    arcade inside
    Jay P.

    Comic shop + Arcade, cleverly placed right next to the AMC for easy time-burning before or after a movie. We got a rare movie-night and thanks to Comic Hero University we found some nice books for our kids. Inside is neat and clean with new releases clearly displayed along the walls and back issues in the center. The back issues are spaced with breathing room and not packed in dense making it harder to flip through, you can also pull out sliding drawers on bottom to find even more comics. The unique touch is a good artists created pencil sketches of superheroes telling you to look below for more, the drawings are very well done! The small arcade has a small collection of fighting games and classics, love the constant sounds of nostalgia in this area. Some of the more popular fighting games are against the outside windows to draw in crowds from epic matches.

    Cool hidden comic book store right outside of AMC theaters in fullerton. Needs better signage outside the store (there's none). Great selection and vintage arcade games.

    This business received the Dr. Jon seal of approval.

    This shop has done a fine job of appealing to a wide slection of fans. It has modern books and a nice backlog of older titles to fill in the gaps on your collections. You may not find everything you want but what you will find will be in excellent shape and available at a reasonable price. Some shops tend to overprice variants or gouge their foot traffic. That doesl not happen here. The owner Is nice and knowledgable, and if he can't help you himself - he is glad to direct you elsewhere. I enjoy owners who are also fans of the art and medium. I could not recommend more highly. Dr. Jon (the comics guy)

    I got a book for a friend's birthday out of state, but he had literally just got it. Called the owner, and he said they don't accept refunds, only store credit. The cashier never mentioned it. The book is still in the bag it came in with receipt. Disappointed, wanted to like this place. They said because it's a collectible and the they don't know the condition. Asked if I could bring it in and show, didn't even acknowledge that option, only said could possibly give store credit. Honest opinion, use Amazon. They always accept returns.

    The entrance

    Comic Hero University has a great look, inside and out. I really like the look from outside and the inside is just as aesthetically pleasing (especially the arcade room). They didn't have the TPB's I was looking for, but I found and bought a couple of things that caught my attention. They have great deals like $5 TPB's and $1 single issue deals. The owner, Enrique, and another employee were helpful and funny. As I was shopping, they had a movie playing and they making fun of some movie and soundtrack cliche's. I cracked up a few times and felt welcome after that. Comic Hero University is an excellent shop, I'll be coming back for sure!

    little arcade
    Ryane O.

    I dont know much about comics but this place was pretty cool. Lots and lots of comics to dig through. They're all organized alphabetically so thats a huge help. In the back is the little arcade. Games are a quarter or two. I mean I suck at pinball but it was a lot of fun pretending that I knew what I was doing! Man who was working was quiet but friendly, so that was great.

    See all

    Just not a fan of this place. They have a good amount of back issues, but the staff is clueless and it's a Mickey Mouse operation.
