Service: Great service here at the Comic Bug to help you find a comic book you may be looking to find. It is nice to have a local friendly comic store to help you find old past issues of a comic line or help you find a new title you may enjoy. Selection: Comics are a finicky priced item depending on the collectibility of the line. My first printing of the entire Batman Beyond line that I paid only a few bucks for is worth a lot more today (especially because I got them graded). The selection here is for new titles and back issues are in the more modern line of comics. Anything silver age or earlier is not going to be in the bins. Value: Comics are a value that you find them or the collectors market finds them. You will be paying cover price plus tax for all new titles.

My review is specifically for that Pokémon dealer in the far left corner when you enter the show,…read morethe one inside that little room. I met Vincent, and he recognized my kids and me - we're noobs when it comes to Pokémon cards and pretty much only buy $1-2 bulk foil cards for fun, and we've walked the floor maybe once before. Vincent is a gem of a dealer and human being. He gave my boys sleeves, and even $5 full alt-art foils at no cost. Needless to say, for any future Pokémon purchases, I'm coming to these guys first. They also had 6-7 binders full of great $1-2 cards and it's exactly what we're looking for. Ended up walking out with $20 worth of $1 cards, not including their gifts to my boys. I get it, we're not high-dollar spenders for this hobby, but these guys treated us like we were. Vincent and his team deserve all the business they get.

One more thing worth noting is that they're organized between the Indys, Marvel, and DC. I get confused sometimes between the variant/original and new vs last weeks. This is my problem though. The selection is outstanding. I haven't been to Golden Apple in Hollywood, but the fact it's in Hollywood keeps me away. I'd rather drive 20 more minutes to a clean, safe, a very good service store. BTW, they have back issues. It's not a huge selection but they're reasonably market priced.

Consequently, I wasn't expecting much when I visited the Gardena location but I was pleasantly surprised! This location offers robust selections of actually used Japanese books and hard to find comics. I ended up spending some $132 just buying up all the books and comics to my heart's contentment. I even found a rarely ever seen or heard of Tezuka Osamu comic too. I have read just about everything he ever published but never seen or heard of this particular anthology collection. I was so thrilled!!!! Additionally, the staff here is very friendly and helpful. They share the same kind of enthusiasm and sense of humor about books as I do, which made me feel instantly happy. And the 2 bucks manga deals?! Unbeatable! I'm looking forward to visit again just to see what I might discover next time!
