This isn't the nicest location in terms of the city's ever-growing comic book landscape, but the…read moreowner is always extremely friendly and has been helping me find what I need for years. The only problem is that everything is so jam packed in this store that you'll always need help to find things. To be honest, I think that Warp 2 Comics (a few doors down) has a better selection and better organization, but the staff there have always been cold to me (and yet much friendlier to guys who visit the store, which says a lot), so I'm more inclined to spend my money at Comic King.

The Mall Manager has moved over and seems to really be cleaning up the place, prices are coming down, clutter and mess is being taken care of and they now have a huge graphic novel selection. With knowledgeable employees that actually read current books, Comic King is still the best comic shop in Edmonton.

Always a pleasure to visit this store! Great selection and friendly staff. Recommend highly.read more

Next door is where you gather with random people and play card tournaments such as magic the gathering and etc. This place seems to have a decent price for their board games with plentiful of comics. Their models/action figures are quite pricey. Staff is friendly, parking is extremely cramped even around the building. Haven't checked if they have washrooms but the layout was quite sufficient. You may need to squeeze in-between people while browsing in-store due to the small space inside. But either than that, yup i'd buy board games here. Only problem is the location, exiting can be a hassle if your driving. Recommended for guys with spectacles, or just for browsing.

Hello True Believers,…read more Comic Fever in North Central Edmonton is an awesome little comic shop. My favorite attribute is the incentives! If you keep a file you get a discount, the more books you by, the more uyou save (up to 25% off cover price) also regular sales and promotions make each trip exciting beyond your new reads. I'm not into gaming but it is also quite a hotbed for gaming activity. With regularly scheduled campaigns played instore it can be a very interactive enviroment.

The store was jam packed with shoppers galore and seemed to be a pretty happening place. The staff were friendly and there was a large variety of comic books to peruse. The kiddos like the young reader book section (great choices for graphic novels). I didn't realize they bought and sold books here as well. A highlight of this location is the life-size Doctor Who Tardis. While this isn't our local comic book store, it's always fun to check out another Comic Book store and see what's new! Two Thumbs Up!

Danica is a kind of "comic whisperer," with a great talent for suggesting titles you'll love based on other things you've liked. She's introduced me to so many great books. Brandon is also fantastic. I've absolutely had the experience of getting ignored when shopping for comics, and the personal attention Danica and Brandon give to all their customers is really fantastic. I also really appreciate the number of community driven events they host in the store. Overall, a fantastic addition to the community.

Tons of tempting action figures and sculptures. Books on creating comics. The staff are always helpful and willing to assist me in finding anything I can't quite place or remember. The negative reviews I've read here seem to expect some kind of big-box-store phony PR campaign from the staff. I think they are mistaking people who are naturally shy or introverted (typical comic book readers?) with being unfriendly or unwilling to help. When I've taken the time to engage with the guys who work here I've had nothing but great experiences, digging through crates to find a certain story arc with my favorite characters, getting recommendations based on other things I've enjoyed, having variant covers set aside until they're ready to go on sale, etc. I'm always greeted by someone at either door when I walk in, and even though they know me by now they always ask if they can help me find anything. I don't know what people are expecting. Complimentary tiramisu? Overall this place is a great regular stop if you're a comic book, tabletop or action figure/memorabilia collector and I strongly disagree with reviews stating that the customer service is lukewarm. If you're comfortable in any other hobbyist shop you'll be comfortable here.

Frankly I find this store overly crowded and not terribly friendly. As a woman who happens to be…read moreinterested in comic books, general geeky things, and games, I find it to be exceedingly important that there be good sight lines in a store of this variety and I find it confusing and hard to navigate as a store location. It really could lead to some uncomfortable encounters with staff or patrons simply because of the layout of the store. In addition I was there with a tall person recently and the items hanging from the ceiling hit his head. This is not good in general. It's a very disorganized clutter-filled store. And feels unusually crowded even when not many people are in there. I would much rather patronize other similar stores in Edmonton that do not have quite such a cluttered/unsafe aesthetic. It also took us a LONG time to find a staff member to help us in searching for a comic we were seeking (it was unavailable). It's good that this part of town has comics/games/etc. options for shopping but I really wish that it were more of a friendly place to shop, especially for people who are new to particular hobbies.

Their new space feels cozy but it larger than I expected it to be. It is bright and colourful, particularly in the juvenile section. Their focus is on graphic novels, comics, and manga andy do a great job choosing featured books to fit their community. They also sell a collection of action figures, toys, and games with something for everyone. I most recently visited on Free Comic Book day (first saturday in May!) and they did a great job making it a fun, engaging experience with artist guests and activities. Rolling Tales is a great addition to the downtown community!

Audreys Books is so easy to find.... On Jasper Ave, just look for the maroon awning and inside you will be transported to a world of books.

I've been to Audreys for 2 local author book releases... I love the fact they support local authors. Encouraging them to host book signings and book releases at the store and encouraging patrons to purchase local books. I've also called the store asking about what to buy for a niece, unsure about her age group and they made a suggestion, put it at the front so all I needed to do was run in and make the purchase. They are amazing, friendly and accommodating.
