If you're a fan of either of these genres, The Paperback Exchange could easily warrant a five star rating. Seeing as how I don't have an interest in either, the selection for me was pretty limited. However, after some concerted digging, I plucked a copy of The Memory Keeper's Daughter from the shelf. It kept me entertained on my flight back to New York which is pretty priceless considering that it saved me from flipping through the SkyMall magazine again!

They have an unbelievable amount of comics and collectables that revert me back to being a kid (in a candy store). I can always find something of interest, DC, Marvel or independent if they dont have it I am sure they know of it. For me the knowledge of the staff is great as many of them collect and or read comics and therefore I have some interesting talks or debates . I highly recommend this comic store for the collector in you! Also they have a pretty cool little cafe to get a coffee or drink inside as well. Hero up!

(wheres gerrard? pape? is that in the beaches?) ....this might be the dialogue you might be having...understandable if so, because this place is reallly for the neighbourhood folks. itd be great to be a kid living around this neighbourhood and be able to pop into this place after school. its on a street that is mostly residential with some stores on it, but youd have to know the neighbourhood or be a comic fanatic to know of it. that being said, they have an ample supply of action figures; mainly superheroes are to be found and at prices a bit lower than you might find elsewhere. its a small place, so theyll have a bit of everything, with a focus on superhero and action comics. but still, there are graphic novels available and the owner is very helpful and easy to talk to. hell also order in issues that you are looking for if you want. for the sheer convenience, id come here if i knew exactly what i wanted, and because, if the price of the comic is the same as everywhere else (as it usually is) they offer one of those buy 10 get one free (there are conditions of course but the principle still stands). overall it was a great neighbourhood find and i will be back, especially to get successive issues of the superman comic i bought - if its any good!

The efforts go into the merchandise and service rather than ambiance, and considering the near impossibility for a comic store to muffle that stuffy feeling, I'd settle for what Atomic Age has going. The store houses a good collection of comics and graphic novels, offering new and vintage. And of course, the usual knick knacks at the front counter. The owner is very nice and helpful and will order in issues of series not found on shelves for customers. It's a pretty easygoing place and owner was great with helping me find what I was looking for, but it's a little too packed inside for browsing. Good place to visit if you are able to locate it - it's very small and easily overlooked, and located in a mainly residential neighbourhood. Normally a place like this would get the standard 3 stars but the owner was very helpful and friendly so it gets a bump up.

Cool collectibles!…read more From the outside you may not be privy to the collectible treasures located inside. They have a great selection of the latest comics up front and boxes in the back of older ones. They also have a beat on some harder to find or newer items like collaborations between Scooby Doo & Transformers or GI Joe & Ninja Turtles. I picked up a latter collaboration which I had not yet seen in the States. Heroes world is a little off the beaten path, it isn't located in one of the busier strip malls but it's close enough. Staff, especially the owner was really friendly and helpful. They can ship your items too if you live in Canada.

We spend thousands of dollars searching out nice comics for our collections. So because of the rudeness of the owner, he will miss out on any money we will be spending this year. The employee who spoke with us was the only saving grace for this place. Suffice it to say, we will not be going back there, even if they offered 50% off. We believe that being nice to your customers who pay the bills is very important. It's clear this owner doesn't. We don't recommend this place if you are looking for friendliness and a smile when purchasing your comics with your hard earned money. Nuff Said.
