Comic Central is a very nice shop, the staff are excellent, very helpful and professional. I stop in 1-2 times per month and they always greet me by name, which IMHO shows excellent customer service. Very nice selection of new comics, graphic novels and about 20 boxes of old books available. Lots of statues, figures, Hot Toys, Sideshow figures, Pop figures and other collectables. And I know that if a customer is looking for something, they would do their best to help. Well worth the trip if you live in any nearby area. One review states " They told me I couldnt read a book in the store" well yea ! Its a comic shop, not a library - how would you feel if you went to buy your favorite issue and someone else had read it and bent pages, ect ? Side note: Some customers today seem to think that they can walk into any store, act in any manner they want to and expect the store owner/staff to treat them with the best customer service. IMO this is NOT true, if you act like an A$$ and are disrespecting the staff, why should they treat you like a respected customer ? That is in fact treating their other customers with disrespect because then the person is disrupting the good customers shopping experience.

Ive been to a few comic shops in my time, and even if this store is not the closest to me, I always go here because of the friendly, knowledgeable staff. They have a nice assortment of Sideshow figures and other collectibles too. If you cannot find what you want, they can get you just about any title of you ask. I had stopped collecting comics for a while, but since visiting this shop after a friend introduced me to it, I have since gotten back into it. The great staff at Comic Central definitely had a hand in giving me back my comic book obsession! LOL I am not a hardcore collector that knows ALL the stories in all universes and reboots, and they are more than happy to explain things and help you find new titles that you might like based on your reading history. As an artist myself, I have a thing for really good art, and they usually point me in the right direction. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone, even casual readers! :)

Ive been going in here for a couple years as an irregular customer. I dont collect single issues anymore but I do love the statues and pop figures selection. Ive never had any problems with the staff, theyve always been super chill and helpful. I remember sometime about a year or so ago I went in for something and ended up chatting with guy behind the counter about the death of wolverine. It was fun and he was super cool. Like I said theyve never bothered me. I know some people may not understand this but unless a comic store has a seating section youre generally not allowed to sit there and read and they will ask you to stop. If they dont you could just sit there and read everything they had and not buy anything. TL;DR Cool staff, good selections of merchandise, recent comic issues and not a huge selection of trades but they have a lot of the good ones :)

The one time I went into this shop looking for a specific book, it was during my lunch hour at work and I happened to be the only customer in there at the time. The guy working there was completely uninterested in helping me until I finally asked, and then came off as a jerk because I came in asking for an issue of The Cape and did not expressly ask for The Cape: 1969. Wasnt a horrible experience, but the guy definitely came off like the snobby comic book guy from The Simpsons and made me feel like an idiot. Bottom line? Its a nice shop that fills a need for an Alternative to Coliseum in the nearby Town Center mall, but the employee I dealt with left much to be desired and there are just too many shops in the area with great staff (such as ACME in Longwood or A Comic Shop near Full Sail) for anyone to patronize a shop like this with unhelpful staff.

Told me I couldnt READ in a BOOK store, then when me and a friend left, one of them walked outside and said "Thanks!" in a super rude tone of voice. Wasnt even reading, was looking at illustrations of a character I like to compare to my own personal drawings. I will never go back here again. Super rude staff, super unhelpful, and didnt know how to do business. Edit for reply: I dont care how you perceived the look I gave. I gave a puzzled look, not a disgusted one. Ive been in plenty of comic stores and not one has ever acted like you did. Yeah, how DARE I say something isnt cool and that I wont be coming back. I could act like the worlds biggest jerk to an employee but that doesnt mean for one second that the employee can be rude back, and provide poor customer service, and that is why I gave one star.

Comic Central is a great comic shop and the staff is very helpful. The fact that they dont have a minimum number to set up subscriptions made my life so much easier as many of the comics I read are not monthly releases (like the Street Fighter and Darkstalkers comics by Udon). Another great thing about this shop is they do sales and discounts pretty regularly and Ive definitely made some additional purchases over the years (the Black Friday sale on trades is awesome). Simply a great comic shop without all the annoyances of the bigger chain stores. This is the only comic shop I visit.

Fantastic store with by far the best selection of new comics in town. I have worked here since open and love the place dearly. On top of the great new comic selection we have a decent back issue selection and will gladly try to help get you books we may not currently have in our back issues. A nice clean store with plenty of great graphic novels and a great staff to offer recommendations as well as plenty of toys, statues and other various collectibles. Please come in and see for yourself. We also carry trading card games James so if you are ever in and dont see them please just ask.

Awesome staff. Friendly,engaging and knowledgeable. All about comics and graphic novels. Good assortment of toys also. A comic shop you can bring your family to. My 10 yr old son and 7 yr old daughter love coming with me. Even my wife likes it. Great location near other shopping. Best comic book store in the area. I drive 40 minutes past other shops just to go there.

Been going to Comic Central for a few years now, started as an occasional customer and now Im a regular with a subscription. The staff is amazing and helpful. Knowledgeable about release dates for upcoming products and go out of there way to special order something if need be. Of the all comics shops Ive visited, this one is by far the best.

One of the best comic shops in central Florida. They have an incredible selection of funko pop toys. I appreciate the friendly greetings from all the staff. They work hard to make sure you find what youre looking for. On numerous occasions, Sam has ordered obscure random new releases for me.

I really do this place a 5/5 because they are always on the scene and they can get you anything you need. The staff is friendly and considerate and knowledgeable about comics. They have a good toy selection, and the atmosphere is calm.
