Wow! Great selection of comics. Brian was really nice and gave me posters to give to my third grade students as prizes. Very nice gesture. Will continue to visit, for my comic needs. read more

Nice place. Friendly staff, UNTIL you glance through the pages of an open book! NEVER been told I can't look through a comic book in a comic book store! I collect. So, I get it. Quality. But if I'm shopping for a graphic novel, I'd like to know if it's gonna be worth dishing out $25 before I just "take a gamble." read more

On the road in Salinas and needing something to kill time I decide to check out a local comic book store. I find Current Comics just a mile done the road. Great store! I spent a couple hours talking comics with Nick and he's really knowledgeable. He was able to answer every question I had about the books and even found every book I was looking for. When they were sold out of one of them he even check their other store just to make sure. Their selection is good. Wide enough to cover most comic fans. They had plenty of regulars coming thru to pick up the new releases and Nick new almost everyone by name. They had a great deal going on where all their box comics were 50 cents! I walked in just to look around and walked out with 20 books. Most of it was great 90's books that I remember from when was a kid. Definitely going back when I'm in back in town. Thanks again Nick for the great service. read more

stopped by for some reading material and looked around. purchased some comic books and handed them to my daughter to read. walked out the door and left. climbed into the car and drove back to bay area. read more

Shady.....no way around it. Just placed an online order for a book that came out in 2015. Their system stated they had 1 in stock and I was able to order it. They opened at 3pm and I called in a few moments after to verify they had it in stock. The girl (Allison) who answered the phone was pleasant and she told me that they didnt get many online orders. We discussed how I paid and she stated there were a few orders in front of me but she checked on my order and stated she had all the books....even the one that came out in 2015. She stated she had to speak with the owner and would call me back if there we any issues. Guess what....she called back saying one of the "other" orders had ordered it. Is it possible? Sure its possible....but it's more likely that this is just a straight shady owner. I've been in this game long enough to know what this is. As far as ordering online...avoid this place and order from a reputable establishment no matter what his so called excuse to this is. Anyone who collects comics can smell this situation a mile away. Add this to a horrible online system that sells books they dont have (if they were telling any type of truth) and you have the making of horrible impression. In my large circles, I will let everyone know....when you have shady practices and dont try to make it right, then it costs you. If that costs you any types of sales, then that was the point. Was it worth it? read more

Been coming here for a while now. The staff here is always helpful and friendly and won't make you feel like a stranger. It's a cozy small place but there's plenty of things to choose from including comics, cards and accessories. Prices are great as well. Wish the store was located in a more visible place because it definitely deserves more recognition! read more

Just introduced my daughters to comic books. We took advantage of Free Conic Book day but bought several others. Nick provided great service and was so patient with my 4 year old while she made her selection. I've been out of the game for years but the selection impressed me. Good prices, great sale, and a ton of titles. read more

Location: It's only a two blocks from the Graham subway stop. If you're driving here, street parking might be a little hard to come by since it's on a main street, but there is some residential parking around the block. Atmosphere: The decor is all Comic Book/Super Hero themed. There are comics at every table. It's good for when you're trying to kill some time while waiting for food. They have two TVs. Most of the time they have some Sci-Fi flix showing. They also feature local artist work on their walls. Staff: The staff is totally chill. They answer any questions you may have on burgers. Food: The menu is also themed to super heroes. The healthier burgers are "Heroes" and the all beef greasy burgers are "villains". I've had a cheese burger. You can taste the freshness in the meat (not frozen). Everything is made to order. The fries are nothing to right home about, but not bad. The sweet potato fries are made from scratch, but they are not amazing. Overall not a bad experience. I would give this place 3.75, but I figure they are really trying to set themselves apart with the atmosphere and I'm commending them for it. read more

Decent place with a decent variety. Staff was really nice, helpful and courteous. Store was clean and organized. I'm from the 831 but I have resided in Las Vegas the past 6 years and it seems that I have just been spoiled. The comic book stores out here are massive compared to these local shops in the 831. But this place is better than nothing. read more

First off, Comic Book Men has nothing on Current Comics. There are two locations, one in Salinas and sister in Monterey. The best thing about this place is the owner, who has always provided professional service, has been the greatest at accomodating the needs of comic collectors on the Monterey Bay and beyond. read more

This location has more character than their Monterey location but it looks a bit dumpy and dim. I got a few current back issues and the clerk wanted to charge me an extra $0.12 for the bags and boards they were in. Seriously?! That was a first for me. Since I was visiting on vacation I went along with it. Otherwise, I would have passed on them all and just bought them for less at mycomicshop.com as part of a bigger order. I just wanted to support a local shop. read more

I always try buying from local shops this place is awesome the employees know their stuff they'll answer any question u got if they don't have what you're looking for they'll try their best to order it for u they been getting more and more action figures from time to time and that's a plus I would buy online before and now I just buy locally very friendly environment highly recommend this place if your trying to to get to the comic book game read more

This place is awesome! My boyfriend and I come here every now and then and every time we go the staff is super friendly and treats you like a real person not just a transaction. They're very knowledgeable and helpful! They have a stellar prices on Pokemon, Yugioh and Magic card packs and a huge variety of really great comic books, the classics and more! Definitely going to be shopping for my cards and such here now. Support this local business and you won't regret it!!! read more

First time going to current comics in Salinas. Nice little shop with a good variety of comics. The staff there were really nice and offered assistance when ever i struggled to find something. I recommend anyone to check this place out if ever in town, will not be disappointed. read more
