Hey folks, this is a great shop. Talking with Eddie was like talking to an old friend, made better because hes got the coolest toys in town. Comics, check. Collectables, way check. Rares and Uber rares, for sure. From Legos to Legolas this shop has it, or more importantly can get it. Come in with an idea of what you want and I bet Eddie could find it for you. For the locals, Rocket Comics doesnt feel like its competition to Fanfare, but rather it fills the gaps that Fanfare cant cover. Dont overlook this shop. Nuff Said.

This store has such an awesome selection of figures, comics, and collectibles from new to old. I visit the shop once a week to pick up my comics and find myself staying for at least a half hour to an hour, just looking around at all the cool stuff. I always find something new and enjoy talking to Eddie while browsing. The atmosphere is great. Everything is clean and well organized. Overall, its definitely one of the best and most unique comic shops Ive ever been to. I highly recommend this shop to anyone and everyone!

Found this place through a google search and very glad I did! Met the owner and he was really friendly and knowledgeable. I think we had more fun talking about our old toy collections and not about forcing a sale. He has a wide variety of vintage toys and new collections. Is flexible with pricing which is nice when dealing with older toys that are getting rarer to find at cons. Looking forward to seeing him grow and coming back to the shop when I am in the Kalamazoo area.

There are some nice comic book stores in the Michigan and Indiana region. I would like to think that I have been to my fair share of comic book stores and I think that Rocket Comics has been my favorite. Eddie is really helpful and down to earth. Many comic book stores seem to turn very mainstream, but this store is like taking a step back in time. He has a lot more "hard-to-find" stuff it seems, so if you consider yourself a collector, you will love Rocket Comics.

I stopped in for the first time today from out of town, and was totally blown away by the amount of cool stuff here. Tons of toys, both new and vintage, a good selection of comics with lots of cheap back issues, and plenty of other miscellaneous collectibles. Talking with Eddie is great; hes super knowledgable, and familiar with a lot of hard to find items. Everything was decently priced, and I definitely plan on making the trip there again real soon.

Stopped in this shop today, what a pleasant surprise! The owner is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The store is well lit, organized, and clean. As a hard to impress toy collector, the selection was very vast and broad! I appreciated the selection and service. The selection is quite impressive, its definitely worth stopping and making the trip. The prices are right on as well. I will definitely be back.

This comic book store is more than just another store, the owner greets every customer who walks in. He takes the time to learn your interests an hobbies, dosent push any items on you. If you enjoy old school toys or are missing something from your childhood like an old action figure check this place out! If theres something you want or need Eddie can most likley find it for you Enjoy!

My wife had heard about this place so we decided to visit looking for comics and original sets of Pokemon cards. We spent probably over an hour there and had a great experience. The owner takes genuine interest in each of his customers and is knowledgeable on the things he sells. This is now our favorite comic book store in the area and well be visiting regularly.

I went to this shop a few days ago and I was surprised by the amount of good stuff the owner had. Whether you are looking for comics, Legos or rare or hard to find vintage toys , this shop has a lot of nice stuff. I actually got to meet the owner and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. His prices were very reasonable, too. I d definitely shop there again.

Very friendly and personable staff. Huge selection of things that I had forgot existed. Everything from comics, to toys, to vinyl figures, to geek culture collectibles. I didnt end up buying anything, but I am definitely going back often as they get new stuff in every day.

The owner is very knowledgeable and so very helpful with all of his products. He assisted me in finding the best gift for my son. And educated me on some other fun things around the shop. Such a truly unique and enjoyable place to visit.

Comics and collectibles. Interesting place, but selection seems somewhat limited, and some of the collectibles seemed pricey and not in great shape.

pedro Russell

Fanfare used to be my favorite comic book store in town but this place easily won me over better selection of comics and better prices

Good place to go if your looking for nostalgic toys and old comics. Decent selection of new but very small collection of TPs.
