I Like Comics

Clean and comfortable, quiet, and knowledgeable staff. They had everything I was looking for, but one: Steve Rogers issue 1. No surprise I suppose, but they said they were ordering more and gave me a price estimate. Quality items with $.50 comics in the back. Nice location. Will return for Steve Rogers.
EXCELSIOR!

Cleanest comic book store I’ve ever been in with a good atmosphere, a very helpful and kind staff, and a great selection of new and used comics!

Visited the store for the first time earlier this week. The staff was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They have TONS of comics and ‘stuff’ on the shelves. I bet you can’t visit without buying something. IF you like comics, you will LOVE this store.

Bringing life back to downtown Vancouver! With all the new additions here, I Like Comics fits right in and lends further to the versatility to what can be found. I am completely biased so if the owner (s) changed the name to I LOVE COMICS, I wouldn’t be able to fault them. The layout is pretty nice and open. Well lit for your viewing pleasure. Two separate areas, one with the current comics and the other, watch your step up, with older classics to peruse. Don’t be shocked if you are spontaneously pulled into a conversation about a book or two. Jus like food, comics bring all of us different kinfolk together. Amen! Friendly workers and customers interacting, good interesting reads, all can be found riet-​chere! Compendiums, figurines, good times! If you like the movies, you will love the comics! Get you Some;)

I love this store. Friendly staff, great layout, with new and used comics. The new comics are pre-​bagged and boarded which is exceptional.
Contrary to other Unilocal reviews, this store is very clean and has a great atmosphere in a great part of town. Come check it out for yourself; you will not be disappointed.
I am a monthly customer of this store.

I’ve been to other comic book stores but this one… WOW! I was impressed from the moment I walked through the door. I had been looking for this place all my life it seems. When I closed my eyes and pictured a comic book store — this is the environment I always imagined.
I was impressed by the comics, the figurines and the overall welcoming feeling of this place. My cashier was helpful and I even got myself a brand new Reverse Flash ring that opens! It was the last one and I couldn’t be happier!
The man that helped my sister and I was amazing! I didn’t feel like he was trying to sell me anything, I felt like he was there to help share in the experience of finding new awesome items to collect. How many sellers would allow a potential customer to actually touch and inspect figures? This one does!
Trust me guys, he does great business and he cares about the stuff he sells and takes great pride in his shop!

A 5 star rating for a comic book store? I am not a comic book fan. I read them a bit when I was a kid but was done around the time girls became far more attractive to me than the Fantastic 4. I have an 8 year old who recently got into comic books through a friend and he was excited to get some of his own. Never one to discourage reading I was more than happy to take him to a comic book store to pick out some new issues for his perusal. I was surprised at the low number of comic book stores in Vancouver (especially considering the dork to redneck ratio) but I Like Comics is close to my office so my son and I paid them a visit this weekend. The store was large, clean, well lit, fully stocked and I could almost smell the late night Magick the Gathering and/​or Dungeons and Dragons tournaments that have undoubtedly gone on in this location.
Again … I am not a comic book guy but their selection was large and priced for every budget. They had your typical high priced comics under glass, collectible figures, books but what really got my son excited were the boxes and boxes of 50 cent comic books in the back of the store (all categorized by title so you don’t have to search «yard sale style» through boxes of miscellaneous titles to find something you recognize). There were of course many characters we had never heard of but there were also plenty of spiderman, superman, batman (i.e. well known characters) comics available. I gave my son a budget of $ 15 for comic books and he ended up with 17 (YES 17) of them including a comic that he paid $ 6 and immediately put in our wall safe because he is sure it will be worth «big money» one day.
All in all it was a great experience and I am sure we will be back soon. My son is required to read for at least 30 minutes daily and what he used to look at as a chore is now a joy to him and no longer timed as he is reading much more than that on his own. If you like comics or have found yourself complaining about your childrens dependence on electronics why not try a few comic books and see what they think?
Note: the store also has a rack of strictly «family friendly» comics for children and each one of those is also just 50 cents each.

Never thought I would get in to comics but having these wonderful people in the suite next to us has been amazing! I love going in to check out new comics and chat with the staff. :)

I found this shop looking for a birthday gift for a friend. Apparently they had just moved locations and combined two stores together so I don’t know their history but the new place was something else.
Admittedly, I don’t read many comics myself but am a big fan of the genres in general and found myself wandering around for a good 30 minutes looking at all the figures, accessories and toys. For those who do read, there’s stacks and stacks of comics, animated books and more. Very well organized, lots of staff members around chatting, even a couple chairs for people to read a bit I suppose.
Worked out great for getting the gift I needed and a new Han Solo sculpture for myself.
