This is THEE AWESOME STORE! It’s huge with so many comics, manga, zines, graphic novels and ART BOOKS! Lots of little rooms to explore with many treasures like action figures, vintage masks and models, patches. The people who run the shop are super groovy and friendly.

Amazing shop. Ive literally never walked out empty handed. Even if they dont have what Im looking for I always find something cool and weird that I didnt even know I wanted. Great selection of Fangoria and Mad Magazine going back decades that I never thought Id be able to buy off the rack anywhere. Great staff, great prices. Dont bother shopping online, just head here.

Comics shop with nice staff and a large selection. Lots of crates to dig through if thats your thing, and a collection of interesting old toys. An Athens staple.

This my hands down absolute favorite place in the whole world. If you haven’t been here before check this place out. The comic shop is up the stairs the record shop is right below it. Great staff and an amazing selection you can’t find anywhere else in the area.

Bad customer service. Prices are too high. Real cheap looking store. Very weird comic book shop. The owner Devlin thompson is a very strange man. I would not recommend this store. BUYER BEWARE it has alot of garbage comic books.

Great place with nice wacky vibe. The two guys who always work there are super nice and really helpful. It might come seem disorganized or hard to figure out the store layout at first, but it’s not as bad as it seems at first glance. Selection can be a little small, but they’ll happily order anything you want. Some nice off-the-wall stuff, too.

I made the mistake of visiting this place when I didnt have much time. Tons and tons of product from very organized back issues to a giant selection of comic magazines.

They charged me $2 over cover price for a normal Marvel issue just this week. They offered to refund the money so I wanted to note that on here. Make sure you pay attention at checkout so mistakes can be avoided.Bizzaro-Wuxtry even over charged for issues they have to order that can be found cheaper online including shipping.The back issues I looked through (mostly Spider-Man) are rarely organized and they do not honor price tags on the issues. The gentleman there said it is one of the most looked through and that is the reason.And last, they have a very limited selection of new comics. The three stars is because they will order issues for you and they are the only place in town. That combined with older and newer toys among other random items. It is a better old toy store than comic shop. They will also offer to correct mistakes.I’ll see how they do as time goes on and make changes from there.

My girlfriend and I both love comics. She is new to GA and has been searching for a cool comic book store for a while. I took her here this past weekend and she loved it! She has been wanting a certain BATMAN VS PREDATOR comic for a while and we found not just one, but a few!!! Seeing the excitement in her eyes was totally worth it. We love this place!

Fun place to get comics and random geek stuff. Watch what you buy though....I did have one item that clearly had been put together already, broken, then shoved in a box and resold; but that was one of about 6 items I bought, so maybe was a fluke? Definitely would go again.

So glad to see this place is still going strong. Its a quirky independent comic shop--with all that that entails. Expect eccentric organization, weirdly superior clerks, that weird baked musty smell of comics that have been sitting for decades, odd toys crammed into odd corners--in other words, all the good stuff you just cant get ordering your comics online.

Old fashioned comic store like I remember going to as a kid. Can get lost here for hours, beware! Selection is fantastic.

I like this store, but after a recent experience I wont go back. They essentially stole my money and refused to give me the comics I purchased.I used my debit card to get some comics and after an unusually long wait the machine produced a receipt that said VOID AMOUNT. The guy behind the counter wanted me to swipe my card again even though I showed him where the charge was on my account statement. His explanation was the building is 100 years old and the connection is weird, sorry. But I cant give you the merchandise until you pay. (even though I did pay). I called my bank and confirmed, but it wasnt good enough for him. He couldnt be bothered to call anyone on his side and check, so I was forced to leave empty handed and start a charge dispute with my bank that could take up to 90 days.It may not be their fault that the machine malfunctioned but they shouldnt treat customers that way.

A place where you may find many oddities and neat little trinkets that are sure to become a interesting and unique addition to any type of collection or display. Great selection of comics and costumes as well as books and novels and action figures from many memorable cartoons, movies and comic books. They also have buttons!!! :-)

Weird smell, weird vibe... it’s amazing. It will draw you in and before you’re aware, you’ve spent $200 on stuff you never knew existed. It’s over-priced(a lil) and the staff are you’re typical comic book store guys, but it’s exactly what I anticipated(maybe wanted) on my first visit.It didn’t, it won’t, and it will never disappoint a true fan. Absolutely worth a visit, and talk to the staff because they will be more than willing to teach/show some amazing comics.

This place reminds me of the comic book shop I went to in the 90s. Great smells, and just packed with great stuff in every corner. Definitely fun for those of us who are willing to dig around a little bit, and the staff knows a lot about their eclectic inventory.

This is a cool and ecclectic comic and memorabilia shop in downtown Athens.. the place is a glorious labyrinth of rooms stacked floor to ceiling with Comics, graphic novels, collectors items and miscellaneous delightful bits of nerdity. The staff us friendly, engaging and know their subject matter very well. You should DEFINATELY check this place out !!

Friendly staff, a huge selection, and most of the time they have whatever Im looking for, and when they dont have what Im after, theres always something new to surprise me. The place looks chaotic and disorganized....but its amazing. Spend time looking around - I can almost guarantee that youll discover something to fall in love with.

Pros: Store looks and location are amazing. Employees are knowledgeable and live comics.Cons: Employees (especially head manager / possible owner) are somewhat snobby and uninterested if you are not a big spender. I came in once a month every month for years to buy 3 comics a month. One month the head guy was behind on inventory and told me I had to come back bc it was in one of two boxes he had yet to open. I told him I was on my lunch break and wouldnt be passing by downtown again that day. tough luck was his response. Ive been going to the new comic shop on the eastside (which isnt perfect) and they have a much friendly customer interactive staff. This was by no means the only negative interaction @Bizaro-Wuxtry.
