   First time here and I’ll definitely be coming back soon! The environment inside feels like I’m truly stepping back in time. I just recent got interested in collecting 80s comics, so this is the place to be! Wish I could give 10 stars!

   Been a customer at High Ground Comics (formerly Rah Coco's) since 2004. What you get is a great family run store with a great selection of new comics and back issues. Never miss a book by signing up for a subscription.

   My new go-to comic shop for all my nerdy needs. Upon entering you are always greeted by the owners, a wonderful couple who are extremely knowledgeable about characters, storylines, and crossover events.

   Back issues

   They moved! A cute small little store. Very niche things. They had vintage CDs, Records and posters. Seems like a good place to take someone who really likes Star Trek/cartoons and that type of thing. Nice guy working in there.

   Fantastic staff, great community, even better prices. It's a bit off the beaten path, but you certainly wont mind the trip. It's in this sweet little cottage-style homey-feeling building, and boy does it feel like you are part of the family the moment you walk in.

   Went in to get comics for my high school classroom and after speaking with the shop owner he gave me a whole BOX of comics and manga, as well as what I had already picked out - free of charge! My children and I were in awe of his generosity. Will recommend this business to everyone!

    Just went in here for the first time. I took my 4 boys there and they were very excited to go into their first “real” comic book store. We were greeted by the owner Wayne. Sorry if it’s not Wayne. But he was great! The kids are hooked and we will be going back. I even scored a box of old school rubber wwf wrestlers!
