even the bar is reasonably priced compared to other bars especially in the winter park areas its got cheap drinks not cheap quality but cheap price they have great variety of beer and drinks and decent snacks but its a comic shop who cares what they have to eat the great. Central Floridas "A comic shop" tops the list as best comic shop in Central Florida a comic shop is number 1 number 2 maybe Coliseum of Comic and it last place is Acme which may not be open for much longer. and yes Im fully aware but those arent all the bookstores but those are the ones worth noteing, ones you might go out of your way to drive to. if I still lived in Oviedo or Sanford I would come to a comic shop even knowing the shops how many comic shops are in between those places and a comic shop... This may sound like a verbal handy but they deserve it the staff are always great! Theyll put up with the annoying customers like myself that ask a lot of question

The whole store is organized. The staff is friendly and ready to help anyone who needs it. If you are not one of the "Comic Book Elite" this is a great place to start. If it wasnt for this store I would have never gotten into comics again. The geek easy is a great place to read the comics you just bought or play some video games with new people. Everything about this store is geared toward getting people to read comic books. The simple fact that I could walk in there with female friends and they were treated as customers makes this a good place for women too. They also have free signings from both writers and artists and parties so there is really no reason to not shop here.

Came in here after moving from South Florida and had a fantastic experience. The Staff greeted me warmly and even gave me a tour of the whole store. They really took their time with me! The store looks great and has a terrific geeky feel. The Geek Easy section is super cool, with tables and chairs to lounge about. They are building a bar which should be pretty exciting. They have a fantastic netflix-like comics program where you can rent issues to read at your leisure and return once youre done; all for a low monthly fee (which includes a ton of other perks). If you live in the area, its well worth the stop.

Comfortable seating, live music, karaoke, and a great selection of beer staples makes the Geek Easy a fun place to hang out with friends or to just chill and read your comic pulls. The bar food isnt as great as it used to be, but it isnt bad either. I particularly recommend their spicy burger "The Fire Nation" for a strong flavor that goes well with a stout. As a warning, if youre looking for a quiet place to drink, look elsewhere. There are loud events going on every night of the week, which are lots of fun if youre expecting that environment, but can be taxing if you just want to enjoy your beer in peace.

I been coming to A Comic Shop since 2007. It has been a one of the foundation places for the nerd community here in Orlando. The staff have always been some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The best part is that they really only deal with new stuff. They arent worried about getting those old gems to sell to people. They want to bring new people into comics. They will give you their honest opinion on what is good and what is bad. Its been a home away from home for me for a very long time. All I have to say is continue the good work.

The Geek Easy has an AMAZINGLY selection of beer and the food is unique and delicious. Theres no smoking, they have karaoke, board games, and its attached to a comic shop so its basically everything you could ask for. But that seems to be just the problem. It is SO insanely popular that its difficult to find a place to sit and sometimes even stand. They need a bigger location to accommodate the large number of patrons that frequent the bar. I have left upon arrival many times just because of how crowded it is.

Started getting back into comics and walked in to this place as its close to home... glad I did! Great selection of current run comics and TPBs (no older back issues to speak of, though) and a nice selection of comics related merchandise. If they dont have it, they will order it, too. However, what makes these guys great is that they have the best staff I have ever encountered-- knowledgeable, friendly, and everyone is perfectly eccentric in their own way. I enjoy Wednesdays again thanks to them.

Im more into full-length written novels than comic books, with an occasional foray into graphic novels. I am, however, definitely into general nerding-out, and A Comic Shop and especially The Geek Easy, their bar, made me feel like I was in nerd heaven. From Captain America on the TVs to the multiple board games and tabletop RPGs in the corner, from the friendly owner to the inexpensive drinks and snacks...I plan to be back many times. A Comic Shop may turn me into a comic book nerd yet.

Awesome at helping you find something youll love. If you go there for a while, they will start to know you and your tastes and will suggest things when they come out that you would be interested in. My comic book interest went from "meh" to borderline obsessed because they opened my eyes to so many different types of comics. They have events often, and its always fun. Obviously its for geeky-minded individuals, but you dont have to be full blown nerd to appreciate the entertainment.

This is easily one of my favorite places to go, not just for comics, but to hang out and have a good time too. there is always something interesting going on and I dont feel like I have to absolutely love comics to be there. A girl in comic shops tends to feel watched, unwelcome and like some kind of rare animal. Ive never felt that at A Comic Shop! The staff are super nice, informative and happy to help you find comics youll love, not just what they need to sell.

Kind of a small place. A lot of comics but still much smaller than other places Ive been. They have a back room but Im not sure what goes on back there because they dont really advertise about it. Ive seen it open pnce, there are tables and I think a bar back there. Generally nice place, but there are always people gathered right outside the door smoking and no way to avoid them and its a little small. Otherwise, a good comic store.

Most comic shops look the same. This one stands out with its comic shop and fun Greekeasy warehouse in the back. The staff greets you upon entering, very friendly. Its an open environment to comic lovers and conversation. This is the only comic shop I have seen that offers so much value to its customers. The warehouse has a bar and is a fun setting for music, performance, cocktails, games, and conversation.

I was amazed when I entered this store. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. As soon as I told them it was my first time in the store I immediately received a grand tour of the facility. Theres a bar and grill in the back. They have wi-fi. Both staff members, I met that day, were very knowledgeable about the comics. If you are a comic book fan I definitely recommend you shop here.
