Ive been to countless comic book shops and Comic College remains one of the very best. While many shops offer a wide variety of comics, not many can boast the type of ownership and staff Comic College has. Ive had to scale back my weekly purchases many times over the years but, despite not buying as many books as other customers, Ive never been made to feel less important. Ive also been witness to several occasions in which I felt the staff was incredibly helpful to people visiting a comic shop for their first time, an experience that Im told can be intimidating and awkward. Not at Comic College. Its my belief that, in any business open to the public, the staff is a reflection of management and ownership. This explains why Comic College provides a wonderful experience for both newcomers and aging fanboys like myself. Comic books are for everyone and everyone should give Comic College a try. Excelsior!

This is a great example of the local neighborhood comic book store. The staff is always friendly and approachable. There is a great range of new and old comics, collections and graphic novels, and toys. There is always a box or two of quarter or dollar comics, as well as a section for kids complete with bean bag chair. With many other shops closing up in the Twin Cities, it is a good thing that the College is still open for comic readers new and old.

Stopped by this store after finding on the internet. Had plans to stop near Lake Calhoun for lunch. Friendly staff and definitely not pushy. Was allowed to look around and shop without being bothered. *Refreshing to say the least! Picked up great back issues in fantastic condition at a reasonable price. Also, decent stock of newer issues as well. I would shop again next time I visit MN. Makes me wish Madison, WI, had a store like this.

Walked in and the door chimes were loud enough to announce I was there. There were 2 people sitting behind the counter that were reading. Neither of them acknowledge me or asked if I needed help. So the customer service was severely lacking and to top it off they didnt have the latest issue of the comic I was looking for which had been out for about 10 days. I basically wasted my time going there. That will be the last time.

Expansive selection of back issues meticulously organized and easy to find what youre looking for. Along with special sales bins, all back issues were reasonably priced...the expensive books were ones I expected to be expensive and nothing seemed marked up. If youre an out-of-towner and want to try to fill in your missing issues, this is a must visit!

When I walked in, I asked the guy at the counter where the back issues were. He ignored me, while he continued a conversation with someone else who held up a "hold on" gesture to me. Customer first? Nah. So I did discover the over priced Iron Man vol. 1 back issues on my own. Many more stores in the area, dont waste your time.

I went in for my first Comic Book College experience and left more than happy! Great selection, great staff, great prices on back issues! Plus, it has an awesome comic book store vibe (those of you who care about this will now what I mean). Im now a huge fan and will go back as often as possible despite living 30 minutes away.

Spent a little time and was able to find one GA book before heading out. Staff was friendly and helpful and even directed me to other areas with more of my GA focus. Looked to have a decent selection of silver age and newer comics and had the old store feel which I like so much.

What a great store. Everything is very well organized, back issues very easy to access. Best approach to back issue display Ive encountered. Extremely friendly service. Added bonus - theres a fantastic selection of trade paperbacks and hard cover books.

A real deal local comic book store. They carry toys, games and plenty of new comics, back issues, and graphic novels. Its a gem. Youre guaranteed to find something fascinating if you look around the store long enough.

A hidden gem of comic book stores. For a small shop they have a big selection of back issues. Boxes of dollar and two dollar issues. Found some good comics I was looking for. I highly recommend you check it out.

I talked to Tim at this location( I go Wednesdays when the new books come out) and he has been very helpful every time since. I would recomend this store to anyone NEW or EXP with comics.

Always friendly. Always helpful. They order things for me, if they dont have it. Plus, the Hold Slots are really convenient.
