Comix Revolution

Nice store, friendly staff. I would like a little better selection of not-quite-new and older comics. But the selection of new stuff is pretty good. As is common in the area, you do pay extra for board and bag.

What a local gem! We recently rode our bikes here to pick up a graphic novel. I called ahead and they had it available in two different formats. Also there is plenty to browse, which is part of the appeal of visiting a comic store, in my opinion. Plenty of stock and variety. I took advantage of the buy one get one free bins. Also I loved looking at the figurines and art prints. Furthermore, they have a kids section which I thought was pretty cute!

What I find to be truly impressive about this particular location is in its thoroughness and cleanliness. Most comic stores share a similar sense of controlled chaos, with crowded shelves of well-thumbed comics and bins of aged single-issues trying the maximize space, but squashing displays together in a tight space so you cannot remember where that favorite issue of Daredevil was. While there are these elements here there is also a care for order I do not normally see at any comic store. An intent to maintain the beautiful nature of the merchandise and present it in such a manner to inspire awe and reverence, space to breath.

There is not much to say about the building itself, it is a strip mall like many, but with space enough to allow for presentation. I am an avid collector and understand the overhead required for any store front, but I truly appreciated the care that went into the display of omnibuses and collectibles. Not to mention they are are professional in understanding the value of their products. I found a beautiful hardcover copy of "Age of Apocalypse" that would rival ANYTHING online in price or quality.

With great, accessible parking, and convenient hours (even on weekends) I can definitely recommend this location for any serious comic collector. Where I might draw a small umbrage is that this is a location where you should expect to browse in silence. I noticed there was not a warmth of commentary that you might expect for people sharing a passion for comics. Rather the air is of nearly religious silence. I personally like to chat about just how strong Hulk is, or wax philosophical about the Punisher, but if you are seeking deep conversation this might not be the location for you. Despite a half dozen visits I found the atmosphere here to be more a museum than a spot for passionate comic conversation.
