In the York, PA area visiting family and noticed this comic shop that was open on a Monday. Decided to stop by and check it out. Wow! This is one of the nicest comic/action figure/misc stores I have ever seen. Layouts were clear and grouped by interest. Displays were carefully designed with the collector in mind. The amount of stock is great, especially back issues. I saw something I've never seen before - ECs from the 50s!! One area that I am still collecting. Most stores only carry the later reprints. Nice, but none that I need at the time. There are separate displays for comics, magazines, action figures, sals items, suggested reading, and a nice area just for kids with a great selection. The manager was helpful,and very knowledgeable, and we had great conversations. There are multiple areas marked for sales prices, including several boxes of low priced comics and magazines. And especially of note: I read recently of the difficulty of finding new packs of Pokemon cards. Some dealers were charging $9 to $13 for the new packs, due to shortages. Comic Store West has them for $6, with a limited amount you can buy. That alone tells me a lot about caring and watching out for the consumer. If you are in the York area looking for comics, this should definitely be your first stop! Highly recommended. read more

See all

After trying nearly a dozen comic/game shops in the York-Lancaster-Harrisburg area, I can tell you that Comic Store West is my favorite. It has a bit of everything and the staff is always pleasant. Prices are reasonable compared to other local shops and they gladly order an extra copy of something just for you if you let them know in advance. read more

Great selection of comics and some great key books. They also have a nice selection of board games with a friendly staff!

They are always willing to order whatever is available, and don't mind spending time explaining different games. Game nights are varied, so there is something for just about everyone each week. Prices are typical for a local game stop, and they have discounted selection for comics and game. Also, if you're into miniatures, they have a great selection; including paints and other accessorie. read more

Comic Store West is located on the side of the building and can be missed if not paying attention. Store in the last few years has expanded into the space next door and uses that as a large open gaming area. New pull selection is good with a great graphic novel selection. Warhammer/gaming supply selection is good. They also have a fair selection of Manga. Where the store has really fallen off in the last few years is older comics. The longbox selection while organized is poorly presented. The bundles are also poorly presented. Wall book selection is nonexistent. Collectable's selection is also very random. Comic Store West is a store that feels like comics are an inconvenience and they stock them just because it's in the name. Perhaps it's time for a name change? This is not a bad local shop, but it's lost a lot of what previously made it stand out. There are better shops in the surrounding area. read more

The people there were very helpful in helping me select a first warhammer set. They host a class of some sort so people can learn painting techniques which had plenty of resources to help people learn. read more

Fantastic shop that's well run and well stocked. If you want cheap, generic, mostly manga and anime... go to a Big Box store. If you're interested in a wide variety of neat things - comics, games, systems, reasonable prices, and terrific customer service... head on over to Comic Store West. Most nights there is some sort of gaming or painting workshop, and there are contests as well. Two thumbs up for Brett and Scott. You guys rock. read more

Comic Store West - storefront for CSW, just before they moved in - Comic Books Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

I go here. I buy and browse comics. I leave. Warhammer people kinda-sorta scare me. They have a great selection of stuff, there is always some sort of music playing that is cool, and the two dudes who run it are cool. read more

Decent selection of MTG card sleeves and boosters. Not much as far as singles... The same cards have been in their case for years it seems. Not much Pokemon around, and no YuGiOh at all. Nice variety of board games,. Comic selection looks nice but I am into games only, do not care for superheroes. Do not ask questions a guy is working. It is likely the owner and he will likely talk to you like he doesn't want your business. You might as well turn around and leave if you don't see a woman at the counter. Both women they have hired are great and the only reason I dare come in for sleeves anymore. Other than that, the owner has got to work on his attitude if he wants people to actually want to step foot in there. I'm sure I'd spend more if he smiled or made a positive comment once in his life. read more

This is a great little store. One that surprisingly has been in business for over 30 years! Wow! The staff and clientele are friendly and always do there best to help you with whatever you need. They keep everything from RPG materials and Miniature Games to Collectable Trading Card games, and Comic books. It's pretty much everything you want in a gaming store! read more

Shopped here a few times, fairly pleasant experience each time. Today though I met who I imagine was the owner(unconfirmed, he was a middle aged man in a purple shirt), and our entire encounter together was condescending, arrogant and rude. I came in for a couple of singles and a pack of sleeves and was on the verge of just leaving them by the end. I had previously ordered a board game from them I will not be buying, and I certainly won't be going back for drafts, or for anything at all. A little social grace goes a long way towards not insulting the intelligence of your customers. read more

The store is large and has a wide variety of products. The staff is helpful and polite. There is a feeling of camaraderie that makes you feel welcome. Highly recommended. read more

Got back into Magic: The Gathering and picked up a ton of stuff here - been wanting to go to their game nights as well, but fate is conspiring against me on that. Lots of selection for magic and wargaming and roleplaying, along with a hefty amount of comics and graphic novels. Everyone there has been super nice, and they also get a thumbs up by having the miniature guy that is a Terry Pratchett fan. :) read more

I have been visiting Comic Store West for years. They are a great combination store. They carry Magic, Role Playing, Warhammer, Warmachine, Hordes, Clix, Flames of War, Comics, Graphic Novels, Non-Collectable Card Games, Board Games, the list goes on. The best part is the gaming tables in the back. There is plenty of room for several people to set up, and the terrain is top notch, plus they do not charge for using their stuff. Scott is a great painter if you are looking for custom work or tips on how to get better yourself. There is also a case of painted miniatures to ogle. The store is large, well stocked, clean, and comfortable. I enjoy going to spend time there. read more

I drive up from Baltimore several times a year to visit family, and I always squeeze in a visit to this store. They have great selections for comics and games, with a depth of selection that I don't find in a lot of closer store. The store is always clean albeit sometimes a bit untidy, the gamers in back get a bit loud sometimes but never - in my experience - profane or unpleasant, and the staff here has always been friendly. In brief: Great selection, good prices, clean store, friendly staff. I would recommend this store to everyone. read more

In my opinion, The Best Comic Book and Gaming Store in PA. Visit often. Make it a regular thing. Introduce yourself to the wonderful staff. Be sure to attend their events, which are a ton of fun. read more

Love this store- it's one of the most friendly and professional local game/hobby/comic stores I've ever been to. Don't let the warhammer folks scar you- the miniature wargaming is actually a facinating hobby. As someone who has collected comics, played collectable and non collectable card games, board games, miniature games and more I can tell you that this store is tops for all of the above. If they don't have what you need - ask- they can probably get it! MM read more

Great store, very nice and knowledgeable staff. highly recommend the store.
