A cool place to browse the known and unknown worlds of comics while exploring Portland. Kids loved it and of course were happy with their comic finds. Staff is super nice & welcoming.

Huge eccentric and esoteric selections with an emphasis on local zines and artists, yet I still found some Batman books I’d been looking for! The woman there was extremely helpful in telling me about a lot of the indie books there. A lot of fun looking around here and spending lots of money!

This isnt just the best store in Portland- its the best store anywhere, ever, including other planets.

I felt at home in this lovely shop. Situated in an Old China Town, the t-shirts in this place are interesting, not over done to get attention, and affordable. $20 is the medium.There are other fun things like stickers, decals, mugs, books, etc. The small gallery featured the cutest cat paintings and seem like a place for artists to gather a following. Will def go back when we visit.Staff is helpful and friendly.

A small comics shop bursting with personality. You could easily burn an afternoon browsing this place.

Cool little place to check out. They have a little section called Grass Hut with some super fun vinyl toys too.

Definitely worth the stop. Also seems like there are good picks to be had as they dont pull all the gems for themselves.

Helped me find the perfect gift, and look for a vintage comic book.

Checked out Floating World Comics to see what they offered for horror comics. I was greeted within seconds, listened to what I was interested in and was given many quality comics. I went in not knowing much in this field of interest but left knowing all I wanted to know. I thank the person who helped me by not selling me but educating me. I am now a lifelong fan of this business.

Just got an online order from Floating World today. Was package well and had many hand written notes stressing not bend my comic. Greatly miss walking into the store. Beautiful variety of different comics, prints, and toys. Always could find something new to be inspired by in there. Very nice staff, who seems passionate about comics. Hopefully we can reopen one day and they can do more cool projects for comic book creators and artist. As they contribute from what I can see locally and nationally.

Cute lil comic shop that had a bunch of obscure stuff I wasnt expecting to find!

I saw a friends band play here once like 5 years ago! It was a good show.

People working here are people I would want to be friends with. Theres also quite a bit more than indie stuff (some of us still love Spider-Man! LOL) Not many back issues but when comics come off the new shelves, quite a lot of them end up selling for just a buck! Theres no reason not to stop in and spend a few bucks to try out some new (to you) comics! To sum it up: Good people, good comics, great variety & great prices!

I love my neighborhood comic book store. Floating World is very easy to navigate through. I find just about everything I look for and if they dont have it they are happy to order it.The staff are so nice and very helpful.Theyll even offer other ideas if need be.I love the place. I miss the dumpster holders those were cool but in their place are art books. They have collectables and other merch too.I strongly suggest paying a visit if youre in old town Im a lifer customer for sure.

I’m an avid comic book reader from Denver (Home of Mile Hi comics) and was super impressed with this place. The guy running the desk was super knowledgeable and friendly, and the place had this awesome punk vibe to it. There were some random old books and unique items along with current marvel/dc stuff. My lady who doesn’t even like comics said this place was really cool and she could see getting into comics because of how cool it was. Like everything in Portland, they’re just keeping it real here. Thanks guys, a must see if you’re around here!!

Love this store. They had amazing local comics and zines. It feels like I am becoming more connected to my place just by being there. Self-published content is everywhere. And the staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

Great shop with lots to choose from. There really is something for everyone. The staff are very friendly and helpful, so if you need recommendations just ask. In a great location with lots of nearby food and an arcade. Highly recommend this place for any comic book or art lover.

Fun comic bookstore. I like the record bins.

Call it a coincidence, but right after I and my partner entered the store, the shopkeeper wiped down the door handles. Customers came in after me, and I saw him do no such thing for them. As a (non-Chinese) East Asian-American who has not been in Asia in a decade, I felt repelled by such behavior. Of course, it is easy to call it mere coincidence, that I am reading into something that did not happen. If you don’t wish to take my word, don’t. But I not only felt uncomfortable in such an environment, but also found it ironic that a store with a well-curated section dedicated to Japanese comics would stoop to such typecasting - and inaccurately to boot.

My favorite comics store anywhere. Unique and wonderful selection of psychedelic art books.

I love comic book stores. I love this comic book store the MOST. It is incredibly well-curated, with incredible and unique titles Ive never seen anywhere else. Plus, they have a fantastic sale section.

They have an amazing selection of indie and self-published comics. They even publish their own. I love browsing the racks full of small comics you cant find anywhere else. They have some fun vinyl toys and a large collection of records. The staff is very knowledgeable. Dont worry, you can still get your trades here too.

Looked cool and interesting. They wanted to hold my backpack while I looked. Wasnt willing to let them hold it as it contained work material. So I left. If you go dont bring any bags with you.

Exquisite comic shop. Great selection, lots of weird stuff. Odd custom toys. Friendly staff. Other customers seemed to be finding lots they liked. Got some comics an a patch.

Such a great store with a really warm vibe. A unique select of graphic novels / books / zines / art & records. Theres probably something for everyone in here. Can be a little on the expensive side but youre getting the good stuff so when you need a personal creative-themed treat, this will probably deliver.

Lots of really unique, independent books as well as regular superhero stuff. Its easy to find something cool here.

Ultimate comic book store - Always in awe of the selection - Impossible to leave empty handed. Ive been going here for years but never thought to leave a review. I recommend Floating World to new friends and those interesting in finding new comics and zines who couldnt make a zine event, like PZS or Short Run. Their cutting edge comics, zines, and printed media have turned me on to a lot of new artists over the years and theyve expanded to selling other fun items. The employees are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The owner is a really cool person, Im a little too shy to say hi but Ive heard the best things from artists who work with him. Yah artists, Floating World publishes media.

Creatively wonderful variety of comics from all regions. Things I havent come across but would be interested in finding more about. Figurines and books readily available with vinyl records. Has a little bit of everything there. Great place to find unique gifts.

Excellent collection of mainstream and local/indie comics. I rarely leave without finding something I love. Staff are friendly nerds who are always happy to help.

Such a shame I had a bad experience here because they have a great selection of books. I was in the shop for over 30 minutes when one of the employees decided they would ask me to hand over my purse to them because they dont allow bags in the store. Traveling from another state, Im not going to hand over my bag to someone I dont know. Also, I have been in the store for a while, so for him to all of sudden ask as I was looking at books to buy was really unprofessional. Also for the record I am nicely dressed too and I was in plain sight of the counter the whole time too. So it was super odd. I was there to spend money so Im really frustrated. 2 stars for their book selection of local and independent comics. If security is such an issue then they need to hire door security then. Cant recommend.

Great local comic book shop. Had everything I needed for myself and donated a box for my middle school classroom. Support your local shops! Staff was very friendly and helpful with all of the new books I needed. Great location and tons of other stuff including vinyl and toys. Great setup and very welcoming.

What a great little shop! Bravo for carrying so many Alexander Jodorowsky books. Good stuff!

Carries a huge variety of all comic publishers, a lot of independent material, locally produced comics, art books, participates in the local art scene and generously facilitates opportunities for philanthropy. It is a great place to pick up things you currently like and expand your tastes through good recommendations.They also share the space with Grass Hut Gallery and vinyl purveyors Landfill Rescue Unit for a very unique experience.

Best comics shop in Portland, especially if you read off the beaten path. Lots of zines and independent comics sold here, with frequent art shows and events. Also good for mainstream readers, as they carry pretty much all new titles. Always worth the visit!

Great spot for niche reads

I dont love comic book stores generally. They cater to a type of nerd that just isnt me... This place, however, is totally rad. Weird obscure stuff full of talent and hard work abounds. I wandered and looked through countless gorgeous graphic novels wishing we had something like this place in Austin.

Dont go in if youre just curious about the store. We went in and were browsing and each time a customer came in and looked around then left, the people working in the store insulted them very loudly. It made us really uncomfortable because we knew as soon as WE left theyd start insulting us.They get two stars because I doubt that they were the owners, just workers and the store was one of the best organized comic stores Ive ever seen. Lots of local comics, clearly lighted and lots of space.

The people are the best part. You can get a subscription box which carries stepped discount rates based off the amount you spend a month. Only comic shop downtown, so theres that. Also sells records. Not the best for back issues, but you should be able to find anything new on the shelf.

My favorite hometown comic shop. Wonderful selection beyond the big hitters. Great knowledge and relationships with indie artists

Old Town has a lot of incredible places. Floating World stands out as not only a comic shop, but a shop run by people that love comics. Theyve got an amazing selection and a dedicated staff that can help anyone interested in comics from the neophyte to the lifer.

Great, inviting store with friendly employees and a big inventory of all sorts of comics, graphic novels, zines, and more. I order all my comics here!

Our favorite spot for local comics, zines and graphic novels. The staff is approachable, friendly, knowledgable about both the mainstream and obscure so whether you are a long time comic fan or looking for something new and local this is the place to go. Best in town by far!

Great place to catch your monthly comics and cool assortment of indie works. Not ideal for back issues beyond 4 months.

An interesting collection of comics. Lots of smaller brand stuff, and much more random collected editions than actual single issues. There were also many regular books, CDs, and records sold here. It felt like the store was teetering on having a little bit of everything but not enough of anything. The cashier was SUPER great, though, so definitely high marks for that (she was super friendly and gave me a good discount). Overall, I still definitely recommend this place, just dont go in expecting your typical comic book shop.

Portlands #1 hipster comic book store. Great selection of art books and independent comics. Mainstream DC and Marvel books available too. Some great back issue bargains to be found, but not the best selection of older material.

Great little shop. A bit smaller than some of the others in the area, but they use the space well. Friendly service and a great selection of recent single issues. Pretty good selection of trades as well.

Love this place. Huge selection of indie and big two comics (Not much backstock though). Massive kids selection, lots of local work and tons of graphic novels. A standard for comic book stores. Definitely worth paying for parking.

Floating World is really cool. This place is full of excellent records and has a huge selection of comics, graphic novels, and collectibles. Plenty of oddball stuff here. We bought a booklet called How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety. Hilarious.

They had an amazing selection. Good deals, and a healthy supplies of my favorite villains comics.

Informative, helpful employees that are super friendly and patient. Had a great experience for free comic book day!

This place has a great variety of comics, books, and even zines. I picked up a comic Id been wanting for awhile, and they had both the first edition and a recent anniversary edition to choose from.The service was good as well. Id definitely recommend coming here if youre looking for comics new or old.

I love this place. Everyone is super sweet and knowledgeable. The selection cant be beat. Ambience is excellent. I always make time to visit when Im in town.

Really cool space with a wide range of comics and graphic novels. Spacious, quiet space with friendly staff.They also have records there and some figurines from different artists (Like Tim Biskup!)

This shop is great and if you cant handle the emotional torment that forking your backpack over in an establishment that you do NOT OWN seems to cause you..then idk, maybe set everything you own on fire???

Great selection of obscure comics, manga, records, zines, and some rare/imported books and comics. There’s never a shortage of new finds whenever I come here. Definitely will be back!

Great selection of comics and other cool books and graphic novels. One of the most diverse comic shops Ive visited. Totally recommend checking this place out to any and all.

I walked in on a whim after seeing a GBH poster through the window. I found a couple of hard to find punk records on the shelf waiting for me. I had a good conversation with one of the employees about music while ringing up. The customer before me had a long conversation about comics while I was browsing. Ill definitely be back in this shop when Im in the neighborhood.

A very nice indie comic store with a focus on indie and local publications with a unique selection of titles. Highly recommend!

Great selection and friendly staff.

I visited this great place last year. A wonderful space with friendly and knowledgeable staff. A must visit comic book store!

If you could sum up downtown Portland into a tangible comic book store... So many independent artists and so many genres.

Floating World Comics is a great store with a medium selection of comics. Although it doesnt have a lot of comics, its selection includes many different genres and types of comics, including the classic superhero stuff along with some new age and conceptual stuff

Great selection of Indy and big 2 comics. A little bummed no more records, but still a great place to geek out

Great place full of amazing books and comics. Awesome environment

Got the good good that I need, up to date comics and novels and lots of specialty items that really set them apart from other places. Great manga selection, I find myself always buying something from here when I go.

Every time I walk in here I feel like I like I want to spend my whole paycheck here. Excellent location basically across the street from Ground Kontrol. The owner is a great guy and has excellent taste. Nice little art gallery space tucked in there too.

They have amazing selections of zines and vinyl in addition to any current comic you could possibly want, the staff is super friendly, and the place has great vibes. And a wonderful kids section!!

Zines, feminist literature, a room full of back issues, and any of the current stuff you cant find at Powells. Cool knowledgeable staff.

I would give 5 stars if you could find some of the same records for about 7 dollars less at 2nd ave records. However they have a great selection of both comics and records. Always recommend.

Cool place! Tons of comics and graphic novels. Plenty of space to move around.

Neat place! Lots of variety, and friendly folks. :)

Its an okay shop. Not much in there that I like,read or have been recommended to. Toys and cards are neat, its definitely a place to go in and buy some collectibles

Friendly employees, great selection, and a wonderful atmosphere made my visit absolutely wonderful. I highly suggest this place to every comic book fan in the area, and their selection of vinyl records is fantastic.

I’m sure on a good day this is a great place to get custom toys but I obviously went on a bad day, rudest customer service. I get the cool guy comic book nerd vibe but honestly this was terrible, it’s a shame as I know some of the people that have toys there and I’ll be letting them know to be wary of selling work in an environment that is as toxic as this

Great small space thats packed with a great collection of comics, old and new!

Amazing indie selection, but no back issues whatsoever. Dont come here if youre looking for anything silver or bronzeage. But if you need new stuff or independent titles, this is a great place. PLUS, they sell vinyl!

Amazing selection. Curated like a museum

Great selection of comics, both used and brand new. Also stocks tons of independent publications and local zines. Love that the local creative community is so supported!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff plus a great selection of mainstream and indie comics.

Huge variety, not pretentious, art and art books, zines, and much more. Get good recommendations every time. A cool vibe and a fun place to shop.

Simply an amazing experience. The employees are very helpful and know their stuff! I came here every day that I was in town!

Great selection of unique indy comics. They have books from the big two as well. Not the kinda shop for those looking to search through back issues.

Great selection of comics and art. Helpful and friendly staff.

I love this comic book store in the heart of Downtown Portland in the Pearl. Great and friendly staff and right next to Deadstock Coffee

Its like 3 comic stores in one. Tights & capes, Obscure Indy titles, and rare & collectible are all well catered for. Knowledgeable and friendly staff make this Portlands premier comic store.

Seriously out of this world comic experience

Excellent selection from a variety of publishers, and a nice staff. Definitely great for exploring new books and getting your regular pulls.

Great staff and they recommended me some awesome graphic novels!!!!

Packed with comics! Some manga, too. I was most interested in the indie published stuff but the zines were expensive for me. Many were $10 or more. Itd be nice if they did like a collection sample book of a bunch of the local talent. Maybe they do and I couldnt find it. They were super busy cuz of free comic book day so I didnt feel like bothering the staff. They seemed nice tho.

Best comic book store ever.Staff is simply amazing.

Love this place! Super friendly staff often help me track down books that are difficult to get a hold of and they always have fun stuff from local authors and printers.

Always find something cool.

This its one of my favorite places in the world and the people there are amazing.

A must see stop if your a comic fan I know I loved it

Really great selection of zines and small press comics, on top of great mainstream stuff!

Pretty much one of the best comic stores Ive ever been in. All the new stuff from mainstream publishers. Plus all the local indie books you cant find any where else

Good selection and friendly staff.

Great selection of comic books. They also carry vinyl records and unique graphic novels.

Insanely rude on the phone. Person didnt want to help with my questions and hung up quickly.

Have a pull box here. They have comics. I get em there. They do sell out of some comics if you dont get there on Wednesday. And have a huge selection of dollar comics in the back . they nice.
