    The books I got for the kids.  Disney Hades Disney Gargoyles Quest Marvel The Savage World of Skaar

    This was my first time at this store. There were two white men working in the store. I didn't get their names but they were super nice and helpful! I looked through the $1 comic section for a while. I was looking for some comics for the kids I work with. I asked for help, explained my situation, and they pointed me to a better shelf for kids which was perfect for what I was looking for. They were also super nice bc they gave me a discount for the kids comics :) (The kids will so appreciate it!) It was my older brother's birthday and I asked them to point me over to their Spawn section. They were so helpful, they pointed me to the Sam and Twitch comics. Which was perfect bc those are my brother's and mines favorite characters from Spawn. He loved his present.

    Ask the Community - The Comic Shop

    Do you grade sports cards?

    No, we do not grade sports cards unfortunately. Only comic books.

    This is gonna be a stupid question, feel free to ignore, but I saw you guys have a manga section. Do you guys carry "Yu Yu Hakusho Vol 5" by any chance? If not, don't even worry about it.

    Sorry for the late answer, We do not have Yu Yu Hakusho vol 5. Great question, Give the Shop a call and we can get you and answer to most of the burning Manga questions! Thank you -E

    Do they buy comic books?

    No, they don't buy comics, but they have a guy (Raymond) who helps with grading comics who works on Sundays.

They're really helpful. They have a few long boxes set up in the front with 1 dollar comics and 5 dollar graphic novels in the front of the store. Singles are kept in the 1$ long boxes which include a lot Marvel, Image, Valiant, Ultraverse comics from the 90s, you'll also find some DC and vertigo titles as well. Sifting through these boxes gave me flashbacks of when I was a comic collector in the 90s. Towards the back left and back wall of the store, you'll find shelves of graphic novels, omnibus, and other collected editions. Back issues are set up on a large table in the back. You can find a mixed selection of different titles from Silver age to modern. I found surprising inventory of certain title runs. I have a bit more exploring to do in this store. Crush carries good comic storage stuff - boxes, bags and boards (BCW brand) on the right side of the store.

We sat in the car to enjoy our lunch, then went back to the store for more bargains. The bookstore has some outside vendors too.

I have not seen many back issues with the exception of wall comics. They have a pretty large area of clearance $1 comics on the left side of the store which seem to be 2-3 years old books. I like that these $1 boxes are on tables and my back appreciates that they are easy to sort through. They also have an inventory of collected editions which includes trade paperbacks, hardcovers, omnibus, and compendiums. The owner Kerry has tried to help me find some obscure current comic books a couple times which I appreciate. The staff have all been helpful and easy to work with. I believe they do a significant amount of business in trading card/game card these days, but still have a respectable comic offering.

You can never be too safe. You're greeted at the door and someone's always there to say hi and or help you for whatever you're looking for. I usually head straight to the back since that's where the comics are. Once done, I head to the left side of the store where there's someone ready to bag and board your comics for you. I just signed up for their membership and not sure what it entails but since I go so often, made sense to get it. They have a beautiful selection of comics for the right price and you won't have to question if it's above MSRP. It's pretty convenient to visit if you're checking out the rest of the plaza.
