I just went there this past Saturday the 4th for free Comic Book Day this is my first day going and I was in the Santa Monica area so I decided to go to the comic book shop when I got there the store looked really good a goos variety of comics and collectibles, so I went to the counter and spoke to the salesperson and ask where are the Walking Dead comics are and he just points over there in a very rude way so I went to look for myself I found the comics i want it then went to look for the free comics. I found what I wanted but I wouldnt come back to store only one person was nice and helped me look for what I needed I think good customer service should be me what are the first priorities in a business no matter what kind of business do you have thank you treat a customer just like any other customer no matter how they look

Awesome comic store. They have a large selection of current titles as well as a huge selection of older ones. I spent a good hour or so going through the shelves there. they also have figures and art books too. Its a great place to play and buy magic the gathering. They have drafts and events every week and have top ten (in the state) players go there too. I played with the number 4 ranked guy a few weeks ago and he even helped me with my deck and gave me some really awesome tips and advice. I was able to trade in some cards and got some great store credit (you can also trade in for cash as well). They sell singles, boosters, fat packs, sleeves and deck boxes. Love this store!

I finally decided to go to Hi de Ho comics today. When I arrived there its said 7 days a week "open" , but when I went to the door was locked. When I called the store standing right outside i asked "are you open today?" but they said no. They said they were usually open on Sundays but not today. When I asked if they would be open at all their only reply was " UhhhI dont know." One thing I know is that I wont be using this comic store again. For a better store. Try the Comics store on Washington in venice.

This place is nice but needs to be more organized with their back issues. If you are looking for anything in particular that is more than a month old, good luck finding it. They do have a hug selection of comics, but it doesnt help you if they cant tell you where to look. The customer service is very friendly aside from that fact. If you are new to comics or what to just kill time trying to see if you can find anything in their back issue I would recommend this place.

I used to buy my comics here in the 80s. They moved to a new location a year ago but everything is disorganized and hard to find. Comics all over in open boxes. I was told they are in the process of remodeling but really hard to find things unless you have hours to browse around. I suggest other better comic locations in LA until remodeling finished. Watch out for parking outside. You will get a $75 ticket for being 1 minute over meter. Price of being in Santa Monica.

I have 2 problems with this store that makes me say if you can go anywhere else then do it. The web says they close at 9pm on a saturday but when I showed up at 8 they were already closed. I bought a comic here that was already bagged and boarded but when I got it home and took it out thats when I noticed the back cover of the book was folded up in several places. Thats 2 strikes from me. There wont be a third.

The store is a nice place to play magic but one of my complaints is that I sold some cards their and they gave me about half the value for some cards like "Kozilek" and "Drana". The comics are in meh not terrible condition. The events are fun and I often play FNM there but I do say that they do need to give the seller of the cards there fair amount.

Played magic here a few times, plenty of seating, super friendly staff and players. Draft winnings can be applied to your next draft ("infinite" draft) which is the only store in LA that does this (that Im aware of). I sold a bunch of cards to the store and got a good deal. Trustworthy people.

Im no expert on MtG pricing, but they seemed fair to me for a brick and mortar. Lots of comics and figures. Seemed to be quite a few locals coming and going with some gaming sessions happening.

Friendly staff, great interior, well organized. I came in looking for a specific book and found it right away and was out in under 5 minutes. Next time I will make sure to browse for a while.

a bit overpriced. bigger is not always better. maybe its the neighborhood (high rent district and all those yuppies). service is good, but with the prices it has to be.

I been going here for about two years! This place has changed a lot!! They made a lot of improvements! The staff is great and always willing to help you out

By far the best and oldest comic book store around. Great selection, awesome team. Just a perfect place for comic lovers. A must see if youre around!

Ive been going to Hi De Ho for years. Its one of those places that grows on you. Sure its a bit of a mess sometimes, but arent all the best places?

one of the last comic book stores still standing... pretty awesome selection... but unfriendly, not-too-helpful staff means mediocre rating...

Has changed hands and location from back in the day but its historic and has been there for 50yrs not quite what it was in its Glory days.

Melanie Galuten

Old school great comic store. Used to be at different location for years. Its an institution. They have fun events here.

Extremely knowledgeable staff. Knew exactly what obscure graphic novel I was talking about from the 90s.
