Out front, they have life-size figures of both classic and modern characters from movies and games -- and the contrast is wild. E.T. is standing right next to Art the Clown, which pretty much tells you what kind of place this is. You'll definitely want to take pictures. Inside the store, there's a huge assortment of games, toys, plush, collectibles, and pop-culture items packed into every corner. You'll find everything from modern fandom pieces to classic toys from the '80s, which adds to the fun of browsing. Some of the more common items can feel a bit overpriced, but it's also clear that some of what they sell is harder to find, so pricing likely reflects rarity on certain pieces. It's the kind of store where you're as much there to look around as you are to buy something. I ended up walking out with a cute Wolfman plush, so mission accomplished. Definitely a fun stop if you're into collectibles, nostalgia, or just want to see something different while at the mall.

Nice store. There a…read morelot of assorted selection of displayable items, shirts, figures, plushies, and other stuff - certainly enough to appease most. If Funkos are your thing, there's a very large selection of them here and the largest overall selection in the entire mall. Any staff I encountered were friendly. Located on the 3rd floor of the Palisades mall. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

Nice store. This is…read moreonly for in-store - I haven't gone to their website. There's multiple selections inside depending on what you're going for. There's an area for models/modeling kits, comics, figures, Funkos, Neca, and so on. There's a bit of everything inside. There's also a dedicated area for the card fad, including a sizable back room called 'ToyWiz Game Room', which seemed to be mostly Pokémon card stuff - I had no desire to go into the room since cards are not my thing, but it sounded like a grade school cafeteria in there and that loudness was all throughout the store. Without interest in about half the store, I found quite a lot of interest in the figures and collectables area. There's a good overall selection and several things I haven't seen in other similar stores. Naturally I needed to buy some stuff. Prices are what they are, but it's nothing I haven't seen elsewhere before or online. The displays were organized well and neat. There is plenty to look at and you can easily miss something the first time around, which I did. The lone employee in the front was friendly. There is a very small parking area in the front that has a few "30 minute" limit signs. I believe there is additional parking in the rear, but I didn't go back there. Overall a nice store I intend to return to if in the area again.

The people who work there have zero sports knowledge, and they barely know anything about TCGs either. They also have attitudes. I've yet to meet someone friendly there.

I genuinely love the selection of items in this store. It's one of the few places in the mall worth…read morechecking out everytime but I can't help but feel like I'm an inconvenience to the workers. I don't feel very welcome and that's fine cause I wouldn't expect customer service workers to smile and put on a false facade just for me but I also don't need to be treated with passive aggressive animosity for being a customer. I'm not sure if this would be a corporate thing but they might wanna find a way to do pick up orders too so people don't have to wait on line due to the fact that they have 3 registers and only 2 open, it would also help people like me who don't want to feel like an inconvenience to the workers who might wanna consider that it's just not that serious. Unionize or something, leave me out of it.

You just need to either look or ask for it. They have tons of comics, baseball cards, jewelry both real and costume. They have a butter churn that was amazing to see. I also found a piece of Star Trek memorabilia. I found 2 books I wanted to buy but they were expensive new. I explained I didn't want to pay more then 50% retail price for it. The lady explained that prices might be negotiable. Both books came out to much less then I was willing to pay. I walked out a very happy customer. They also buy everything they sell from instruments to sheet music from portraits to paintings. I was amazed at how organized everything was and how much the store actually held. Too bad I was l limited by the size of my bank account (which isn't much). Next time you are in the area, Stop in. It's always free to browse.

They line their back issues up on a shelf like a regular book shelf and some of them are slanted over. That being said, they arent always in pristine condition and are sometimes dirty.

They always have geeky music on too.

A very cool comic shop with a lot to offer for comic fans…read more With their ever-present Halloween decor and surprisingly organized interiors, Gotham Comics is not your run of the mill comic shop. From new issues to back log, everything has a neat and tidy place, making browsing quick and effortless. They place a variety of mid-level rare comics ranging in price from $15 to $40 near most of the comic shelves, which make for both excellent window shopping and dangerous impulse purchases. They have a nice selection of old and new comics, mostly from DC and Marvel, so Gotham might not be great if you're looking for more obscure or niche comic brands. Similarly, this is a comic shop first, and things like games have a small presence. I also have to mention the staff working at Gotham. The employee was super helpful, going above and beyond in looking for issues that I couldn't immediately find. He made my visit feel extra special. The only downside with this comic shop is that it isn't located closer to my home! Otherwise I'd go there every week!

Quaint little comic book shop that totally gives off the "local comic shop" vibe from the 90's…read more Take it for what it is, and don't expect it to have everything you're looking for. But if you're looking for mainstream new releases, chances are you'll find them on release day (maybe the week after too). Not too much else to look at, especially collectibles, so your visit will probably be a whole lot shorter than other comic book shops (which is better for your wallet). But if you're in the area and you're in a pinch for that new Batman comic, this is your place. It was a hot day when I visited and they just had a couple floor fans running. Nothing gets me out of a comic book shop faster than sweaty hands on loose/unbagged books. And for parking, expect to circle around a couple times (plan to pay for a meter). But service is super friendly and they take card. And like I said, for what it is/does it's still a 5 star place
