Ive been going to Zone Comics for a month now. Dan, who I believe is the owner, is very friendly. He always greets everyone who walks in with a smile. The store is clean and well maintained. I started going as a “try it out” store and found that this is my go to spot for comics. Every Wednesday, I look forward to making a trip in. There is a sense of community when you walk in which I haven’t experienced in any store before. If I wasn’t tight on my work/school schedule, I could easily hang out for hours and enjoy every minute of it. For the 20th anniversary, Dan and the staff offered a big sale and free cake which was pretty cool. My only complaint is that sometimes when I get there on a Wednesday around when it opens, some of the less popular titles are already sold out or may only have 1 left. Dan will put in an order for more without any issues. If there is something you need, he will get it for you. The bigger, more popular titles are always available. I really like this store. A hobby like comics requires a great store to call your “comic home” and I’m happy to call Zone Comic Shop my “comic home.”

Great store for the comics novice to avid collector. I started going to the Zone when my daughter became interested in Wonder Woman. I had never been in a comic book store and was very nervous to admit that I had no idea what I was really looking for! But from the minute I walked in the employees were friendly and understanding. The owner answered my questions and helped me find age appropriate items for my girls. Weve gone there ever since! They have a great selection and are always happy to order anything special you might be looking for (so long as its still in print). Looking for something new? They always have suggestions and advice. They also have a great selection of toys and frequently keep better stock of popular toys (i.e. Star Wars and Marvel characters) than the big box stores. I have never felt uncomfortable having my kids in the store (no inappropriate language or topics). In fact, the staff always makes sure to greet my kids too, not just the adults. We always look forward to a trip to The Zone!

Whenever I am in a new city, I stop by and check out the local comic shops. I stopped by this one last week while I was on vacation. Overall it was a clean and well lit shop. They had a good selection of current comics and a small back issue selection. They had some novelties and some funko stuff. One of the highlights was a large display of vintage action figures on a shelf the bordered the top of the wall. I was tempted by the micro machines that they had complete sets of that took me back to my childhood. They have signs up that say that pretty much everything is for sale so if you see something you like, it looks like you can buy it for the right price. I cant really tell if the staff was friendly or not, as they didnt talk to me at any point, but they didnt look unfriendly. Unfortunately I didnt find anything I was really looking for, but I would definitely make a return trip if I was in the area again.

The Zone is by far the best comic shop in Louisville. When you walk in its clean, organized and youre always welcomed with a hello. Dan, the owner, takes the time to get to know every customer by name and what you like about comics. This really helps when youre looking for new books to read. Most shops I prefer to be in and out of, but at the Zone I look forward to hanging out for an hour to talk about comics, movies and TV shows. Another great aspect of The Zone is their customer service. If there is something youre looking for that they dont have theyll go out of their way to find it and order it for you. I wish every small business was ran like The Zone. Its much more then a comic shop its a awesome comic community.

Be careful what you order from THE ZONE. I received 2 calls to come pick up books that I ordered, that honestly I dont remember ordering. So I pick up my stash of books, when I got home and reviewed what I bought it was just random books of certain titles and I was even missing some issues ! I called Dan and told him that I didnt even remember ordering all these books and I was missing issues of certain titles and to let me exchange some of the wrong issues for the correct one that I needed, and I was told NO he couldnt take them. SO THE LESSON HERE IS BE CAREFUL AND CHECK YOUR BAG BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE.

If you are a mom or dad of a kid who is crazy about comics or collectibles, this is the best place to go in the Louisville area. They have a huge selection of comics and every action figure your kid could possibly want. This is a great place to shop for birthdays, Christmas, etc. The store is clean and well maintained. The staff is courteous and very knowledgable. The store is easy to find and there is plenty of parking right at the front of the store...no driving around the block looking for a place to park. I dont know why anyone would go any place else.

Let me just say over the weekend I did my first comic book run in 15 years. I went to just about every shop in the local area. This place blew everyone else out of the water. The store had lots of backstock, excellent prices, and the store was by far the cleanest around. If you like toys, comics memoribillia then you have also come to the right place. The manager, Dan was as helpful as could be. Compared to the comic hole that my wife and I viewed at the great escape, I really cant understand why you would ever go anywhere else to buy comics.

Visited the Zone as I was traveling with my family. The store is VERY clean, open, and organized. I would say it caters more to the weekly comic book buyer and action figure/statue consumer. Their offering of back issues is minimal and when I inquired about this the person behind the counter (owner?) said he sold back issues cheap for FCBD. Understand the position, but was disappointed as back issues is what I traveled for. Enjoyed talking to the person, but probably will not return.

I have been shopping here for years and appreciate the "at home" atmosphere that I find. I can go in, talk about any comic and Dan is familiar with them all. There is a variety of older toys as well as newer ones... the remodel is fantastic and makes it easier to shop. I look forward to the sales and sprecial, get on the email list or browse the books and ask about preorders to be the first to receive limited edition items. Best place in Louisville BY FAR!!

I recently moved to Louisville after working at a comic shop in Chicago. While checking out the Zone yesterday, I heard the gentleman working there go on a racist diatribe while talking to another customer...and you immediately lost my business, support, and respect. Ill take my dozens of subs to a local store where my family and friends will be welcome to shop with me.
