Great shop. Lots of back issues. Nice selection of ratio variants. Great prices. Super friendly. Im very happy I stopped here. Thank you Secret Lair Comics.

The owner was extremely helpful and the store had many items I was interested in purchasing.

A nice little shop, the owner is very helpful and knows his stuff!

Ive never read comics before but I checked out this store on a whim and the staff was very helpful. They asked me about my interests and helped me find a series that I could get into.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Pretty small selection.

Jerk behind the counter screaming that you arent aloud in the store without a mask. Umm I was getting it from my coat pocket. Yet someone came out without one. Dont have to worry about my business EVER!!!

Awesome place, awesome staff, its a little niche with comics and figures, but exactly my kind of niche. Staff and owner are awesome.

Thats my techer and best comic book store

There are no better comic stores than this. I have traveled to other ones but this one is my main spot to go to. The experience and selection makes this my main stop. Thank you!

Extremely friendly staff, good selection even after COVID shutdown. Will work with you to get what you need and will help both new and old comic fans! Highly recommend.

Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the comic world.Brought him several boxes of classic comics to glance through for value with good recommendations.

I just loved this place. The owner looked over my collection with me for quite some time and shot the breeze about comics. I look forward to shopping here often in the future

Great place to buy comics and collectibles. Owner is very friendly and nice to chat with. A go to for the latest comic.

Its a nice place. A bit small for a really good comic store, and their back issue stock is limited and doesnt cover all that much time in back issues. Still its a good place to keep up on current comics you like.

Great selection and sales person reserved several copies of a comic I had been searching for.

Love love love this place! The staff and the owners are awesome, helpful, and informative. Always full of great information even if I ask a strange question.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I occassionally stop here to pick up my husbands subscription. Be sure and check out local author Chris Barcombs Superior Sam comic books. Great to see a comic shop selling this comic book about disabled children. I am hooked into it.

Always a good time.Reasonably priced back issues, and the most friendly comic shop Ive ever visited.A good atmosphere, extremely helpful staff, engaging customers.I can never wait to come back!

Everyone is really nice. its a great experience great comics. I would recommend this place to anybody interested in comics. Thanks to everyone making this place possible 👾

Helpful staff who is glad to help you pick out new comics or even just get some recommendations.

I love this place! I can find the comics I want and the people are very knowledgeable and friendly. I recently got into comics and they have really helped me become an avid reader.

Update: Great experience each time I visit (normally once a week). I have a subscription box and have purchased off the wall and from the overflow.Friendly staff and very responsive management. Active on social media platforms and email when I have needed something in particular (a variant cover, had a question, looking for something in particular). The staff are knowledgeable and now that I am a regular they have gotten to know my interests and recommend titles from the past and future that I am normally interested in reading.Was encouraged to use Previews to make sure I know what is coming out in the future. I love knowing that I can preorder or subscribe to a comic and know I wont miss it or pay arm and leg for a comic in the aftermarket. With a little pre-planning I can get the comics I like to collect.Overall, I enjoy getting, reading, and collecting comics. This is a great comic store for me to feed my hobby! Thanks for everything.

They used to have diversity in product with board games and hobby product. Mostly comics and action figures now. Great staff.

They had some old Comics I have not seen in years. Very impressed!!! Will deff visit again and again and again!!!!!

Just left this shop empty-handed once again. If you are looking for a particular issue, there is a very good chance it will not be available by Wednesday (weekly comic book release day) afternoon. To avoid this i am constantly told by the owner and employees to set up a subscription with them. That sounds really great! I tried that-however, most of the books they seem to get from the distributor are beat up and are not collector-grade copies. This service is great for the casual reader of comic books-not the collector who cares about the condition of particular books. I cannot comprehend why more copies of popular books are not ordered by this place. There is little point of having a local comic book store if one cannot stop by the day of a certain issues release to pick ot up-only to find that the 3 copies ordered have sold out. Ridiculous. If you are a collector like myself, stick to online stores or make the trip to Atlas in Charlottesville. The drive sucks but at least you are certain to find the books you want. Its perpetual Amateur Hour at the Lair. Nice people, poor management.

Awesome place to get new and back issue comics. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful. Check this place out.

Nicest people. Only place I miss visiting in Harrisonburg. Amazingly kind and helpful staff for a comic newbie like myself.

Good place. Not a lot of backstock but does have a backroom absolutely loaded with low price comics, graphic novels and trade paperbacks at truly great prices

Not much in the way of older books. they seemed pretty overpriced on them. they seem to have a lot more in the way of current issues, so if newer books are your thing you might have better luck than me

I cant say enough positive things about the Secret Lair.Start with the staff. The owner is a tremendous guy who is always helpful in ordering books you want an helping with their subscription service. He has also surrounded himself with some of the friendliest staff you could ask for. I put them to the test on a regular basis; Im constantly adding and dropping books and they are always quick to take care of my needs. I have always felt welcome and satisfied.The Secret Lair has been slowly expanding since it opened. What once was a few walls of current books now boasts a good supply of back issues. And guess what-- theyre all in order! Thats right, unlike some comic shops that will remain nameless (but lets just say theyre in an hour radius of Harrisonburg), searching through back issue boxes isnt like being thrown to the wolves. Then youve got the 50-cent boxes, an ample supply of cheap books that contain some hidden gems.Harrisonburg isnt a huge town, and it means a lot that there is a local comic shop that is so well-run and customer service-oriented. Ive seen some hole-in-the-wall shops in my life, and some behemoths in bigger cities that seemed to big to be bothered with little things like customer service and the personal touch. Not at Secret Lair. Harrisonburg is lucky to have them.

Great comic shop with friendly staff. Current issues as well as back issues. Stop by on Wednesdays for new comics and support your LCS.

Great selection of current and old comics.A great family friendly environment with helpful and frendly employees

This is where to go for great comics! Honest and knowledgeable! Thanks for a great experience

Small shop . never really has what i want, fair prices decent amount of supplies,neat organized.

Very Neat comic shop, really good selection of back issues, prices were really good as well, not to expensive.

Great guys working there, they know there stuff and very helpful

My favorite store in harrisonburg! by far the most down to earth customer service and personable staff I have interacted with

Super awesome! Lots of variety!

If you can recall Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park when he peers into the monitor on the Jeep and states: now, eventually you do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour, right?Take that quote and apply it to comics on release day at Secret Lair; now eventually you do plan to have comics on release day at a comic store, right?This seems to be the case at Secret Lair. Consistently out of release day titles shortly after the store opens. You would believe that such a business would adjust to offset this constant predicament; perhaps order more runs, more titles, more issues, pad the inventory a bit, etc. No. Not Secret Lair, its an anomaly of traditional management, distancing itself from the tried and true business practices of retailers that seek to fulfill the most basic portion of a fruitful economic model; meeting customer demand.If, perchance an issue (yes, singular) happens to get shelved on release day, it is truly an artifact to behold. Seemingly slipped through the space/time continuum and managed to situate itself on the metal rack at Secret Lair. You will notice upon light inspection that it has seen some sights. Its almost like the latest Captain America issue actually fought on the shores of Normandy in World War II with a redeployment to the frontlines of the Pacific to also fight the Japanese at Iwo Jima, only to end up in the shadow of the Secret Lair rack with trench foot and corner dents. No way an American hero should be treated to rot on a rack with a bent spine and apparent exposure to nuclear testing. Or the latest Doctor Strange issue appearing as if it had recently returned from a hellish dimension fighting with demons and battling Tibetan wizardry to finally die among the damaged of the Secret Lair rack. These comics couldnt have just came out of a box I tell myself believing nobody would mistreat comics like this, surely Cyclops came to life and laser beamed off part of the corner of this X-Men comic. Its like these comics come to life, like Indian and the Cupboard but instead of gallivanting around on merry adventures, they are beaten senseless for the cruel amusement of their handlers.I always enter Secret Lair with hopes and promises, like an abused dog that is always happy to see his owner till the neglect of food and affection makes me ball up in the corner wishing for a better life, or in this case, a better comic shop. Instead, I just end up in my study among my dusty comic collection like Orson Welles in Citizen Kane but instead of muttering Rosebud repeatedly to myself, Im muttering the latest issue title of the comic I was unable to purchase. I punctuate it with dropping a half empty double whiskey on rocks instead of a snowglobe.I always say to myself I deserve better than this or maybe they will change. But like the abusive relationship that it is, I stay and everyone else is saying with understanding and an arm on my shoulder get out, they dont love you or just order online, its easier...they ship sturdy.This is my break up letter. Im leaving you Secret Lair. I found something better. Im tired of the tears. Im tired of the neglect. I just want to be happy. I just want release day comics.

Great stuff, nice shop, excellent staff.

Family friendly atmosphere and lots of great comics
