The Portal Comics and Gaming is not a shop I usually stop at when in the Lehigh Valley due to its…read morelocation being closer to Bethlehem, but for certain people this shop will be valuable. It shares the building with other business including a CVS, and parking is shared with their lots or on the street. This is a light comic book shop with limited selection, to the point if they dropped comics from there name, I don't think anyone would notice. Handful of wall books and mostly modern books in their short boxes. Graphic novel selection was better than average with several shelves. Portal primarily focuses on gaming, with them having a large board gaming selection. Other gaming items are located around the shop, including various Warhammer items and paint for gaming items. Gaming space is located in the back of the shop, in a separate room from the merchandise. Overall, if you are looking for gaming items, The Portal should meet your needs. I would do my comic shopping at other shops in the Lehigh Valley, however.

Decent stock of new comics, but doesn't seem to carry any CCG/TCG cards aside from Magic The Gathering. An entire wall of the store is taken by the extensive selection of Graphic Novels. Sells comics in bunches/sets if you are looking to start a collection. Store also stocks a half wall of toys towards the back and collectable figurines around the register area in the front. Clean, well lit, and organized. Literally, the store is stocked from bottom to top. Whitehall Mall is more of a shopping center then a mall, with most of the stores having external entrances, Comicmasters is located in the small indoor "mall" portion. The indoor portion of the mall was rather dimly lit during our evening visit.

We have been looking forward to being in the area again so we could visit again. When we walked in we felt right at home. They have over 4 aisles full of long boxes with back issues. The staff is very courteous and helpful. The selection of back issues is fantastic. Although their $1.00 comics are now at $1.50 we were still were able to walk out with over 200 comics and were given a great deal on them. Their walls of New issues is also very impressive and then give a great discount to customers who subscribe with them. We are planning on coming back and going through their aisles of 0.50 and 0.10 cimics Next time. Almost forgot to mention their very large gamers area. Don't miss coming here.

Tales of Adventure for a few years had fallen to the second tier of the Allentown metro area comic…read moreshops due to the removal of its quality longboxes. In just my last few visits though, Tales has rebounded significantly. The shop is located south of Allentown, in Coopersburg, and shares it's building with two other businesses. The shop has had several configurations over the years but has been stable for a while now. Walking in, you have various gaming items on the right-hand side of the shop and behind glass counters. Wall book selection is good. New pull selection still feels leaner compared to many shops. In the back of the shop is a good selection of graphic novels. Good news! The organized/semi-organized longboxes are back! Boxes are organized by as priced, $5, and $1 books. Most of the worthless $1 90's independent books are gone, replaced by a huge selection of Marvel and some DC. Over my last few visits, organization of these $1 books has drastically improved. Gaming tables are in the back corner and don't affect the ability to search though longboxes, even with several games ongoing. Overall, I'm glad to see Tales of Adventure moving back in the right direction and it's returned to being one of the Allentown metro areas must stop comic book shops.

Space is large with plenty of room for future growth. Cloud City has a limited selection of new pull comics, but has a large selection of graphic novels. Several bins of longbox comics are located in the center of the shop at various price points. Has some toys and collectables spread throughout the shop. They have a good selection of board gaming and other gaming items. I'm interested to see how this move works out for Cloud City. Lehigh Valley Mall is a good mall with lots of foot traffic. Biggest issue Cloud City has is they are also now in direct competition with the areas highest end comic shop, ComicMasters, which is located in the Whitehall Mall across the street. I'm not sure Cloud City has the product selection to compete. During previous visits at the old location, my friend has often done well in their comic bins, while I did better when they previously had more one-dollar longboxes.
