It's not cheap pulp crap you see elsewhere. It's printed on real nice paper. People love these books. You can tell people there are having the time of their life.

The Comic Book Shoppe is a solid place for anything geek-related…read more Among the stuff you can find here are trading cards, great for me since I wanted to get some MtG boosters. In fact, there must've been a promotion going on, since my friend who doesn't play was given a free draft booster, probably in an attempt to keep the noble tradition alive. The other stuff you can get are varied. You have comics (evidently) in the style of manga and western graphic novels. I also noticed some magazines and art books. Aside from these are some interesting board games, apparel, figurines, action figures, and miscellaneous accessories. There's also a place for games; I saw people playing with cards (likely also Magic). The store is completely judgment-free, so don't worry if you feel like you stick out. The staff here are very friendly and will help you find what you need.

Everything is overpriced. On release of products they withhold it for a day to see the marketplace…read moreprices and price them at the highest rate possible. Example of Destined Rivals they didn't have stock yesterday they "Didn't receive it" and has them previously posted for 85$ per ETB and the next day they "received their stock" and now they're asking 150+ tax for a Destined Rivals ETB... which is even higher than Collectr or Facebook marketplace prices. They have consistently been doing things like this in the past. They have also not honored online transactions claiming "It's out of stock" when confirming through calls or emails afterwards because the product went up on the secondary market and they wanted to be able to mark them up as well cancelling the order. Scalpers and unethical. I don't know how they're staying in business.

All of their graphic novels are custom-priced 5%-10% above the Canadian cover prices.

When I questioned the owner on this he fabricated some ridiculous fiction that the books are not tax-exempt because they do not have ISBN codes on them (which of course they all do - printed right on the back cover in most cases). There are plenty of honest, ethical comic book dealers in the capitol region; no reason to shop here.

Black squirrel is a used (with some new) and very carefully curated bookstore with two levels of exploring to do. At the front of the shop is an espresso bar that offers lots of tasty treats and alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. I got a oat milk cappuccino and a small chocolate mint cookie. The cookie was only 1$ and so tasty, like an elevated and adult girl guide cookie!! Excellent prices and kind service. This will be my new go to when I have some time in Ottawa South.

I want to give this review no stars that is how bad this place is. I have been to many comic book…read morestores in general and have had no problems ,but this place is a joke. Staff are rude and horrendous to customers they will accuse you of stealing and start yelling at you to leave. They will threaten to call police on you when they have no proof and ban you from coming in the store.What makes it even worse is they have no security cameras to prove you did anything or stole anything which is totally bullshit. If I am accused of something and threatened to go to jail I want proof from security cameras of me stealing. Oh wait there are none. A good comic book store to go to is myth and legends on bank street much better store prices are great and I love the staff there super friendly and helpful best store in town love it there.This store should be shut down for good before more people get banned for no reason!

I had one of my worst shopping experiences ever at Entertainment Ink. I was there on an errand for…read moremy brother, looking for a specific comic book. I had no idea what one i was looking for and needed help. I waited for twenty minutes while the clerk discussed Mexico, writing papers for university and every other topic unrelated to the store with another customer, while I waited in plain sight. The clerk clearly knew nothing of customer service. I will not be returning to entertainment ink and recommend anyone who is looking for quality service to avoid this store.

This store is great for browsing or for gift searches for the nerd / sci-fi / superhero fan…read more The store has a lot of options to choose from. The owner REALLY knows his stuff. I am not well versed in most of the stuff. We took a personal tour of the store to show me everything he had related to the one topic I said I was looking for as a gift. He's got a lot of good ideas and seems like he can also order anything he may not have at the time. Note he also runs a website which I'm pretty sure has a wishlist feature, so check this out as well! I'm really happy this store came to the mall. It's a great shopping store. He also had a cute tie-in for the kids with the mall Santa over the holidays. Nice to have the community feel back in the mall. 4 star only because I think some overall customer comforts like music and curb appeal would really do a lot to draw people in. Also the boxes along the back make me feel like they could pick up and leave at any time, but that's clearly not the case as they've been here a while now.

Although a bit on the tiny side the owner is very knowledgeable in his overall inventory and…read moreinventory possibilities. If there is some sci-fi/comic/anime/horror collectible or pretty much any other element of nerd/geek culture that you are interested in for your collection he seems capable and ready to get it for you. As, I said the in store set up is a bit on the tiny side though and things aren't necessarily easy to find as much of his inventory is in boxes you cannot get to or in the manufacturer shipping boxes that although are labeled (often with b&w graphics) they don't really give the actual collectable proper justice. It is very much a store front for an online shop and much of what he carries are thins fans have already got their sights on from online reviews/previews. This works fine for those like me but my wife visited a few times looking for a gift for me only to leave empty handed because the statues and figures she was looking for were not displayed and since she didn't have anything specific she was looking for couldn't find anything.

They got us hooked…read moreon a series of books, and we keep stoping by to see if they have the next one in the series available. After all, the library does not have absolutely everything! The store is following COVID protocols. The staff is warm and friendly, and knowledgeable. They have oodles of books, with a kids section of the shop, as well as a variety of movies. Recently, because of the holidays coming up, they have been selling groups of a dozen books all individually wrapped, as an "advent calendar" of books, containing such things as Archie comics. To encourage kids to read. This book store has a Facebook page as well, to advertise what they are doing in the wss as y of special events. And watch for the adorable guard-cat :-)

The salesperson said the owner made the decision to not carry books about Israel. I left without buying any books. It wasn't till I came to Yelp that I learned about the political bent of the shop. I felt deceived as there was no indication that I saw in the store about a left wing, Socialist, anti-Israel bent to the business. The owner can cater to whatever crowd they want, but be open about it so that potential customers can make informed decisions.
