Popped in here to look for some back issues for my husband. While there are tons of back issues in…read morelong boxes, they are very unorganized and inaccessible. Boxes are labeled but don't seem to be in any logical order and there were a bunch of boxes we couldn't even look at because they were underneath a plastic table cloth with stuff on top of them. Also, there was a boxes Funko Pop on the shelf. I went to grab it to ask my husband if it was one he needed for his collection and I was told to be careful because it wasn't for sale. Alright. Maybe that needs to be on a shelf behind the counter then. Or there needs to be a sign on that shelf that says nothing on it is for sale. Alas. Could be a nice source for back issues if they were organized and accessible.

I can't figure out why the reviews here are so high, because it is not an impressive store. It is…read moremessy, and unorganized. When I came in, what I assume to be one employee was sitting on a couch watching soccer on the tv. The other didn't look up from behind the counter to say hello or anything. I wish I could say I shopped around for a while, but there is little organization, and back issues just seem to be randomly in different places. I left without buying anything when the employee snapped at my wife when she picked up an item, that the employee said wasn't for sale. Sorry, but don't put it on the sales floor then, or at least clearly mark it. Not a stretch to assume that the comic book merchandise in the comic book shop is for sale. If it isn't why do you have it out? The attitude and tone of the employees was not inviting, and borderline rude.

The employee at the counter was nice and chill. Answered any question I had. It was kind of dark in the back. It was well lit for the rest of the store though.

For a large, full comic book shop, I have nothing good to say about this place. It is very…read moreuninviting, I didn't see or hear any employee when I entered or while shopping. A simple hello goes a long way, but the only person who seemed to maybe work here was engrossed in his phone too much to even notice I was shopping. This store LOOKS well stocked, but it's almost entirely an illusion. It's mostly funko pops, which is fine, but they are dispersed throughout the store in a way that makes finding anything specific impossible. The rest of the figures are old peg warmers marked ilup significantly from msrp. Speaking of wildly crazy markups, the huge selection of back issues are marked "minimum of $3" regardless of the sticker price. The back issues are clearly a large collection of dollar bin books purchased, never sorted, and just flopped out onto the tables like raw meat. It is impossible to shop the back issues unless you have all day to sort through the completely and utterly random boxes. This store lacks any charm, or charisma and seems to be simply a way for the owners to price gouge dollar issues to people who don't know any better. Even the issues being sold at a premium are 3-4 dollars more expensive here than online. In addition, there is signage throughout the store that warns shoplifters that they will be sued for 100,000 dollars if they steal, which i understand is a deterrent for what is probably a real problem, but phrasing it like this reinforces the fact that this place is only looking for an extra buck on goods that are not worth the price, nor effort to steal. If they would actually expend a modicum of effort to clean up the back issues, and break away from the cycle of price gouging comics to kids in the mall, they'd have a decent location and stock, but in the state it is in now, you're better off going to a swap meet.

He delighted in showing us pieces from his collection and took real joy in sharing what makes certain comics special. You can tell this isn't just inventory to him; it's art, history, and craft. The shop itself is fantastic: a carefully curated selection of high-quality comics, a great assortment of Pokémon cards, and even a space dedicated to in-person gaming. He also has customized merchandise, things like unique pins and plushes, that you won't find anywhere else and that really reflect his love for the medium. What really stood out, though, was how warm and generous he was. He even gave my son two pins which he promptly affixed to his hat. If you love comics, collectibles, or just supporting passionate, thoughtful small business owners, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is something special.

Upon entering, I realized the shop was much larger than I had expected. Looks like it may have been 2 shops merged into one at some point. There's a large connected room with a massive Anime books and poster collection. Lots of fun and unique finds. The man at the cashier was friendly and helpful. We left with just a couple small figures but would love to spend more time looking over the variety of books and collectibles. Any shop that includes Hip Hop has my vote!

First time at A Shop Called Quest and honestly, first time in any comic book store, so we walked in…read morelike newborn deer on wobbly legs. We got a quick greeting at the door and then were left to fend for ourselves in the Marvel wilderness. The store is super organized and visually on point. My son made a beeline for the Spider‑Man section like it was calling his name. My daughter, who has zero interest in comics, appreciated that they also sell books, tees, Funko Pops, and other merch so she didn't have to pretend to care about Peter Parker's problems. Checkout was smooth, and the cashier immediately pitched their membership program. Totally fine, it's a one‑time fee, not a monthly situation but we're just not ready to invest in that level of comic commitment yet. Prices were reasonable: about seven bucks for most issues and one $35 comic my son proudly bought with his own money. I let him live his best life. The plot twist came a week later when he sat down to read everything... and realized he accidentally bought three copies of the same comic because the covers were different. Variant covers: 1. Newbies: 0. A tiny heads‑up from the cashier would've saved us from the accidental collector's edition starter pack. All that said, the store is clean, cool, and has the exact comic‑shop vibe you expect. We'll definitely be back, just with a little more research and maybe a checklist so we don't accidentally buy the trilogy of the same issue again. Great spot overall, just not the most newbie‑friendly. But we'll return, now slightly wiser and definitely more cautious around pretty cover art.
