I love Arsenal Comics!!! They have a huge selection of new comics to choose from. What's…read moreinteresting to me is that they carry a wide selection of variant covers and virgin covers! 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.

Ash here, speaking not only as a long time customer but as a former employee, you won't find a more…read morewelcoming environment for any kind of hobby or obsession, whether you like comics, novels, movies, trading card games, video games, heck they even have giant arcade machines! They also host musical events and charity events for the community, Oxnard simply would not be the place it is without these guys. I've actually known the owners for a while too, the kindest and fun guys you'll ever meet, shout-out Fusion and Elliot. (don't forget Alex) So if you're ever down on A Street in Oxnard, look for the big blue question mark, for it's not just a store, it's a home. :3

Stopped by the Mystery Shop today and was pleasantly surprised to see a big selection of products…read morefrom comics and graphic novels to trading cards and various toys. The last time I came a few months back, there seemed to be ongoing reorganization so I wasn't able to see everything they had to offer. While I could see it being a nice place to play for some especially with it boasting many weekly events for a variety of card games (Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, Pokemon), I felt the sealed and single selections were both pricey and less plentiful compared to what I have seen at other shops. Some services such as the charging station are great to offer especially when games of commander can take up a an hour or more!

First of all, don't come here alone if you're female. I came here with a friend and luckily he was…read morewith me because the dude "gator" was looking at me weird while I was searching through the big binders they have and while I was walking around. Then when I wanted to buy some cards the guy working called the owner for a price and it seemed like the owner was watching our interaction through the cameras the whole time? Weird. Go to places like StormxTCG in Camarillo and Card House in Ventura instead

This store has anime, Pokémon, and other stuffed plushie and collectible items. This store is…read morealways busy cause the items in here are organized and very cool. Any time I have a friend visiting, I like to take them here cause it's a very fun store to look in. The items are a little pricey, but they have collectibles that I haven't seen in other stores, so you probably are paying a premium to buy it immediately.

Cute little store with lots of items for everyone!…read more Very clean, well organized, and stocked- there's so much to look at! I was surprised they carried such a variety of items. My son found THE wallet he's been looking for by chance. We just happen to chance upon it when meeting up with another friend and her son. In mid conversation, he asked if we could purchase it and the line and service went smooth.

I love visiting Arsenal Comics in Ventura. It's truly one of the best spots in Ventura for comics…read more They have a very big selection of new comics and some back issues. This location isn't as busy as Newberry Park so if they run out of say ARK-M, then try this Ventura Location. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and always happy to help. If your new to the comic world or advanced, you can learn a thing or two from the staff. They're living the life!!!! I highly recommend Arsenal Comics in Ventura if you're in the area.

Humble, unpretentious shops that feel connected to the broader Magic community matter…read more Magic shops are a lot like bars--there's more than one, each with its own charm. People go to play different formats, and the owner sets the tone and is the barometer for the "weather" in general. Friendly, welcoming shops tend to build stronger smoother sailing communities. I didn't get that here. When I asked about local EDH events, I was told there's one Commander night. That's cool but I only play edh so I'm curious for other areas. When I asked about the broader EDH community, the owner was dismissive and overly corrective. It felt closed-off rather than supportive, especially when he made it clear he doesn't promote anything beyond his own store. That approach doesn't work for me. I prefer spaces with a more open-minded, generous vibe, not a "there can be only one" mentality. As an old-school player, I value basic respect and being part of a positive, inclusive nerd community. I'll look elsewhere.

Within Westlake Village, you will find Barnes & Noble Bookstore next to World Market. This is an…read moreexpansive bookstore located on two floors. This bookstore has an amazing selection of books for everyone and is organized well. If you cannot find a book, the staff is always there to help or order books that are not available at the store. Beyond books, the bookstore has stationary, toys and more. The store also offers a coffee shop inside which is convenient to have as you grab a book to read. The shopping center does have an expansive park lot in front but gets busy at prime times.

I really enjoy coming to this Barnes & Nobles in Westlake Village and I'm happy we have them…read more Bookstores are killing it since "BookTok" and I'm so happy to see bookstores making it and being so busy. While I support shopping at smaller bookstores, B&N has never let me down when I'm in a pinch to grab a book and with great locations like the one here in WLV it's super convenient. This B&N has a Starbucks attached inside which is convenient and definitely keeps people inside. On a hot day like today it was really nice to come inside where the air was clearly running and to have plenty of space that I didn't feel like customers were on top of one another. Definitely a busy store so I prefer to come early on a weekdays during off hours. This store is definitely massive and two stories. I love shopping where because they have such a great selection and every book you could need. They seem to have ample staffing as I've always been able to get help or ask questions which is appreciated. Overall a great B&N location and I'll be back to support.

This place is AMAAAZING!!!!! I needed to get a poster on foam backing as a visual aid for a speech…read moreI was giving the very next day. I spoke with both Andrea and Alex, who were wonderful, extremely professional, and patient. They walked me through the process and had the poster ready for pickup in 2.5 hours!!!!!! I had called other companies but none were able to move so quickly. The poster was EXACTLY what I needed, super high quality, neatly executed. The image was clear, true to color, and the surface and edges were perfectly smooth. The price was reasonable and competitive, with no rush charge! Maybe I caught them at the right moment, but having my poster ready so incredibly rapidly was a total lifesaver, allowing me to give a more complete presentation. I wish there were more companies like this, with great products and humane customer service. I will definitely use their services in the future but try to give them more advance notice!!

A small but mighty bookstore. After years of driving by this spot, what finally brought me in was…read moreseeing them on social media. I stumbled upon a post they did which was in solidarity with a group of people and seeing that our values were aligned I knew this was a local small business that I needed to be supporting from here on out. I came midweek to shop and look around, and I had a great experience. It's a smaller bookstore, but they did have a lot to choose from! I was especially happy to see that they keep up with new and trending authors/books that come out. But of course, they also had a broad selection of every type of book you could think of. Being a smaller independent bookstore they don't have mass quantity though so if you find a book you like you should grab it because they only have a copy or two of each. I found that the pricing was comparable to anywhere else but again when you shop here you're supporting local small businesses so even if it was a little pricier, it would be worth it to me. They had a cute child's/kids section in the back so it would definitely be a great place to bring your little one to look around or read a story. The vibes are welcoming, but I also appreciate when staff leave you to look around without standing over your shoulder. The gal working behind the register was super nice and checked me out with quickness, that I was in and out without issue. Nice people work here, they have a decent selection and overall it was a cute little shop that I will be back to support again soon.
