Greg’s Comics

It’s been six years since my last visit to Phoenix and since I was last here. Not much has changed in the store and that’s not a bad thing.
I’m an X-​Men nerd, and I found a copy of Uncanny 130 (Introduction of Dazzler) for $ 10! To the non-​nerd set that doesn’t mean much. But for me to find a $ 30 book got $ 10 is an awesome thing. To make things even better this store gives an extra 20% off of all purchases, and it’s not one of those «we’ll give you 20% off of the 20% mark-​up we do to give you the illusion of a deal» type places.
Sure the place could be cleaner, and sure it could use an update, but it’s a comic shop.
Go there, look around and have a good time.

This place rocks. Classic comic book shop. Not very flashy but stacks of comics! Everything and anything I’ve needed.

I drove to the two closest comic book stores actually looking for a Deadpool shirt to wear to the movie premier. I didn’t find any shirts in here unfortunately, but I still walked out with two comics because I couldn’t believe they had these two. «The Dark Phoenix» saga and «Days of Futures Past». I didn’t plan on buying any comics but I couldn’t pass up these two epic stories staring me right in the face. Both of them together we’re only $ 33. They had a LOT of comics to choose from and I was welcomed to look around. It was a pretty small store but it was PACKED with comics. They had a lot of action figures and the guy who was there was friendly and complimented me on my choices. I could see myself going back here in the future.

Place is fantastic, always friendly and very helpful. Staff is very knowledgeable. We enjoy our visits.

I love this place they have a great selection and are very helpful! I always get my fix here and they have such a cool assortment of collectible figures and such!

Not the comic store for me! I was totally and completely ignored when I walked in and stood around for 10 minutes waiting to buy my items. I finally ended up walking out and going up the street to Samurai. I’ve been collecting for over 20 years and this has never happened to me. From the other reviews, it seems like a great place but I will probably never go there again.

I liked it

Every time I enter the valley I have to stop. This place always has good older books at good prices. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I might only go a few times a year, but they always treat me like a regular.

I called just to ask if they sell magic the gathering cards the guy who answered was a douche sound like he was annoyed just because I asked and said okay bye so I couldn’t ask him anything else. He could have been like, hey we may not have MTG cards but you should come in we got a great selection of items you might be intrested in. What a douche bag.

Great little shop. Little dark and very cramped, but I found stuff I was told would be impossible to find short of ebay as well as small novelty items you usually only find at the conventions.
The staff was great. As a lady in the comic world it’s usually hard to find places that won’t blow you off, but the staff asked what I was looking for, had some good recommendations, and had no problem carrying a solid conversation about other things in the nerd world.
Can’t wait to visit again and pick up the next issues of the series I read.

It’s a great place for old and unusual toys. They had comic books but felt they had more old toys then comics. Their staff was friendly but that place was dark and dusty. Price of the toys were low so if you are looking for unusual Star Wars, Star Trek and other «geeky» toys you should totally visit that shop.

Much like others here, I’ve found Greg’s to be my favorite store around for comics. It’s loaded with back issues and the staff is always extremely helpful. When asking about a specific comic, you don’t get a «point» in the proper direction — they walk over to the section and hunt down your comic with you and if they don’t have it, they offer alternative solutions for you.
On top of the great service, they also have great prices. Most of the time they’re offering lower-​than-​cover-​price deals, which makes buying here a real treat.
To me, Greg’s has a real incentive to make me want to drive the extra distance past some other closer comic shops.

The best place to experience comic book culture. It’s crammed with books, comics, and toys. You have to explore every nook and cranny to see everything they have.
The owner «My name is Howard not Greg» is super friendly and funny. I’m not sure if this is true, but if he likes you and you’re not a doosh, he’ll sell you stuff less than cover price!
I was buying comics when cover prices were 50 cents, so discounts on these $ 4 comics is awesome.
Oh yeah, no one knows about this: Ask to see the HELLBOY mural in the bathroom!

Drove 45 minutes to get here only to find the store hours were incorrect and the store closed. Please update your store hours.

Great comic shop, one of the top ones in the valley. Very good supply of the newest titles and a pretty good supply of back issues. Prices seem reasonable also.

Nice comic books store, not very friendly but have a variety of back issues.

This is the closest comic shop to me albeit still a good 20 minutes away! But well worth the voyages! This is the really the only comic shop left that hasn’t close down for good reason! I went there looking for more of the figures and statues, specifically for star wars. Even though most of the store is riddled with comics upon comics, they still had a great section for figures and such. I think I found about 10 cases or more of purely star wars figures at incredible prices. So many in fact that I had to dig through them for a good 10 minutes. There could have been more cases that were out of sight as well. The service was the best I have seen as it is such a friendly atmosphere with a sale going on all the time. The guy behind the desk would not mind helping out the other customers in looking for specific pieces. Also noticed that they hold newly released stuff (mostly comics) for returning customers to buy. Overall great place and will result in more trips in the future.

This place is great. It’s one of the best comic book shops in the valley.
They are really concentrated on current and back issues of comics. There are a few toys and collectibles in the shop, but the true love is comics, and it really shows. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I have never been treated with disdain for asking questions (even if they are silly or ignorant).
They always have a sale of some sort going on, and it’s really appreciated. If they don’t have something that you want, they order it. I’ve been in there a number of times when a regular has come in, and they’ve had a stack/​box waiting.
Quality place, quality comics, quality dudes.

Unbelievable. This shop is absolutely fantastic!!! The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is great, the back issues are VERY well stocked, and most of all, the prices are LOW. I absolutely love Greg’s Comics. If you are in the East Valley, don’t set up your subscription box service anywhere else. Greg’s is the place to be. No other shop in the East Valley will give you a better deal! My favorite part about this shop (other than the incredible prices and the amazing staff) is the way they display the weekly new issues. Every week, the issues to be released on Wednesday are displayed on a very long buffet table. Many other stores I’ve visited have a ‘new issues’ section, but none are as easy to navigate as Greg’s. I love this shop!
Every Wednesday I look forward to visiting the shop. Some weeks I even head over on tuesday to see what will be releasing the next day!

I always wonder how this place has stayed in business so long. Greg must be loaded and just do this for the passion of it. Last time I came in here the man working gladly helped me find what I needed and ordered what I wanted. He even had them waiting for me when I went in again.
He was also really knowledgeable on his stuff. He wasn’t some breathy creepy neckbeard working in a comic shop. As a girl I’m usually terrified to take the adventure into one of these lion dens to pick up what I want because it can be pretty scary. He was simply a nice old man.
I’ll continue to come here for all of my comic book needs :}
