Love this place. With so many comic shops shut down, it brings me great joy that this one is still going. The owner and staff are always great to talk to. The selection is wonderful. My only issue is I can never buy everything I want. Thats my issue though, LOLSeriously though, you really should check it out. Get a graphic novel. Get into a new comic series. Grab a collectible.Did I mention MtG cards and boosters? Grab some of those too!Cant recommend this place enough.

Thought Id visit a few comic shops in the area, and this one was Awesome overall!Bought eight .25¢ comics, a $1 comic (Invincible reprint #1), Original Sin complete set for $10, and two graphic novels (half off on each). Steal of a deal!Yea. I know what youre thinking: Paper comics are still a thing? In the words of the great Stan Lee, paper comics are tangible and can be held unlike digital comics. Yes, I do have digital comics too...This store has A LOT of stuff. Figurines, FREE items, and loads of new/ older comics. Lots of variety too.The behind the glass items range from silver age appearances, to ultra rare Spiderman merchandise. Theres a huge assortment of HeroClix too (and well priced!). Darkseid was on display for $3! I didnt buy it tho, saving for one of you...Got to talk to the 2 guys present at the shop, and it was fun talking about HeroClixs glory days, Invincible cartoon on Amazon Prime, and the state of comic book shops.Yea. I could have bought everything digitally, but I was extremely happy to support a local comic shop instead. Was a win win in my books. Head over and support them if you can! *Donations accepted too (Your old comics, figurines, etc.).

TL;DR - Me expiernce here is was a store who cared more about a game on the TV than a customer in their shop. They were rude, unfriendly, and not helpful. But the store was clean.I went to this store on a quiet evening after trying to call the store multiple times to no answer. When I entered there were 2 people working, one was at the register with a customer, and the other was behind his laptop watching a football match. I was looking for a gift, and so I will be the first to admit that I do not know much about comic books. What I was looking for was a DC comics holiday issue, and so that seemed like enough info to be able to find without any help. After doing two circles around the stores walls to find it. I decided to turn to the employees. The man who was watching the game refused to make eye contact or acknowledge me in any way. I simply asked HI there, Im looking for a certain comic and couldnt see it on the shelf, Im hoping you might be able to help? After waiting a moment, he looked up at me, and rudely asked what I was looking for. Without any effort he said he didnt have it, and then shouted at the laptop screen over something that happened in the game. I was taken back by just how uncaring this store was for business. Before leaving I asked if they had any suggestions on other stores I could reach out to. I was given a dirty look, and then I left the store.This might have been an off night, maybe its the owner who agreed to help his employees but wanted to watch the match while being there. I dont know. The store seemed to have decent stock, and the environment was fairly clean. But if anyone would ask about for a suggestion on comic book stores, I would never suggest this place.

My go-to guy for most things, plus he calls and does special orders.Before The Dreaming, then Comics Dungeon closed down, I was an occasional customer. Especially when I was buying at a long-defunct Ballard comic shop, near my neighborhood.I get my Crumb, Blade Runner 2019, and Dan Obannons Alien fix, so hey, Im good, meng.

GABE IS THE BOIE! He recommended swamthing by Allen Moore to me the first time I went in and its now my favorite comic of all time. Hes like the the guy who did wolverines tattoo except with comic books.

Im a long time comics fan and just became aware of this shop. The owner was VERY helpful, holding a title that my wife was selling for our daughter. He also helped me find an older title that Id read years before. I will be returning often to get back into the comics habit...

Comic store with a great variety, lots of space to browse. Still had that local and independent feel like childhood. Super knowledgeable owners who can help you order in specific books, answer questions about series, or just geek out with. Also I sold several self-published books here on consignment.

My go to for all my graphic novel needs past and present. Great, friendly service. Owner is willing to listen and fulfill any order requests and easily setup weekly new release bins for whoever wants. If you love comics, collectibles, etc this place is for you. I also loved the kids selection for my daughter, she almost gets more excited than me when we go!

The owner is awsome, I know nothing really about collecting comics as just recently started collecting, best friend just got me started, and Im planning on doing a subscription box with him. Price for box is great, very affordable. I am stuck in a powerchair and he is very helpful with me trying to get in, way to go gabriel, you won a permanent customer

I love this place! Its difficult to walk in there without buying something. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Its not uncommon to find yourself shooting the breeze about comics or pop culture stuff while youre in there. And, best of all, its convenient to my home and work.

I really cant say enough about this comic shop: all of the employees are welcoming, friendly, and they go out of their way to help. Its been my go-to shop for weekly comics for almost 4 years, and deciding to open a box here was the best decision. Its also my favorite place to get into MTG pre-release events, when they come around. Fair prices, friendly staff, excellent selection considering the size of the store, and theres almost always a table of sale/clearance stuff thats great to browse! 5/5, would recommend.

This seem like mostly a one person ran store but it was clean and the guy was super helpful. Anwsered all my question and even order part of a series that I had been trying to find and emailed me as soon as it was in. If you have any free time I would definitely check this place out.

Was excited to come in for the first time since I live around the corner. The place was clean, but service and selection was lacking.Maybe offer to customers that you can order something for them instead of just saying you dont know what it is?Hope this improves the experience there.

This place is super inviting and the staff has treated me really well. They are friendly and knowledgable, and I have found two new series to read from their recommendations. This is my go-to comic shop in Seattle. I just wish they were open on Mondays, because it seems thats the day I always want to pick up a new issue!

One of the best comic stores in the city! Primarily because the owner is a really cool guy, and he pretty much runs the place by himself. Check it out next time youre in Greenwood.

A comic store for everyone. No gatekeeping, no genre shaming, just a nice neighborhood shop with a solid selection. Good for entry level nerds and well-seasoned fans alike. Some toys and figures as well, but the focus is definitely comics.
