He is a 2nd cousin that I have only met once, and that was a couple of years ***cough***read: decades***cough*** ago. Anyway. I know a book is scheduled to come out soon and am looking for one other of his. While I found none of his works here, I did not look too deeply, nor did I ask. I did find a graphic novel of a compilation of fairy tales that I did get. If I were not already nervous about coming into a store that is out of my comfort zone, I would have asked the guy working. Inside is very neat and clean and seemed to be well organized. I went on a weekend morning, and it was not busy at all. This seems to be an awesome place that a comic book or graphic novel person could spend all day in and I don't think the management would mind. There is plenty of parking in front, and this store is nestled in a small strip mall.

On the day that we were here, my friend was looking for something specific, and although they didn't have what she was looking for in store, they offered to order it for her. Of course, they have some rare books that you can buy as well as some collectors items. I'm not really into comic books, but the woman working was super friendly and helpful and showed me around a bit and gave me an idea of what they have. I want to go back and bring David because he loves comic books and I know that he'd appreciate this spot.

The store was small but with a good selection of comics, including some nice older wall books, a couple rows of long boxes, & a decent selection of new books. Seemed to have a smaller selection of sports cards & toys. The man working behind the counter (owner?) was nice, greeting me as I entered with my 2 kids. He offered assistance but I didn't need any. He continued his conversation with a regular customer about old sci-fi episodes. Eavesdropping on their conversation made me feel right at home. Just like my local comic book store. I ended up buying a copy of Captain Marvel 17 & Thanos 14. They were having a 15% off sale on back issues. Next time I pass through Baton Rouge, I'll be sure to stop by.

The whole shop has the feel of another era, like a flea market, and is on a very hip street with lots of other cool shops & restaurants.

His knowledge, passion for comics, and outstanding customer service are second to none. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyed talking comics with us.

It's rare to find someone who makes you feel like an old friend from the moment you walk in. We could have easily spent hours browsing and having great conversations with Jason. This is exactly what makes visiting local comic shops so special. An absolute must-stop for any comic collector visiting New Orleans. Thank you, Jason, for such an outstanding experience. We can't wait to visit again!

I'm going to preface this by saying I am not a comic book reader or collector, so this is a review…read moreby someone outside of the comic world. This store is small, but it's jam packed with all kinds of goodies from cards to comic books and graphic novels and action figures. In the front room all of the comics are organized so you can easily find what you are looking for and action figures and other toys and collectibles are in the back room. For me, the best part of the store was the baseball and football cards you can buy- many of them unusual cards. Weird fact about me: when I was a kid I collected baseball and football cards. At this store they have a glass case full of a lot of rookie cards of some pretty famous players. I think they coolest card I saw here was a Mickey Mantel card. I had never seen one up close before and I couldn't believe it only cost $175. If I was a collector these days, I would have to splurge on that just because I think it would be neat to have.

Normally I'm nervous about checking out new places alone, but this was a perfect solo adventure - the kind of cozy, cramped place that you don't want to have to squeeze past your friends to get around. Meeting Mrs. Cookie, who was just helping out the owner by watching the shop, and Big Boy, the little purse dog running security, also helped ease me into this new experience. Not only was Mrs. Cookie helpful in directing me through the overwhelming sections and willing to help me search for specific authors, but she was so personable and even had quite the interesting tale to tell me about her life - which all seemed so impossible that you would think she were a character from a book. Overall, there was an abundance of hidden treasures if you have the patience to look. I got a copy of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, and George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones (in like-new condition) at a great price! Come here for the oldies, but goodies, and the smell of thousands of pages that every book lover adores.

Typically I come to browse and grab any good deals I find, but with minimal time, I let her know which authors I was interested in and she ultimately checked her car after scanning the shelves to get me this series that she was planning on reading herself! They retail 10-12$, but I got them for $8.50 each. Not the world's biggest deal, but cheaper than retail nonetheless. I'm grateful for the effort she put in to find me something to leave with especially so close to her closing time.
