My comic-book-collecting husband rarely leaves Big Brother empty handed. For Dungeons & Dragons fans, there is a wall full of character minis to choose from. I was so excited to find my characters and my friends' characters after not finding them at other comic book stores. They also have board games and accessories. I particularly love looking at the display cases. Lots of the figurines spark childhood memories which make the shopping experience extra fun. You can tell that each item is handled with care and priced appropriately for collectors. Don't forget to look up to admire the wall decorations! The owners and employees put a lot of thought into this shop to make it fun for patrons of all ages.

My family and I were downtown last night for dinner and decided to pop into Big Brother Comics…read more Big Brother Comics is located on 20th and I Street, right around the corner from Tank House BBQ - parking can be questionable since it is Midtown though. I am not a comic book person, but I do like visiting and walking around like I know what I'm looking at. My husband is a nerd for comics so we popped in to see what new stuff they had. I liked seeing all of the cool interesting games, books and figurines. They offer so much at this store and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! My husband bought the Ultimate Spiderman comic and my daughter picked out a Teen Titans Go book - I think it came out to a little over $30 for both so not too bad. Pricing was fairly decent - you get what you pay for and depending on the rarity! They even have a large room with tons of tables and chairs next door for gaming with friends. Overall, Big Brother Comics is a pretty cool store! I'm sure we'll be back soon!

Arguably the worst card store I've ever seen, guy was just chilling in his chair and didn't say…read moreanything until I walked up to him and just stood there for a while. Awful pokemon selection they barely had anything, no slabs and the few cards they did have were clearly damaged when I flipped them over. Prices were a bit above market for ungraded. I wouldn't ever go back, I can't believe how cluttered and unorganized it looked also. Felt like the basement of that 70's show.

Sparky's is a cool little shop full of bric-a-brac from yesteryear. Everyone that works there was…read moresuper friendly and happy to engage in conversation, whether it was about vintage videos, toys, t-shirts, or the reason I came in, records. You can pickup some cheap vinyl outside, or you can go in and peruse a small but decent selection. I was able to get an interesting colored vinyl variant of Aesop Rock's "Daylight" EP while I was there at a reasonable price, and was also able to have a conversation about said record with the guy working. It felt like an old school genuine record store vibe, which is disappearing and appreciated. They have a lot of junk - in the most loving way - that you may want to get, like collectible toys. Not so much of the Funko Pop variety, but more like actual toys you might remember playing with - like He Man and the Masters of the Universe, or The Simpsons figures. I like that more than the "everything is still in a box and not meant to actually be enjoyed" variety, so this place is cool there. It's a nice little place to swing into to just look around, maybe pick up a record, and have a cool convo. Can't complain about any of that.

Super cute store! They've been open for about a year now and I came in looking for some Marvin…read moreGaye/stevie wonder CD's for my car. Everything is super reasonably priced (cd was $4) and they have vinyls, pins, a small rack of apparel and even comics and collectibles!

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the good people at A-1 comics. The owner Brian is a…read moregreat guy who knows his stuff and gave me a fair offer for my comic collection which I sold off this past spring. Bailey was also great to work with as he was the person I sold the most to. You must know you will not get full market value for your comics or collectibles but what they do offer is fair and didn't feel like a low ball offer at all. I have no complaints or reservations about the overall transactions. My comic collecting days are over but if you're a collector this is the gold standard for Sacramento area comic shops. Between their Wednesday live sales and what seems to be every other month or so 50% back issue sales there are great opportunities to build your collection at fair prices. Their toy/collectible section has really expanded in the past few years particularly at the Auburn location. I'll still pop in from time to time to check out the collectibles. Have found some great stuff in the past! All 3 locations are worth a visit. Staff has always been friendly and everything seems to be well stocked and organized. Give em' a visit if you haven't yet. Lots of treasures to be discovered.

Shout out to the staff (Fry, Alex, Gabe, Joseph, Michelle (I think is the girls name), and the other cool hat dude...blanking on his name).

Forced to put 1 star, would choose 0 if I could…read more Wrong address listed. Google, apple, and even the mall map signs says suite 220. It is really suite 115. Walked around for 20 minutes trying to find this place as my little one really wanted to grab something once we heard there was a comic store in this shopping center. Finally found it...and it's closed! Got here at 6:30pm, no joke their hours on the door says open until 7ish. Rent ain't cheap here...seems like whoever owns this place could care less how it does. Absolute joke of a store and these are not serious people. So many other spots to choose from with people who are passionate about what they do. I'd buy online before coming back here.

Comics, Collectibles, Pugs, and the Coolest Bathroom…read more What a great little comic book shop. The owner was incredibly friendly, the store was spotless, and there was so much to look at. They have a huge selection of comic books, collectibles, artwork, and fun memorabilia throughout the shop. One of my favorite parts was meeting the two adorable, well-behaved pugs who were happily hanging around the store. They definitely add to the welcoming atmosphere. The walls are covered with interesting art and displays, making the entire shop feel unique and full of personality. Everywhere you look there's something fun, quirky, or nostalgic to check out. And I have to give a special shoutout to the bathroom. I don't think I've ever mentioned a comic shop bathroom in a review before, but this one was awesome. The walls were hand-painted with beautiful koi fish artwork and even included information about the artist. It felt more like a little art exhibit than a restroom. As the wife who isn't really into comic books, I also appreciated that there was a comfortable, clean waiting area where I could relax while my husband browsed. That's a small detail, but it made the experience much more enjoyable for me. Between the friendly owner, the adorable pugs, the creative artwork, the welcoming atmosphere, and the massive selection of comics and collectibles, this place is a gem. Whether you're a serious collector, a casual fan, or just tagging along with one, it's absolutely worth stopping by.

Okay, bookstore lovers this place is the real deal. Three floors of books organized by vibe: main…read morefloor has your general selection and kids books, top floor is romance, and the basement is where the horror and sci-fi live. Naturally, I spent most of my time downstairs. The bookseller on the lower level was so knowledgeable! We got into a whole conversation and they pointed me toward several horror picks I never would have found on my own, including some horror graphic novels I'm genuinely excited about. That kind of interaction is exactly why indie bookstores matter. They also have an in-person horror book club, which honestly made me a little sad because I couldn't join. If I lived in Sacramento, I would 100% be a regular here. Highly recommend if you're passing through.
