I am not a common Michaels shopper but I was blown away at the event they threw... went in with my daughter to grab a few quick craft supplies and ended up staying for almost an our doing an in store scavenger hunt with prizes, 5 stars by a long shot.

I was in the Michael's store in Simpsonville twice, today. Both times I had the cashier named,…read moreParker. He was extremely polite, patient and helped me with my gift cards with different balances. The line was getting long but he made sure to give me his undivided attention until I was done. Thank you, Parker.

Finally visited Planet Comics in Greenville this weekend. Yes..they have a good selection of…read morecurrent comics (by current I mean from the last few months), back issues are pretty lacking. The games isle is pretty haphazard. Hard to even find what you are looking for because there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how the shelves are stocked (example: They have a Bumblebee transformer figure in 4 places in the store scattered randomly..put all of 1 item in the same place). My BIGGEST peeve was 95% of items in the store had no price on them what so ever. How do you expect to sell things with no prices??? I did ask the cashier about the price of Funkos and she acted like I should have already known the price ‍. Ummm...no prices on boxes, no signage saying what prices are...guess you have to be Professor X and read minds if you want to go in there and be aware of ANY prices. My opinion...skip this one and just hit up the Planet Comics in Anderson...bigger store, better selection, most items are priced, and their back issue selection blows Greenville's location away.

As an actual avid comic book reader, the 1-star reviews don't track with my repeat weekly…read moreexperiences here. I'm not usually one to jump into commenting about other folk's reviews... but since it seems like they were left by ze crème de la crème~, I figure I should at least submit a counter balancing review. Obviously, from not being there during the 3 year old's traumatizing YELLING... I can only say that the three clerks (including the owner) behind the counter I've encountered in my many visits, are almost painfully mild mannered, friendly, helpful folks. I can't even imagine any one of them looking, acting, or sounding vicious enough to be traumatizing. I mean, I guess the temperature in the room IS about room temp (70 degrees) so if you are or are raising a snowflake... Do not enter... you might melt. Low quality in what way Mr Deadpool? The place is well organized, the shelves are modern, clean and not some wired shelving. I would only place Borderlands (only the top dog in the area) above it. Easy to scan. New, new books to the left, issues that are recent as you go deeper, and back issues there beyond. They usually have new books that other shops in the area pull for subscribing die-hards and/or are sold out of. The place is small, sure. But they're expanding... and what's your ideal state? LESS comic book stores? You want eBay as THE source for your hobby? Knock yourself out, man... Planet comics is my go-to for new/recent comics. I go to Borderlands for the experience, and I go to Richard's for back issues and to talk comics. They're all valuable vendors and members of the community.

Good people and a good selection of products. Prices generally have little negotiation and they…read morerarely offer more than 70% on trades for store credit. My rating accounts for a slight bias against some observed and experienced behaviors from at least one staff member. Overall if you are looking for something, they probably have it... just be careful to avoid making a better offer to someone for a card than what the shop offers.
