This store seems to be a place that changes for the sake of change. If it were good change, that…read morewould be great. Fortunately, all is not lost. Some of the good is still there. What's not good is downright ridiculous. For some reason, instead of fiction having nice wide open spaces where you can peruse books and find something new, it's now mostly in an aisle just wide enough for 2 people to stand in. Imagine standing in front of a bookshelf that goes from the floor to 6-7 feet in the air. Imagine not being able to back up more than a step or two and trying to see what's on the shelf. It's not an easy feat. Meanwhile, there is a great open sea in the middle of the store that's wide open. Clearance, you'll be happy to know, now takes up the former fiction spot. So the books that are easiest to see are the ones nobody really wants. Makes perfect sense. In other ideas that clearly make perfect sense, with fewer DVDs on the shelves these days, an upper shelf that is very convenient to browse has a few titles with the cover side out. The bottom shelf, where almost no one wants to go, is still full of product. Changing something and improving it is welcome. Changing it and actively making it worse sucks. I used to spend a fair amount of time browsing. Now I hit a couple of areas and I'm done. Oh - whoever decided putting a dvd rack by the exit should not be making important decisions. Ever. Other than that, it's an ok place to shop.

This comic shop along 6th street was a fun visit for me. I used to be a comic reader/collector…read moreearlier in my life. I had over 12,000 comics at one point but finally gave them up when it was time to downsize our home. So when I entered this shop, there was a bit of nostalgia, especially when I saw the boxes of "vintage" comics sitting on a stand in the middle of the main room. What surprised me was that there were three rooms inside the shop. The comics and graphic novels that lined the shelves were grouped in the rooms by major brand, or children's, or independent offerings. I was the only customer mid afternoon on a Friday, so I was able to discuss the industry and offerings with the man behind the counter. Very friendly gentleman who brought me up to date on the major trends in comics/collecting. For those of you who are comic readers/collectors, know that this shop is devoted to the reading materials, not so much on the collectibles that some of the shops in the Indy area offer. But if you are into reading, I would say this shop has a wide variety on hand and seems like they will work with you to try finding something if they don't. Nice place to browse and hunt for your entertainment reading. Review #3292

It also a perfect shop for pop culture fans. I love the selection of new and old comic books that I can find (such as Marvel, DC, Image, IDW, etc.), the good customer service I can provide, how much any of the comics cost, and everything else that makes it fun to visit! I sure hope a next comic shop will be my second favorite like Comic Carnival!

What a nice surprise finding this shop filled (I mean packed!) with collectibles.

They had Star Wars, Star Trek, GI Joe, Marvel and DC figures, Barbies, sports figures, and so much more. Lots of vintage comic books too. I've been to comic stores and to a somewhat similar place in Fishers, but this shop, though packed, seems more organized and easier to get around in. There were lots of items I remember seeing 20-30 years ago. Some were still in the packaging, but there were some just in plastic bags that were really affordable if you are looking for toys that kids can play with. (Why pay for the packaging?) But they had some items that, although maybe not in mint condition, were unique. How about a life sized inflatable Jabba the Hut! Or helmets of storm troopers or Boba Fett. Ora cooler that looks like R2D2. Yes, they had them! The guys who work there were friendly and easy to talk to about the items. Although I didn't make any purchases this day, I got some ideas I may pass along to my family for my birthday/Christmas. Fun stuff! Note that this location is a little awkward to get to from the south. I highly recommend cutting across Troy to Brill Street and then heading north from there because Madison angles and would be difficult to turn onto Brill from the south. Southbound on Madison is no problem though...just watch for the street sign. Review #3305

There are art books, foreign language books, references, sci fi, mystery, romance, kids books, and more. It's not necessarily cheap, but the selection is eclectic. Their discount books bring me in, too, but I inevitably leave with a stack. My father did this. I inherited volumes from him, and added to it, refining the collection along the way. It's plainly stunning to see the variety of content available here. This store is a magnet for the mind. As I mentioned in my prior review, it's not as large as Powell's in Portland, or has the karma of City Lights in San Francisco, but in a way, it's close the same magnetism you feel in a really good used bookstore. Plan to spend time, and go oomph when you carry the stack when you leave. It's a dangerous place, with dangerous ideas. Go there.

There are still a lot of empty shelving and racks with the books in boxes on the floor. But I would say at least 70%-80% is back on the shelves.

This is a large store for a reseller and they have books for children, pre-teens, teens, young adults and the usual adult fiction sections, like mysteries, romance, science fiction, and fantasy, plus non-fiction sections like historical, science and biographies.
