Spawn Comic

Great Comic Book Store! If you are a true collector this store has a lot to offer. The owner is vastly knowledgeable and works hard to keep everything available to his customers! He is really knowledgeable too so he helped me out a lot. If you are looking for great comics this would be a good place to check out! Very fair prices too

The owner was really welcoming and helpful with finding comics I was looking for. The stock of back issues is awesome and plenty of new comics as well. Definitely worth stopping in!

J N J is a store for the true comic collector. It calls back to a time when your local comic store was a haven for fellow enthusiasts and the owner was a guru of comic knowledge. The feeling of nostalgia as I entered is irreplaceable. I was floored by the selection -- wall-to-wall comic boxes, toys, and memories. I was looking to fill gaps in my X-Men collection, and I hit the gold mine here. If you're looking for Funko Pops, stick to Hot Topic at the mall. The owner was gracious, helpful, and humorous. I don't understand the isolated reviews about poor customer service. J N J lives up the term LCS (local comic store). It should be a destination for comic fans of all ages. In my opinion, it's the best in OC, and possibly all of SoCal.

Alakazam Comics is tucked into an unassuming strip-mall/office-center location just north of the…read more405 and across from John Wayne Airport. From the outside, you might wonder if you're in the right place. Open the door, though, and--alakazam!--you're immediately surrounded by comics, manga and anime books, collectible trading cards, records, gaming accessories, and enough geeky goodness to make your wallet nervous. The prices are reasonable and Marco offers discounts if you ask. The shop isn't particularly wide, but it goes back... and back... and back. It's packed to the gills with merchandise, yet they've still managed to fit in plenty of tables for people to sit down and actually play games. Longtime owner Marco is gregarious, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoys what he does. Bonus points: he plays Magic: The Gathering himself, so if you want to talk MTG, you're not just getting a sales pitch--you're talking to a fellow player. The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful too. If you're hunting for something specific or have a question, just ask. They've also thought about the necessities of an extended gaming session: chips, candy, and chilled drinks are available to keep hunger at bay while you battle your way to victory--or, in my case, potentially make a series of questionable strategic decisions. There's even a restroom in the store, which becomes increasingly important the longer those gaming sessions go. Between the comics, cards, books, records, accessories, gaming space, helpful staff, and welcoming atmosphere, Alakazam feels like much more than a place to buy stuff. It feels like a neighborhood gaming hangout. This has officially become my new favorite gaming store. Alakazam indeed!

This location is pretty big. I think in comparison to the one I've been to in Monterey Park, I…read morethink this is the better location. However there are other locations around LA/OC area. Out of the 2 locations I've been to, this has a better parking lot as well. Since the store is a lot bigger, that means a lot more selection of figures, books, manga, videos and more. In general, I do enjoy this store as it has great value. I found quite a few things that were quite cheaper here than if you go to a large retail store. If you have anything that you may want to get rid of (but works very well or in good shape) you can see if they're willing to it and give you an estimate. The staff are helpful to help you (the best of their ability) to find what you are looking for or need.

Came in randomly on a Sunday afternoon when we saw the store on the road. We were excited to see…read morewhat kind of book store it was. Lots of books, old school games, dvds, action figures or collectibles, videos and more. You could spend a lot of time in here if you are only perusing. Everything was tidy and well-organized. I think some of the of books were out of place from topics but for the most part, it was kept clean. Lot of the products and books were in pretty good condition. Some products were a little pricey for secondhand use..but nonetheless pretty cool spot. Service was alright--didn't really talk to the staff all that much and they seemed pretty busy organizing the books and shelving. The cashier that helped me didn't really give me any vibe other than he was just there to do his job which isn't a bad thing but I've definitely experienced more hospitable customer service at other book stores.

I don't really get the hype here. This shop has a lot of modern comics, and it's somewhat…read moreorganized, but it's so incredibly cramped and tight inside that it's hard to really shop it too deeply. If there had been one other person in the shop, I wouldn't have been able to turn around. It feels overly cluttered, or even claustrophobic. The employee working was really friendly, and knew the inventory fairly well, though they didn't end up having anything i needed. This shop, like most of the shops in this and adjacent areas, is hyper focused on modern comics. I understand why, and it makes sense to a point, but it isn't somewhere i could see spending any time really picking through back issues for good stuff. If I lived nearby, i might get my weekly pull here, but i wouldn't reserve much time for hanging out. I was traveling through the area on a tour of shops looking specifically for older back issues, i'm afraid this shop doesn't hit that kind of niche. I'm also confused about the name, because there was no indication anywhere that coffee was involved at all. I expected something like a Cafe with an attached book store, but as it turns out the coffee referenced in the name of the shop refers to coffee grounds that they give away with purchases? It's just a little misleading, and a big reason I won't score this shop higher. Overall, this shop is probably good for a pull list, but not good for collectors who are deeper in the trenches than modern slabs and resale value collecting. The employee was nice, and helpful, but the location itself is not great, and the name doesn't really imply what the concept is very well.

Take it from a someone who's been an otaku for 20+ years, a figure and merch collector (hoarder)…read moreand who has been going to anime cons/events/shopping, etc. forever. The prices were are egregious, and I KNOW that prices everywhere have gotten egregious, not just because of rising cost of living, cost of importing things in and tariffs, and just owning a business and everything, but this way more expensive than what I see being scalped or being shilled at anime cons or online too. Like, yes I'll admit that they see to have a decent amount of stock and they have a lot of figures, goods, and physical media, manga, plushies, apparel, and merch in their shop but I immediately was winded by seeing a $50+ for what's easily a cheaper prize figure that you can either get at an overpriced $30 at a con, at Book Off, at another store, try to hilariously fail winning at Round 1, or get somewhat cheaper online, or get even cheaper second hand. Definitely do your research before purchasing here.

Similar situation happened tonight as my previous review, my boyfriend and I walked in as normal…read moreand were browsing some figures, I was taking photos and image searching to find their upping their prices as much at 30 dollars over market price. She even went so far as to touch one of my keychains and told us that she had(a way overpriced) figure of the same character. She kept checking on us, peaking around corners, overall really creepy vibes. Go find stuff at different stores, book off is a good place for cheap figures and decent ones as well, or even eBay has better prices depending on the figure. Also heard her being a little racist so do with that what u will! I would def give my buisness to this store if the lady left and a new manager was put in, as well as way better pricing. Sorry not sorry lady, but you're weird as fuck!!!!
