Amazing Comics & Cards

Amazing comics is nice to go to since it’s next to Target, and I always stop by when I go grocery shopping. They usually have what I’m looking for, and I don’t mind browsing until I find a particular comic. The lack of customer service doesnt particularly bother me since I like to be left alone to shop. The only thing that reeeeaaaally bothers me? The staff isnt exactly friendly. I always feel like I interrupted a conversation when all I want to do is buy something. It feels like if you’re not a complete comic expert or regular at the store, you wont earn anything more than a dead expression and simple exchange. I’ve met a few staff members that are cheerful and really nice when you check out, but overall, it sort of makes me wish there was another store as near to me as this one.

It’s in the plaza across CVS. More selection of toys vs comics. They have a good assortment of small busts and pop vinyl. Small trinkets like key chains, paper wallets, pins, rings, and socks also populate most of their display. They have a larger selection of marvel vs DC. You may need help looking for specific comics as they’re shelves are not as organized as one can hope. Enjoy the assortment:)

Great selection of funko pops and some very rare ones near the back. Definitely has a good selection of comics and also a bunch of rare variant issues. Awesome customer service also.

Alright this review will be a bit biased because I had very fond memories of this place when I was younger.
Anyways this places has a fine selection of comics; there was always something of interest for my brother and I to buy and read. Moving on to the card games, I always come here when I’m crafting a MTG deck because they have a decent selection of cards to choose from.
The employees are very friendly and helpful. Just the other day one them (forgot his name) gave me ideas on a deck I building and I thought it was very pleasant to know that an employee actually cares and want to get involved in helping customers (I say this because I’ve haven’t seen this happen to me or others in other card shops I’ve been to).
Overall very great place to buy cards or comics despite the fact parking is often a hassle and the place is pretty small.

Great store. They have a lot of recent comics, books, and rare collectibles/​toys. Their prices are fairly competitive, but from time to time they have sales on comics. Also, the people who work there are not only friendly, but knowledgeable as well.

If you’re looking for toys and collectibles, this is the place. I especially loved their gigantic and well-​organized collection of Funko Pop figures. The selection was insane!

Accidentally bought the wrong size shirt for a friend. Friend took off tag and as I walked into the store I was getting ready for a big drawn out discussion. Person behind the counter saw the shirt in my hand and before I opened my mouth she asked what size I needed, handing me the new one before I was able to even finish a thought.
Super friendly staff that cares about it’s customers. ‘Nuff said.

This store is pretty awesome! They have a really great selection of funko’s, action figures, posters and other cool things and of course se not to mention the comic books! I also really like there stamp card and there pre ordering where you get discount when you put aside a certain amount of comic books. Over all great store definitely check it out! Two thumbs up

Lots of great comic related material, a good selection of cards and card supplies, nice choice of toys and other merchandise. Well organized and fairly easy to find things. What more can I say? Not the best comic book store in the world, but a truly solid 4-​star rating. Lots of variety and good selection of cards as well. Definitely recommended.

The comic shop from my childhood but luckily not my main shop.
I’ll always have a soft spot for amazing comics — it was my childhood comic book shop and you know that shit is sacred. However, comic book shops have changed for the better in the past 10 years and it feels that amazing comics is still somewhat behind the curve. They have a good variety of books and they have an awesome selection of toys and collectibles. The problem is they seem like they don’t order enough books to keep themselves fully stocked. They run out of stuff pretty quickly — and not even good titles either!
The staff here used to be the real versions of the comic book shop guy, Jeff Albertson, from the Simpsons. If you made the mistake of asking a question the best hope you had was just getting ignored. Thankfully the staff is better now, but not enough. It’s kind of a mixed bag — some of the employees can be pretty friendly and others are still stuck in the 90s.
I hope the shop is here forever — I really do appreciate it and they do have an impressive collection. Just be sure you know where a few other comic book shops are around the area and don’t take it too personally if they act really annoyed with you for mixing up the Green Lantern with the Green Arrow. But seriously, you should know the difference.

This is more a merchandise store — not that there’s anything wrong with that! They have a HUGE selection of action figures and POP Vinyls and other character merchandise. My friend is into Green Arrow — a very difficult character to find merchandise — and we saw at least three different figures. I collect Aquaman and they had three very cool «special» figurines plus other action figures and merchandise.
About comics… the current issues are along one wall, back issues are boxed on a very low shelf that are easy to overlook. My friend and I both found elusive back issues so we were thrilled.
Staff was friendly and efficient. I know I’ll be going back — most likely closer to the holidays — to do gift shopping.

This is one of the better Comic Book stores I’ve visited in the Los Angeles area and in the South Bay.
I read reviews about the «service» and, sure, there’s no greetings when you walk through the front door, nor is there any proactive inquiries to offer help… but for me, as a shopper, I sort of enjoy being left alone and not hustled, so if I need anything I ask, if I don’t need anything, it’s nice to not be bothered… so, that’s a «plus» in my book.
I ended up not buying /​purchasing anything the day I visited, which also makes me feel less pressured to buy something/​anything when visiting a store where they seem so casual. From that standpoint, I didn’t ask for any assistance or help, so can’t comment on that aspect of their customer service.
What I liked about this store is that they seemed to have a good diverse variety of:
1) Current Comic Books — very organized.
2) Recent Back Issue Comic Books — incl. a $ 1 and $ 1.99 bin with recent potential treasures and other more expensive back issues. They also carry those «variant» cover releases so popular in the Y2KX generation of this decade of gimmicks marketed by the publishers.
3) Magic cards — ‘tho I don’t play nor understand it, they seemed to carry a lot in a showcase.
4) Action figures and statues — all sorts of characters
5) Collected Editions and TPB (Trade Paperbacks) — They have huge a section where a lot are more than 50% off, including some of the rare «Marvel Masterworks» hardcover (out of print) normally $ 50+, but sold for $ 20, as the store’s best «hidden gem» treasure find for collector’s out there.
6) Archival supplies — bags, boards, boxes, etc.
Plus, they have some non-​sports trading card sets and other things. I even saw some vintage Marvel glassware here.
The only thing missing really missing, which most stores don’t have are the vintage comics from the silver age (or even bronze), which is always nice to see in a comic store, but understandably it’s expensive inventory to carry and collect dust if there’s no customers to buy them, plus they’re not so easy to acquire (at least to good ones at good prices).
I’ve read reviews on this store, some negative. The main comment I’d say for improvement is to get better lighting, as it’s a bit dark and dreary, ‘tho it’s super clean and organized (unlike some comic shops which are cluttered). Better lighting will showcase the merchandise and bring up the energy a bit here. Even the front door seems «unfriendly» (‘tho I do understand the need for tint since their worst enemies are shoplifter/​thieves and sunlight, so that minimizes exposure to both) in that you can’t really tell if it’s open or closed for business, and could use some friendly fung shui to it.
Parking is easy here since it’s in an outdoor mall environment with a huge parking lot.

This place is fantastic! They have a good comic selection but I truly come to this store for their graphic novels. The graphic novels are well priced and I always know they’ll have the one I want. They also have a great statue and toy section. Every time I need a comic related item, I get it here.

Great place to get anything comic related, action figures, trading cards, collectibles, statues ect. I still visit this place from time to time whenever I’m in the area. The place used to be twice as big way back but now metro pcs occupies what used to be the other half :(
I bought the majority of my yugioh card collection from here along with a couple comics, figures, pins and other random goodies. The staff is pretty helpful and polite. Definitely stop by and check em out.

Very pricey, a lot of good items, and no heroclix

Been coming here for years and years and years! My first visit was 1993 when my uncle Tony brought us to buy comic book cards.
Friendly and helpful staff. Wednesday is there most busiest day of the week & they still find a way to help you.

Was in the area today and decided to stop here with a buddy of mines from the Long Beach area.
The old comic book issues are spread throughout the store in random areas. On the floors in each aisle.
Lightening in the store is dark. Maybe there is a reason for this.
You will have to bend down in cramped spaces just to look through the back issue boxes they have here and the lightening is NOT that great, that’s not good if you happen to have back problems.
It’s almost like you need to bring a FLASHLIGHT to see while inside this store. I’m not kidding. I might have to bring in a FLASHLIGHT the next time just to look through the boxes of comics scatter on the floors in each aisle.
Overall, the store is neat and presentable.

Amazing Comics is a store I frequented more as a kid than at present but has always left a lasting impression. Walking in these doors took my breath away with nothing but comics, figures and collectibles in site. Wall to wall this place is filled to the brim with comic books and collectibles of all of our favorite heroes, heroines & villains.
I often frequented this amazing shop looking for rare and hard to find Star Wars figures that I could not get elsewhere. These amongst other collectibles such as Magic The Gathering & Comics always had me eager to come back. Although most of these collections have since come and gone, I still get the same warm and fuzzy feeling inside every time I step through these doors.
As I look back as a collector now, the store itself still has a great variety of options for avid collectors, however the pricing is what does hold them back a bit from reaching the next tier of great comic stores. Unlike other stores around, deals here are often hard to come by. The comics are rarely offered up in discount and the toys are a bit more than other stores I have discovered in recent years. The service provided to me both as a kid and adult here are a bit lackluster as I am rarely asked if I am finding everything or need help finding anything. The workers are usually behind the counter but are not typically quick to assist, at least in my experiences. As a whole this is still a great store (although there are better) and I would recommend checking it and see for yourself if this is the store for you.

I’ve been buying comics, cards, and toys here since I was a kid (so about 12 years or so). When I’d come here as a kid, I was intimidated because the people who ran the shop were rude when you asked a question. I just think it’s because they have to keep an extra close eye on kids who are browsing in the store after school. I remember my friends used to shoplift here so no wonder they didn’t give kids preferential treatment.
It wasn’t till about I was 17 – 18 when the service improved. The short lady with the foreign accent always seems happy to help me out. She physically went to the racks and got it for me. Like my wife says,“You’d be surprised what you can get if you simply ask for it.” A lot of people confuse bad service, with the lack of asking for stuff. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they will order for you.

Not a very good selection when it came to comics, I came to buy some for my son’s birthday and we didn’t have much to choose from.
Staff didn’t greet us at all and never offered to help, when I was ready to purchase it was kind of awkward, like I was interrupting the employee’s social hour (with each other, not a customer).
I found another local comic store and bookmarked it for my future purchases, I don’t think I’ll be back here again.

The place has a good selection. BUT they Overprice the crap outta recent comics. «Hey this one is last weeks issue Why is it 9 dollars ?» «ehh I donno I dont do the pricing» Place is a rip off
