Has a wide variety of comics to choose from. They even have a few classics like«Te Thanos Quest» and the staff has deep knowledge of what would be a fit for what you are looking for.

Clearly the focus here is more on games than on comics. Comic section is mostly current releases, flanked by a small back issue section; there are some interesting rare titles under glass. The back room plays host to most of the activity and traffic through Comic Asylum – and the staff is many times too busy with the gaming crowd to field questions from the book nerds. I understand the business is probably driven by the game nerds – but maybe it’s time to amend the store name to include this activity?
Two bad experiences at one store. Not coming back. First time just came to browse and was mocked because some comic snob didn’t like #TheWalkingDead comic. Two years later returned to purchase latest issue of TWD and the cashier refused my card payment due to minimum charge policy. No problem but the way he acted when I handed the card was refuse to touch it and talk down to me. He didn’t even say goodbye.

Good spot! Lots of comics, back issues tend to be of the graphic novel or TPB variety. Very knowledgeable staff who didn’t mind engaging in a detailed exposition of a particular Hellblazer story arc I was looking for. All in all I trek out here if I need a specific current variant or mainstream compilation in a pinch. They also have a ridiculous variety of card-based gaming setups and collectibles holy crap.

I consider myself a comic book shop snob! It’s honestly hard to find a good comic book shop anymore! And, Comic Asylum is a good comic book shop! The staff is friendly and will answer any and all questions you have without acting annoyed or disinterested in what you have to say. That’s always a plus! I did noticed that the store caters a lot to the card battling crowd and table rpg gamers, which I can understand because they both bring in crowds and will end up spending more money on merchandise! So, the comic selection isn’t the largest I’ve seen especially compared to stores like Titan Comics or Long Star Comics, but it’s a small store so you can’t expect them to carry everything! They do have a large selection of graphic novels and a 50% off graphic novel bin-which is heaven!!! Overall, this is a cool hangout spot to talk about comics and games without feeling nerdy or pressured to buy some random crap. What would make it cooler? More independent titles!

These guys recently moved across the street from their previous location and increased their space significantly. They’re a comic book and tabletop gaming store. They’ve got a decent good selection of both and their employees are pretty helpful. Their trading card singles selection could be a bit better organized and displayed, but what they’ve got is more than adequate. They have a few jerks that frequent the store, but it’s hard to fault them for their clientele.

After driving past this place many times and always saying I was going to stop by one day, I finally decided to visit. The actually moved recently, the new location is across from the old one. The have a good selection of TPB’s, one side Marvel and the other Side DC. They of course have regular comic books, not just stuff from the big two, but from smaller publishers as well. Staff is of course knowledgeable, then again I don’t think there’s anyone who works at a comic book shop who isn’t themselves a huge fan. The guys here are really helpful, and have no problem answering questions or making recommendations. I also managed to get a copy of Final Crisis here which no one else seemed to carry. Large portion of the back of the store is dedicated to RPG’s, card games, and dice games. They also have a small selection of toys, and others odds and ends.
