Mega City One

YASSSS! They had Cards Against Humanity. Although it is cheaper online. $ 20 on amazon and $ 35 in their store it’s worth it as you cannot buy this game in stores. I needed it ASAP. Other stores that do have it charge upwards of $ 45. My personal tip would be just buy it on amazon. unless you have a party that night then head here. These guys are really nice and helpful!

I haven’t been here in a hot minute, but damn, this is a great card shop. I’m into Magic: the Gathering, and have come here for a few standard events and drafts in the past. The staff is great, and the people who go here are pretty hip and not so mind-​numbingly aspergery and socially awkward that you can’t strike up a conversation with a stranger or mat down and start a game, like it is… well, basically anywhere else you go to play MtG.
I wouldn’t think about going anywhere else for MtG stuff; I’m not really into comics, but it looks like they have one metric fuckton of a selection. Check it out!

Pretty cool store if you like comics they have a wide selection. Wish they had stickers. The posters they sell are sick! Customer service was great as well.

A refreshingly unpretentious, cheerfully geeky comics store in the middle of L.A. With 20% off on pull lists –comics and trade paperbacks — with pretty minimal requirements — plus free bags and boards, it’s kind of an no-​brainer. (After years and years of comics reading, it’s the first place I’ve ever had a pull list in L.A.) The friendly and enthusiastic staff go out of their way to be helpful. The front is packed with a crazy diversity of comix and pop culture posters, if you’re looking to wallpaper a room. The selection clearly caters to the Front-​of-​Previews crowd, but they’ve got a deeper selection than you might guess and will try to get in anything you ask for. Super-​long hours for easy accessibility. (The Melrose area is notoriously difficult to park in, but there are free spots in the residential areas — if you *carefully* read the signs.) Stay away if Magic cards and tables full of heated throwing down aren’t your style. Sure, it’s super-​nerdy, but that’s a welcome relief from the hipper-​than-​thou attitude you might have encountered at some other local stores. If you swing by around lunchtime, check out Mao’s Kitchen just around the corner for their way-​too-​much-​food-​to-​eat-​in-​one-​sitting lunch special and munch while you check out this week’s stack of loot.

Nice place to check out. Comics everywhere, a place to get your inner nerd love going on.

Fantastic store! Wide selection of comics with a friendly and knowledgable staff. If you are looking for MTG cards, they carry all formats and know how to play each format quite well. :-) Great store, great people, good times had by all. :-)

We went to this location twice. There is street parking for pay and then some residential parking right around the corner which is free.
I didn’t get that great of welcoming on either time I came. The first time I went I saw a variety of figures and comics which was good. There wasn’t too much for Superman. There are posters all over the ceiling which is unique.
The two guys working there seemed more into themselves and what they were doing then interacting with me or acknowledging me. I asked to see a toy that caught my eye and had them took it down and told them that I may be back.
A couple days later we came back and there seemed to be some more activity and a magic game going on.
They had more staff and seemed more engaging. I got the toy I wanted and the salesman kept trying to show me other things, which is nice but also annoying.
I got the toy and we left.
Overall, the place has an interesting feeling to it. Staff is ok and selection alright.

I went in tonight on a whim (after the Harley Quinn set) and was thrilled to see the location bustling with people. Print is not dead. Even if the majority were playing card games. I feel that made it a more fun atmosphere.
Of course I ended up seeing more things I wanted, and made one extra impulse purchase, and the handsome blonde gentleman gave me 20% off. A young woman had just bought Cards of Humanity and wanted to play a round so I joined in. So did the handsome blonde staffer who helped me prior. They were all incredibly nice people and made me feel comfortable and like I fit in. I will definitely be going back for the next Harley Quinn set and I hope to run into these nice people again.

I had the chance to stop by this shop today and i dont expect everyone to greet me and go above and beyond to make sure i feel welcome, however, i browsed around the shop for about 15 minutes and yes i realize that the two individuals were busy unpacking more inventory, but i think they should have at least acknowledged me when i walked in. The shop itself has A LOT of inventory ranging from comic books to toys and magic cards. I think this shops biggest weakness is their lack of basic customer service skills, and more organization to their store. With the local shops in the area, this establishment probably wont be the first that comes to mind when i need a comic, but if i happen to be driving by, i wouldn’t go out of my way to find a parking spot to go in.

As a newcomer to Magic the Gathering, I didn’t know where or how to begin, but thankfully I found this place. Super friendly, great staff and very willing to help you. I found myself back within a week playing against other people in a welcoming environment. Great place! Highly recommend you check it out.

Great place for single magic cards and all accessories. Customer service needs work, but I would definitely come back. If you’re looking to buy single cards and can’t find them anywhere in town, chances are they might be here.

This store is awesome! I came in looking for a particular title and ended up walking out with a couple more than I anticipated. Not a Magic guy myself but they seemed to have plenty of that stuff as well. Posters, shirts, stickers, man I had a hard time not spending the wad in my pocket. Even if you’re not a big comic person it’s worth a look, I’ll definitely be back here!

SO I USED TO PLAY MAGIC THE GATHERING. I’LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT.
Anyway, while I was bored at my parent’s house over the holidays, I pulled out my old binders of cards and began looking up their prices. Turns out I had some valuable stuff.
Selling on eBay is such a drag and is super time consuming (and takes a sizable percentage of your profit). Melrose Music & Comics was a dream in comparison. They gave me a super fair price for my binders and paid in cash. No shipping, no dealing with buyers, no waiting. The whole process only took a few days. These guys know their stuff and are very straight up.
Also a great comic store! Oh, they also don’t sell music anymore.

Nice place. I enjoy going to this store especially since they are open later than most comic shops in the Los Angeles area. Fun staff and great selection

One of the chillest comic book stores I’ve ever been in. Super knowledgable staff and very friendly. A store run by fans for fans.

Fun small comic shop. There were only two crates of used records for $ 1, but they did have a decent comic selection, as well as a small selection of both music and comic tees.

If you’re looking for an intimate and non-​intimidating place to play Magic The Gathering then look no further! Melrose Music & Comics has a great staff and group of regulars who helped me get back into the game after years of absence.
In addition to the usual Friday Night Magic and pre-​release/​release events, they also have cash in cash out tournaments on Mondays and support for casual styles like EDH and Cube.
Great shop, great community. Come out and play!

No more music. Sign of the times. But the best discount on new comics — 20%. Plus, a free bag and board. Can’t beat that deal. Friendly guys working the counter, too.
Amended review. Decided to drop this store. They use
to manage their subscriptions. After the fourth time that either Comixology, or Melrose, messed up my subs, I decided enough was enough. Missing titles, subs not added, etc. I’ve missed key issues that sold out, leaving me stuck. Comixology is a poor partner for an LCS. The business goal of Comixology is in selling digital comics, and their goal is to become the sole provider of comics, in a digital format. The successful completion of this objective rests upon the continued decline of local comic stores.
Guess the store is ok, but they’re really about Magic cards now.

Injured my ankle so I had to find something less physical than basketball, but still have that competitiveness aspect. So I decided to pick up Magic again. A couple of buddies introduced me to this shop and I am very glad I did. They play various music while you nerd out.
This place has collectible toys, comic books, music records, posters, t shirts, and most importantly the magic singles /​TCG accessories.
Staff is very friendly and knowledgable. Ask for Chris or Reese and they will be sure to take good care of you.
I like to come here for the mtg drafts on Thursday nights. It’s $ 15, Swiss, and the payout are very reasonable. They also have Friday night standard format tournaments along with drafts if enough people show up.
The crowd here are very friendly. Everyone is laid back. People here just want to relax and get some magic in. I actually learn a lot from playing against all the various players here.
This place can get busy and as a result the limited parking spaces in the rear can fill up really fast. I recommend to find metered parking if possible. It will be tough especially since Melrose is a very busy street. Tough, but not impossible.
Thank you Chis and Reese for making this a great spot to play magic. It is truly a getaway spot for the nerd that is in all of us!

This comic store is rad is a number of different ways. I never grew up on comics, I grew up on baseball cards. If I could do it all over again I would have. In high school I did something faaaar more geeky: I played Magic the Gathering. So right before I moved to LA I got into this nostalgic phase where I went and build a deck.
With the urge to play I looked up some spots that might accommodate that need. This came up. Now, It was not long before I found out how much the game had changed that I decided to stop. You can’t just make a deck after being out of the loop since 1998 and expect to know whats going on. So many new cards have come out and the game has changed.
THE GAME DOOOOONE CHAAAANNGE.
I quickly decided to stop. Cut out this nonsense. It was going to cost me too much money and time to get back into the MTG loop. However, This place on Melrose was cool for so many other reasons. You can get loose individual cards of what ever set is out at the time. You can get loose comics from the bargain bin for a quarter. I found an issue of the «Batman vs. Predator» series.
This place also threw me back to my high school days in another way. The teenage me used to go to stores like «Tunes» in Hoboken and «Disc-​o-​rama» in the village to find bargain CDs. The era of digital music has completely taken over and this record store is still here and still pretty awesome. I think I picked up a Soul Asylum CD from before they were good.
One other cool thing is its well trafficked with tourists. Walking in here you will see all types of people from all walks of life and all parts of the world. From a leather jacketed punk rock Brit, well versed on his rare editions of Cock Sparrer Vinyls to a Business suit looking for a couple of live ‘Stones’ albums. Also in terms of magic cards the regulars here are some of the best comp in LA. I think the kid I spoke to that works there was or still is officially a judge for Wizards of the Coast.
Really what this place is, is three stores in one: Used CDs, MTG, and Comics
If you just feel the need to geek out come here.
