My bestie is a comic geek & we've been friends for over 30 years, so let's just say I've been…read moredragged to a lotttt of comic shops for many years. Don't live in Tampa, and this place I've never been to. And when we pulled up, lemme just say, I would NOT have entered solo. They ain't got no curb appeal, but a couple signs indicated, that yeah, they sell comics and stuff. lol Now when we entered... I held my breath. Amazing rows and isles of comics, comics, comics! It was clean, moody but not dusty, not too dark to read, enough room to walk thru, browse, and lose your wandering friend who's looking for their own stuff. I thought, oh well I guess I wont get action/comic figures in this spot, and nope, they had figures for sale too, plus t-shirts. I nodded as I walked through, impressed by it all. Staff seemed cool, talked to the regulars but there to help, or else let you browse without annoying you. When I got closer to the counter I saw at least 5 buckets of stickers! I sorted through those stickers for about 10 minutes. So I bought $39 worth of $1 stickers.... but enough about me... Go to this spot and get all you want or kinda need, and don't let the exterior fool you, they seem guaranteed to have all the stuff you're gonna want inside.

The Owner of the store ignored us when we entered and when we asked about where to find the book we…read morecame for he was not helpful. The organization of the store is horrible too with some comics being inaccessible due to shelf stacking. Also the owner made weird comments to his friend that made us uncomfortable enough to just leave without getting anything. Overall Id rather drive 35 minutes to a better store than this one.

Met the owner Glen today. Super cool guy. Very knowledgeable and prices were great. Highly recommendread more

Big store with tons of selections…read more I was nervous from pictures that this would be all comic books. I was a little relieved when we pulled up and there was a sign that included toys. We were here on a very specific mission, one son was looking for ghostbusters toys and the other was looking for pokemon cards. One of the employees told us that they get the most calls from people looking for pokemon cards. So I don't bury the lead, they don't have just packs of pokemon cards, but they do have a set that includes multiple packs for $60. We ended up getting that for my older son and I've been giving him a pack every couple of days. I was little nervous about our mission to find ghostbuster stuff. There were tons of star wars stuff and a lot of funko figurines. We did find ghostbuster funko figures, but that wasn't really what we were looking for. Eventually after walking around a bit, we did find three small ghostbuster items. I think they're meant to be kept on a desk, but my son has been playing with them like they're toys. I haven't seen ghostbusters so I'm not going to describe this well, but they are items to track and then trap ghosts. He was ecstatic that we found them, so mission accomplished. If you're looking for comic books then this is heaven. If you're looking for specific toys, it may be hit or miss, but for us it was a hit. This is definitely a place worth checking out.

Hadn't been to an honest to God little collectors store like this in a long time. Reminded me of my childhood growing up in the 80s--early 90s. Had a great time talking with the gentleman there who had a good knowledge of the products and particularly his passion for vintage transformers. Got several cool items at a good price.. Some I didn't even know existed. He showed me around and we talked a lot. Customers came and bought and went while I was still there. Loved the vehicle outside converted to look like transformers ambulance. Highly recommend collectors stop by.

Green Shift Comics - Tampa's Hidden Gem for Comics & Guitars!…read more If you're a comic fan--or just want to check out some cool guitars--Green Shift Comics is a must-visit. This shop is a goldmine of comics. Whether you're hunting for the latest releases or a hard-to-find classic, Green Shift has it all.
