From Google reviews

I've been visiting Big Planet on and off for 30 years. They always have great recommendations. They always have the latest issues. They remember your face. They say "Hi" to your kids. They always show passion for the art and stories that they sell. It's unreasonable to expect anything more from a comic shop.

★★★★★ Max, Jan 2018

The gentleman working was super nice and they do a military discount. It had very limited back issues but tons of trade paperbacks. They also charge to bag and board any comics you buy. Check it out if you are in the area.

★★★★☆ Robert, May 2025

One of the DMV’s oldest and best comic book shops. They carry a wide range of material from mainstream to alternative and underground, new weekly books to classic reprints. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ John, Aug 2025

This place is always so nice! It's a small storefront that ONLY does comics, I'm always surprised they do enough business to stick around. The selection of comics is out of this world, and they even had some manga.
