I tried to register online and ran into issues; when I went back in, it felt like more of a hassle for Mr. Beanie-Glasses-¿Chin-Strap-Beard? (hard to really remember). This kind of dismissive behavior isn't uncommon in comic book shops. Having been a regular reader for years, I can confidently say there's a certain hipster element embedded in comic culture that lacks the self-awareness that the "better-than-you" attitude is a dime a dozen. I place my weekly pulls with Casablanca Comics, where the staff are not only enjoyable to talk with, but actually remember your name and want to help. This shouldn't discount the efforts of the other, surely more personable employees--nor at least a visit or two to check out their selection--but it definitely detracts from any kind of regular patronage.

I visited Coast City Comics during my recent vacation to Maine. It was a cold, rainy day - my first…read moreday in Portland - so I was looking for cool, fun things to do. The actual name of this place is: "Coast City Comics & The Fun Box Monster Emporium." There is a ton of comic books, games, action figures, and related "stuff" crammed into this place. There are a number of pinball machines stuffed into the back of the shop. Very cool comic book shop. I think they need a bigger space! #CoastCityComicsAndTheFunBoxMonsterEmporium

I loved checking out the Maine Mysteries section and also the staff picks. The store is well laid out and organized although it would be easy to get lost in here for hours. I bought a few books on sale, some candies and a magnet. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in lot. I will be back again and would highly recommend a stop in.

LOL The had everything we were looking for, which was nothing specific but needed something for many kids/adults. Cook books, Maine souvenir items for our NY in-laws, activity books for kids, cool fun "old fashioned" hand held water toy games. I was more fascinated than my nephew. There was a stationary section in the front corner of the store that reminded me of good ol' Loring Short and Harmon...Anyone remember that awesome store? This was like that combined with Bookland and Newbury comics. I have always heard great things about Sherman's and I was not disappointed. I bought so many different things, for me and the kids. I can't wait to come back for another shopping spree. We were able to get so many fun things and all for great prices. (yes, we compared to Amazon) in fact they had some items that were not available on Amazon! Shop Local! You will be pleasantly surprised. Staff here make it a very pleasant experience while checking out.

The variety span across all different realms and universes, Marvel, DC obviously and some other less known ones. They also had sets of comic books, big posters, Pokemon cards. All the items had a decent price, the sets were little high price, since they were combination of a bunch. We bought a kids story book for our daughter, it was about Loki. The gentleman at the register was super friendly. The POS machine wasn't working, so we paid cash. Overall it a nice store to visit for comic fans.

I already knew it was gonna be a good place. Kids section at the front. My 5yo picked out "Loki Loki where are you?" She loves it!! Many collectible items and comics through out the store. Posters wrapped and boarded nicely for carrying out. I would say the price is fair for the collectible. Loki book was maybe $7? The guy at the counter was very nice. I didn't ask any questions but I saw him directing a young lady to a specific section. Overall it's really nice and relaxing in the store. Spacious and quiet.

She had trouble with the system and was unable to look it up initially. She led me to the American history section of the store and told me to look there.

I popped in during a fall trip to Portland, and within two steps, I understood why this place stays busy. It's cozy, it's nostalgic, and it has that "you're definitely leaving with something you didn't plan to buy" -- and I absolutely did. The book selection is diverse. They do an incredible job curating local authors, Maine-themed reads, and those charming "I'll never find this anywhere else" gems. It's the kind of shop where you browse slowly because every shelf has a little surprise. The gifts + stationery section is dangerous (in the best way). Cute cards, puzzles, journals, mugs... basically an stress-free way to knock out gift shopping. Staff was friendly without hovering. Asked for a recommendation and got a great one -- points awarded. Yes, the aisles are a little tight. Yes, you might bump into people. But honestly? That's part of the cozy bookstore ecosystem. If you want Barnes & Noble spacing... this isn't that. And that's why it works. If you're in downtown Portland, Sherman's is an absolute must-stop. Whether you buy a book, a puzzle, or just soak up the cozy, indie-bookstore magic -- you'll leave happier than you walked in.
