    Awesome store great service very nice staff very organized and clean. I was in town for a conference and follow these guys on Facebook and TikTok and drove down just to go to their store. Great overall experience I highly recommend.

    One of the best comic book, board game, figures and models place there is. If you are a comic book nerd, a board/ card game nerd, if you are into D&D type games, if you are into collectibles, movie figurines, models, and just about anything along those geeky lines, you will love this place. It is fairly large for a comic type store. They have things broken out into different sections. They even have an event room in back that looks like it could be used for gaming events or other things. This is a great way to spend the day if you are into these types of things.

    So many Star Wars figures!

    Emerald City Comics and Games is an extremely rare find in this country. To find a store this large, one would need to go to Los Angeles. Just stepping foot into the store gives me pride in Tampa Bay. Are we going to be as cool as California? New York comic shops don't even come close to the selection and vast array of titles, figures, and games. The layout is a warehouse that is comfortably air conditioned, even in the hottest of Florida summers. There are smiling employees roaming around, offering help to anyone that needs it. They are more than willing special order any title. My husband was quite excited to find a large space devoted to tabletop gaming, and a room for gamers to come together and play. To my excitement, I found collectible action figures and cards, which is always my favorite, and reminds me of Nagano Broadway shops in Japan. Don't forget about free comic book days. Even if you are not into comic books or gaming, I recommend visting Emerald City at least once to see for yourself. You never know, you might get hooked.

    I love this place! From getting current and back comic book issues, to raiding the bargain bins. Great source to find rare issue action figures and they even have life size replicas of the Silver Surfer and Alien movie egg. I was able to score a full size metal Captain America shield. Pros: Lots of diverse merchandise, Comic Book Heaven, D&D gaming area and friendly staff. Cons: It's a drive from where I live, which is a bummer.

    Still 5 stars! I absolutely adore this shop and have spent probably more money and time here than I should haha! More comments on the awesomeness that is Emerald City: * They host a ridiculous amount of weekly events and giveaways! Just follow their FB page to keep up. They do an incredible job of posting events and updating the page. * AJ and Will are always great. Everyone there is great actually. I'm just horrible with names and socially awkward lol. * We used to come for their Sunday Pokemon kid events religiously. Great way for kids to play and make new friends. * They have a nice used section- I've scored some pretty sweet deals browsing it! * The actors they hire to dress up as characters at events do a very good job. The kids love it and the photo ops are fun! I love this store!

I brought in over 500 Marvel Silver Age comic books to sell. When I left the store I will admit felt glad but a little apprehensive. Three days later I get a call that all my books were sold and I could come in and get my money. I was really surprised. Not only did I do better then I thought but I also found someone I could talk comics with. I have about another 1000 DC comics to sell and will head to The Comic Underground when I can pull them out of storage and go through them. It tough giving up your babies, but I glad The Comic Underground is around.

My first time visiting and I was impressed with a comic store so close to Oldsmar. Also a good selection of comic supplies such as boxes, Mylar bags, backing boards, and more. Since my main concern was comics, I checked over their huge collections, very well organized. Also a fair stock of many Silver Age books. Since I am in the process of downsizing my 60+ year collection of mostly Golden Age and Silver Age, about the only things I am looking for is (1) an affordable Batman #1 (LOL) and a handful of EC comics from the 50s. But I came for a specific reason - to get a long box of comics to share with grandkids and mostly donate to the local USO. There is a whole wall of long box comics on sale for $1 individual, plus a long box of your choice for $75. One row across the top and another on the floor beneath. I spent about 90 minutes grazing through for appropriate books for service members and families, nothing PG or higher. The manager was very knowledgeable about comics and very helpful. I did bring my own long box to fill.
