TL;DR at end.My best friend was in the hospital and I wanted to buy some lighthearted books to relieve his boredom over the next week.The books also needed to be fairly short, since I would be holding the book up for him to see.I’m not into comics, but I did know his favorite characters. I’d seen enough movies with him to know Batman was unlikely to have any plot lines that were hopeful or uplifting.Someone recommended I stop by Ultimate Comics.Honestly, when I came in I just wanted to check something important off my list on the way to the hospital.I was exhausted, stressed, hungry and didn’t have a clue how I was going to choose what to buy.The red-haired employee who approached offering her assistance was absolutely stellar. I wish I had asked her name, as she deserves kudos.I took a few minutes to explain my friend’s situation of long, boring days. I let her know how his limited neck movement would affect the weight/size of my choices.She was very patient and kindly asked a few relevant questions about my buddy’s likes/dislikes.I was amazed at how well she knows her stock! I wonder if she is psychic and absorbs their stories whilst unboxing new arrivals.I followed her as she walked with purpose. With each of her recommendations, she shared why she thought that particular volume would be good with a quick summary of the plot and mood.After I’d selected three volumes based on her guidance, the young lady let me know they had a buy 3 get 1 free policy (sale?) , so I walked out with a $13 comic gratis.Yes, I did end up spending (quite a bit) more than I anticipated.Yet I was quite happy to do so.I consider the extra as payment for her exemplary customer service, her mystical depth of knowledge and the confidence of feeling I had chosen just right.It would have been foolish to save $20, but be unsure if I had bought items he would actually like.One does not need to be a comic book fan to shop here.One just needs to be shopping for someone who IS a fan - and this young lady will steer you right.This is 100% the most satisfactory experience I’ve had at a shop in years.This young lady showed enthusiasm; she sincerely shared my desire to help make my friend’s hospital stay less miserable.My interaction with her greatly relieved some of the stress I was feeling when I walked in.TL;DRI recommend this place without hesitation, based on the young lady who assisted me.You don’t have to be a reader of comics to shop here.If you need a knowledgeable guide to pick a fitting gift for the comic lover in your life, the red-haired young employee will make it an easy experience.Her intelligence and Brobdingnagian knowledge of her merchandise will have you in and out quickly, confident in your choice of gifts.

Ultimate Comics absolutely lived up to its name! The staff were super knowledgeable and friendly, helping me find some new books I had not even heard about yet that absolutely caught me interest based on a brief conversation! They had an impressive selection of BackIssues, and plenty of new issues as well. Their collectibles selection was hit or miss, but everything they DID have was priced fairly.You aren't likely to find any buried treasure here, but if you're after some recent or semi-recent comics, or some of the latest Funko Pops on the market, Ultimate Comics is a worthwhile stop!

Stopped by for Batman Day with some friends. I'm not a comics person and was a little confused. Everyone was SUPER friendly and helpful. I especially want to shoutout Grace who not only had an insane Poison Ivy cosplay but also helped me find a variant cover I was looking for for someone else AND told me about a con the artist was going to do I could get the comic signed. Will DEFINITELY be back!!!!

I went in there on a spur of the moment after a rough week and a particularly hard day. It has been 10 years since I've done any reading of comics. When I walked in I was up front that I wasn't looking to buy anything I just needed to not feel my age for a moment. They were completely understanding, they were friendly. They worked hard to just cheer me up with nothing in mind other than lifting up another human being. The people in there have no idea what they did for me that day. We talked about things that I enjoyed for my childhood and other relatable things that I have not thought of a year. They mentioned that Saturday the 16th of September was Batman day and that I should bring my son. Fast forward a few days later I break my son have an absolutely wonderful time. I met "Batman" and the gang. My son even got to pose with him. We got some comics and I started reading about Supergirl again. I don't know if I will be going back into comics full-time but I definitely know that when I get comics, this will be the place. If you're on the fence about wanting to get back into comics or just need a break from reality for a moment. This is the place. Thank you guys

Ultimate Comics is my go to place in the area and their get one trade free for every three you buy is a killer deal. So much so if I am leaving there with less than 8 trades something has gone wrong (it was 17 on my latest visit).The staff is friendly and their posted recommendations are great.My only minor issue is that they have Judge Dredd on the door, but when I have asked (both in person and over email) if they can get 2000AD for me I haven't been able to get a definitive answer (and they look a bit confused about what 2000AD even is). I understand it's a tricky one to get in the USA though! Their knowledge and availability of stuff in general is good for other things though and as I already said they have great recommendations.They are awesome.

Ultimate Comics is legit! My kids and I love the store. Great selection, even better service and the signings are always fun for them. Reminds me of the store my dad took me to when I was younger. I love going with them.

When I think about comics my first thought tends to be “Is Grace working today?”At ultimate comics off Buck Jones rd near the Thai place is a great comic store. It’s just the right size and always has great stuff in stock.That’s not why I go there though. I go because Grace is working. Have you ever found yourself asking what’s new or different out there? Maybe you just want something like Harley Quinn, or Batman? Maybe your Significant Person or kid is interested in comics? Well Grace can help. She’ll give you several choices, then alternatives to those choices, then about 5 more recommendations, plus a chat about other cool authors or art styles.Hearing her talk about them with such enthusiasm you can’t help but be wrapped up in the wonder. She’s helped me find things I would never have read on my own. Titles such as Luna, Love everlasting, poison ivy, Human Target, etc. Authors too like Tom King. Due to Graces recommendation I’m always on the lookout for anything written by Mr King and I would of missed that without her help.If you have never gotten a comic or your kids expressed interest she’s worth a chat. There a whole lot more out there than spider man.My wife will sometimes say, “you haven’t got comics in awhile is Grace working today?” Yes I read comics and have a wife who’s fine with it, dare to dream people!

Ten stars! This place rocks. All the new hotness comes in. They'll make a pull box for you at the drop of a hat. They've started carrying manga! So many toys, back issues and TPBs! It's the only place I go for comics. Y'all make my little heart sing. <3<3<3

The owner left a rude message on my last review. I just wanted to trade in some comics and didn't get a good price. The book trading business is just scummy tbh, but the owner could've contacted me about my review. Not tried to call me out on Google reviews.Look if you want some good comics or merch, check the place out, but I think I'm going to be searching for comics someplace else.
