I remember as a kid I was an avid reader,but for some reason I thought comic books were really lame…read morebecause they weren't real books.They were just pictures with a few words and wasn't even close to what I was doing knocking out multiple books in a week. Sometime in my 30s though that all changed.As I got older,I came to appreciate the high quality of the medium,in regards to being able to have such complex stories work with such high quality artwork. So I started collecting comics and became a frequent customer to A-1 Comics in Roseville located on Sunrise Avenue. The top two things I love about this location are as follows. -Their employees really give excellent customer service.They are very helpful in assisting the customers in finding whatever they are looking for. A-1 has two other locations in the Sacramento area and multiple times I've been in Roseville and they were sold out of what I was looking for and they took it upon themselves to call their other locations to check if they had what I wanted-that's excellent customer service. -Second thing that truly stands out for me about A-1 is they aren't cheap on inventory-every week when new releases come out,they always have plenty of copies so that as many customers as possible have a good opportunity to get the issues they want-not all comic shops do this-others keep such limited inventory that they sell out too fast-A-1 rarely lets that happen. This Roseville location pretty much has its own parking lot,so there's always has plenty of parking available for its customers. In closing, I really do recommend this shop for all your comic needs-it's a pretty awesome place filled with pretty awesome employees and I always look forward to heading back out there.

I found a lot of issues that I was looking for and their back issue were categorized by title and volume. Hope to come back tomorrow and also visit their Auburn store.

Review for single cards…read more The pro: This is probably the most organized spot in the city. They have their database of exactly what the have in exactly what condition and you can use it to get a list together of what you want. Then they go grab the cards for you. Very simple. The con: Prices are a little wonky. The cheap cards that would be 50 cents at most places in their big box of random cards can be as low as 10 cents here. The good cards however are very inflated in cost. Some things here are 3-4x what they are online (shipping included). Essentially this is one of the premier spots to go for getting your deck built out with basic cards. I would not shop here for your premium cards though.

I visited Half Price Books, the staff assisted me in everything I asked of them on June 6th, 2026…read more It was a busy Saturday afternoon. Liam and Kate were so helpful and went above and beyond at my visit yesterday. They gave me a time frame of when I would be called via the intercom. The selection of books, CDs, DVDs, video games, and other exciting things were all presented with visual aesthetics. The rest of the staff assisted me with where the restroom was at and another person helped me out with where to go by directing me to the way to get there. Liam again helped me out with my books I placed on to the push carts. Kate was there to help me out at the cash register after I found a few books I have been looking for at other book stores and online. I would like to highly suggest any book readers or book worms, any other physical media, or nostalgic items to come to this store and support a great collection of not only books, but a very professional team and staff at this particular store location. A+++++

I went here for the first time. I don't come out to citrus heights that often. Very nice store…read more Well organized. For a store called half price books, it sure doesn't feel like it. I understand stores gotta make money. Most items were close to retail. However, somethings I did like. Their graphic novels I felt were priced faire. Their dvds and blurays were priced fare. I would comeback again. While I had some minor issues on certain prices, I am glad to see more brick and mortar based stores still exist, Stop shopping on amazon and support real businesses'.

I've been coming here over the past 20 years and I can say I have never been disappointed…read more The books are always in nice array, displayed so that you can easily find what you're looking for or even being enticed to look at the latest and new arrivals. The staff is always friendly and willing to help you whenever you need it. On this particular day I arrived, and as I entered, I was welcomed in, which I appreciated. I quickly went to look for a book (Red Rising) that I had heard was a great read, and when I couldn't find it on the shelf, I went to the front door and asked the lady how it was organized and she let me know it was by theAuthor's last name. However, on the way back to the shelf, I did find it on a table on the new and hot items list. Somehow, being in a bookstore with other book lovers, you just feel a different vibe that you don't feel when you're outside of those doors. But if you're looking for a cool bookstore, I would definitely recommend coming here. You will find what you need.

This is a nice place in the Arden Fair Mall area to peruse books and more in a relaxing…read moreenvironment. My family and I frequent this place and find that the time does pass by here quite quickly...quite enjoyably. There are seating areas around where you can take a book for a spin before purchasing. There's just so much to enjoy... The place is brightly lit and well decorated. Apart from books, there's a lot more other things you can buy...vinyl records, toys, even model kits you can assemble in your spare time. And there is always the staff, friendly and knowledgeable about the store and its merchandise. The items are a little on the expensive side, but the quality is worth it. Summertime in Arden can get quite hot, but a relaxing visit to Barnes and Noble here in the Arden Fair Mall area is cool!

This review is for the Walmart at Elverta and Watt ave. What a clunky mess...I cant even see the…read morestore for all the walls of clothes you put up. Finding my way back to the registers is like a hike through a maze and Ill have no idea which end of the registers Ill be. I also noticed that you put the self checkout as far away from the door as possible with no cashiers at any registers...so its another hike to the self check out and a hike out of the store. Your stores new design is oppressive and ugly and ill conceived. Then its another hike to my car as youve taken all the front spots away from shopping customers. I can see though you STILL wont invest a dime or ounce of energy to fix those hard to push carts. Fix them or get new ones.

Came here on a weekend. The Arden mall was pretty packed. This is on the first floor. It looks like…read morea small place but it isn't . It's huge. It goes hella far into the back. There are Funko displayed every where. If you are into that they will probably have it here. I was looking for a specific Godzilla one but they didn't have it . I will have to buy it online. The staff greets you upon entering and there are staff around the store if you need help. Lots of comics too but I stopped collecting long ago. It was just fun going through the store and looking at all the stuff. There is a lot.

I stopped by Comics and Anime to pick up a couple of Funko Pops and left genuinely impressed…read more While helping me, the employee noticed the series I was collecting and let me know they had one more figure from that line. They did not have to do that at all, but because they did, I was able to complete the collection I was searching for. That kind of thoughtfulness really means something to collectors. The staff were friendly, attentive, and clearly knowledgeable. It never felt rushed or transactional. It felt like the employees actually cared. The only minor downside was that one of the Funko Pops I purchased did not receive the fifteen percent discount that was advertised. It was a small issue and did not take away from how positive the experience was overall. Great employees and a store I will definitely return to and recommend.

Spencer's I have visited them from coast to coast in my life and they all have the same stuff which…read moreis good. From gimic stuff to themed T-shirts, stickers, novelty gag gifts and even a adult fun area as well. Even if you're a kid at heart or an adult with a chip on your shoulder they will have something for you to wear or show it some other way. You will understand when you see them massive amounts of themed T-shirts. Service has always been helpful grabbing me something from the top areas or even looking online they will help you if you ask inky experiences. Definitely worth looking around. It is a bit tight in the store for moving around in some spots especially when busy. But that doesn't stop us from time to time checking it out. Ooh and they still sell the lava lamps if you're in need of one.

I'm so used to seeing Spencer's in malls that I initially walked past it but a Tshirt caught my eye…read moreand I decided to pop in. Overall it's a typical Spencer store, a Tshirt lovers paradise with other fun gadgets. They looked well stocked and the customer service was good. They even had a few racks with Tshits for $5! I ended up buying a shirt for my cousin. I think it's a good addition to the strip mall and hopefully it lasts in this economy.

Scam scam scam…read more We were attending a small event at the mall. A staff approached my friends and I and said JCPenny was offering free photo special! After taking the photos. They attempted to charge us a bizarre package like $20 a person and some odd amount of copies. Huge ripoff! We argued the staff said free photos. And another staff said " no it's free to take" Maybe don't try to scam customers? An already dead mall and all you're doing is alienating people.

Instead of saying anything to her they went up to my 14 year old daughter and told us we all had to leave the premises because they didn't feel Comfortable with us being there. Meanwhile my girlfriend was at register paying while we tried looking for her in the changing room after she paid she went into the empty mall looking for us because we told her that's where we would be while she was trying on clothes mean while security follows us out assuming she was stealing for no reason no probable cause. Shame on JCPenney, its workers, and security in an empty store that's likely to close in an empty mall harassing people who are just trying to support your store a place we've shopped at since we were kids. DONT SHOP HERE. Let the store die with the mall it was completely empty we were the only ones in there on a Wednesday afternoon staff had nothing better to do than watch cameras and harass us when we spent money there.
