This the kind of comic book shop that most of us search for but never find. For longtime and new fans, you'll not only find a great selection to choose from but honest and real help from an extremely knowledgable owner. I haven't collected comic books in years but it looks like I have discovered the place to start the addiction back up in. read more

I've never been to a comic book store before, but I wandered into this one and was so impressed with the vastness of inventory. I saw characters that I know and love, but also new ones that haven't made it to mainstream media yet. So cool and I loved being able to browse and check them all out. read more

On Google Maps it is labeled as a bookstore. Yes, but ONLY comic books as the title implies. No regular books FYI.

Rob is so nice!!! This comic shop is super cute and has an amazing selection of comics and graphic novels. There's such a welcoming vibe here and something for everyone! read more

Bottom Line: Neat, organized and interesting. I wandered into Capital Comics with a friend while we were shopping Main Street. I know next to nothing about comics. This was my first time in a comic store and I enjoyed it. Being on Main Street, the store has a quaint storefront and delightfully creaky hardware floors. The store was clean and organized. I looked around at the comics, books, games, trinkets and such. My friend, who knows way more about comics than me, noted this was a really nice comic store. She bought some comics for her family and I bought a new card game and we were on our way. It was a bit busy when we were in there and it seems like the employee was on guard in the back of the store where the register is located so there wasn't much in the way of a greeting or service. I'd gladly pop in to this small business again to see what catches my eye but I don't foresee me becoming a comic connoisseur. read more

Fair warning... nerd alert ahead: I have never encountered anywhere that has had the complete Sandman series in stock before. Not Border's. Not Barnes and Noble. And not any used bookstores (yep, I was just in one not 48 hours ago in the East Bay). Capital Comics does. In fact, they have multiple copies of some of the books in the series, in addition to an absolutely astounding enormous collection of various other comics. A whole rack of new Marvel books. A wall of more recently released comics. And this is not to mention the boxes of what appeared to be old used comics as well. Top this off with a staffer that not only confirmed for me that there are only ten books in the Sandman series - for some strange reason I thought there were a dozen - he also offered a rundown of an additional few supplemental graphic novels that Gaiman had written called Dream Hunters. How's that for being in the know? read more

Great selection, excellent customer service, chill atmosphere. If they don't have what you want you'll either find something similarly or better or the store will do their best to order your selection. read more

Wandered in to this shop while exploring downtown Annapolis, and I am SO glad I did. They have an amazing selection of all kinds of comic books and graphic novels. I was able to find a collected edition of Captain Marvel that I had been searching for for over a year! I can finally read my comic books again without feeling like I will miss out on part of the story (I had issues 1, 2, 3, and 5, and now I finally found 4!). The guy at the counter was super friendly. So happy with my purchase and my experience in this shop. read more

Smaller than many comic book stores but with a great selection in what they do manage to stuff in here. Lots of versions of the current or recently current comics, plus some books and a few statuettes and other small trinkets. Helpful and organized. It's a good shop! read more

My second real retail comic book store and I have to say I was impressed and even bought a hardcover comic book. My first ever comic book. Great store. Fun and helpful staff. Check it out when in Annapolis. read more

I went here in free comic day (May 5th, a Saturday) with a friend. Since it was Saturday downtown was packed, and adding on free comic day, the small store was also packed. Which is to be expected, outside of the store there were people dressed in costumes. This brought in a lot of tourist kids with their parents, and the employees handled them well, reminding them not to run, and to keep food away from the books. I went in looking for Snotgirl comics, and the employee I spoke with was knowledgeable and told me which issues I was missing, which saved me some time! On top of that they also had an indie comic I saw on amazon and planned to buy. I'm so glad I saw it here, I would much rather support local business! In all, they had a big selection for the amount of space in the store. I really want to come back next time I come downtown! read more

The people are always so incredibly nice and helpful! They have a large selection of comics and if they don't have what your looking for-they can get it in for you! Also, they have activities going on sometimes that makes it a fun experience! Great place! read more

On Main Street in Historic Annapolis, most places of business are bars, restaurants, gimmicky souvenir shops, and a few chain stores. Sticking out is a comic book store: Capital Comics. It's not very big, but they manage to cram in a very impressive amount of books, toys, busts, shirts, and so on. Everything you'd think should be in a comic book store is here. A place like this shouldn't survive in this area, surrounded by overpriced tourist traps. But it's still there. I felt compelled to buy something, so I picked up a green Batman shirt for $20. A few washes later, it still looks like new. The girlfriend happened to be with me, and she bought some Muppet comics. Seeing as how we were both happy with our purchases, I think you would be, too. read more

I don't think I've ever been in a comic book store so I don't have much to compare this place to except what I see when I watch Big Bang Theory. There is a table with $1.00 comics, back issues, new issues, and a cart with sale items. There are toys, comics, clothes, and other miscellaneous items. When I visited this past weekend, there were six other customers besides my boyfriend and me. The place is pretty quiet and a little dark but otherwise, it's A-OK. read more

Walked into the store to by my nephew a Christmas present. I was working from a list of titles but needed some help finding them. The gentleman behind the counter jumped out and walked me over to exactly what I was looking for. Awesome service! I wish I received service like that everywhere. He was extremely informative and have me a couple of additonal gift ideas that i know my nephew is going to love. It's a great store that deserves your business - I base a lot of my review just on the way we were treated while we were there. read more

I'm very impressed. I went into Capital Comics looking for a gift for my 5 year old nephew and the staff member who was working there was extremely helpful. He helped me find a Calvin and Hobbes book and an Indiana Jones action figure that my nephew at least acted like he enjoyed. A very pleasant experience. read more

The best place in Annapolis, MD for comics. 'Nuff said! However, Yelp tells me the review is too short so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. read more

Had exactly what I needed and it was the new Brickleberry comic which was sold out online and in most comic book stores.. It was a busy Saturday and the cashier took me over and found it for me.. Great customer service and good selection.. Happy customer read more

This place is a gem to find! They have a great assortment of comic books and other items. I found so much wonder woman stuff I was like a kid! The owner Billy Vogt was so nice and helpful. I would drive from DC to Annapolis to check this store out again. A must see for all levels of comic book fans! read more

Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Large selection of new comics, figures and graphic novels. Small selection of back issues, but that is due to space not due to the quality of service. A good shop to get in to comics. read more

Best comic book store on the east coast. Friendly staff. Wide assortment of comics and graphic novels.

If you are looking for a comic store in Annapolis, this is a great place. They consistently have the new comics I want, a fine trade selection, and a good choice of older comics. The true value of this place is the staff. They are friendly and can actually answer questions about the books you want to read. Some comic stores may have more old books, but this store has the one thing that I value in a store, a friendly and reliable staff. I hope you come to this place and find some new books to read. read more

What can I say? This is my go to comic book store! They have excellent selection. They are especially good at getting trade paper backs. The comic book guy pays attention to what you like and recommends other titles you might like. Think Amazon, but a human being. And then there's Walter, the lovable chocolate Lab! read more

Went in there looking for an obscure comic, they didn't have any in the store but ordered one for me and held it until I could swing by again. Great service! read more
