Such a chill shop. Great selection, lots of cool merch, and the staff was definitely friendly/helpful. Will definitely be going back.
I went in here the other day to kill time and it was great!!! Lots of stuff to look at and everything is organized and even little stuff you would not expect to find are in there. This one lady there was super helpful and helped me find some new Star Wars comics, she even mentioned one I had no idea had come out yet. I will definitely be returning when I get the chance.
Enjoyable shop to enter and look around. Im not really the type to read comics but I do enjoy Marvel and DC.And the shop naturally has artisan work.
Awesome store jam packed with all kinds of goodies. You can find an assortments of single issue comics, paper backs, hard covers, omnibus, and graded issues. A large variety of collectibles including Japanese imports,Marvel Legends, Neca toys, Funko Pops!, and many more ordain the store as well. Definitely an awesome shop.
Tiny shop with a ton to offer. The titles, toys and artwork are very impressive!
Really nice store and great people. I go there a couple times a month if I need something
They are awesome. For 5 years I ha e been looking for a good comic book store as Comics are a very big part of my life and I am very peticular of where I buy my books from. I will be coming back time and time again the selection of not only books but collectibles is amazing.
Best place to find hard to find comics and figures plus they have cool stuff
We drove 45min to your store, to be treated like we were going to steal something. Once we arrive we started looking around and one of the customer service clerks started following us. We went to the back of the store and the clreck was fixing things. We went to the front of the store and the clreck was magically fixing things again close to us. We felt uncomfortable so we left. We wont be back again.
Was great finally found the comics I was looking for!!! Friendly group of workers that assisted with the search thanks again.
Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Large variety of collectible figures here. Lots to look at! Cool place.
Great little shop. Tons of actions figures and pop culture memorabilia.
Its a cool little spot, so far, they manage to keep finding cool stuff for me and my family to enjoy.
Pretty cool shop, lots of fun things to look at
Love Comic Books!Great vibes! Good people and very helpful!
I always find the comics Im looking for, and if not. The owner helps me order them, and then I come to pick it up. I love this place.
Love this place! Not only do they have a great selection of comic books they also have rings of hard to find memorabilia! This will always be my go to place!
We stopped in here with our kids and had a great time looking around. The staff was helpful when we asked questions, but otherwise left us alone to explore. Tons of cool toys and comics.
Awesome vibe in the store and lots to see. Was looking for an item that wasnt carried regularly any longer, but guy running the store had a box of the particular mtg cards in storage and definitely made my whole weekend. Really appreciate you guys!
Great selection of comics and paraphernalia. I hadnt gone to a physical comic store in years and this place made me wonder why I ever thought amazon was a better option. Its just fun to go to a place and look at comics. I will certainly go back.
Friendly and polite, right to the point. Answered all my questions.
Great little store on Main in downtown Mesa. You will find cool fun stuff here you wont find in most stores. Although their prices are reasonable I have to refrain from going totally gaga over their groovy comics and toys!!!
Always a wonderful time. I love this place
Kevin is a good guy! Very helpful and knows his stuff! Always willing to find something that you will like! Also the only place you can find this horror selection!!
My favorite local comic store!
Awesome place. This was my 1st time going there. Ill definitely be back. I highly recommend this place for all your comic book needs.
The owner was so gracious and allowed my affiliation with organization childhelp to set up our toy and backpack Drive. Also they have anything and everything that all of the comic book lovers in my family need and want so Christmas is on lock. Thanks Mike.
Every Wednesday through September is free comicbook day. And this store is only handing out 1 at a time even to my son and his cousins that were buying other comics too. these are free comics that they are trying to withhold as if they are theirs to give. Never coming back. just lost a potential loyal paying customer. there are several others in the area. this is not a problem for me.
Gotham is my go to shop! It is perfect for any collector! I have bought everything from comics, to trades to statues here and they are always in good condition and well priced. On the off chance that a book is damaged the owner always lets me exchange it for another copy. The owner,Kevin, is very helpful. If I ever have questions about a book, he has the answers and if he doesnt he finds out. Whenever I am looking for a certain book all I have to do it give Kevin my list and he tells me if he has them or not. Great shop, great staff, and just an all around great place to be.
The staff was friendly, I was greeted when I walked in asked again when browsing if they could help me find anything. I gave the story a good once over I read another post that had pointed out that a shop named after a DC theme has way more marvel. Im not mad at them for it though. Ive never been much of a DC fan, with the exception of Lobo. New DC is awesome which this shop dose carry. They didnt have the Todd MacFarlane Spiderman#13 understandable, I was able to grab some sweet condition Xmen 5/6/7 drawn by Jim Lee so I was happy. A good hour spent in the store lots if cool things to look at. 9 bucks for three 24 year olds comics in excellent shape.
Very informative..great place I am glad they are still around with everything going on.
The store is awesomeReminds me of a shop I used to go to back in NY as a kid. Definitely will be back
A Ton of comics, and they are knowledgeable about there comics
Nice will go again
Best comic book shop in the valley. Very knowledgeable staff.
My partner and I came to this shop, were so excited to be there. We were looking around, grabbing comics and things as we went. We were going to probably spend about $50 or more. As we were browsing, who I am assuming is the owner, approached us and addresses us very rudely. βYβknow Iβm gonna have to charge you for those comics, I canβt sell them in that conditionβ. My partner had accidentally dropped some comics while I was looking at something. I had no idea. He was very gruff with us, giving us a look, and didnβt even really explain what was going on or what had led up to us having to pay for these books. Had he approached us kindly and let us know we had damaged product, I would have happily paid for my items and the damaged books. But the way he approached us was enough for me to never want to visit this place again. We paid for the damaged items and left. People accidentally drop things, it happens, thatβs why it is an accident. He needed not treat us like delinquents for an accident, as that is how we felt.
I brought some old comics to this store and the owner, Kevin, helped me decide which ones should be graded etc, and then for a small and very fair fee actually listed them on eBay for me. In the end I was promptly paid. Dont waste your time running around looking for the best place to sell your books. Kevin is not only a good guy but he is trustworthy. You cant go wrong at Gotham City . Thanks for everything Kevin!!!! JD
Excellent collection and retro selections
Super cool store with great selection.
Action figure selection was HUGE! Nice staff.
This is the best comic shop in the east valley. Where other places have employees who act very elitist and make you feel unwelcome, Gotham City Comics welcomes you with open arms. I have been going here for years and the folks behind the counters are informative and genuinely enjoyable to chat with. I have found many new comics I had never heard of based on employee recommendations. Their pull lists work beautifully. You can essentially make a list of comics coming out and they will hold them for you. Its like those comic book stores online but with a more friendly human touch. And youre supporting a local business and families at the same time.They have Magic The Gathering tournaments there if that is your bag. They sometimes have a yo-yo group come in and teach you and/or your kid how to do tricks for free.If youre looking for a comic book shop that works hard for and deserves your attention and support look no further than Gotham City Comics.
Gothams owner genuinely loves comics and is very knowledgeable. There is super cool stuff all over the walls. They have every series of comic you could want, as well as a ton of super cool action figures and toys. Love comics? Go to Gotham!
Gotham Comics is the only Comic store that my boyfriend James go to.They are always friendly and quick to help us.James has a box there and our books are always at the counter before we are.Weve always had a good experience any time weve gone in there. Half the time i have to practicality drag James out of there.Anyway, 2 thumbs up to Gotham Comics.
This place is the best. Kevin and all of the staff are excellent. They are knowledgeable and friendly. I maintain a box here with some titles on regular order. Everything is there. Rarely miss an issue and if one is missed, they are quick to order it. They have even signed me up for titles I forgot were coming out because they know Im a Star Wars guy. At one point, I had considered going to another shop because the drive was a little far but I ultimately decided against it. I respect these guys that much.
Its ashame this is the only store in the area. First time here and the dude with long hair behind the counter acted like i was bothering him when i asked a question. Wont be back.
I love Gotham City!! Theyre always friendly n have just what I want!!
Definitely an Awesome spot... bought a patch here...
So wicked good to go back in the shop after two months of apocalyptic self quarantining! Gotham looks great with interior adjustments. Kevin and CJ were all about customer satisfaction! Im going back for NCBD tomorrow!
Lots of stock and helpful workers. Worth stopping by for you collectors items, comics, and cards. Also has a pokestop.
I met and fell in love with my fiance at Gothams board game and Dr Who nights. I cant thank you enough for creating a safe open space to meet geek friends.
Never leave Gotham without a purchase. So much selection and oddities.
1 Star for Location/ease of access.1 Star for Presentation.1 Star for Content/product.1 Star for Customer Support.1 Star for Back Issue/Specialty.10 Stars for shipping capabilities!Had a great experience today - the person working the floor spent a lot of time helping me, was genuinely friendly and knowledgeable. (He also had some friends come in to the store, but he asked them to wait while he spent plenty of time with my wife and I. Super impressed. Walked out with a few comics and two T-shirts. Oh and they ship too. Rarely find that any more. Definitely recommend.
Im done trying to go here. Every time Ive stopped by, they have been closed; even when their posted hours would suggest they were open. Today was the last straw for me. The employee behind the counter was just kicking back, on their phone, while the door was locked.I suggest just going down to Samurai Comics down the road. At least they know how to unlock their doors.
Righteous place. Helpful staff.
I love their selection of comics and cards. Friendly and knowledgeable. However i wont go there to play Magic due to being told I couldnβt play my Sliver Deck as they didnβt allow them to be played there regardless of format. Other than that its a great place to buy comics and cards with friendly service. If they donβt have something youβre looking for they will order it for you which is awesome.
Dude behind the counter (I believe his name was Kevin) was super helpful and incredibly friendly. The store is clean and organized, lots of books/action figures/funko pops, and tons of other things to keep you entertained. I would recommend setting up a pull list here.
This place is awesome if youβre a collector! Always have cool stuff got my trick or treat Chucky doll hereππ
Plain and simple, these guys are the best. You can go buy comics anywhere, but if you are looking for good people, a great environment and fair prices, look no further. There is a reason people are loyal to this shop. Great selection goes without saying. If you need comics or pop culture related gear, go here. End of story.
We went shortly after it opened, yet the employee was very kind & patient. He helped us to find what we were looking for & then gave us plenty of uninterruptable time to look around the store. This is a good place to browse while picking up what you need.
This place is easily the best place to go check out in downtown mesa. Its a great place to check out for comic book lovers or overall fans of that world of amazing fantasy. When I took a date there and she geeked out over a few things with so much detail and enthusiasm that I knew she had to be my girlfriend. And she is so thanks Gotham City Comics Ill continue coming from time to time.
This is a fantastic neighborhood Comic Shop. Clean, nicely laid out, and with a great staff. Every time weve come in theyve been friendly, knowledgeable and greeted us with a smile.They regularly have classes and events. Great figurine collection and LOTS of Funko Pops. We live nowhere near Mesa but when we are in the area we always swing by!
This is a great shop with a lot of different options from old comics to new. They have some collectables if you are looking for something a little more unique. We spent an hour or so just looking through everything and found a few to buy. Great place to stop in for comics!
My dog is sick and I need to sell my comics to help with the vet Bills. His names Loki and he could have prostate cancer and this place really help me out and gave me some much needed cash. Im grateful and will return to give them my money when I can in the future.
π
These guys are really cool. They remembered me from my first visit and again the level of customer was awesome! Justin made sure that all my needs and questions were answered. Will definitely be coming back to Gotham City Comics on a,regular basis. Thanks guys
I love this place. There are so many things to see and find and experience. They have ALL the comic books, and if they dont have something, they will gladly order it for you. They have a gaming area in the back and occasionally host gaming tournaments or just gaming days. They always have something fun and nerdy playing on the TV in the back too, and the collectibles they have around the store are so much fun to look at (and wish you had money for). The staff is super nice and welcoming.
Fun shop!
Excellent knowledge of their stock..thx
This is by far my favorite comic book store Ive ever been to. The owner Miguel is really friendly and helpful. The staff is very knowledgeable. Great atmosphere and even better prices. More than worth the hour long drive past multiple other comic stores.
Awesome place. Staff is very knowledge. Literally the best comic shop in mesa. Probably the best in state. They have toys, collectibles, cards, and much more than comics. It is well worth stopping in. I go once a week.
Shop here all the time. This place is clean and tidy while other comic book shops are dirty.
Interesting items. Great place to browse an d spend some time.... and of course purchase cool things.!!! Because if we only browse and dont buy anything they cant stay in business. Support your small local businesses!
Great staff, comic books, and gaming! I am a semi-regular who enjoys the comic inspired drinks and the atmosphere. On Tuesdays I was a part of a regular D&D session and there is a role-playing group on Wednesdays that I like to stop by and hang-out with as well. Great selection of comic book and knowledgeable staff can help you find the perfect graphic novel or the next in a series. Since the Marvel and DC revamp I have renewed interest in graphic novels, and Gotham Comics either has it in stock or can order it! Love this place!
A good variety of collectables and interesting pieces
Great service, usually amazing selection. Love the availability of local art. Also they have a pretty decent selection of collectible Comics, (Rare, 1st appearances, etc.)Will come back.
First time customer, last time customer.$.20 for a backer and bag for my book I just purchased and this wasnt mentioned until after I had already checked out. None of the other stores in the valley do this. If youre going to charge extra is should be posted somewhere and the staff should ask before I check out. Otherwise great service even if they have a smaller selection. You would think a DC theme named shop would carry DC variants though.
Awesome place to get comics past and up to date
Absolutely love this place! My fiance and I come in here at least once a week even if were not buying anything. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and just plain awesome! They definitely know their comic books plus a lot more and are always ready to give suggestions based on each individual as they take the time to really know their customers on a personal level. I love Gotham and would recommend it for all ages!!
Place was nice. A lot of cool stuff for collectables, and for the kids to look at. But they didnt let my (obviously) pregnant wife use the restroom..
This is my second choice of comic store and they always have what I want. Usually packed and theres lots of unique items.
It is a great place to pick up comics and collectibles. The staff is very helpful and kind.
Great staff and selection! Definitely a must see comic shop in the downtown Mesa area.
Awesome customer service. Willing to go above and beyond. Extremely knowledgeable owner and staff. Highly recommend!
This place is great! Its friendly, clean, and a nice place to hang out. They have chairs and sitting areas to read up on your latest comics. I am a Ninja Turtle comic collector and was able to find some of the earlier issues of the ongoing series; very happy! I will defiantly be back.
This comic shop has a great selection of comic books and related merch. There are also trading card games and pen-and-paper games played on site. The owners are also big fans of Garbage Pail Kids.
I so can not believe that I have not written a review before now! I love this place. Great selection of action figures, comics, and magic cards. Its spacious and very comfortable. But what makes this place really stand out is the customer service, very friendly. We got a chance to talk to the owner and you can tell he really loves what he does.
Hands down, my favorite shop! Owner is super knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly. Great deals too! Priced more than fair compared to other shops.
Great place if you want to spend 20% over retail on terrible selection and inventory. as I was browsing I observed the cashier being condescending and rude to customers who are simply enthused to be inside of a comic book store. It was a uncomfortable experience to say the least
Failrly priced, a lot in stock, fun store to visit.
Great place to get comics and collectibles, I love going in and the staff is super friendly and helpful
Awesome place. The owner is one of the nicest people in all of Mesa
My local store, Gregs Comics (also an awesome shop), didnt have any more issues from the series Im currently reading, so I called Gotham City Comics up and asked them if they did. The attendant was REALLY helpful. When I got there, he had them ready for me and was really friendly. Seems like they have a really good selection, their staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they have a great community environment.
This place was fit for everyone. It is awesome comic book and gaming plus a small coffee bar. Huge selection of comic book, magic cards and action figures. Very comfortable finding what you really want and discovering interesting comics, also they have a friendly staff in helping you find your stuff. I would definitely tell my friends to check out for this place too.
All the comics you need!!
Very fun very nice very local main Street comic book store. I dont visit as often as I used to but when I do its still a pleasant little experience.
