Thank goodness for 4th Wall…read more The owners are all fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable, and really know how to make their customers feel welcome and happy. The comics along the wall are newer (#1s are all the way toward the back of the store), and on the shelves you can find what you're looking for by imprint and then title. All the big names are there -- Marvel and DC -verse standards, Walking Dead, everything Brian K. Vaugh has ever done. Older issues are in $.50 boxes that are fun to dig through. If there's something you don't see, they're able to put in an order for you. We did that for a specific series my daughter was looking for (Phoebe and Her Unicorn), and we received a call a week or two later that it was ready for pick up. On one of our early visits, my daughter and I were having a conversation lamenting the lack of lead female characters that weren't just eye candy or a "girl" version of the something-something-"Man" version. She loves comics, but is still just an impressionable 9-year-old and isn't ready for some of the nuanced or complicated story lines, love trysts, and often over-sexualized imagery found in comics. Jared joined in our conversation and introduced us to Lumberjanes (which we adore), Smile, and Squirrel Girl. Since then, we've also found Silk, Princeless, Nimona, and Ms. Marvel. And I can't remember if it was him or Jim who introduced me to East of West, but his recommendation for me was just as spot-on as for my daughter. East of West is now one of my go-tos, along with Saga, Rat Queens, Papergirls (yes, yes, I'm an Image fan), Black Panther, etc. Find a series you like? Sign up for a subscription -- you can come pick your issues up at your convenience. Looking for more than just comics? There are tons of Funko pops (whole shelving section) and more high-end statuary (glass case at checkout) for the collectors, a small section for kid-appropriate (reasonably priced) comics, and all sorts of fun games along the wall opposite the new comics (board games, card games, D&D, etc.). The store has recently expanded, and now their gaming space is contained in a separate section, opening up more room in the "main" store for comic boxes and displays. If you're interested in gaming, check out their Facebook page or Instagram account. They're pretty active, and you'll find info on upcoming events.

The shop is located in the Weis Markets part of the center and has plenty of parking. New space is similar in layout to the Mechanicsburg location. One wall of the shop was covered by various collectibles including Pop Vinyls and a good new pull comic selection. Long boxes with a fair selection of back issues line the shops other wall and above them are some of the shops less valuable wall books. The most valuable wall books are located behind the counter on the wall, but they are more than willing to let you search though them. A good selection of trade paperbacks is located in the back middle of the shop on shelves. Make sure to check out the full size Spider-Man in the back corner. Staff member was pleasant to chat with. Overall it's a good shop, but I would say the selection at the Mechanicsburg location is a little better in terms of long boxes and wall books. Still worth a stop if you're in the area.

The best comic store!!!!! (Simple statement, five exclamation points, so there)…read more Super friendly "counter monkeys" who really know their stuff (I learned things about Peter Parker I wish I hadn't) and provide the best customer service I've ever experienced. Go ahead, ask them anything, and within seconds you'll get a lesson in comic history like no other. They will also work their tails off to find anything you need, whether it takes a call to their sister store or to the distributor. Forgot to pick up a comic on Wednesday? No problem, call and ask them to put it in your box. Oh yeah, they have a subscription service, so you'll never miss out again. Special events sprinkled throughout the year give you a chance to save big and connect with local artists and the owners. You'd be surprised how many local artists live in York and how many of them make Comix Connection their "home." That means while you are saving big on Free Comic Book Day or during an anniversary sale, you get spectacular sketches and tons of signed books. And the owners are real gems. They continually give back to their customers and the community. And that's what really sets this store apart: when you come here, you truly feel like part of a community. As a lapsed comic book reader, that really made the difference.

I loved it so much, the staff was cool and friendly to me, the owner was nice, and would give me advice on how to correctly care for my comics by NOT putting thumbtacks into them and hanging on my wall. He introduced me to card backs and bags for that. Also, I learned to NEVER laminate a comic book!

They had a large store with clearly labeled although crowded, aisles of comic, anime, cartoon, manga, clothing, and other items. This store is clearly a comic book lovers dream with a library of new and vintage ones that were for sale. They even had a basement area filled with comic books to purchase in bulk and video games to play.

This isn't a snoody insider shop, where an angry neckbeard will laugh at you for not knowing your Image from your Darkhorse. These folks are happy to help anybody with their first venture into comics, or will kindly leave the veterans to browse. They will set up a pull-list for you, if you want to keep up to date on the latest issues, which is even easier and more convenient to do from home if you use Facebook or Instagram. Just follow their posts and comment on their new release postings to pre-order anything in advance. And my favorite Sunday activity is following their weekly "Claims," where they feature new-to-the-store key issues and bundles at great deals. It's also a great spot for Free Comic Book Day and Halloween. They have some back issues, including some nice expensive finds on the wall and behind the glass, but since it's not the biggest shop in the world, you could probably look elsewhere for that. The customer service and atmosphere is what I come for, though, so it's my first and primary destination for new books.

Books are located on both levels of the shop, and they have one of the larger used selections you'll find at an independent shop. Other media for sale also include various movies and comic books.

Seems like nothing can get done or put away due to old men making up most of the staff. Since most of the comics are covered and inaccessible you're left to stare at heavy opened boxes that should've been put up 6 months ago. But they scold you for looking through them and will not sell them to you and will treat you like you're opening a prerelease even if the comic came out in July! Terrible customer service from the older men and they take their smoke breaks at the entrance. The only nice employe is a younger woman. Figurines are bootleg, nothing with official seals but will range 200+ dollars! INSANELY overpriced pokemon cards, scalper pricing!!! Not a safe space for women, I will not be returning.
