First time in and I loved looking through the selection. Im from out of town and I found a bunch of titles that Ive been searching for. Their inventory is quite impressive and the employee working the register was friendly. A cool gem of a LCS.

I love this place it has so many cool things. The pricing is not horrible for what it is and the guys there know there stuff. I went in to buy a action figure for a kid that was shot and they where awesome enough to donate a bunch of comics, the family and the kid are so grateful

Review №12

Very cramped and the AC wasnt working on a +90° day. Small selection of new releases and a moderate selection of back issues. Some nice moderate to high end pop culture items, but if youre looking for selection, would recommend their Hub shopping center location in Richfield. Also, poor parking capabilities.

Ive had some great experiences with the good folks at Hot Comics for years and years. This last visit wasnt one of them. This location is cramped, kind of grimy, and super unwelcoming. I maybe should have gotten a clue when I couldnt find the location (road construction) and the guy who answered the phone couldnt (wouldnt?) give me directions, or even tell me what other businesses were nearby. I got you dont belong in our clubhouse look from the guy working, and his buddy (maybe an employee, hard to say). Just an all around unpleasant visit. Try their Richfield store or Source Comics (Roseville) for a better experience. There appears to be a decent amount of stock here, so I guess two stars for having stuff I might want to buy? All in all a real bummer.

Quality comics and collectibles. We had trouble finding the location exactly and they talked us through the construction detour with great patience;). We found exactly what we were looking for and the owner is very knowledgeable;)

Such a fantastic edition to Weber-Camden! Took a walk down to the store and got some comics, trinkets and Pokémon cards all for a reasonable price. The guys are still getting set up but this is gonna be a hot spot for me and my neighborhood family. The future is bright!

It was my first visit to this store since they moved from the New Hope location. The selection seemed to be less than what it was at the previous location. The temperature inside was very hot, it was so uncomfortable that my son and I had to limit our time there.

I’ve been a avid customer here for 5 years and also a member. I preordered 2 shining fates Pokémon product back in December. When it arrived in February I had two of them in my name waiting for me. When I went to pick up the product I was told that I would only get one. The slap in the face was also that they also marked up the price over its retail price for a PRE-ORDER. What’s the point of preordering something two-three months out when you’re just going to scalp the price anyways? This kind of made me upset because over the years Instead of buying the products for cheaper online I supported my local card shop and bought things from them at a higher price. this is the last time I will shop there. I URGE everyone to avoid this place because there is no customer loyalty or integrity here.Loyalty and respect goes both ways. If they don’t return it, they don’t deserve it.

Awesome staff that know what theyre talking about and very helpful.Star Wars Day & Free Comics day from 2019. Cool Cos play folks. They had local artists and writers that day. The store is fantastic & the staff are knowledgeable on products and books. If they dont have it in stock they can usually get it for you.

Seems like it’s a fine store if you’re looking for comics, but there is essentially no manga. They had one shelf that was partially full.

Review №35

Been coming to this amazing place since I was a small child in the early 90s and have continued to always return. Just learned they are moving locations most likely out of this particular center Which will be somewhat bittersweet for all the memories I have, but will undoubtably be going to wherever their new location is. Their selection is massive and their service is very personable and knowledgeable. If you enjoy comics or collectibles this is the place for you.

I sold some 80s/90s toys at Hot Comics. Mike offered a fair price and was pleasant to do business with. The store is very impressive. The community that Mike and the staff has created is even more impressive. It was like a comic book store version of Cheers....where everybody knows your name. Very cool place. Would recommend any enthusiasts go there.

Lackadaisical Ownership & management!How The Mighty have Fallen....______________This comic-store in New Hope MN (prior to the 100 yards move), USED TO BE the Best!They also used to be open till 9PM (way back when I believe), than 8PM. Now in 2020, its 7PM. SMH ((Is it because Viruses are more dangerous after sundown apparently / OR They dont need customers that bad)).Thus If you work normal hours; like 9-to-6 (includes your hour lunch break). You can only go to HOT COMICS during Your days off. Because Hot Comics is so HOT- their only open when most of the working world, is also at work..Smart buisness strategy huh....Never mind them having hanging posters of comic books that theyre SOLD OUT OF! Yup.> Imagine A Movie Theater having outside facing posters of movies- You cant go watch. HaHa! Thats the HOT COMICS equivalent.& When it comes to flagship comics like ASM & reg. Batman ((Top Selling, regularly popular comic books)). Well,,, If you cant find time to make it over to HOT COMICS on the day they come out, say- during your Lunch Break.. Well than FORGET-ABOUT-IT !!! Because they are regularly SOLD-OUT of ASM & Batman in less than 6 hours! I have noticed over the years, their Especially SOLD-OUT during major, monumental comicbook releases. I.e. New #1s, BiG Part 1s, Milestone numbered issues (Batman 700, Amazing 800, Detective comics 1000, CRISIS Whatever #1). You know,, Big books. Hyped, Heavily solicited stuff. That any idiot can see is up-coming. Especially if they read them Newspaper CSNs ((comic solicitation rags that they give out for free)). You would think A serious store- would prep & prepare for these Big Books. Well, Not HOT COMICS (NEW HOPE) anyway.. An dont bother asking the girl or the guy working, about anything comicbook related. Because they will literally tell you; I dont know, Im more of A Video game person. Sadly, these our ALL FACTS!On the *Positive side;* HOT COMICS does have A decent selection of everything A comic book store should. Even though A 50% Off (Non-Brand-New) comics & 30% off Toys & tees; STORE SALE, every now & than; wouldnt hurt to thin the fodder. Especially considering that All them UN-SOLD new-ish (within A year or after) comics will soon be thrown into A long box & hidden in the backroom until theyre dug out for A comic-con (who knows when) and sold for A $1 or less!IF THEY GET SOLD AT ALL. Which sounds pretty stupid for A sustainable buisness. Especially when you could get around $2 for the majority of them right now (while their stories are still somewhat relevant). Hel-lowwww Hot Comics..Than again, maybe whoevers in charge is A millionaire. And thus could careless about operating A SMART sustainable buisness.

Great mix of brand new, classic and vintage comics & collectibles. Action figures, statues, TCG, and more.Friendly staff. Always helpful and polite.They offer discounts for people with comic pull lists or you can buy at annual discount for like $15 that works on almost everything in store (Sideshow and some other distributors dont allow discounting). You can preorder most collectibles, too.They have 2 other locations, and if youre looking for a specific item theyll check the other places for you, too. If you cant make it out to those places, theyll have it brought over on the next inter-store delivery.

Great comic book store! They are very helpful and knowledgeable. We let the kids browse through everything and pick out what they wanted. Good selection, old and new comics, toys and collectibles. Single issues and graphic novels. Honestly, their graphic novel prices are a little high so I usually buy those on Amazon. But we love the experience of going to the comic books store - reminds you of the days of visiting the corner comic book store. We will be back!

They have a box of Magic the Gathering cards sorted by color. Have a seat at their tables and chairs and browse through the cards. You might find some good cards to make a deck better, to make a new deck, or inspire you to try a different strategy in a deck.

This store has a great selection of comics and collectibles and has a huge inventory of older comics. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable.

Hot Comics New Hope is a little farther away and a little more out of my way than some other comic stores but it is my preferred place to go and I will try to make the time to go there whenever possible. They have a really great staff who are willing to put things on hold for you, a good discount program for frequent shoppers and simple monthly pull service for your must have titles per month. The thing that clinches it for me is the fact that they have an incredible discount section so you can try new-to-you trade books on a budget. So far they are also the only people with Howard the Duck back issues as well as a good selection of action figures and thats huge to me. One of the best places Ive been to and Ive been a lot of places.

I really like this shop, and the staff was very helpful. I do have one minor complaint though, and that is that the store was just too quiet. It was uncomfortably silent in there while I was browsing and I think some quiet background music would give the store a much better atmosphere. That aside, Im a big fan of this place.
