They sold me a new mutants #1 comic witch I was so excited for and then I come home to see a water stain on it. It also to small and messy and it's overwhelming. read more

Chris is a awesome guy who is knowledgeable, genuine, friendly, and helpful. My kids age 9 and 12 and are into Pokémon cards and Chris has a good selection of individual cards along with different collectible packs. He is always nice with my kids and is very down to earth. He has great prices for card and comics supplies like top loaders too. He also has a great selection of comics and would highly recommend this place. Yes, the place is smaller but we are in the Bay Area and who really cares if he has what you are looking for, just don't be shy to ask. So happy we found this place and looking forward to making many memories with my kids. I collected comics and can appreciate shops like this. read more

Went here with my family and had a great time with Steph! Thanks for the great experience

This review is overdue but I felt the need to recognize and let anyone bunkered at home that this is the BEST comic store I ever visited and am happy to be a subscriber at. Chris is super knowledgeable and will work with you to help get what you need. They also have other collector items such as Pokemon TCG. Now with the pandemic crisis, Chris is willing to do delivery for you. If you're looking for convenience and a place to start yourself in comics this is the place to be!!! read more

My brother started bringing my sons here for comics. My boys love it and buy pokemon cards here and special hard to find cards. Pokemon tournaments on the weekend. A nerds dream. Closed on Mondays. I like that we still have a place like this near by. read more

Chris's Comics - Comic Books Near Me - Newark, California

Called in to see if they carried tcg products before I took a strike down ( I'm from Oakland area ). The gentleman who answered seem to be frustrated with me asking about 3-5 questions and proceeded to ask if I could wait since he was already helping a customer--I said no worries, he then put the phone down and complained to someone about me asking question after question. That being said, if it's too much trouble to answer a few question, I will never do business here. read more

I buy my comics from here. I walked in and had called ahead, picked up my justice league 2021 and Thor comic. I look forward to going back to pickup my monthly issues. read more

I can spend hours digging in this shop. I came with a list of old comics I wanted to look for; found some and also came out with some other good stuff. Chris is a very friendly guy and can talk comics with you till kingdom come. He also insisted on throwing in some good deals on my comics. What other comic shop does that??? I came here all the way from SF and I'll definitely be coming back! A little messy but that's apart of its charm. Feels like you're going to your friends house to hang in his bad ass room. finally found a real comic shop in the bay! Really cool place. read more

If you're into comics, pokemon, and manga..this is definitely a place you should check out!!! Great prices and a lot of items to choose from plus staff is super friendly! Definitely going again. read more

Chris's Comics - Comic Books Near Me - Newark, California

I ended up spending an hour in here out of the blue (after getting a haircut at Madhouse next door, also 5 stars)! Chris was really fun to chat with, so enthusiastic and friendly! I had a blast in here. The store was full of DS players, and there was a huge stash of Pokemon cards! The store was admittedly quite jammed packed with stuff, some inaccessible, but I considered it more like a treasure hunt. I imagine the inventory Chris must be keeping in his head! Very fairly priced and I walked away with some loots! read more

Love the customer service, Chris will go out of his way to get you the best price. He explains everything to the T. Got a lot of my favorite pokemon cards for me and my daughter. My wife bought me my favorite child hood toy here.. WOLVERINE. I have been here 4 times and will continue to come here. read more

I feel very welcome here and the owner is very friendly. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of comics. I walked out of the store satisfied I got my money's worth of comics. read more

Went into the store to trade 21 cards that are worth $184.27. Took Chris 40+ minutes to go through them and after he was done, he handed me the cards that he SAID he was interested in, as their top loaders were taken off and the rest were handed back to me. So I believed he only wanted 10/21 cards worth $106. I gave him the number $85, 80% market value and he said he was thinking $65, so we met at the "middle" at $70. He then said ALL the cards were worth the $70, the cards that he said he was uninterested were suddenly in the deal. That is 38% of market value, I thought Legends, AN ESTABLISHMENT was robbing me, but my LGS that only offered 38%? And what do you know, 2 hours later my cards are posted on his Instagram, the first slide alone was $95. Do not come here and waste your time, store is clumped and messy, what a joke. Trade in value was $70, total was $71, after offering 38% of market value, asked me if I had a dollar on me LMFAO. TLDR: Wasted 40 minutes to trade in 21 cards, offered $70 for 10 cards just to say all 21 cards were worth $70 total. Top 5 cards were worth $85 alone. read more

Great comic shop! Been here several times and the staff is very helpful if you need assistance. Came in today for some Spawn back issues and asked if they had more Spawn. The staff were quick to get the Spawn box out for me look through which had a nice amount of older issues. Love the vibe and friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back and would recommend this store to any comic collector who's looking to fill the gaps in their collection. read more

My boyfriend and I were both looking for comics to add to our collections that we were having trouble finding elsewhere. We popped into Chris's Comics and not only did we find some of the things we needed, but other cool things that the owner suggested! And he didn't hesitate to offer to call around and find/order the other things we were missing, very helpful and honest and friendly. He knew a lot about things we were interested in and had many facts and tidbits about them that we didn't know before - he's super knowledgeable. Other than that, there are TONS of things here; action figures, graphic novels, etc. And (...what seems like!) thousands of boxes of comics to look through. An awesome place to find something old, something new, something interesting! Definitely my favorite local comic book spot. read more

This is place is awesome!!! Chris is a real cool guy and a brother to me! He has all the cool stuff and I love spending money at his store and will special order the comics that you want. His store is like a home to me and I special order the comics that I want. He is like a brother to me!! Thanks Chris! read more

Chris's Comics - Stayed out until 11:30pm hanging out at Chris's with wife and 7 year old. - Comic Books Near Me - Newark, California

I haven't been to a comic book store in years. This is a okay average comic book store. There's not a lot left. They do seem a bit run down, but they are pretty friendly. Pro: They offer me discounts on my comic books without me asking for it. I guess it depends how much I buy that day. Friendly environment and they do keep me up to date with the industry since I've been out of it for so long. Con: They don't have some of the titles I was looking for. When asked they said they would tried to get them, but after going back a couple of times for updates on the book I wanted, they don't seem to remember that I was waiting for them to get it. At least they did direct me to another comic book shop that may have it, which they did. read more

This place is still an amazing place to go to for your Comics, figures, and cards needs. Chris is still a very kind and awesome owner of this business. All of the wares he sells are priced fairly (compared to the current market) and he will never hang you out to dry and try to pull a fast one on you. If there's any issue you have with what he sells, he's always more than happy to talk to you about it and resolve whatever issue there is. I pop into his shop whenever I can and he always greets his customers with a smile :) 10/10 will keep my business here! read more

Being new to the comic scene, I felt welcomed and very informed by Chris, he's very knowledgeable and experienced and great customer service and good hours, so I'll be back to spend some more dough with him for sure. read more

If I'm honest, I am one of the owners of Green Machine Comics in Newark. Chris should technically be our rival but he still showed up in our store the first week we were open and offered us advice and helped us get access to things we would have difficulty finding as a new store. He and his staff firmly believe that a rising tide lifts all boats and they are honest and forthright in how they treat other store owners and customers. We love Chris's Comics and we treat them like a sister store, because they treat us like family. read more

Chris was a cool guy. Gave me some good deals. Which a lot of comic shops wouldn't normally do, especially if they dont know you. But he was very helpful. My only complaint is that the shop is a little small. I'm sure he has inventory to run a much larger shop. Keep up the good work. I'll be back. read more

What can say but it's the best comic shop in the bay. People in the shop are kind and approachable. Awesome collection, fair prices and comics are bagged and boarded on display. Love this shop and I'm missing it already. I bid them more success. read more

Stumbled onto this little gem pretty much by accident, and I'm glad I did! Made Some great nostalgic purchases and even my two kids racked up a dozen comics a piece! I met Chris during my second visit, and that experience established me and my family as loyal ongoing customers. Thanks for making us feel welcome Chris! Great place! read more

I came looking for Top Loaders and card selves, the worker was really nice and knowledgeable about the high demands, had great conversations about what was going on in the TCG industry. Also what really caught my attention was he also sells and trade loose Pokémon Cards which was a really cool thing to see. Overall 5 stars thanks for the great experience read more

Incredibly helpful staff, could definitely spend hours going thru all of their inventory

Awesome store! Great selection! Been out of the comic book loop. Can't help but to be nostalgic.

a fantastic guy and an awesome shop! he will give you the time of day. he was super helpful and answered any questions i had. will be returning! read more

Wow...what a dump. Just a bunch of guys sitting around a table playing a game. No care in the world that I was even there. This is a mess. Didn't even see a counter or cash register to even buy anything. Go somewhere else. What a wasted trip. 0 stars. read more

My girls love coming to this hidden gem. It's behind the KFC on Fremont Boulevard. Stopped by here this past Saturday for more Pokemon cards for the little one and Comics for the teen. Chris was so nice to my little one, and encouraged her to play in the Pokemon tournament. As we drove away, the teen said "I really like coming to this place. He never treats me like a stupid gamer girl that knows nothing about comics, and he's always so nice to Yanna (my little one) and doesn't treat her like a little kid." I'm happy that my kids feel welcomed here. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable, too! read more

This is the best comic book shop around. I like to support local businesses and highly recommend you go here. Chris is very friendly and works with the customers. The new shop is much bigger and has a very impressive layout. Couldn't ask for a better owner than Chris! read more

Great selection of comics, So good I tend to lose track of time looking through everything. They have many collectible comics and memorabilia as well. I didn't know about this place until coming across it on yelp. I'm glad I found it. read more

Chris and Heather run the shop very well. They are very knowledgeable about products and take time to get to know their customers. Highly recommended for comics and hobbies alike!! read more

From San Jose, came all the way out to Fremont to explore their comic shops. I was very satisfied with chris's collection of silver, bronze age comics. Best comic shop in Fremont by far! Found a few key issues i couldnt find anywhere else. And got a great price. Made my day! read more

By far one of my favorite places to visit in Fremont when I need my comic book fix. Staff is very friendly and knows a lot about the comics they sell. I'd definitely recommend this shop to anyone who enjoys great customer service and wide selection of comics. read more

If you have the patience, then yes, go here. If you don't, then this place is actually worth making time for and planning ahead. Keep in mind that there are a lot of comics, the only down side is that you have to dig for them. So expect to be here for over an hour going through boxes if your looking for anything in particular. And keep in mind that most of their items are based off the average prices on ebay without the shipping or better. Also, make sure you deal with Chris directly and no one else. He's actually a cool guy. He is very friendly and will help you find things if you are looking for anything specific. The few times I called to ask if he had something in stock, he would actually stop what he's doing and give you the time of day to find your item and put them on hold. He even creates a great atmosphere for teens and young adults. I came in one time and just saw a bunch of his customers hanging out and watching tv. It's good to know that he would rather have them hang out in his shop watching tv, rather then having them out in the street doing things they shouldn't be doing. What a great way to invest in today's youth. read more
