But Jason is a pretty friendly guy, will order what you need, that 25% off every day for trades is amazing when I don't see other shops doing that at all !

Having been in comics for 40 years, I'm tired of seeing shop owners who lack customer service. I'm…read morean experienced collector and know how to handle comics so I don't appreciate being told I can't open them to check for condition. Even though he was willing to open them for me, I tend to buy dozens at a time and could potentially be at the register for 30 min while he opens them for me. I'm not looking for perfect customer service but there's a way to talk to people. He wasn't rude but had the personality of a rock. I'm in my 50's and don't appreciate being treated like a child. Put up signage if you don't want people to open the books. And how about a break it or buy it policy? Even though I handle the books better than most store owners, if I damage the book while examining it, I'll pay for it. You already got cameras on me so what's the problem. I won't be back. (Replying to the owner's reply: A better response would have been, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience and misunderstanding. I'll take your thoughts into consideration and strive to create a better experience for my customers. I appreciate your visiting my store and I hope that you have a more positive experience if you ever return." Now THAT would win my business.

Mike, the aforementioned Mr Wayne himself, truly shows how much he cares for his business and his customers the moment you walk into the store. His inventory is always changing so even if you stop by once a week you'll always see new items ranging from Star Wars to Transformers to even WWE. But man, does he have a lot! Even if you don't end up buying anything, his expertise in geekdom shows if you decide to have a conversation with him. Not only is he the friendliest collectible store owner, but one of the friendliest small business owners I've had the pleasure to meet. I am moving cross-country next week, but I know that one of the hallmark places to go when I visit Chicago is Mr Waynes Popculture Collectibles and I suggest anyone else visiting Chicago do the same.

If you're a DC and Marvel reader, you'll be in for a treat--especially if you're into older/classic issues. When all was said and done, I found one book to take home with me--an old Star Wars back issue--and I was pretty happy. On top of that, the owner was nice enough to give me a handful of magazine bags and boards for a super generous price (I've been in need of some but couldn't justify buying a 100 pack!). He was kind and attentive; I could tell he was a good dude. :) Recommend!

I didn't know where to start and I think I stood out because the store owner himself asked if I needed any help, very nice of him. I knew what I wanted just didn't know where to start, but he ended up finding all the comics I was looking for. I don't truly know the value of comic books since I'm a beginner, but to me the books I got we worth every cent. I was more than happy with what I got and I will definitely be coming back to get the other books I wasn't able to get today. I spent less than $80 for a bunch of books. Now I have to get cases.

These guys had prints that I haven't been able to locate at other shops, and everything was extremely well organized. Books were in great condition, and the staff were so kind and helpful. Very much a "reader's" comic shop, but they have tables set up for your D&D game or Magic or really whatever your fancy is. Best of all, the prices are fair, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better value in the area. I'll definitely be back. I would die for more time to dig through their back issues.

I wanted to like this place -- the location is nice and most of the staff were friendly and…read morehelpful. Unfortunately, several experiences left me really disappointed. First, their store credit policy makes no sense: you can't use it on "premium" items, which defeats the purpose of having store credit at all. On top of that, when I sold them some premium Magic: The Gathering cards, the prices I was given were for the wrong versions. Because I had my three kids with me at the time, I didn't notice until later, but it felt dishonest and not worth the argument. What bothered me most, though, was how they treated me as a newer customer. I stood waiting for about 15 minutes with my kids while staff ignored me to casually chat and eat with tournament patrons who weren't even doing business at the time. They had recognized me, but still dismissed me while I was clearly trying to complete a transaction. It made me feel like my time -- and my business -- weren't valued. Most of the staff were nice, but the older bald gentleman was rude and dismissive, which really stood out. Between the poor credit rules, the card pricing issue, and the way I was treated as a customer, I can't recommend Thunder Comics. If they want to encourage more sales and playtime in their store, they should focus more on being fair, welcoming, and attentive -- especially to new customers

Always great to walk in, have a talk, and keep adding on to my collection. Another positive is it is right off the prairie path which is super nice, especially cause I bike every now and then. Highly recommend Unicorn Comics and Cards!
