Great shop jampacked floor to ceiling with geeky awesomeness, including the 2 over-the-top Edgar R. Burroughs mash-ups in the included pics! Counter staff was friendly and helpful and I picked up a Marvel Essentials X-Men volume I'd been on the lookout for.

I come in occasionally when I have the chance. It's always a pleasure doing business. I get my big haul of Dynamite Comics books, there's a whole section for Vampirella. There is sections dedicated for your favorite titles. The selection is stellar.

★★★★★ Edward, Oct 2023

This store is what a comic book store should be. It's very laid back, great stock on everything from comics to collectables, seems to have some sale going on every time I go there and Tim knows comics.
