What Durham shoppers say

Atomic Empire

Never knew this place existed and now that I do, all I can do is think of going back. I think this is a perfect model for the current day comic games and collectible shops I have been to many and few have reached let alone achieved the standard set by shops like Atomic Empire.

★★★★★ Joshua, Mar 2026

Ultimate Comics Durham/Chapel Hill

Wonderful store, very clean and organized with friendly staff. Placed an order for all of the cover options for my favorite comic artist. Now I'm set up to have a copy of each cover for all the new issues as they come out!
