They've been around forever, but the shop has a great selection of old and new publications. You can find all your monthlies here, create a pull pile, and browse the archives. Great selection of trade paperbacks and hard cover collections. Some harder to find editions as well. They also have an decent selection of figures and other collectibles. Prices are fair, and the archives are typically priced competitively. The service is always friendly and helpful. They've never messed up a pull pile for me and they'll always check to see if I need something ordered. Whenever I'm in the area I make it a point to stop back here and shop.

Thank goodness for 4th Wall…read more The owners are all fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable, and really know how to make their customers feel welcome and happy. The comics along the wall are newer (#1s are all the way toward the back of the store), and on the shelves you can find what you're looking for by imprint and then title. All the big names are there -- Marvel and DC -verse standards, Walking Dead, everything Brian K. Vaugh has ever done. Older issues are in $.50 boxes that are fun to dig through. If there's something you don't see, they're able to put in an order for you. We did that for a specific series my daughter was looking for (Phoebe and Her Unicorn), and we received a call a week or two later that it was ready for pick up. On one of our early visits, my daughter and I were having a conversation lamenting the lack of lead female characters that weren't just eye candy or a "girl" version of the something-something-"Man" version. She loves comics, but is still just an impressionable 9-year-old and isn't ready for some of the nuanced or complicated story lines, love trysts, and often over-sexualized imagery found in comics. Jared joined in our conversation and introduced us to Lumberjanes (which we adore), Smile, and Squirrel Girl. Since then, we've also found Silk, Princeless, Nimona, and Ms. Marvel. And I can't remember if it was him or Jim who introduced me to East of West, but his recommendation for me was just as spot-on as for my daughter. East of West is now one of my go-tos, along with Saga, Rat Queens, Papergirls (yes, yes, I'm an Image fan), Black Panther, etc. Find a series you like? Sign up for a subscription -- you can come pick your issues up at your convenience. Looking for more than just comics? There are tons of Funko pops (whole shelving section) and more high-end statuary (glass case at checkout) for the collectors, a small section for kid-appropriate (reasonably priced) comics, and all sorts of fun games along the wall opposite the new comics (board games, card games, D&D, etc.). The store has recently expanded, and now their gaming space is contained in a separate section, opening up more room in the "main" store for comic boxes and displays. If you're interested in gaming, check out their Facebook page or Instagram account. They're pretty active, and you'll find info on upcoming events.

Comix Connection has moved to the Carlisle Commerce Center, a plaza down the road from its old…read morelocation at the West Manchester Mall and/or Town Center. The shop is located in the Weis Markets part of the center and has plenty of parking. New space is similar in layout to the Mechanicsburg location. One wall of the shop was covered by various collectibles including Pop Vinyls and a good new pull comic selection. Long boxes with a fair selection of back issues line the shops other wall and above them are some of the shops less valuable wall books. The most valuable wall books are located behind the counter on the wall, but they are more than willing to let you search though them. A good selection of trade paperbacks is located in the back middle of the shop on shelves. Make sure to check out the full size Spider-Man in the back corner. Staff member was pleasant to chat with. Overall it's a good shop, but I would say the selection at the Mechanicsburg location is a little better in terms of long boxes and wall books. Still worth a stop if you're in the area.

The best comic store!!!!! (Simple statement, five exclamation points, so there)…read more Super friendly "counter monkeys" who really know their stuff (I learned things about Peter Parker I wish I hadn't) and provide the best customer service I've ever experienced. Go ahead, ask them anything, and within seconds you'll get a lesson in comic history like no other. They will also work their tails off to find anything you need, whether it takes a call to their sister store or to the distributor. Forgot to pick up a comic on Wednesday? No problem, call and ask them to put it in your box. Oh yeah, they have a subscription service, so you'll never miss out again. Special events sprinkled throughout the year give you a chance to save big and connect with local artists and the owners. You'd be surprised how many local artists live in York and how many of them make Comix Connection their "home." That means while you are saving big on Free Comic Book Day or during an anniversary sale, you get spectacular sketches and tons of signed books. And the owners are real gems. They continually give back to their customers and the community. And that's what really sets this store apart: when you come here, you truly feel like part of a community. As a lapsed comic book reader, that really made the difference.

It's been in Highspire for a couple of years, but I did have a chance to stop in. The familiar logo and green paint stand out on Main Street. The decorative windows are the brightest part of that block of older buildings. The interior is well-organized on two floors and packed with collectibles, toys, comics, and related merchandise. Most of the current and recent backlist comics and books are priced, but you may have to ask for a market price on some unticketed items. But the staff is helpful. The store is easy to reach from Middletown, Harrisburg, and just off the Harrisburg junction of 283 and the Harrisburg East exit of the PA Turnpike

This is one of the nicest comic/action figure/misc stores I have ever seen. Layouts were clear and grouped by interest. Displays were carefully designed with the collector in mind. The amount of stock is great, especially back issues. I saw something I've never seen before - ECs from the 50s!! One area that I am still collecting. Most stores only carry the later reprints. Nice, but none that I need at the time. There are separate displays for comics, magazines, action figures, sals items, suggested reading, and a nice area just for kids with a great selection. The manager was helpful,and very knowledgeable, and we had great conversations. There are multiple areas marked for sales prices, including several boxes of low priced comics and magazines. And especially of note: I read recently of the difficulty of finding new packs of Pokemon cards. Some dealers were charging $9 to $13 for the new packs, due to shortages. Comic Store West has them for $6, with a limited amount you can buy. That alone tells me a lot about caring and watching out for the consumer. If you are in the York area looking for comics, this should definitely be your first stop! Highly recommended.
