I try to come to this shoppe every time I'm in Knoxville. It's got shit parking but that sort of lets you know the place can stay open in spite of obstacles and must have something to offer. My kind of comics through and through. Yards of long boxes, fair prices, and cool finds. I got 2 variants from my list barely above cover price, including bags and boards. I always find something for a friend and today was no different. Robocop POP at below eBay prices in mint condition. Even had two to choose from, by coincidence. Seems like a different person behind the counter every time but I always end up hanging around for conversations that I could stay all day for. Nice people here. read more

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! The store has LOTS of comics. SOME manga. LOTS of Action Figures and Statues(not sure exactly what it might be called). Some stuff is a little pricey, original price, or some are discounted. Not too bad, my husband and I found a couple of things we couldn't find at our area in Georgia. Great place. Would go back! read more

I was passing through the area and stopped at this place - it's a great local comic book store! We got there right when it opened at 11am and a few other people also arrived right away. The shop is a very good size, larger than most other comic stores I visit, complete with a back room for discounted comics and action figures. The new comic selection is pretty good - I'd call it mid-sized. They have a ton of back issues and a good amount of trades. But wow, the collectible figures are extensive! Many different sizes and styles from across comic book fandoms. The shopkeeper was wearing a mask and so were all other visitors. Shopkeeper was nice. I'd definitely go again! read more

Wasn't overly impressed with the selection of comics, though it is a large store. Staff were friendly enough. Just passing through the area, but probably wouldn't go back if in the area again. Pricing seemed a bit high, so didn't hang out long. read more

They have the largest selection of new comics and back issues in Knoxville. They're always really helpful too.

Wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable people! Always a pleasure shopping with them. Thank you!

, very small, no real comics. Not appealing. But other than that the place is good. Very organized, and some pretty good customer service. The owner is really nice. read more

The employees (noted in other reviews) were average comic book shop employees on my visits here - not impolite, but just leave you alone to find what you want. I've visited this store annually during my trips to various conventions in Knoxville, and typically my friends and I always leave with something. This latest trip, we found a few hard to find action figures very modestly priced. Overall, it's an average comic shop but is worth checking out for that one special item you've been hunting to finish your collection - it just might be waiting here! read more

This is a great comic shop, great customer service, great selection, and great prices! See something you want, and they don't have it? They'll order it for you. I'd highly recommend this shop to anyone in be area. Just make sure you use GPS if you've never been there before. Otherwise you may miss it driving on Chapman Highway. read more

Best comic store in Knoxville. This place has a large selection of back-issues, and a great selection of graphic novels, figurines, t-shirts and current comics. It also has a very large selection of $1.00 and $0.25 comics. Bill, the owner, is a great guy who is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this comic shop if you are in Knoxville. read more

My first impression was the owner was a nice guy. My 3rd visit I was wanting to sell a CGC rated "6.0" Aquaman #2 original series from the 60's and #3 from same series. He priced #3 at $30.00 which I turned down. While he was looking the price for #2 6.5 CGC score I was looking around a found 4 Sgt Fury and howling commands that I needed for my set. The value of all 4 maybe $35.00. I picked up comics no attempt to hide and walked to front of the store with books to my side to look at figurines. I was at display maybe 30sec and he called me back to the front. I asked him what the book was worth and he handed it back to me and said I don't know and don't come back to his store.I asked why's that and he said he didn't like the way I walked to the front with the books. I told him the books were to my side insight the entire time. Also, the comic your grading is worth more than these many times over. And why would I leave without my comic that's your grading? I told him I was gonna buy them. The comic he was pricing would've been at least $150 so why would I run out the store with four comics totaling $30 leaving the rest of the money? I thought that I would actually get the money from the comic I was selling and purchases but he didn't give me that chance. And he said I hope I am wrong about it and I tell him you are wrong and that it's not cool to discriminate like that. He did this in front of other patrons as well. If I had been stealing then it would have been deserved. But when your waiting for an item to be priced and you know you have money coming back to you your not suppose to look around? And if that's allowable if you find something you want can carry with you? I don't understand what's wrong with people today assuming that's the problem people assume and they don't know. Overall he's nice guy But he's not a good judge of situations. Also he judges people or their intent. The guy even shook my hand before I left and said i hope im wrong. if you actually thought someone was stealing from you would you want to shake their hand? You most definitely wouldn't say I hope I'm wrong would you. Assuming is one of the worst things anyone can do and to embarrass someone for nothing is just wrong. People shouldn't be treated as thieves because someone assumes something. Get your facts first. Oh by the way the Aquaman #3 I was offered $30.00 I took it to another store and they gave me $125.00. Now tell me who's the thief!!??!! read more

The staffs were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They got every back issue I was looking for. The staff packed every comics I bought in its individual plastic sleeve with a cardboard. Very happy with it. read more

Extremely helpful owner and staff. Largest backstock selection in Knoxville. Unlike many shops that have haggard books in their boxes, almost always find books in great shape as I am extremely picky on condition. This shop is well worth the trip no matter distance. read more

Bought a comic there and asked a question about a figurine I was looking for. The employee behind the counter was very condescending and talk to me like I was an idiot. I will never step back in that store again. Complete jerks. read more

The best comic shop in Knoxville. It's not as big as some, but Bill, the owner, is EXCELLENT. He's the reason why they've had my business for nearly fifteen years. He's nice and friendly to everyone, and he makes a special point to welcome and be nice to kids and women. He's well aware of the stereotype of comic shop employees, and he's absolutely NOT condescending or arrogant. He's generally working Tuesday through Friday, so that's when I'd recommend going. However, he does have a newer employee for weekends who's much nicer than some of his previous weekend people, so that's going to be a better experience than it was prior to 2018. read more

A huge variety of new books every Wednesday. Bill is super friendly and knowledgable. He will always help with special orders or back orders if you somehow or another missed an issue. The prices with his pull service are excellent! Comics Exchange is a jewel in the dented crown of South Knoxville! read more

I've been in here several times getting comics (all on Wednesdays, if anyone is curious) and I've never had a bad encounter with the staff. Some are more talkative than others, but none have outright ignored me and some have held engaging conversations with me. I don't have much to compare with, since it's the only comic shop I've ever been in (new fan) but in terms of general customer service in a shop it is wonderful! read more

Went there on two different occasions and was disappointed both times. The person behind the counter was incredibly useless and appeared highly bothered when asked questions about their comic books and supplies. Customer Service is non-existent - don't waste you time or money with this store. read more

The man that owns this place (I think his name is Bill) is extremely likeable and his personality and willingness to spend time just talking to his customers makes this place one of my favorite places to spend any amount of time or money. As hard as it would be to articulate every single thing that makes this place special, it is equally challenging trying to describe the other employee that somehow is permitted to interact with other humans. He is arrogant (for some reason that I can't imagine anybody wants to be around him long enough to find out), condescending, and often blatantly insulting and combative. I was so shocked the first time i witnessed this person's awful excuse for communication skills. Maybe he came with the property and as long as it is in business, the happiness vaccuum gets to steal a paycheck. He treats everybody like trash. He makes one of the happiest, most unique places I've ever been into an absolute drain on anything good. read more

Good selection of variant covers, which is a shame since the employees are extremely unfriendly. Not willing to negotiate a dollar on their steep markups. Don't say thank you or greet you politely. They ring you up and just hand you your stuff. Id try to hit every shop in town to make sure you can't already find what you're looking for before going to this shithole. read more

A truly fantastic comic book store with an incredibly helpful and friendly staff. I've been buying comics in Knoxville for twenty-five years and it is no exaggeration to say that this shop is heads and tails the best. Comics Exchange has a great and thorough collection of current issues, back issues, and trade paperbacks. Highly recommended! read more
