What a neat little shop! The owner was a super friendly guy. Helped my husband find what he was looking for, chatted with us a bit, and was just generally a great guy. Which honestly doesn't seem to be the norm for the array of comic shops I've gone into with my husband. Well organized, knowledgeable staff. Will definitely be back whenever we're in town. read more

What a great place to find comic books while quickly being greeted by two of the friendliest dogs you'll ever encounter. The well ventilated space is filled with old and new comic lore that will delight your fancy and for sure restore your childhood excitement to hold on to secrets and mysteries that lie between the pages. Great finds and great prices! I've been back in just a week and will continue to keep coming back! read more

Comic Asylum - Comic Books Near Me - Palm Desert, California

This is a wonderful little shop. The owner was on duty when I arrived, and he was welcoming, kind, and knew his stuff. He gave me a great rundown of the stock, and even pointed out some stuff that fit the vague description of what I wanted. The organization here is excellent, and everything is clean, bagged properly, and easy to find. It's clearly a work in progress but the hard work shows. I visited this shop as well as the two most local shops to it, and this one is the only shop where I felt welcome, and able to shop. This is the best comic book shop in the palm desert area. The obly negative thing I can say is that I didn't get to meet the shop dogs! Great shop, great owner, and a great experience. read more

Very welcoming and doing a lot to foster a community of nerds here in Coachella valley.

Went here recently and by far the best customer service I was ever offered at a LCS. I chatted with the owner, he offered to re-order some comics I missed out on AND they constantly helped me find what I was looking for. I left with 20 books and a comic box with a big smile on my face knowing I was treated with upmost gratitude and finding the missing issues I needed at a great price! This is a place deserving of the drive for sure! I highly recommended Comic Asylum read more

Nice enough looking store but no prices on back issues. Not worth shopping if I have to ask them price on each item and they look it up on eBay. Too bad because I could spend but not wasting my time. Edit: I appreciate the response from the owner and that's their call. Personally I'm not wasting time pulling up books just to wait while they price off eBay. Second and last visit there. read more

Very welcoming and sweet workers, so many comics to choose from! And have an arcade machine! read more

Comic Asylum - Comic Books Near Me - Palm Desert, California

My 5 year old has never been to a comic book store, but loves Spider-Man, TMNT and the likes. He loved this place and was excited for everything in it! Free arcade game, and the lady whose name I cannot recall was extremely friendly! read more

Great selection and staff is friendly as well as knowledgeable. If in Palm Desert it's a must visit.

I don't have enough words on how welcoming this place is. My son goes through a comic craze every so often. We go here not knowing anything about what comic or where to start. The owner is welcoming, asks my son questions, helps him pick something he would like, understands the rating, never pushes books... I would recommend this place to any avid comic book reader or newbies like us. read more

I have been coming to comic asylum since I moved to valley. I love this shop and they truly care about their customers!

Just discovered this shop near my house. The owners are so cool, nice and helpful. It's been quite a few years since I been in the collecting space so I needed help picking out some good reads. Chix put together a fantastic group of comics for me. Really am glad I found this place! read more

Great little comic book shop. The gal working was super nice and helpful. The blind bags and Indy section are always my favorite and they had a great selection. I highly recommend this store. read more

Friendly Staff really love their work. Great atmosphere to browse and discuss the world of Comic Books. Very positive

Organized, but ridiculously overpriced. Only place I have ever seen who charge extra for B covers. Seriously?? Narcissistic and rude staff. They get mad if you support other comic stores in the area and don't shop exclusively with them. The moment you leave, they'll talk negatively about you. Shop elsewhere... read more

Goated comic shop. They're real ones fr ! I like the selection and the the customer service is amazing

This was my first visit to this shop and I absolutely was blown away, they have a great selection and had exactly what I was looking for. The lady behind the counter (didn't catch her name) was very helpful and gave me some great suggestions on other things I might like. I would absolutely recommend this comic shop to anybody that loves a nice clean well organized place to buy your comics. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much! read more

LOVE this comic store! I don't even live anywhere near Palm Dessert, but I was looking for a specific variant cover for a new comic and found them on Instagram. I messaged the owner, who got right back to me. She pulled the books I wanted, communicated with me consistently and shipped them to me quick. It was genuinely an amazing customer service experience that makes you appreciate small businesses. THANK YOU for being so awesome! I'll definitely buy again. read more

Went in after months of wanting to browse the place. I didn't get the persons name but they were so sweet and incredibly helpful! I went to look for a birthday present for a friend and they recommended great comics and help me find a good one :) such a cute place! great staff :) read more

Everyone Who works there is super cool. I have been waiting years for Moon Knight to get a new run... and yesterday Comic Asylum hooked me up with a super sick cover! This place rules ! thank you so much! read more

The most wonderful selection and employees in the Coachella Valley!!! They ship securely as well!!

This place is a rare gym in the desert. They have a great selection and the owner is well versed and even has stickers on her favorite picks. She also has a nice selection of girl centric comics. My daughter loves strong female characters, so this is a big plus. The prices are really reasonable except on this super awesome Willy Wonka signed pic. I totally understand why though because its an amazing piece. Totally stop by this place!! read more

New favorite comic shop in the desert. So well stocked, they have all the major titles, and a dope indie selection. I went in to pick up the new Doom Patrol and found it no problem. The owner Chick is also great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Don't skip over Chick's Picks either! They aren't just for the ladies, these are titles Chick thinks deserve extra attention and include great stuff like Moon Knight. I will definitely be back read more

I loved this place. Im not from the area so I was looking for a shop and happened to find this place. The young woman at the register was very polite and helpful. read more

Widest variety of comics, toys, sports, and collectibles. They have SIDESHOW TOYS!!!! I love this place. The set up of the store, the vibe, and the staff are all A+++. If they do not have what you're looking for, they will do their best to get it for you. Their variant selection is awesome. I highly recommend them if you're into the comic culture. read more

The best comic book shop in Palm Desert. Chix and her ladies will guide ANYONE to a comic they want or need. They are also kind enough to send you to another comic store if they don't have it or can't order it for you. I would give them more stars but it only goes up to 5. read more

First of all TONS OF SCOTTY YOUNG, very cool owners, always getting new variants, nice spot for comics! And I highly recommend to anybody who collects comics read more

Not sure how many comic book stores are left in the Valley but this one doesn't disappoint! Owner's are super friendly and they've got comic books and toys plus collectibles on display...A little small and hidden off some obscure street in Palm Desert but well worth the visit if you're in the area. read more
