This isn't a snoody insider shop, where an angry neckbeard will laugh at you for not knowing your Image from your Darkhorse. These folks are happy to help anybody with their first venture into comics, or will kindly leave the veterans to browse. They will set up a pull-list for you, if you want to keep up to date on the latest issues, which is even easier and more convenient to do from home if you use Facebook or Instagram. Just follow their posts and comment on their new release postings to pre-order anything in advance. And my favorite Sunday activity is following their weekly "Claims," where they feature new-to-the-store key issues and bundles at great deals. It's also a great spot for Free Comic Book Day and Halloween. They have some back issues, including some nice expensive finds on the wall and behind the glass, but since it's not the biggest shop in the world, you could probably look elsewhere for that. The customer service and atmosphere is what I come for, though, so it's my first and primary destination for new books.

My friends and I over the years have had mixed experiences at Uncanny King of Prussia. It was not…read moreactually a comic shop, but a pop culture shop with a weak selection of comics. I visited here in late summer 2021 and found positive changes, including more focus on comics. When I was traveling back through the area again, I didn't hesitate to stop in with a friend and see how it was going. That was a mistake. Uncanny had to move again to another location in the mall over by Nordstrom. Shop's exterior and interior looks nice, not sure they did the work or the previous tenant did. Space is divided into three rooms. The main area has graphic novels, another houses new pull comics, and a final room is full of longboxes. Except...there's a barricade to the longbox room. My friend was confused and asked about it as we primarily came here for the longboxes. Even after being located here for a month, they don't have them ready. This is unacceptable and I felt bad for the employee, who probably had to tell this to more than one customer. For being in a prestigious location, the King of Prussia Mall, this shop lacks a lot of what it should and most of that is direction. I recommend Showcase Comics and Games in Bryn Mawr and Brave New Worlds in Willow Grove for shops that are well stocked, stable, and reliable.

Great comic shop in an unconventional location…read more Uncanny! is the first comic book store I've ever seen in a mall. The King of Prussia Mall is a massive shopping center, but lacked many of the nerdier stores such as Hot Topic, Box Lunch, and Spencers establishments where I can buy cool shirts, figures, and other geeky merch. Uncanny! fills that niche beautifully while also delivering on the experiences I expect from my local comic shop. Uncanny! isn't the largest store, but it makes up for it with excellent space usage. Products are organized neatly into sections from clothes to comics to games. The comic sections are further divided into recent comics, graphic novels, kid comics, and back issues (old/out of print comics). The store is well kept and clean, and the colorful decor makes it feel alive, even when there is no one else shopping. If you are a die-hard collector, you might be disappointed due to the limited availability of items. As mentioned, space is limited, so you might not find some of your old collector issues or rare figurines. But you will find most everything new. If you are looking for something, call ahead. The people here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are fair, except for the odd retail-exclusive comics that are a bit higher priced than what I've seen in other comic stores. They also offer a loyalty program. Spend X-money, get Y-gift cards. It's pretty simple, free to sign up, and has no expiration. So it's worth your time if you come to the mall every month or so. If you're looking for a gift for that nerdy someone, or just want to pick up the latest DC or Marvel comic, Uncanny! is a fun little stop in your mall shopping experience.

Prices are fair, and the archives are typically priced competitively. The service is always friendly and helpful. They've never messed up a pull pile for me and they'll always check to see if I need something ordered. Whenever I'm in the area I make it a point to stop back here and shop.

I'm conflicted, really, on this one…read more I was super excited to see Reads & Company open, and right across the street from the Colonial Theater, where Lion and I spend a lot of time. We are both bibliophiles and cinephiles. I have spent so much time in bookstores browsing, discovering, exploring. A day comes when I got to town before Lion. Having time to kill before the movie we were going to see, I head over to Reads to check it out. Out front is a blackboard sign that's cute, good sign. The space is deep and somewhat narrow, which is pretty normal for the age of the architecture. You work with what you have. I first see a board of upcoming author events with books stacked below, in case someone wants to pick up the book in advance. Nice merchandising move, I think. Then I start checking out the stacks lining the walls and arranged on tables. The presentation is clean, sleek with warm tones. There are A LOT of titles here, and typically 1-2 copies of each, which is smart. Maximizing shelf space, with just-in-time supply chains you're not risking being 'out' much. The selection skews towards topical issues in politics, biographies, business, etc, and fiction. A selection of staff recommendations with write ups. There is in the back a children's section with a nook for kids to hang out in that's shaped like a rocket ship. Some absolutely adorable onesies. A perfunctory but respectable selection of YA and SciFi and Literature. No humor or books on movies/directors, which I thought would be a nice tie with the historic theater. They do have local authors in a section and some history of the local area, which is cool. Staff were very friendly once I initiated conversation, and I don't mind that. As a more introverted person I find that too bright a greeting, too much chat, especially in a place to bury myself in a book, is off-putting. They were great, really. The struggle: There are no places for anyone over the age of, say, 4, to sit, unless it's the sleek wood floor. Even in the children's area there's no place for the grownups to sit. Also, those onesies are cute and a missed opportunity for toddler and youth gear, even some adult gear of the same style and feel. If your kid's out of onesies but REALLY WANTS that Pigeon Drives the Bus onesie, you've got an unhappy toddler. This is not a place that wants you to stick around. As I struggled with how to describe it, I would say that it's most like a bookstore you'd find in an airport or a train station. A well stocked shop to spend maybe 15-20 mins in finding an acceptable title and then go on your way. This is not *bad*, it's probably a great business model for a customer looking for a book that an author just talked about on The Daily Show or just got a review in the WSJ. The quandary for me is simply that I'm not that customer, which means I may stop back in, but I wouldn't make a special trip. I want to say "Yay I'm a fan" because for whatever reason 3 stars is perceived as 'bad' but truly, it's A-OK. Not my kind of place, but a great place for a different kind of customer than I. I wish them great success as they court that customer, truly.
