there's a certain hipster element embedded in comic culture that lacks the self-awareness that the "better-than-you" attitude is a dime a dozen. I place my weekly pulls with Casablanca Comics, where the staff are not only enjoyable to talk with, but actually remember your name and want to help. This shouldn't discount the efforts of the other, surely more personable employees--nor at least a visit or two to check out their selection--but it definitely detracts from any kind of regular patronage.

I visited Coast City Comics during my recent vacation to Maine. It was a cold, rainy day - my first…read moreday in Portland - so I was looking for cool, fun things to do. The actual name of this place is: "Coast City Comics & The Fun Box Monster Emporium." There is a ton of comic books, games, action figures, and related "stuff" crammed into this place. There are a number of pinball machines stuffed into the back of the shop. Very cool comic book shop. I think they need a bigger space! #CoastCityComicsAndTheFunBoxMonsterEmporium

This morning, my wife and I finally planned to go check out their space for the first time. What more could you truly ask for than a cafe/coffee shop meets bookstore meets beer bar! My wife is more of an avid reader than I am so she enjoyed the book aspect more. They have a large menu of offerings drink wise with everything you'd expect from a coffee shop. I do wish they did a rotating seasonal special drink menu, as places usually have one or more great sounding drinks on those. Both my wife and I settled on an iced blueberry latte. Overall it had hints of blueberry and tasted more like milk than anything. Would not be rushing back for it specifically that's for sure. Food wise they have some in-house baked goods as well as bagels from Rose Foods and corssiants from Little Spruce Baking. My wife got a plain bagel with cream cheese while I grabbed a chocolate croissant. I did mess up by not requesting it be warmed up but it was still delicious! Will be finding more spots that have goodies from Little Spruce. The bagel was also tasty. Book wise my wife enjoyed browsing but did not find any books she needed to grab. She did enjoy reading a couple chapters of her current book while we sat by the large windows (good spot for world watching outside). We enjoyed our visit but have other spots we would be happier to visit again.

This was a wonderful comic book store established in a basement setting, with wooden frame shelves…read morefilled with lots of comic books. The variety span across all different realms and universes, Marvel, DC obviously and some other less known ones. They also had sets of comic books, big posters, Pokemon cards. All the items had a decent price, the sets were little high price, since they were combination of a bunch. We bought a kids story book for our daughter, it was about Loki. The gentleman at the register was super friendly. The POS machine wasn't working, so we paid cash. Overall it a nice store to visit for comic fans.

We were wondering at Portland downtown and stumbling upon this hidden gem…read more Casablanca was located at the basement level. Some DC and Marvel's posters by the entrance. I already knew it was gonna be a good place. Kids section at the front. My 5yo picked out "Loki Loki where are you?" She loves it!! Many collectible items and comics through out the store. Posters wrapped and boarded nicely for carrying out. I would say the price is fair for the collectible. Loki book was maybe $7? The guy at the counter was very nice. I didn't ask any questions but I saw him directing a young lady to a specific section. Overall it's really nice and relaxing in the store. Spacious and quiet.

Oh no I do understand that a different customer might have put that book in the wrong box BUT when…read moreI went back to look at your past issues you had like 4 long boxes sitting there and I asked how much are these you said there ALL $1 boxes I could also tell from the condition that most likely that was a book that you received when it was new it didn't sell so it made it in the $1 box as most do but that one just happened to go up a little bit in the 10 years it had been sitting in your store ! And like I stated before you came at me with the Mint Condition value ($15) which it clearly wasn't it was probably worth $7 so the fact that you couldn't give up a few dollars on a book that you most likely paid less then cover price 10 years earlier that's ridiculous all that aside I remember very clearly you saying oh that shouldn't have been in that box that should've been back here (pointing behind you on the wall) ! So your excuse isn't gonna fly ! Either way your a used item store so when you buy something from someone you only pay a price low enough so you can turn around and sell it for a profit right ? So what I'm saying here is let's say you buy an item for $20 and it's worth $40 at the time so $20 profit right ? That's good double your money so why is it so bad for you to just put that $40 on the item and leave it there your still getting the original profit you were originally fine with but your way of thinking is if that item went up $10 YOU need to get that extra $10 instead of letting what could be a loyal customer get a good deal and you still get the profit you intended from the beginning this is what I was trying to express to you in my last review I mean you have MANY items in your store that have been there for YEARS ! I'm not saying if you paid $5 for an item then it sky rockets to $500 to still sell it for $10 but I mean if you let that go for ....$300 then wouldn't you say you both win you only expected to get the original $10 but got $300 then your potential RETURN customer got an amazing deal to which you know he would brag about to EVERYONE! I'll leave this here I think I've made my point hopefully everyone understands what I was trying to get across ??
