Great store close to the waterfront! Lots of interesting finds - I was able to snag a volume I had been searching for, as well as some gifts for friends. Make sure to get the student discount if you have a valid student ID!

The folks at Memory Lane are truly awesome. Been a customer of theirs since my college days, when they were still at their Market Street location. Theyve always got an awesome stock of comics (more than you could ever want) and collectibles/statues that will look amazing on display in your home.

This store somehow has it all! From graphic novels, to Manga, to current comics, to back issues, to silver age comics, to collectibles and toys. They even have games somehow stuck in their store as well!! They are crazy well stocked! Also, the workers there are very friendly and helpful!

Visited for the first time a few weeks ago from Asheville and loved it. After having a request for some back issues in with one of my local shops for two weeks and not hearing a peep, I placed an online order for the same items w/ Memory this past Tuesday at 2pm, Ive just been notified its been delivered to me in Asheville two days later. You guys rock! Cant wait to visit again when I return to WIlmy. Thanks, yall! :)

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. How friendly and helpful? Well, one of the workers was kind enough to give my son a toy for free and refused to let me pay him for it. Great local business!

Great place they my not have what Im looking for all the time but they have some great stuff

Super clean and organized comic store. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Wow!!! Theyve got everything in this awesome store. Prepare to stay a while, theres so much to see. The staff is great also, and very knowledgeable. And, of course, theyre fans. Dont be surprised if you break your budget for neat stuff, all who enter.

Absolutely love Memory lane! Great selection of comics, manga, figures, and much more. The staff is always super friendly as well! Memory Lane Comics is definitely the best comic store in Wilmington!

This place is awesome! The staff are really kind and helpful. The selection of books is amazing and the figures are even better. If youre a comic book or superhero fan youve got to check this place out!

An amazing selection of action figures, statues and comics with even better prices

Great place to order online to get back issues. As with any comic book store when you order online, the condition of the books arent always know ahead of time. They emailed me on my latest order and told me a book had damage and allowed my to swap it out. This store will definitely continue to get my business.

Wish this comic store was in the Raleigh area. Exceptionally nice staff and very understanding with my toddler. She loved it and said “bye supers” as we left

W.O.W.!!!! We have been Fans of MEMORY LANE COMICS and have followed them to each of thier locations... from thier Quant small 1st location, to thier second more modest but hard to see location, and to finally what seems to be thier Home Now at the 3rd location which was a strong blast from the past with modern times sprinkled on top as you enjoy their spacious location in downtown Wilmington!!!!ABSOLUTELY L.O.V.E THIS STORE!!!!

I have picked up so many highly-desired, hard-to-find, latest and greatest Transformers collectibles here that they seem to have the highest-quality available versions of in droves. But the best thing about this place; they are my queer fam. They have an entire section of queer Asian graphic novels that were life-changing for me. They also hold bookclubs to discuss queer comics. If I could be in here every day I would, but I live over 100 mi away. I always make it a point to come visit here whenever I’m in town. Love them to death. Wish them all the continued success that they deserve, which is all of it.❤️❤️❤️

My daughter and I always visit Memory Lane whenever we are downtown. The store is top notch and always has what we are looking for and more. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere for the inner-geek in all of us. Keep up the great work! Definitely a Wilmington treasure!

Enjoyed stopping here to pick up some graphic novels and just looking around. The staff was friendly and the prices were good. Support your local comic stores vs buying online.

Great comic book store, has plenty of Manga and collectibles

I came here on a whim and boy was I glad I did. As soon as I walked in I was super impressed with the space. Theres a wide variety of single issues and trades and so many action figures. There is a manga section as well. I was helped by a young lady there who had noticed I was freshly tattooed and so we started discussing tattoos and anime and even video games among other things. I didnt get her name but she was very kind and I had a great conversation with her. She made me feel welcome as a new comic/manga reader. If you are at all interested in comics or manga, you need to visit this store. I am from out of town but Memory Lane made me wish I wasnt. The next time Im in Wilmington, I will most definitely visit again. Thanks again!

This place was awesome had some of everything... If you love Marvel its a must stop.

This is a cozy little nook of pure happiness! The people are extremely nice and so helpful. Everything is well organized and easy to find. Even if you know nothing about comics, they will still help you find something you will enjoy!

Memory Lane Comics is absolutely the premier destination for comics fans in Wilmington. With an excellent selection of both comics and collectibles, you’d be hard pressed to not find what you’re looking for in store. The quality that truly puts Memory Lane at the top of the list though is their staff. Every member of their team goes above and beyond to ensure you find everything you need all while answering any questions you may have. They’ve earned a customer for life.

The staff here is just amazing! They are very community oriented, but also full of nerdy knowledge! Especially with all of the health concerns during Covid-19, these guys have gone above and beyond to keep their doors open to their loyal customers.There is a great selection of comics in this store for both kids and adults, as well as back issues, collectibles, and original art from local artists. Best comic shop in town!

Quite possibly the greatest comic book store in the world! I have been to a lot of stores over the years and around the country and no place has the balance of books, toys and general pop culture greatness like this place does! This became the only shop in Wilmington for me for anything comic related from my very first visit. This store doesnt have just customers... It has a fanbase!

Very neatly organized and a super cool interior. The actual building is quite small but its filled with great treasures.

Very nice shop, they have new and old comics, cgc comics, toys and ton of other stuff.

Wonderful place! Enjoyed every second in there. A place for all type of comic book fan whether youre a major fan or just an average fan.The staff was so helpful and informative on what was what with each item and really did a good job teaching the history behind some of the comics I asked about.

I really love this place and Im excited to see their local releases soon! Ofc it would be nice if the space itself was larger but 1 Ive never walked into a comic store that didnt have the ambiance of organized clutter but also its in downtown so its like smack in the middle of the fun stuff to do see and eat in Wilmington

Fantastic shop for comics and collectibles! Great selection of items...if you are a collector and admirer of all things nerd this place is for you!

They are amazing great prices and are also helping ups find new comics books to read.

Always a cool place to get your collectibles! Staff is always very friendly!

Great comic book store & its located right downtown, instead of somewhere like like in mayfair or in the middle of university landing or Ogden or Castle Hayne or near wrightsville or Carolina beach!!! 😎

If I can rate this a 20 star I definitely would ! I love this place. Its something I always wanted when I was younger. They sell Hot Toys, Neca, X-plus, Black Series, Marvel Legends, McFarland DC Figures, S.H Figurearts, Funko Pops you name it ! Comics have been growing on to me like The Last Ronin, alien and even Godzilla Comics ! All recommended by the staff members and each recommened comic has been a mind blowing series ! Staff is amazing. Always friendly, ready to help you out and do what they can to get what you want !

The best 👑 comic shop EVER. Jake, Ben, Ace, Eric, and the rest of the crew make you feel welcome and like youre family. And the always have the coolest stuff! And, theyre in beautiful downtown historical Wilmington! Visit, be a tourist, shop, eat, and BUY COMICS and other cool stuff. Youll ❤ being a A Laner!

Awesome shop with fantastic staff. I stop in every year on vacation and always look forward to it.

I’ve been shopping here for a little less than three years and the staff are phenomenal. They’re extremely accommodating and friendly, not to mention the fantastic selection they have available for comic lovers!!

Excellent store with a lot of hard to find titles. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Great experience and customer service.

Great place to shop for new and old comics and staff very knowledgeable and helpful in many ways. My son loved the place and definitely worth the 2 hr drive.

Like so many others, I am someone who has always been interested in comics but has dealt with what seems like sensory overload when trying to figure how and where to start. I have made two trips to this wonderful shop now and it embodies the vast and welcoming comics community in all of the best ways. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. All questions I’ve had have been answered with kindness and the staff have gone out of their way to give me suggestions based on the limited amount that I’ve read so far. I could not recommend this shop more!

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great selection of manga books for young readers.

Superb comic book shop that is aptly named. It reminds me of the best ones of my youth in the 90s. Its clean, smells like comics, and is well-stocked. I genuinely love this place.The back issue comics are immense in number, in great condition (I saw nothing under VF+), and DOUBLE-TAKINGLY (is that a word?) low-priced. And I mean that in the best way: these people arent trying to rip you off--theyre trying to help you build your collection up.Theres also loads of collecting supplies like bags and boards and boxes... tons of graphic novels, manga, toys, figures, POP! figures, trading cards... all the goods.Check them out. Seriously. The guys who run it are brothers, and along with their staff, are really good people. Really cool people. Theyre one of us. Theyre there for the same reason as us--comics--they just happen to work there too.

A little bit of everything if you are into comics and collectable toys ! They got funko pops !

My favorite place to let my nerd out.Comics, posables, figurines, statues, books and more.One of my favorite shops in Wilmington!

Incredible selection, friendly staff. Doesnt matter if youre an expert or a comics newbie, they can help you find your next favorite title! Also an insane selection of Pop vinyls and figurines.

I go to these guys for all my comic, hot toy, and manga needs. They’re knowledgeable and eager to help.

Staff is awesome, they are helpful and also willing to chat. They make sure to always wear their masks as well as making sure others abide by this too. The store is stocked with all kinds of nerdery and they surely have whatever you are looking for.

Memory Lane Comics is the best shop in town! Get your dose of new comic releases every Wednesday. Collect Funko PoPs? Theyve got you covered! Collect action figures? Theyve got you covered! Enjoy board games? Yep they have those too! Wait, you wanna build a Gundam? Yeah they totally have Gundam kits also! So yeah, they have cool stuff for everyone. Could it get any better? Well yeah, the whole crew is super knowledgeable in all things nerdy, and will have great suggestions for any type of reader/collector. Do yourself a favor and swing by this awesome shop! Dont forget there is free parking for an hour in the parking deck right behind them. Included a few pictures of stuff Ive gotten from this incredible spot.

Great comic book store! Found some awesome limited and special edition funko pops here and a great selection of comics. Even searched through a bucket of dice until I got a set that looked like the infinity stones. Great atmosphere too!

I ordered a set of comics from Memory Lane Comics through ebay. Didnt expect anything other than what I ordered. It arrived TWO DAYS EARLY, and it included 7 EXTRA comics that i needed, and 2 SIGNED issues.I called to thank them and Eric, who shipped my order explained the story of the signed issues. Eric was super polite and will have my future buisness. Thank you for being so helpful and polite.

Amazing service + the girl with the green hair was fab! Ive been to tons of comic stores over the past 6+ years looking for specific stuff and she was the first person to actually act like she WANTED to help. She was so fun and helpful and was great with my 6 year old asking a billion questions. Would definitely recommend!

Came here today on a Sunday for my first time and what a great experience, Ace & Shawn (I believe) were very friendly and informative we will def be back. Great prices also 👍👍

Best comic store on the east coast!!

Nice staff and big selection

Memory Lane has been my go to shop since i was introduced by a friend. We make a monthly trip to pickup new and reserved comics and the staff not only remembers us but cares about what we read and look for.If you are looking for a place to get your comics, manga, etc etc then remember to support your local shop and visit memory lane. Hands down the best in ENC.

Great staff, from comics to games and figures, theres a lot to choose from.

Great comic book store. Great selection, even better customer service. Shop local.

Do it Downtown with Memory Lane Comics. Very knowledgeable And Friendly staff.

We spent a ton of time in this store. The products are interesting & customer service was excellent

Great place to get comics. From the very new to the very old. Something for everyone. They can even send ur comics to get graded for a fee. Which is industry standard depending on the value of the comics

Great place to buy comics and popular figures from

Always feel welcomed when visiting this place. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

Great selection for everyone, both young and old! Staff was very helpful.

Great selection!! Friendly Service!! A+++

Nice place good prices. Found what I was looking for at a great price.

This has been my comic shop for 30 years now, since 1989. Throughout all the owners since, Jake and Ben are by far the best, and have taken the shop to new heights. They know how to take care of their customers, and foster a relationship that leads to long term business.The downtown location has a great vibe, and easy access with a parking deck next door. A wide assortment of comics, toys and collectibles await you inside, at reasonable current market prices.The entire staff are friendly and welcoming, and the store has become a place to not only shop, but to visit and socialize with friends.

Very friendly staff. Great selection of comics.

Best group of people ever...if you havent you must visit

I stopped by Memory Lane Comics a few weeks ago for the first time and was instantly blown away by how clean, organized, and well lit the store was.The knowledgeable staff helped me pick out a Batman graphic novel since I’ve been out of the loop for a while and also special ordered a different one in hard cover. They called to let me know it had arrived and when I went to pick it up the following week, I was super impressed they remembered me and had it in hand when I walked up to the register. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend.

Just need better gundam but great staff

Awesome selection no matter what you are into! Awesome service!! Happy customer right here and my three children and husband!!

Really cool shop lots of comics and statues. Super excited about the new additions to my collection.

The best Comic Book shop in the Wilmington area! The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. As a female I feel very comfortable going in here, (unlike other shops in town.) I did not grow up reading comics, but started going in because of my husband. They have more than just comics. Jake, Ben and Eric have been great at helping me find something special for my husbands birthday. They offer lots of activities to get people involved( board games, book club- I know there are many more I just check out their Facebook page.) They have even made suggestions for book series that I now enjoy reading. Plus, they were helpful in finding books for my 6 year old nephew, who now is very excited to read. ( Isnt this a goal, get kids reading?) They are easy to work with for subscriptions, and we enjoy going in each week to see whats in the box. Simply, just good people!!

Cool little comic shop downtown. The staff was very pleasant.

My family loves this place. They have comics, toys, even skateboard decks! Something for everyone and the staff is super friendly and always helpful.

Great store! I usually go to comic stores to buy back issues, and they had a decent selection. What really sets this store over the top is the customer service. After finding numerous comics I wanted, the worker there proceeded to give me a generous discount, even though this was just my first time shopping there. The discount was so good that I went back in and bought more comics! Highly recommend!

Great store! They have hot toys, funko pops, action figures, cards, statues, comics and lots of cool stuff. Staff was very nice and welcoming as well.

One of my favorite things to do in other cities is check out local comic shops. Memory Lane is a great little store in downtown Wilmington. They have a wide range of merchandise to choose from and the store owners seemed friendly. I talked to one of them (Ben, I think) for several minutes. I bought a used trade before leaving, because I believe in supporting good shops.

Super friendly staff. We were in several times while in the area. Check with the staff - there are different activities going on almost every night of the week (board games, Magic the Gathering, etc.). Reasonable prices on everything and theyre willing to help you find what you need - or recommend a game based on previous things youve played.

I love Memory Lane Comics! The best service everyone is so helpful! My son and i are obsessed! Love.

Ive been a long time customer of Memory Lane Comics. I have always been greatly satisfied with the service the entire team provides especially owners Jake and Ben. For example, on a day the store was closed I happened to walked into Jake in front of his store. He opened the store just for me so that I could get some books. This is very characteristics of the kind of service one can expect at Memory Lane Comics.

Friendly staff and clean store! Would definitely recommend.
