Fantastic online experience. They had a specific comic my boyfriend had been searching for and didn't find, in a much larger city than Pittsburgh, and for a great price. Shipping was a little steep for one item but it was delivered in sturdy cardboard packaging-- it would have been incredibly hard to bend it in any way thanks to the durability of the packing material. It also arrived super quickly. I couldn't have asked for a nicer transaction! read more

I guess this is now my local LCS 2500 miles away. The owner of the LCS 3 blocks away from my house retired so I had to search for a new one. I get excellent service here so why not just keep using them. read more

Very friendly service. Helpful. Tons of comics and hard to get ratios. Normal prices. Worth the trip.

This is a great albeit little addition to the South Side - and not just for comic readers. I say that because I am not an avid comic reader but I really enjoyed exploring this little place. They seem to offer a decent range of comics considering that they're not the biggest shop in the city. From what I could gather the place carries both back issue and new comics from different publishers (primarily Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, and IDW). Their website says that they get new ones in every Wednesday, so I suspect that if you're reading the latest comics this is a great shop to keep in mind. They're also happy to look for/order a comic if you can't find it and you absolutely must have it. But hey, even if you're like me and you're not a religious comic reader, that's ok! While superhero comics are their primary trade they also offer a few more things that may be of interest to you. Their "Walking Dead" books in particular caught my eye since this is a series of interest to me. Plus - and this made the 5 year old in me super happy - they also sell nerdy toys, cups, and other trinkets. I think I spotted some Magic: The Gathering cards on sale as well. I left after my first visit here happy and with an Avengers cup, a button and a "Guardians Of The Galaxy" POP! figure - all for under $30! Not bad at all. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're interested in any of the things I've mentioned. read more

I ordered two comics that I had missed online from South Side. The ordering process was easy and shipping was quick and cost effective. I received the comics with backs and boards as well. I would highly recommend this comic shop and will use it again! read more

Only speaking from the ONLINE side of things. The website, and everything is easy enough to navigate. But after I made my comic selections I selected the default shipping, the 5 dollar option. 2 weeks later I'm upset because my comics still haven't shown. I email a complaint and they apologize and said that the next time I ordered something that they'd refund me the shipping. 4 days later my comics arrive, picture perfect if I might add. But then I ordered some stuff yesterday and paid for the next tier above default shipping, the 15 dollar option. I only selected that one just so it wouldn't take 2.5 weeks to finally show up! So I emailed them explaining the previous refund deal... they reply they'll refund me the 5 dollars and nothing more. Ugh it pissed me off! This is the last time I order stuff online from them! read more

Fantastic owner and shop. It's great to have found a comic shop in Brentwood where I can pick up all my favorite reads and discover new ones. South Side Comics is definitely 'my shop' for all things Fantastic and Marvel! read more

It's a small store packed with goodness. Nice selection of comics and toys. Staff is helpful but not rude or annoying as some employees can be at other shops. read more

Your friendly neighborhood comic book store! This is a nice, well-organized little shop in Brentwood (not South Side anymore), conveniently located directly across the street from Giant Eagle so you can pick up some groceries along with your comics! The guy who runs it has been very helpful and kind. He couldn't get all the variant covers I wanted in time, so he sold me the regular versions and let me swap them for the variant covers when they came in. Excellent customer service. read more

A cute small Comic Book store in South Side. The store is extremely clean and well organized, With well stocked and neatly filled Bookshelves. It's also cozy with a small coffee table and seats with some treats if you want to sit and read. The backroom has all the Previous issues neatly in boxes for browsing and posters neatly on the wall. This is definitely different to the Cluttered and often outdated look to many Bigger comic book stores. I really enjoy this atmosphere alot. Their selection mainly caters to Western comics, you can still find a good variety of titles on the shelves for most demographics, Males and females alike. Also like most comic shops they get new issues every Wednesday. due to it's size and the slower relaxed ambience there's very little fear of issues being completely sold out when you get there (however I did notice all the Mad Max comics sold out likely due to the movie, this made me chuckle) I try to stop by whenever I'm in the area and buy quite a number of Image titles and some DC titles that they have available. The guy running the place is pretty quiet and reserved but answers any questions I had about when the next issues are to be released. The first time I was visiting i was wondering if they had any Books from GRRM's "A song of Ice and FIre" series since my hand-me-down copies are with a friend. Since They had Pop figures of the show, I inquired and He was more than happy to order anything you need/looking for. Since i saw some new issues i was curious about I decided to buy those first and order next time! Prices are what's expected. Atmosphere was great. A pleasant experience! read more

Don't bother with this company. They will change your order without informing you, not giving you the opportunity to cancel or modify your order. Terrible customer service to boot. read more

Best place for comics in Pittsburgh! Immediately greeted upon entry. Been looking for Klaus with no luck. Asked and the man working there immediately knew where it was. Now I have all of Klaus! read more
