    The Great Escape has been around for a long time. While I can't speak to the prices being fair for the items they carry, I can say I don't know of another place quite like it. If you are a comic book fan, this is where you come for new and older versions. The store is also packed with movies, used toys and games, t shirts and other random accessories. Some items are new, some are used / consigned. I thought it was cool to see a Barbie book that was originally $.29 being sold in the store - and if you're into it, buying it for $4.99 isn't terrible. Bring the kids, or shop alone, but carve out time to slowly browse through The Great Escape or else you'll miss a hidden gem.

    My first time visiting Great Escape recently due to a recent purchase of a record player! We have visited several stores that sell records but WOW this has by far been the best! Soooo many options and the people that work there are extremely helpful and nice! Also, they are constantly adding to their collection, so if there is something you are looking for but can't find - odds are they will have it come through eventually! Also... the prices are reasonable compared to some other places we've been!

    This is what a comic book shop is supposed to feel like when you walk in. They have a great selection of new & used comics, action figures, TCG, movies, records, memoribilia, and more. The prices are very competitive. You may not always find what you want, but chances are you will find something you didn't know you needed til you seen it. The great thing is if they dont have it they will gladly order it or put you on a list to let you know when it is in.

    I've been coming here for my comics and collectibles since I was a kid and I have never felt more accepted in a shop like this!

    My go to place for cheap music and DVDs. It's always a bit of a hunt but it can be a fun one.

    Big selection of back issues. Boxes under the tables can be hard to get to sometimes. Parking in the lot behind the store is essential.

    Someone posted that parking is bad; clearly they don't know that there is a small lot in the back of the store, I have never seen it full!

    I'm from out of town and have been trying to do business with this store over the past two years…read morewhen I been coming to deal with family issues. I've had mixed to declining results and, with this last visit, I am done! The customer service has always been weak and now I'm at the breaking point. Because I have limited time each visit, I try to email a list of what I'm looking for in advance. Management either doesn't check their email or simply don't care. Last week, I called twice and unfortunately got the same person who thoroughly discouraged emailing in favor of coming in because "it would be easier" and "they don't have time to look." Easier for whom? Certainly not the returning costomer. Since they're close to the airport and I had time, I stopped in anyway on Fri. I spoke with who I believe to be the owner and he also wasn't too interested in making time to check books that he said he had in the back that were recently purchased. They were apparently getting ready for a sale the next day and possibly making a sale in the moment was clearly not that important. They made a copy of my list, took my name and number and said they would check. I made it clear that I was leaving Mon, today. As of 1:00, no call. So I called the store. The clerk who answered has no idea I'm talking about and was very dismissive, and the owner isn't there until tomorrow. They don't talk their employees anymore than their customers. So, that's it. I've had it with them and won't be going back even if they had the hardest to find book on my list. One of the worst shops I've ever been to for customer service. Shame on me for having given them multiple chances to do right.

    I'll give this place a three out of five stars and the only reason why I'm giving it three is…read morebecause they had all of the comic books that I wanted in the number one varients . But other than that, the Customer Service sucked I was looked at with suspicion. The energy was off. It's just not a place that I will go visit all the time not like the other comic book stores around here.
