Excellent comic shop in San Marcos. My husband, prior to his death, was a frequent customer, and he had a large comic and Star Wars collection. I almost never go to SM anymore bc it is a mental health trigger for me, but this time I did, and Brian and Diane were incredibly kind and helpful in buying back the items.

I have been try to find small comic stores around my town, but there are none, So I found this store about 2 hours from home and it is the best one I have been too. Found comics that I needed for my collection and the staff was very helpful. Will be going back soon

This lady and her husband are unbelievable!!! Would not recommend giving these people your money. I just asked some questions about what she has in inventory so I don’t drive 40 minutes for no reason. She proceeded with 15 seconds of silence followed by “i have people at the register, bye.”

A great comic book store. I have been buying books there since July of 2012 and every time I return, I am always felt welcomed. The owners are so easy to get along with. They have all the current comic book issues and large amount of back issues. Toys, shirts and statues are also sold there. Stop by and I promise, you will return.

This place is Awesome in San Marcos. I take my Son there all the time. They have a great Christmas collection of comics and collables. The Owner is always there and can answer all your questions. Really a Gem in San Marcos Texas.

While I do buy comics and cards from Comic Relief, I mainly go there because the owners are just really good people. Ive been shopping there off and on for over a decade, and even when I didnt go in there for a couple of years (family), they still remembered me when I started going back again. They keep their product mix changing with the times and offer a great assortment for collectors to pick from. I wish they kept more older comics and cards in stock, but the reality is they sell most of that more collectible stuff pretty quickly because of other collectors who like going there haha! Just great people running a great local business

This is a great comic and collectibles shop. I visit when ever I am in town. They have new comics, back issues, vintage toys, card games, and more. The owners are very nice and extremely helpful. The prices are fair as marked, and there is some room for negotiation if you are buying several items. This would be my comic shop if I lived locally.

Review №44

If you have never been to this shop you need to go. They have something for literally everyone. Comics, anime, football cards, baseball cards, and tons of star wars stuff. There prices were great on everything we checked (the only thing I have no knowledge about is baseball cards but with everything else priced well Im sure they are too). We are actually from San Antonio but I would be willing to drive up there every two weeks or so thats how good they were. Make sure you check this place out as soon as you can!

Review №47

Came in today to support a local card shop and buy some vintage baseball cards. As soon as someone else comes in talking about spending money but have no idea about collectibles I get completely ignored. You lost a customer. Do yourself a favor and pay half price online!

Made a quick stop looking for a certain comic that three others stores in the area did not have. A great little mom and pop store friendly and very helpful.

Review №52

The first I came in, the sales associate was incredibly helpful. I liked the shop, and was pleased in the MTG selection. The second time I came in, there was a lady working that was incredibly rude to my son and I. Maybe she doesnt like kids. I was prepared to spend money, but felt pressured to leave and embarrassed. I called to speak with her about it and she abruptly hung up the phone on me. Ive never been treated sho rudely. So surprising to have this happen at a local comic book store.

Diane and company run a fantastic shop. Very knowledable and provide excellent customer service. They have basically everything that comes out everyweek from the big 2 and some of the smaller publishers. Have a nice selection of back issues, collectibles, and trades. I moved my pull list to this shop from a shop in Austin and Ive never have had a problem with missing issues. Also, if you are looking for something they dont have, they try their best to get it for you. Definitely get this place a shot if youre into comics/collectibles.

I love the atmosphere and the selection of cool things besides comics such as the art prints and collectibles but Ive been waiting over a month now to receive my omnibus so I would recommend if you have to order something from them to just do it yourself on amazon you will probably receive In half the time if it wouldnt have been over a month and still waiting itd be 5 stars but i payed 82 and still havent seen anything to show for it
