This shop is LOADED with back issues, trade paperbacks, and all manner of collectibles. I have only been there once. When I walked in, a guy who must have been a regular was having a lively conversation with the owner about comic artists. When I stood nearby to ask for help, the owner immediately paused the chat to show me where I needed to look. The regular was equally friendly and waited while I got sorted out. It felt like a place that respects it's regular customers, but is eager to help newbies like me as well. I highly recommend a visit when you have a chance.

Nice shop that has everything you could want from a comic store. They don't usually bag and board for free, so that sucks a little. Nice people, that's for sure.

This is such a great place to shop for comics - the staff are friendly and helpful - they all love comics and aren't snobbish. The selection is excellent and the store is well laid out and easy to move around in - something I find is not true for most comic shops. They always have free comics for kids, and a great selection of figureines and models too.

The store itself is amazing, and the selection and quality of the comics and merchandise is great! Wish I could've gotten a little more help when trying to find a certain comic though.. I was just pointed in a direction and told to look around that area.

I have been coming here for years. The selection and location is great. There are many comic/graphic novel stores in the city, but I keep coming back here because the owner is awesome. He answers all my questions, looks obscure things up for me, and generally is great to talk to. Recently, construction on Centre Street has really messed over the parking lot for this store, but it is still worth the visit!

Went in just to look around as we recently moved to this side of the city and the man working offered my daughter a comic book.. Brought out a stack to let her choose from and didn't even pressure her to choose quickly or anything. Such a great first experience! My daughter is loving her comic thank you again!!

This is the third time I've gone at 11:00, and arrived a couple minutes past and they still weren't open.The selection is great but it'd be super convenient to have a more rigid opening schedule.So instead we went to another dimension because they were open and continue to open within the minute of their schedule.

These guys know their comics and have one of the best back issue selections in the city; albeit a little confusing with boxes on the floor (bring your back brace and knee pads).

Nice bright open comic shop, I feel very comfortable bringing and recommending this comic shop to women and children. I've never felt uncomfortable like I do with other comic shops in town. They have a great selection of comics for all ages and interests, they also have a small but well stocked board game section.
