Today we went to Free comic book day and we go every year. The staff is very friendly and theres always great artist there to do some cool artwork for those that like. Theres great deals on all the comics and graphic novels during this time. The store is not too big and these times get kind of crowded but its a good crowded,one where we all have the same love and reason were there. Last year I met Deadpool,so cool and Ill continue to come back every year, especially since my 2yr old is getting older and will appreciate more as time goes by. Ill see you there.

As comic book shops go this one is incredible. They have an awesome selection of comics including multiple variants. They also have a large selection of graphic novels. They also have a fantastic subscription service. Check out their website for more info on it. Ill confess Im gonna join their subscription service. It is much more then the basic pull service. It also stocks all the necessary accessories for safe storage and/or display. I love this shop.

Horrible customer service & so disorganized in the shipping methods that they cover the back issue bins (which are minimal) with comic books not even up for sale yet, so you can’t even go through the back issues. Worst comic book store experience ever!I politely asked if they could move some of the new books so I can see their back issues and was rudely told “you can’t go through them right now”.

Kind and helpful staff, large incentives for repeat shoppers and huge inventory with great variety means youll have a hard time not wanting to come back for your next fix in reading material. I have a hard time paying full price for an item but this spot did everything right for me to walk out happy with something, so I got Uzumaki by Junji Ito for $30 out the door. This place is a nerds paradise, dont skip it.

This is probably my favorite comic book shop by far! Ive getting my comics books from collectors paradise for quite some time now and Ill probably continue on getting them here. I really love the selection they have there, just wish I had a lot more money to buy a lot more stuff lol. Plus everyone there is so helpful, nice, and well informed on theyre knowledge of comic books, I have been given so many great suggestions on what to read and what is coming out that I have never disappointed. And they will be getting Dungeons and Dragons stuff! And Im super excited for that!

Its a comic shop!!! If you like comic shops this is THE place for you. This place has comics galore!! Unlike some shops, where they have a mix of comics and maybe other merchandise this one is primarily comics.The day we were there service was a little slow - but the counter clerk was new, so I cut him slack, because he was also super friendly and enthusiastic about working at a comic shop!

This store has a great selection of new books with multiple easy to access weekly issues. Theres a really wide selection of back trades that are well organized along with special sections for individual creators. I wish there was a larger back issue selection but unless Im looking for something fairly obscure or old, this place is more than suitable.

Staff is great. Like any LCS, youll have to make a pull list if you dont want your books selling out if/when theyre hot. The internet ordering system is a little basic, but perfect for what it does offer.Sister store to the bigger Winnetka home store, this place gets big names for signings as well which is huge for such a small store.Parking is a nightmare like most spots in Pasadena.

Went there on Febraury 15th of 2019 in the morning, because a friend gave me a high recomendation from it, however the clerk a black hair with glasses fella almost felt offended when i asked for back issues and if they had a a discount when bought by the lot. He stated that the industry is almost dying and that those type of comics are no longer avilable anywhere, sInce i was coldly denied, i started checking the graphic novels section that had discount. Another customer aproached him and i noticed that he was superwarm and concerned to help this fellow. So I dont know if they judg people by how they seem or not; but definetly not willing to ....at the very least listen and analize if it would ve ben a good deal for them or not. Instead he choose to be right and lost a great deal where we both could ve walked away happy. Good thing Golden Apple was near and they really value listening to people.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff make this place feel like family. They always greet me by name, pull stuff aside they think I would like, and engage my young daughter in conversations and have done so much more for my family after my daughter had a horrific accident last summer. Large selection plus original comic art and frequent signings by artists and writers, as well as events every weekend in May for Free Comic Book May. A must visit for Pasadena comic fans or even if you are visiting from out of town.

Review №48

All the reviews surrounding mine have been incredibly glowing and indeed the interior is nice and clean which is the only reason Ive given two stars over one. HOWEVER I also notice theyre all from local customers and if youre an out-of-Pasadena-visitor, like myself or my cousin, the situation is quite different.I came into the store on a Saturday afternoon, April 14th 2018, and stood at the front counter hoping for assistance both to secure a bag to carry some recently purchased drinks AND to see if they held any titles of interest as the stores prices were recommend to me by others at the Monsterpalooza convention which was happening several blocks away at the time.But instead I didnt received a bit of help from the one employee working that day who openly and obviously went out of his way to ignore me and cowardly turn away whenever he made direct eye contact with me even as I waved for his help, instead running back towards the other customers who the employee began superfluous chats with as opposed to answering business related questions.I am NOT an easy person to miss, standing just above six-feet in height, and at one point even the customers noted to this lone employee to stop the chit chatting and see if the large fellow at the counter needed help only for said employee to say out-loud that guys not important.It was by this insulting point that I had waited for 10 minutes for assistance and angrily took a bag which I had wanted to do with permission first before storming out. Several days later I had a phone conversation with my cousin who also does the convention circuit and has also visited that same store and noted similar attitudes from workers but she didnt remember if it was the same male prick or not.If you go in there and get the same treatment please make your presence known and accost that same a**-hole directly so he has no choice but to serve you. Tell that f**kwad The Unimportant Guy sent you.
