Comics-N-Stuff

Another location of Comics-​N-​Stuff. This one located in the Grossmont Shopping Center mall near the movie theater. It is between Cold Stone and Panera’s. The location used to be a men’s clothing store back in the day. Very easy to find.
First, the low point. Very similar to a lot of the other Comic-​N-​Stuff locations. A lot of flash but little substance as far as back issues. No key issues to find here; not even minor ones. Look liked they were picked clean. You are better off going to the El Cajon Comics-​N-​Stuff for any back issues.
The high points. They do have graphic novels like crazy. The largest I have seen. A section dedicated to Deadpool. Which I found cool. The service was also friendly and engaging. The guy behind the counter was telling me about a possible table top gaming area in the works. Which interested me. I could see my gaming group coming here and playing a game or two.
The overall store was decent. I can see myself coming again and buying some of the newer issues. Maybe playing some games if the gaming area gets developed. Not a bad store.

I have a few shops that I pull from for all my books but this is the one with my biggest list. The staff always pulls books for me based on what they think I will like and there’s never pressure to buy something I don’t want. This has allowed me to get some really rad variants that have sold out quickly. Sometimes there are too many people in there for the staff to help but they certainly try. I’m only giving 4 stars because I hate the center island right when you walk in. I’ve been there plenty of times but I still almost walk into it each time. It’s kind of an eyesore that can probably be better situated to draw more people in without being in the way. Overall, I like this shop and the convenient location.

Lots of cool stuff inside, like a nerd paradise. Board games, figures, cards etc. (and ofc TONS of comics) Serving to popular fandoms as well as a few unique posters and artwork to choose from.
Why 3 stars? Because many things were overpriced and the staff weren’t friendly towards me at all, you can get cheaper stuff at some booths at conventions (and that’s saying something). Think of it like a big ass booth at comic con, they got so much cool stuff but they will charge as much as possible because you really want that (insert fandom) merch and you want it now. Also all the comics and graphic novels are sealed so you can’t really get a peek to see if it’s what you want.
What really did it in for me was the entire time I was in the store I was being cautiously watched by the staff (I think corporate peeps were in the store) and whoever rang me up didn’t look at me and didn’t reply when I tried to ask some questions about the store like I was wasting his time or something, that isn’t just rude it’s inconsiderate. Typical corporate crony. Nerd stores should consider that their customer base might have more socially awkward customers and they should try to be more welcoming rather than being stiffs.
Meh if you really want nerd stuff (or you really want that one issue of whatever) and don’t know how to use the Interwebs to find stuff (for much cheaper) then I guess you should check it out? The music playing was really good at least. Otherwise, there’s always amazon or Crazy Fred’s ^~^/
