Metropolis Comics

My favorite comic book store. A year ago I decided to get back into collecting comics, and I promised myself I wouldn’t go crazy like 20 yrs ago, when I was collecting multiple titles from DC and Marvel. Guess what, walking into the store and with the friendly and helpful customer service, I ended up signing up for the membership, a pull list and I have my nieces collecting too. I enjoy coming every Saturday with my niece. She helps me not go crazy and buy. LOL
I always get a friendly greeting, the staff is outstanding. I highly recommend going here to pick up comics and toys.

Metropolis comics has become my official shop for Hot Toys. Anyone who collects Sideshow/​Hot Toy products knows there are very few shops that have an official license from Sideshow to sell their products. Which means you either have to purchase directly from Sideshow or buy them on eBay or Amazon. Which means extra money and time with shipping. Going to Metropolis makes things so much easier and convenient for me which is automatically 5 stars in my book. As an added bonus, the staff is cool and helpful. Mike is the main person I deal with and he always helps me out with questions I have. They have an excellent selection of DC Direct Figures, Star Wars black series, Marvel Select, Marvel Legends, and Marvel/​DC Misc. figures all for retail price. They also have some Japanese products like Bandai and Playarts. I highly recommend getting their yearly or lifetime membership because it’s an automatic 15% of your purchases (I think 20% if you get lifetime but I’m not sure). You can’t beat that.

So far so great! The staff is friendly. Especially behind the counter. As soon as you walk through the door, theres a long row of long boxes to thumb through. Membership is twenty or twenty five for a yr of 15% off. Me and my bro signed up first visit. Angel works there til eleven pm. So cool to look at comics nice and late. My new favorite shop. Phat Collectibles and Comics Unlimited can kiss my azz! Im happy to have a cool shop I trust.

Excellent costumer service I’ve gone to many comic shops and nothing compares to how helpful the staff can be and to me that’s what matters most.

I remember the first day I decided to come here…
The Edge of Spiderverse issue #2 (The first appearance of SpiderGwen!!!) had just been released and I couldn’t find it anywhere. In fact, I called a few places and got laughed at for asking if they had it in stock. But, not here. Mike picked up and said they had plenty and to drop on by. That i did!
I was extremely impressed with their customer service. They were friendly and knowledgeable.
They explained what was going on in the a Spider Verse and got me hyped enough to even open a pool box/​membership with them (for a small fee). The benefits of the membership kept me hooked. I get discounts off of merchandise and in the long run the membership paid for itself.
The staff has changed quite a bit in the last year and a half that I’ve been visiting them but Mike and Angel have been always been around. Two of the coolest comic book guys I’ve ever met. And let’s not forget about Purple… she’s super amazing and has made a great place, even better. She called me today to update some of my box info and it pushed me to write this review because of how cool she is!!!
Lastly, their selection is great!!! Comics, Tshirts, collectable, and so much more. I always want to buy more and have to control myself a bit.
This will continue to be my «go-​to» place for long time.
Check it out… you’ll be happy!

Great comic book shop. Staff is very friendly and helpful. If you need help finding something, just ask. I found an all new wolverine #2 in the dollar bin and mentioned I couldn’t find the first while paying. The man at the register went ahead and not only checked but found it for me without me even asking. I really appreciated that. I will definitely continue shopping here.

This is one of the coolest comic book stores.
I’m a huge sucker for 1 dollar long boxes, They have a good amount that took me 30 mins of scanning through to find a few great gems. While I was doing that my boyfriend was going through all the normal single issues, Which I plan on going back since they had such a wide variety and I want to spend some time with those wonderful long boxes. Haha. Anyways, after 2 hours and 70 bucks, my boyfriend and I walk away with some great comics, pins and even bag and board. Which was such a great price! I plan on going back more often!!! Because we didn’t even get to tap into the shirts and toys yet. So to be continued?

We have been collecting for over 20 years and have visited many comic book stores over the years. In that time we have seen many places come and go, really glad that we found this lil gem so close to home. We stopped by on a Friday evening to kickstart our weekend. We ended up buying some cool items to add to our collection of comics. Definitely plan to go back!

Friendly staff and feels like an old fashioned local comic book store with a welcoming atmosphere. Collection of update merchandise is readily available.

My new stop for comics. No more comic cult and beach ball comics. Lots of super hero stuff.

Yes… This place is awesome. Not a huge selection of books. But they will carry the new stuff, which matters the most. I recommend their membership pool. Is worth it and convenient.

Great place!!! I have been coming here for about 9 – 7 months now and it’s my go to place. The staff is very friendly to my girlfriend and me. They really try to interact with there customers give great recommendations on what you are currently reading. I recently got into reading comics about less then a year ago and I have to say this is the best shop I’ve stepped foot in. Other places are just like library’s old and dull. This place is not that at all!!!

Awesome comic book store!
The staff are really funny and nice. Both employees greeted me the instant I walked in. They have a huge variety of comics. I originally walked in to find a comic book on Aquaman, but then got distracted by all the cool toys, shirts, and cool posters they had. Very big selection on almost anything. I would highly recommend going here to pick up comics.

I went to try Thai Smile a mile or two away and decided to look up comic book stores in the area and this place came up. The store is easy to find being right off Bellflower.
It’s really clean and organized and I loved that it was nice and cold, since Southern California is currently experiencing a heat wave.
The guy running the shop was pleasant and talkative and made me feel welcomed. Even knowing I wasn’t from the area he wasn’t dismissive like other places tend to be if they think you might not come back.
I liked that the comics are scanned at the register because I’ve been overcharged before in other shops that simply do a manual tally.
I would definitely go back if I’m ever down there, especially since they also have a nice assortment of shirts, as I’ve seen discussed in other reviews.

Metropolis Comics has been my go to comic book shop for almost 5 years now. Not once have they disappointed. There is very little chance that they don’t have what you’re looking for. The people there are extremely friendly and they’re knowledge of comic books is amazing. They’ll answer almost every question you have. If you’re doubting about coming to this place, don’t. They won’t disappoint.

The only little problem i have with Metropolis Comics is the location, it’s not that it a bad location, it’s that Bellflower Blvd is always busy. hahaha i know. But, hey, they have a free parking in the back and it’s decent. This store is pretty well organized with their comics and merchandise. Like how they will have the newest comics one sections and a different section as the week passes by to keep the newer ones on their own section.
I love the variety of shirts they have and for the prices. Shirts feel like they are good material and not the cheap kind you find out in the streets. Also they have them display on their wall so you wont have to pull them all out.
Staff has been very friendly and helpful, this place is definitely a place i will come and buy my comics again.

I went here for the first time yesterday (7÷1÷15) with 2 of my sons and my wife. When I walked in, we walked right pass the staff and not a word was said. Which I thought was weird but whatever. My son had a few questions and one of the employees was very helpful so I’m glad my first impression was off. The staff is very helpful and the cashier greeted us when we got to the front of the line. I’m not trying to sound like a little whiny girl but I think it’s important to be greeted when you enter someone’s place of business.
Their selection of comic books is very well organized and they have some pretty cool shirts for sale, we bought 3 of them.
We’ll be back if my kids ask to be taken back. This was my attempt to get them into comic books. They offer some kind of membership here that gives you an additional discounts. Check this place out.

Great Vibe!
I’m fairly new at reading comics, it hasn’t even been ten years yet, so I have a lot to read and learn. I’ve only recently decided to be a member about a month ago. I love the hunt for comics I’ve missed but now I just go straight to Metropolis. Mike and James know their stuff and I wholeheartedly trust their opinions on what’s good and what I need to read right now. They also don’t judge me for picking up whatever it is I feel like picking up or trying out. They make my husband and I feel welcomed and they always point us in the right direction. We learn something new every time we stop by.
The store is organized and even displays important comic events in order on the walls which helps me figure out what I still need to read and in what order. They carry all the titles I follow and the way they setup my pull list makes picking up my comics easy. It’s also great that my husband can pick up my pull list on his way home. Being a member here is great but most of all we love Mike and James. The staff is friendly and I would recommend this store to everyone I know because its the the people who you interact with that give this place heart.

Although they didn’t have one of the issues of Bob’s Burgers I was hoping to get, they did have two other ones and the sales attendant went out of her way to check in with me and see that I back order the issue if I wanted to. It’s close to home, parking is always plenty and the atmosphere is welcoming.
My new go to spot for sure!

This is the best place for comics.
The owner is super nice and a Big USC fan. Fight on! Mike.
Everyone that works there is friendly and really know their comics.
They have a membership program that saves you 10% on everything you buy. (it does cost $ 20 but totally worth it) plus when they have sales you get even more off.
They do a great job on the pull list and have sales all the time.
Plus one of the best stocked $ 1 bins I have ever seen. Lots of gems to be found.
What can I say Metropolis is the best. Got to fly. Superman signing off. UP Up and away!
