I came across ca comic book store in Fairfield on Wednesday, and although comic books aren't…read moregenerally thought to be cool I think the store itself was. Queen City Comics, located in the Diplomat Village center along the Dixie Highway, has thousands and thousands of comic books in their store, all of the classics and a large selection of ones the average person--myself included--has never heard of. The extensive collection of comic books is alphabetized, making it very easy to find what you are looking for, but they also have a "This Week's New Comics" section to feature the latest comic books. Queen City Comics isn't limited to just the comic books, however, as they also have a lot of other collector's items. I saw t-shirts, posters/movie posters, actions figures, trading cards, and even a life-size figure of a comic book character (maybe the Green Lantern or someone), although I am not sure that was for sale. I don't read comic books but I think that Queen City Comics is a neat store. I am convinced they have (or have had) pretty much every comic book out there. From classics like Batman, the Adventures of Superman, and the Avengers to even Disney and Simpsons comic books, they have a huge collection of comic books and related collector's items, making it the perfect store for comic lovers.

Went in today and the guy at the register started blaring some political YouTube or radio show as I…read morewas digging in the short boxes. I tried to tune it out but it was impossible. I don't particularly care what your politics are, I like comics. If I don't know you I am not going to talk politics especially now and the complete lack of awareness of this guy was really something. Then another employee?/friend? came in and started talking all sorts of nonsense which certainly isn't appropriate for customers to hear. I put down the books I was going to buy and went next door to the Toy Department and spent my money there instead. I don't know if this store is owned by the same people who own the store on Montgomery road but if it is the owner needs to do something bc the store in Montgomery is great and this one is a nightmare.

Future Great Comics is a new local comic book shop in Hamilton. They opened up almost a year ago. I…read morecould not be more excited about it because the last time we had a comic book shop in Hamilton was when I was a small child, and then that quickly turned into a tobacco store of all things! It's so great to not have to travel at least 30 minutes away to get some fresh comics. The owner, Brian, is super very friendly and helpful. He is one of the nicest, coolest people you'll ever meet. He's not at all stuck up or rude like at other comic shops... *cough* Queen City Comics *cough cough*. They sell new comic issues and some back issues as well. If you don't see something you want, Brian will be more than happy to try to order it in for you if he can. He started carrying Invader Zim just for me and my husband. They also sell toys and collectibles, they have a good selection of Funko Pop figures. They sell graphic novels, manga, table top gaming supplies and t-shirts too. He is always getting some good rare stuff into the store that he found at flea markets or auctions. They also regularly hold costume contests, signings by artists, and other such events. They have a table top gaming space in the back of the store. I know he is trying to get a program started where people can come in, sit down, chill out and try out a table top game, and afterwards he will start selling the games in the store if people really take to it. Indeed, this is a godsend and a lovely, wonderful gem to have in Hamilton. Do yourself a favor and stop in, chat with Brian, buy some of his awesome merch, and maybe sit down for a game or two. This store deserves all of your business!! Don't let another comic book shop get away from Hamilton! Especially not an amazing one like this.

I completely disagree, however, with him on the customer service and selection. In any case, THIS location is BANANAS gorgeous. Much of the place is inherited from the previous tenant but it gives the shop a sense of welcoming, cleanliness, and even grandeur that would make ANY retailer envious. More than that, though, how they've utilized the space is excellent. The way everything is displayed and organized makes for a comic shop that feels REVERENT of comics, games, figures and the various accoutrements of geekdom, rather than the typical fetishising. Most comic shops feel sleazy in a way that can only be experienced, not described; average shops are cluttered and cramped and coated in a very particular miasma. It's an atmosphere and environment that I actually love, as do many comic heads. You acquire the taste or buy online. The nature of comics has changed now. People that want to dip their toes, or have always been curious, people that don't know the lingo and the culture are starting to wander into the average comic store and they're intimidated. They feel awkward, where do I start? It seems so impregnable. Not here. I've taken my girlfriend, my mom and my nephew's. Everything feels airy, accessible and comfortable. The selection is great, the staff is great. It's a little hidden but this joint is EASILY one of the, if not THE, top shops in Cincinnati. I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you've ever felt a little bit awkward or intimidated at another store.

Their selection of toys and games was excellent. They also have a great selection of old-school comics. To be honest I am not really that into antiques but this store made me want to get into such things. This store truly was like stepping back in time. I have a hankering to return here and go antique shopping. My recommendation for improvement is to get a better selection of new comics. That would make this a 5 star store. Bottom line: if you're looking for antiques or old-school comics or toys in the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana area, I would go here.

They also sell a number of things I don't know as much about -- baseball and trading cards, some collectible toys. I moved to the Cincinnati area in September and for the first month or so was casting about looking for a comic shop. I had really built a relationship with the shop I used to frequent in the Boston area and was sad to leave. Although this place is very convenient for me, it took me a little while to step inside. I think the reason is that I was thrown off by the name of the store -- I didn't want to go to a place that was primarily a sports collectible store with a few copies of Batman or X-men thrown in for good measure. Well, I needn't have worried. As soon as I got in the door I saw that it is extremely large and complete, with all the current and recent backissue titles of Marvel and DC that you would expect, with a large "non-big 2" representation as well. I am used to a much smaller on-hand supply of back issues in my comic book stores than Maverick's has, it is actually pretty impressive. Once I find a place I like, I have a rather extensive pull list for new comics and I enjoy conversation about what new books are coming out, what suggestions the staff has for me, etc. Leo does a great job in this respect, and takes good care of me. I have had him order a graphic novel here or there or to keep an eye out for a second printing of an issue I want and he is great. I have recently been asking Leo for recommendations about comics for younger kids/appropriate for all ages and his suggestions have been very helpful.

Once the card is filled, you receive $50 to spend in the store. This is an amazing deal. I'll end with this. I recently visited Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, the store featured in AMC's Comic Book Men. The experience was memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. The guys from the shows were major tools. The only thing I took away from the experience was that I really missed Rockin' Rooster. If you want comics AND amazing customer service, shop here. You won't regret it and eventually you'll become a regular too.
