As an actual avid comic book reader, the 1-star reviews don't track with my repeat weekly experiences here. I'm not usually one to jump into commenting about other folk's reviews... but since it seems like they were left by ze crème de la crème~, I figure I should at least submit a counter balancing review.
Obviously, from not being there during the 3 year old's traumatizing YELLING... I can only say that the three clerks (including the owner) behind the counter I've encountered in my many visits, are almost painfully mild mannered, friendly, helpful folks. I can't even imagine any one of them looking, acting, or sounding vicious enough to be traumatizing. I mean, I guess the temperature in the room IS about room temp (70 degrees) so if you are or are raising a snowflake... Do not enter... you might melt.
Low quality in what way Mr Deadpool? The place is well organized, the shelves are modern, clean and not some wired shelving. I would only place Borderlands (only the top dog in the area) above it. Easy to scan. New, new books to the left, issues that are recent as you go deeper, and back issues there beyond. They usually have new books that other shops in the area pull for subscribing die-hards and/or are sold out of. The place is small, sure. But they're expanding... and what's your ideal state? LESS comic book stores? You want eBay as THE source for your hobby? Knock yourself out, man...
Planet comics is my go-to for new/recent comics. I go to Borderlands for the experience, and I go to Richard's for back issues and to talk comics. They're all valuable vendors and members of the community. read more
