Much like the other reviews, the thing I'm going to comment on most is the customer service. It's a comic book store, so that shouldn't even be the high or lowlight of a trip, but unfortunately, it was. Being at a coffee shop also in the plaza, we saw the store sign and decide to wander in. The first thing the man at the counter said to me before a "hello" or "how's it going?" (which he actually never even said to me or my friends), was "Put down the coffee, you can't have it here." So I promptly apologized and set it on the counter. Rules are rules, I understand that so I put it down. After I put it down, he seemed to lighten up a little and made a joke about me not bringing him coffee so I laughed it off and walked around.
The only problem I had with that was I saw an area with a few tables where people were playing board games and cards, etc and there was a boy with coffee sitting right there. I guess because I am not a regular or am not playing cards (which I totally would've brought my super impressive Pokemon collection if I had known I was coming, and yes, I do have a holographic Gyrados AND Mew), that I do not get preferential treatment.
Besides that, one of my friends opened a comic book and also got scolded. Like I said, I understand rules, I work at a business establishment as well and by no means think I am superior, but when I tell my customers rules, I try to be polite and fair from the get go. At least greet them first? I don't know. And reading the other reviews, mine is not an exaggeration.
Anyways, for the good stuff. The selection! The two stars are because it is huge and well-organized. Everything has a place and section and most of the transitions in between make sense. It's fairly easy to browse and find what you're looking for, even if you're not a super, mega comic genius. There is also something for everyone. There were literally FROZEN figurines as well as Batman, Spiderman, etc and a whole section dedicated to the Walking Dead (DARYL DIXON ughhh, My hubby). It IS overpriced so I would definitely check Amazon if you don't have a few $100 to spend on comic merch unless you're very serious about it or a collector.
Lots of comics, also organized well and mostly priced from $3.50 and up, Walking Dead comics were $25.00 -.- But for the classics, you could dish out a little bit to get some cool things. I would stop by if you're in the plaza and check it out at least once because it does look really cool and I was geeking out a little, but I probably wouldn't be a return customer or make a trip to go. I would check out Tate's or Zaldiva for a regular spot. read more
