They have an unbelievable amount of comics and collectables that revert me back to being a kid (in a candy store). I can always find something of interest, DC, Marvel or independent if they dont have it I am sure they know of it. For me the knowledge of the staff is great as many of them collect and or read comics and therefore I have some interesting talks or debates . I highly recommend this comic store for the collector in you! Also they have a pretty cool little cafe to get a coffee or drink inside as well. Hero up!

I did not enjoy my visit to this store. I was there in the past and remembered why i have not been…read moreback. The owner has books way over priced. On this visit he was not helpful. I was looking for specific books to complete my run. He was too concerned with bagging and boarding books at his counter. I asked what he had and what the prices of those books were but he would not tell me. Instead he said it would take him a while to finish doing what he was doing and that i should check "over there" to see the ones in his case. I would have liked to see what he had and if he really wanted to make a sale he would have showed me the key books he had right there at the cash. Not a friendly owner and the store is a mess. I would not recommend this store. There are better options out there.

People complain about it being cramped but Tim always knew where something was when I was looking for it, he taught me how to play magic the gathering, and he witnessed my joy when I found a "cowboys of moo mesa" and my childhood flooded back. He didn't charge me for that old torn up comic from the used bin, "when someone gets that much joy from something I can't put a price on it." I miss going by and hope to be able to travel back up and visit again.

A clearly delineated section that says, say, "This week's comics" is probably not too much to ask for. Yes, the staff tends to be helpful, but I can't see this being a sort of place that I'd visit for anything other than a faint hope they'll have something, and it's too much a mess to visit to browse. Such a shame. Plus, a special no on wheelchair accessibility; it's down a flight of stairs from the street, but even if they got in the aisles would be too cramped to navigate.

If you're a fan of either of these genres, The Paperback Exchange could easily warrant a five star rating. Seeing as how I don't have an interest in either, the selection for me was pretty limited. However, after some concerted digging, I plucked a copy of The Memory Keeper's Daughter from the shelf. It kept me entertained on my flight back to New York which is pretty priceless considering that it saved me from flipping through the SkyMall magazine again!

They have a children's area which has the material from their old Little Island location. I could imagine taking a nibling in there to go comics shopping and having a good time. Entry requires masking which, well, we're still in the middle of a pandemic so protecting the staff and yourselves is just a good idea. The books aren't cheap but they don't overcharge, so that's good; you need to just disabuse yourself of the brain poison that Amazon has infected everyone with.

This review is for curbside pick up during lockdown…read more The Beguiling has moved online and if you've got a connection, you can browse and order for delivery or pick up. Their selection is pretty solid, with lots of titles from smaller publishers and creators overseas already in store, so if you're in a rush for something you thought was obscure, the Beguiling might have you covered! Because they do have a wide selection, and possibly because they are handling a number of orders this season, i did experience a discrepancy between their website vs. in-store inventory. However, the have great online service. When I made an query they were super quick to respond, and they were also very helpful in making alternative suggestions to replace what they didnt have in stock. As for the pick up, they have staff stationed at a partitioned checkout window, so when you arrive you can walk up, give your name and pay for your order safely amd easily. Staff inside also have access to a microphone in case someone's having a hard time hearing. Overall, as they profess, the Beguiling does live up to its claim of premium window shopping. Whether comics and zines are your jam or if you need a zine/comic-related gift for someone else, consider visiting the Beguiling website or strolling up to their shopping window. If you can't visit in person, they also offer free delivery on orders of $80+.

The efforts go into the merchandise and service rather than ambiance, and considering the near impossibility for a comic store to muffle that stuffy feeling, I'd settle for what Atomic Age has going. The store houses a good collection of comics and graphic novels, offering new and vintage. And of course, the usual knick knacks at the front counter. The owner is very nice and helpful and will order in issues of series not found on shelves for customers. It's a pretty easygoing place and owner was great with helping me find what I was looking for, but it's a little too packed inside for browsing. Good place to visit if you are able to locate it - it's very small and easily overlooked, and located in a mainly residential neighbourhood. Normally a place like this would get the standard 3 stars but the owner was very helpful and friendly so it gets a bump up.

Admittedly, it's okay to kill time in, if you don't mind having to root around like a truffle hunting hog, but it manages to combine strange selection (I found a bunch of Tron action figures) with strangely high prices. You might find a good value, or something. It violates pretty much every rule of retail in terms of organization and presentation, being more like a massive single retailer basement rummage sale. It's a shame, since the downtown store has been improving and the junction store is a good venue. I guess this is the picture in the attic.
