What San Francisco shoppers say

Mission: Comics & Art

Good comics store there's even a place to sit in a comfy chair. It was really chill in there

★★★★★ Bamboo, Jan 2023

Isotope Comics

I'm in town, visiting from Vancouver (BC) for work, and just had to get to a comic shop. Isotope has great reviews, and oh man, they aren't kidding. Excellent selection, and a fantastic balance between superheroes and everything else, rather than the usual 2/3-1/3 or fewer stock.

★★★★★ Pam, Jan 2018

Cards and Comics Central

I can only speak on the MTG cards. They had a lot of really old packs. I'm talking reeeaaallll old. Singles, sleeves, boxes mats, biders etc. It's a place to buy, not a place to play. For sure a cool place though.
