Don't get me wrong, it's a business. Still felt welcoming though. Pros: I felt like I was in any other comic shop that has multiple locations in a metro. Good selection of current runs. The customer service was great and the atmosphere/music was right up my alley. Nice selection of collectibles. Cons: Pricey on the back issues for my liking, even though the selection was good. That was my primary reason for my visit, try to find another local-ish shop for back issues. Still in the process of getting back issues out on the sales floor, selection was limited. I know that will be remedied in time but I'd still give a 3/5 for the pricing on back issues. If they decide to tier the prices of back issues, (like most shops I've been in) I'll adjust to 4/5 stars.

Great store and good selection, but rude employee tonight. No hi or thank you for our purchase. Zero interaction with my family. Pretty poor practice, and definitely doesnt make us want to drive an hour to come here next time.

This is my local comic shop. They have a great selection and will order what isn’t in store. The staff is always great to interact with. They offer a deal on subscriptions which is great as well.

Not ony is this spot beautiful, it's efficiently organized and staffed by people that know comics and understand the culture. Please support this comic book store if you're in the area. Their title selection is great and they have toys set at accessible prices as well as collectors pieces.

The BEST selection of children’s graphic novels—amazing! Love taking my kids with me when I stop by Ultimate Comics. Staff swift to order requested titles and even remembered what volume I needed! 10/10

Great place! Lots of current & back issue comics. I dont trust a comic place that doesn't sell boards & bags for your books, and this place won't let you down!

Great assortment of TPB comics and a friendly staff. I definitely recommend visiting and supporting this local business
