Why in the hell do I need to wear a mask to be in a comic book store!? Or you kidding me! Won’t be giving them my money. And I see the owner trying to justify this! Speaks even louder 🤦🏻‍♂️.

Well laid out lots of items to look at staff not very helpful or knowledgeable

Love the nostalgia, I love taking my family to browse, part of my childhood was going to the small shops and buying these stories I love now...seeing them come to life in this day and age.

My son and i had a great time lookin round!! And the book I bought my granddaughter loved!! Will definitely be back!!

Nice comic book store. Didnt have a lot of variety outside of comics, but thats fine for a small store like this one. Good amount of collectors comics.

Love this place! The people are grade A+. Great selections on Manga, Comics, and action figures.

Like the selection and layout, but they are corporate and still require you to wear a mask…and aren’t the kindest about it. They have the right to require it, but if you don’t have one being that it’s after the 15th of June, they coldly turn you away and only offer to sell you one for $10. Just got the vibe like they didn’t care about my business at all.

Forced to wear a mask even though I’m vaccinated. I wanted to get my brother a gift but because we came in together they denied me the item I wanted. Worst place of business I’ve been to by far, definitely will never come back. Such a horrible place

UPDATED REVIEW: Your response to my original review warrants recognition as well as mutual respect. I appreciate that there was no trace of aggression or defensiveness in your response, just clarity and validation. Really, that’s all I was aiming for, so thank you. It’s pretty indicative of how involved you guys are in the success of your store if you’re willing to address customer complaints as well as the praises; what’s even more telling is the fact that even if you have given up on being the mask police at this point, you haven’t let your frustrations in that regard allow you to give up on your ability to receive constructive feedback from your customers. I believe that harnesses integrity and only serves to promote growth. That’s a demonstration of “owning up to” a misstep and taking the time to correct it. To me, THAT’S what is important for my son to grow up seeing. So we will be coming into your store this week.. with our masks on- I promise- just as excited as before. Thank you for making me feel heard.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I have the same complaint that it seems a lot of people have and it’s with the female employee behind the counter. There was a confusing sign on their door about the mask mandate, citing June 15th as the mandated time stamp (I admit I thought what the sign was saying is that the mandate was lifted, as I understood from other local news reports, my misunderstanding I’m sure) regardless, my six year old son was excited to go inside so I struggled to read the sign correctly and wrangle him simultaneously. I saw that everyone in the store had masks so I was about to leave to go get mine out of the car but the woman behind the counter quickly called me out. Understandable, of course I can’t imagine it’s enjoyable to have to remind people of the constantly changing mask laws. I had no issue going back and getting my mask, i even verbalized this letting the employees know that I had no intention of arguing that fact with them. I just wanted to inform them that I got confused by their sign which should probably just say that masks are required to enter. Again, I have no problem following rules, it’s why I still carry masks eventhough I am fully vaccinated. I have no intention of making anyone’s workday more difficult. But the woman wouldn’t even let me get a word in edgewise. I wasn’t trying to argue or prove a point, but just being able to finish a sentence without being talked down to/talked over would have been enough to make me come back in after a quick trip out to my car. I didn’t even know they offered $10 masks as another customer mentioned in their review, that’s how dismissive she was of me. It’s not hard to put myself in the employees shoes and follow directions, but maybe the woman behind the counter can put herself in my shoes as well and realize that, regardless of how intelligent she is, her sign WAS confusing and that me walking in without a mask wasn’t an attempt to be difficult, it was strictly an adjustment I wasn’t aware of needing to make on my part. A simple fix for me, but damn she was just so unpleasant that I got my kid in the car and left.

Went there for pops and all were way over priced and two workers and non asked or offered to help me. Great pops if you want to see few rare ones but ridiculous prices

Despite being a tad of a drive for me, this has become my go to comic shop for all my various comic needs. A wide variety of product that satisfies all of my nerdy needs. Over the last month or so i have been dropping by almost weekly to keep up to date with mainly xmen, however i almost never walk out with atleast one item i wasnt planning on picking up because they just do such a good job of displaying interesting content. From indie darlings, to the horrifyingly chilling work of Junji Ito. Friendly staff that have never missed a beat when it comes to helping out.

Great clean store with tons of selection. They actually have back issues! So many stores dont anymore, but they do, and new stuff constantly shows up!

I was shopping for a bday gift - Xmen Legend figurines and comics. They had a variety of action figures, some nostalgic ones too! Tons of comics although that is not my expertise.Helpful staff members, variety of figurines and comics, easy to find, good parking. No gift receipts though. It was slightly embarrassing having to give my original receipt to my friend in case her son wanted to do an exchange.

Great comic book store. Very organized and clean. Lots of variety to modern and vintage comics. Selection of board games are available as well trading cards like pokemon.

Great service great place decent back issue catalog.

With Kat in charge, this place is finally top notch. She helped find everything we were looking for! Best store in the area. Bar none.

I was trying to buy a book and put it on layaway. When all of a sudden they have to call the manager and they tell me we cant sell you the book because its from the owners personal collection. Then why put it out and price the book? It was very shady! At least be straight up. It was an actually decent priced book and they pulled im sure next time i go it will be overpriced!

Incredible shop with amazing, brilliant staff!

Above all else, not only do they have anything you might be looking for, but the organization is incredible! Looking for DC, it has its specific section. Looking for Batfamily particularly, also its subsection. Its AWESOME!!!!!!

Amazing staff at Graham Cracker Comics, very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They go above and beyond in my opinion. If youre looking for something new to read, but dont know what would suit your interests? Theyve got you covered, theyll be able to recommend something. Its almost uncanny how well theyve been able to pinpoint something Id love with a few mentioned topics I like.The store has an array of stuff from comics, Pokémon and MTG cards and accessories (along with a few other TCGs), manga, Dungeons & Dragons books and accessories, figures, and an awesome amount of collectables and merch.Stop by and give the place a look around, Im sure there will be something youll love. Even if you cant find the one thing youre looking for, Im sure the staff can help point you to where you can find it.

Great comic book shop already bought two collectibles from them that I really love hot toys falcon and hot toys black panther, everyone was very Nice And knowledgeable thank you guys for the great experience you will be seeing me again.

My family and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!!! I have 3 kids who love all things Marvel, Pokemon, and Anime. The staff and store manager are always available to answer my kids MANY questions... To help my kids reach Funko pops... Or help find whichever manga my teen is into now a days. I wish I could give more than just 5 stars.

Anyone wanting to get into comics NEEDS to go here. All of the staff is super helpful and the store has a lot of varied options. I would regularly spend 30-45 minutes there because it’s so fun to look around and talk to the staff. The staff is especially helpful in helping you find what YOU want to read based on what you like.

Terrible experience from this store. Horrible customer service. The lady behind the computer was very cold and had zero desire to help us. We came in to buy Pokémon cards but the woman said since we walked in as a group we could only purchase one thing? We drove in separate cars and met my family there, yet we could only purchase one thing? Doesn’t make sense that they would loose out on a sale. She was terribly rude. We are visiting from out of town and were so excited to see a store have Pokémon cards. Very disappointing leaving my 6year old in tears. Maybe some training in customer service would be nice! I wish I could give this place less stars.Edit/reply to owner.Thank you for replying. Maybe you guys should put a sign up or something to let your customers know. We even called before hand and she didn’t mention anything about your policy. Unfortunately we didn’t even leave with any cards. The lady behind the counter was just a turn off and she could use some customer service training. I totally understand the demand for Pokémon cards and your policy, but maybe a heads up would have been nice. I wished it worked out as well. Thank you

Nice store. They dont get 5 stars because some of the staff is not very welcoming and they raise their prices for new comics over cover price which is ridiculous which is why I gave the store 3 stars

The place was easy to find. They had a pretty small selection of My Little Pony comics ( only 3 that I found). I was hoping to see more but they had a lot of other great comics and figurines though.

Love the kids crafts programs cant wait till covid is over so we can go back.

It was good and welcoming. Im just a magic player though. Not a ton of magic you can get.

Nice shop friendly people. Good selection of comics back issues and current.

Great selection of comics, very easy going atmosphere, very helpful employees!

Loved the environment, definitely going to come back for more comics and light novels.

One of the coolest shops Ive been to. The staff is very knowledgeable. Wish they brought back their Smash Bros tournaments!

By far the best local shop. I hated coming here under the previous owner. Since Graham Crackers took over Im here all the time.

Place was Great Got 6 Funko Pop Harley Quinn that I was looking for and a One I never saw before will be back

Awesome selection of action figures. Awesome in-store music. Awesome store

Great shop, tons of statues with good prices, and they have a military discount when you show your military ID.

Great selection of new and old comics. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff

Ever since I found this place I’m there every Wednesday.The layout of the store is very nice and the place is very well kept/tidy. JC & Kat are very professional and just flat out awesome people, which makes the experience even better because a handful of times they’ve introduced me to new series and books I probably would have overlooked had it not been for their suggestions. I love this place, love supporting local businesses and consider it as my “home-base” for new comics. 5 stars!

I was just there with my 2 daughters, niece and 4 year old nephew and they were so helpful there. The young man had so much patience helping us out. He went above and beyond to help a little girl and little boy new to comics find the right comic for them. Super pleased and will definitely return.

Great comic book spot with knowledgeable staff! They also carry MTG product here so thats always a plus.Theyre super organized and Ive never had a problem finding the issues that I need. They seem to get large allotments of variant covers so theres always some available when Im in store to pick up. Just be careful while youre choosing, since single issues arent placed in bags and boards on the shelf, some of them get a tiny tiny bit crumpled.

Graham Cracker Comics has great prices and deals on back issues and Key issues and great customer service 👍

Clean and quite ! You can find almost anything you are looking for...

Great selection and displays!

Everyone who works is is delightful. JC and Kat are always so helpful and nice. Great selection too.

Outrageous prices, they made the prices go through the roof a regular box should be 20$ but instead they charged me 40🤷‍♀️wouldn’t recommend

Best shop Ive been to. Hands down. Been an avid reader of comics for a few years now, and I love my weekly trips to Ryans.The organization (both layout and product arrangment) and cleanliness cannot be matched. The wide range of collectibles, books and games are the widest Ive seen in all my comics shop travels. Pricing is pretty spot on.Be it Marvel or DC, theyll likely have all the newest stuff. Secondly, Ive never been to a shop that supports independents so well. Great selection there.My one knock: they have such a large set of regular readers that nabbing a new hot book can sometimes be difficult. However, they offer a subscription service to avoid that disappointment.DO RECOMMEND.

This place is great and has a ton of comics! I used to come here when it was Ryans and it was a Kool shop but now i noticed that Graham Cracker Comics actually carries more than Ryan did. They do have a small selection of trading cards but this is a COMIC book shop so if youre looking for trading cards you who should go somewhere that specializes in that...

This was a great visit! Im more into board games than comics but I still stopped by and was very pleasantly surprised with this store. Their game selection was a bit light, but I dont fault them for that since they are more of a comic store. The thing that was awesome was their Price Matching option on the board games. I wont offer details since they have a right to change it later, but ask the staff when you get there. I made a purchase on the spot based on that program.

Worst experience I’ve had in a long time.

Really glad it’s under new ownership. Much better now

They are always welcoming and helpful ☺️.

Great for the latest comics and toys.

Nothing like the old store when Ryan used to own it, mainly focuses on comics and not trading card games. Sad to see my local game store be replaced with nothing but comics.Edit*Store owners seem its a good idea to be passive aggressive in a reply that can be seen from anyone that searches up the reviews. Maybe shouldnt do that.

Well stocked with a variety of comics and collectibles

It’s A Decent Comic Book Store That Contains Some Figures, And Most Of All Nice Comic Books 👍

Its a awesome shop plan to go soon.great prices to.

Great selection of comics, pops, and other memorabilia. Staff was very attentive and knowledgeable also.

Nice place!

Nice shop, good selection of new DC, Marvel, & Independent books! Backissues, dollar books (and 50 cent books!), Statues, games, etc. Friendly professional staff, a very clean modern comic shop. Plus they do gaming too!

I don’t know what any of these one stars are talking about, Ryan’s comics atmosphere is great. The employees are nice, very helpful and can answer any questions you may have about nerd culture. Ryan’s Comics is handicapped accessible which is great for my son who enjoys playing yugioh with his friends.

My hubby ❤ this place.

The jury is out for me in the customer service. You would think I would be the ideal customer, semi retired life long comic book nerd with lots if disposable cash. Had a bad experience today just know there are other places yours is just the closest.

I just found out that theres new ownership at the old Ryans comic book shop. I used to buy comic books for my kids there every weekend. I spoke to Ryan before but I didnt know he was a hothead. So I never saw the bad side of him. Until one night my kids & I walked in his comic book shop & our old buddy Ryan was being a really rude, unfriendly a-hole to me in front of my kids. I just asked him a question about a comic book & you would think I insulted his mother. I thought that was a horrible way to run a business so I took my business elsewhere & havent been back to Ryans in 3 years. Anyway, Im glad to hear hes gone & he wont be missed!

Bruh, they are a bunch of scalpers

Since they purchased this store this place has gone downhill fast and I tried giving them a chance but things like charging your customers for plastic backings for new comics purchased (I have never seen a comic book store do that...comes off as tacky, but then when I come after pricing PVC statues and all of a sudden they raised the prices and state its always been that price... the gentlemen lied right to my face...dishonesty was my breaking point. I try to keep my business with small businesses like this but enough is enough..bought the statue for the right price online with free shipping. The old owner would never let this stuff slide.

Theyve expanded their toys/Collectibles section and always have the best selection of comics in the area.

Ryan’ s comics is a beautiful store and well kept, with a great selection. Ryan the owner really appreciates his customers and shows it. I recommend this comic shop, 5 out of 5 stars.

Ive always had great service from the staff. Ryan is pretty down to earth and cool to chat with. They have an amazing selection of comics, toys and games.

The store is very well organized and I can find things easily. I worked at a comic shop while I was in high school and I wish we had been this organized. The staff has always welcomed me upon entering and asked if they could help me find anything.

Definitely a vast improvement from the previous ownership. Now my new go-to shop for comics in the area.

Very cool store. I bought my nephew 3 comic books and a t shirt. Very nice inside. the salesperson was polite. I am not sure what else this store does but there are games and stuff inside.

Overall, the store isnt too bad, aside from a few employees who were quite rude. My main issue, which I understand seems a bit absurd is the fact that there is no more adhesive on the plastic covers for the comics. I just wished this one issue changed. Im not too sure why this has suddenly happened but it’s a bit frustrasting since I like putting my comics back into the cover once I have completed reading them. Please fix this.

Its a great, laid back and cool shop. The owner is very knowledgeable and a really cool and chill dude. Always enjoy stepping in and shopping around.

This place has everything! Always friendly and always asking if you need help. Great atmosphere and if they dont have what u r looking for they will try to order it for u. If bin going there for all most 6years almost every Wednesday.

Im 46, havent stepped into a comic book store since the one on my block in Jackson heights New York closed, that was about 25 years ago. I wanted to get some comics for my 9 year olds birthday. Hoping he might get into reading them and ultimately collecting. Ryan was awesome he spent about 30 minutes showing me around, explaining whats age appropriate, and most importantly his recommendations, he is extremely knowledgeable and has a great passion for this. Great experience, highly recommend checking this comic oasis out. I will definitly be coming back on a regular basis, hopefully with my kid.

Called in the morning to see if there would be someone on staff to buy some Magic singles. I was told 1:30pm thered be someone. Drove all the way from Riverside, just to be told the owner would be in tomorrow, and hes the only one whos able to offer cash. Yeah, Im not driving back out from Riverside on the word of another one of your employees. I wanted to avoid driving to Frank & Sons, but thats happening now.

Really awesome store!. Great collection of comics and well organized. Friendly service. And easy to find from street.

EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL! DONT SELL YOUR STUFF TO THEM. DISHONEST!Me and my husband went in to the shop because I talked to the owner Ryan on the phone who told me they buy Pokémon cards. I made sure to come when he was there as I had been told by someone who worked there earlier in the day that they dont buy collections or anything worth more than $20. Ryan told me this employee was new and didnt know what he was talking about let alone what he was looking at and that him and his manager are the only ones who do that stuff. So I took my cards in. He looked at my binder and said he would have them all graded for 5% of what the cards are worth and if I had him grade them he would buy them from me unless they were severely damaged which none of my cards were. Seemed like a good enough deal he told me Id only get like 30-40%of the value doing it this way vs. consignment and he asked me how much money I was looking to get, I told him. Then he told me to they would probably be done and I could pick up whatever they would buy them for at the beginning of next week, I called the following Tuesday asking what was going on with them and when they expected they might be done. And the manager seemed to have been told something completely different by the owner who told her to grade only two pages of cards but proceeded to tell her that they werent buying any cards right now. This completely contradicted what was told to me and my husband when we went in just a few days earlier. The manager argued with me on the phone telling me I must have misunderstood the conversation between the owner and myself. And told me she was shaking because she was so upset after she was yelling and talking over me about how shes the one who works everyday not him and that he only work half of one day a week and she doesnt know why he told me that. I got upset with the fact that I was clearly lied to just so they could get my cards in their shop to make money off grading them and was I trying to figure out why a business owner would flat out lie to his customers and employees about a situation like this and I dont know how someone who wasnt a part of a conversation or around for the conversation could possibly know enough about what happened to tell me I misunderstood. Ryan was fully aware I only wanted them to be graded if he was going to buy them, as I told him Id be taking them to franks if he didnt want them. He said he didnt want me to get ripped off by anyone there so it was probably best to go through him. I received no phone call in regards to him changing his plans to buy my cards or that he only planned to grade two pages out of the 27 front and back I brought in. Nor did his staff seem aware that he had made the agreement with me that he had. Im am shocked at the Jekyll and Hyde transformation of the owner from being such a seemly nice and honest person upon bringing our stuff in, to talking to him on the phone after having a shouting match with his manager over the fact he lied to both of us. I told him it was bad business and asked why he would do that he denied saying it at first and then just said He didnt know why he said it but Didnt seem to care. It was such a difference in personality I almost wonder if it was him I was talking to, since his manager told me he wasnt there not 3 minutes earlier and wouldnt be in til Friday afternoon. So Im not sure how he answered the shop phone when I called to say I was picking up my cards after this mess, unless they forwarded the call to his cell, or had the male who was in the shop when my husband picked them up, answer and just pretended to be him over the phone. Either way He wasted his managers time having her grade my cards when he knew I didnt want them graded unless he bought them and he wasted my time by lying about the whole arrangement causing upset stress and issues that didnt need to happen for his staff and myself.

Staff was rude When I asked about magic card singles. They said it was a comic book store yet they hold Friday night magic. Even still customer service is key. Would not go to that store there is a good comic book store near gamestop out side of the mall with outstanding customer service. Only good thing is organized the comics are.

Horrible customer service from Ryan. Made me feel like an idiot for asking a question. I called So Cal comics and asked the same exact question and they understood exactly what I was asking and helped me right away. I will never step foot at this store again.

They are always helpful & welcoming.Update8/2019 they WERE when it was Ryan’s comics. Now it’s a cold bitter shop

The owner is unprofessional along with most of the staff. The selection of comics is fine, cards are even lackluster. The is no sense of community and tension of elitism fills the air of this establishment. Don’t waste your time.

Come here for my kids. The staff is always friendly and patient with them (ages 12 and 9). Goes out of their way to explain stuff to them and invite them to come learn to play Pokemon or Yu Gi Oh card games and join tournaments.

The staff was really nice. I was selling them a manga series I didn’t read anymore and they even suggested another series I might like.

Best store in riverside county. Very clean and well organized with a super friendly and helpful staff. Carries many lesser known comics and

Store has nothing really to offer save yourself time and just go to SoCal Comics way better selection and variety especially since they dont only just have comics there.

To be upfront I know nothing about comic books or playing games like Yugi Oh (spelling?). But what I do know is good customer service. The other day I took my 11 year old son there to look for some Yugi Oh cards. After he spoke with Ryan he decided not to buy any cards, on Ryans advice. Yes Ryan talked him out of spending his money. Ryan said he should really learn the game before spending more money on more cards. He told My son to come back on tournament day, when went back Ryan set him with a seasoned player who sat with my son and really showed him how to play for over an hour. My son had a great time and Ryan made it happen. Excellent customer service by any measure!

Do not recommend if youre a serious comic buyer. So every Wednesday I go in and ask for my pull list which they do not have ready, I have to pull myself. As for Ryan what a joke, now I see why hes working at a comic shop. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE! That place is run poorly.

Absolutely loved my visit (even if it was short). The employees were all friendly and were able to help us find what we wanted. The only downsides were that the employee we spoke with was a bit quiet and hard to understand at times, the older trading card booster packs were a bit expensive but still reasonable to an extent, and the selection for singles (Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards) was shabby... but other than that I am entirely certain that I will go there again in the near future.

By far my favorite comic book store. They are a library as well, so you can read the comics within the store and they dont mind. The staff there is friendly and great, and they do all sorts of neat community events.

Great selection. Awesome comic sale that was perfect for my son to find spiderman comics. Staff was friendly.

Absolutely what I want out of a comic store. Clean, well informed,and abnormally polite . My girlfriend and I go here for magic cards and comics and although the place is smaller than the average comic shop, the have what counts. Ryan the owner is a genuinely polite man. When he asks how you are, he doesnt say it out of habit, he really means it. The bathroom is crazy clean, and I say this because if you dont know already gamers are very stinky people lol. The only thing that I wish he had more of is graphic novels but you cant win em all. :)

Best Comic Book store in Murrieta! Okay, so its the only comic book store in Murrieta... I like it though... Oh, and before people start commenting, I know there is one in Temecula too.

This shop is inviting and Ryan is extremely friendly! I love this store!

I love this shop simply because of the books that you have in here. I just love to read and I like that there is a place that enable that craving for people like me.

Fun and inviting place. Great for playing RPG or board games with friends. Always updated comic selection too.

Great comics. Great atmosphere. The best part about Ryans comics is, the amazing staff.

They took way too long to help someone when there was no lines at all irritated

Great place to get comics, always have what Im looking for.

Awesome staff, the owner; Ryan, is very nice and has a very nice environment.
