Saw a comment about them having silver and bronze age comics so I drove South an hour away to check out a new comic store. When I arrived I asked the guy behind the counter about them and he basically said, "good luck, we don't have many because guys come in here weekly with their Key Collector apps out hoping to make a flip." The comics are well organized so I looked and I did find one....$3 for a Warlock Infinty Watch #7. I brought some comics in to trade since another store I've frequented (that's North an hour drive away) does trades. Absolutely not here and the guy told me, "we're like Walmart, we don't do trades." I paid the $3 and left. If you're in there for Funko or new age comics it's probably a great store. If you're going for TCG be prepared to pay high dollar for scalped products and "minty" raw cards. read more

Awesome customer service, competitive pricing, convenient hours and location. Huge selection. Also very knowledgeable and helpful to collectors of all kinds. read more

This store is great! Theres a wide selection of material: games, figures, comics, posters, books, cards, and more. The employee was very helpful and nice. I think everything was reasonably priced and well-organized so we could find exactly what we were looking for. read more

Nice little comic shop. Not huge but they have all the latest books and I found a few here and there from the silver and bronze age. I'll be back. read more

THIS is a comic book store. Just...WOW! Every fanboy and fangirl dream of a shop like this to get their Marvel/DC/Manga on. Yes, they are heavy on the Funko here, but that only means it's HIGHLY likely you'll find the figure you want. Speaking of figures, I had to take a few minutes to appreciate the ones they have for John Wick. In the word of Keanu, WHOA! Comic Central is one of the better designed, stocked, and laid out shops I have ever visited. Respect. I wish I found this place before Christmas, but who am I kidding? I will FIND an excuse to come back here and spend my pennies. read more

Comic Central - Hobby Shops Near Me - Sanford, Florida

In the area for a repair and happened to stop in right as they opened. Was shocked to see a line. We thought there was an event. Nope! Just people excited to go in. The store is nicely lit, roomy, and has a ton of selection. Staff was really nice! Everything seemed reasonably priced and I wish I lived closer so I could go again. read more

Danny is the man hard worker and very kind great selection to choose from stop in and give it a try!

Stopped in for the first time today. Down doing the Disney thing so figured I would check out a local shop. Walked in and two full sized hulks keeping an eye on the door. First thing I could tell they have a lot going on here. Funko's, comic's, statues and cards. So I bought 2 Funko's and 3 comics. Lots of back issues and bought myself a ASM 122. Very complete store. read more

This place is located in a great shopping area/center in Sanford. We make sure to hit this area up a few times a year, and every time we do, we make sure to stop at this shop. I like that it's easy to get in and out of the parking lot and shop. My daughter is a pop collector, so she loves their massive selection of pops. While I'm not a pop fan, myself, they do carry a decent selection of high end collectibles, like Bandai & Hot Toys. I have found that their marvel legends prices are very fair. It's well worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

Nice place a little heavy on pops. Nothing that stood out to make this shop an out of the way draw, for comic or toy colectors. No used toys to draw repeat business. However if you seeking back issues or new ones definitely check them out. read more

Everytime I walk into this store, I'm met with the most kind and helpful staff. The cashier in particular, Zoe, made my day when I (reluctantly) walked in 3 minutes before closing and she still met me with the sweetest approach all while I was apologizing profusely. Absolutely amazing store, shoutouts to you Zoe. read more

I love this shop. The guys that work there are super nice and helpful. There's always something new to look at. They always answer my questions. Even if I think they're dumb to ask. If they don't have what I'm looking for, more often then not they can order it for me. It's always a joy to shop there. I don't even hold it against one of the guys for being a bronco fan. read more

Great place awesome staff! Fair prices! Love the selection of pops and Figuarts. Everyone is really friendly and makes sure they help you out. Also, really love that sometimes when they're a little slower they enjoy a good conversation and chatting about different things going on. Great perks for pops read more

I just went in this store to look for pops. And I asked the store clerk TIM, about a certain star lord pop. And he started to accuse me that they called me about having another pop and that they called me. I never got the call I told him and he kept forcing the issue that he was right next to the clerk about this pop. I told him I never had the voice mail he told me they left me. So he kept being rude and arguing with me and basically forced me to buy a pop that I was looking for that just came in. This man TIM, was very rude and shouldn't be working in a place like this!!! And I will never come or suggest this place to anyone!! It used to be a fantastic place to go but I wount be and I will make sure I tell everyone how bad this place is. read more

Solid comic book store. This place is wall to wall with new comics and collections, and a descent supply of back issues (going back only a few years as far as I could tell.) There's a nice collectibles case near the front, and small area for boxed toys. The people are very nice and informative and the overall look and feel of the place is just the right amount of geeky. I highly recommend for keeping up with newer releases and ongoing series, but if it's worth the drive there are some better places in Longwood and Orlando for the back issues. Oh and being right next to Gamestop and Movie stop really makes this area a one stop shop for geeks. read more

Great small comic shop in a strip mall area. Friendly and helpful staff. Lots of fun small items to browse like decals, buttons, and action figures. Great selection of comics, graphic novels, and bound books. I like to buy my tickets to MegaCon here since they sell them a few weeks before the event. read more

This really is the best comic book store I have found in the 15 mile radius of the Orlando area, when your mission is new comic books. Comic Central pretty much carries every new issue on Wednesday. Even though Coliseum and A Comic Shop are closer to me, those shops are very picky about what they order (especially ACS). There have been many Wednesdays spent going to one of those two stores for something new I would have liked to check out but found they didn't order it in. Comic Central seems to have a much more inclusive ordering system! Their new and recent issues seem to be a fourth of the store (unlike a 10th at other places). Maybe they don't have everything in every week but they're your best shot. They don't get picky, "too hip," or cater to only one basic taste. That is something I really appreciate. Yeah, I'm sure those other shops could "order" it for me, but that beats the point of New Comic Day. If I have a big list, Comic Central is my best plan of action. Also, I like the decor: modern and comfortable. Not shabby like Coliseum and not dark and sterile like ACS. I also like that the stock is 85% stories (issues and trades) with just a little touch of collectibles and fashion. read more

Ok where do I start.... This place is the only place you need for comics. The staff is simply amazing. They are very knowledgable with just about anything. I am a newbie to the world of comics and they have helped me to catch back up on where I needed to be. Everywhere you look in this store is filled wall to wall with comics. I have been to the others and none of them compare to comic central. Between the wide variety and the great customer service.... How could you go wrong? read more

Comic Central is easily my go-to place when I need to grab new issues or trades. A great location that's never too far from home, a welcoming atmosphere and solid stock keep me coming back. But the best part is easily the service, of all things. Every single staff member I've ever spoken to in this store was courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and more than willing to strike up a conversation about favorite books or give insight into hidden gems. Not to mention their offers to order whatever you're looking for. It's clear they have a passion for their work, proving that doing what you love never truly feels like work at all. The only negative... You may find too much you'll want to buy, so deep pockets are recommended even with great pricing. read more

I have been reading and collecting for 35 years. I have found the folks at comic central to be helpful and pleasant. They do all the things a comic store should do. I keep my weekly and monthly subscriptions with them and they even remember when I bring duplicates to the counter I bought the previous week/month. Beyond being a typical shop they do not intrude on you with tons of email or push things you don't want. They are knowledgeable and serve their customers first. Toys, cards, statues and other related items are not my thing, but they have all that for the collectors who find it interesting. They are not too big and commercial like some other stores that are in the Orlando area who make you feel like a nameless entity. It is a fun place to shop and chat about the Marvel and DC universes (as well as all the other comic brands). If I every leave Sanford-Lake Mary I will miss this shop. Great for kids who still read and aren't stuck in front of video games 24/7 during summer. read more

I've been going to them for at least 10 years now and this is hands down my favorite shop. I regularly travel 45 minutes to go here even though there are many closer to where I live. The staff is friendly and always helpful. If you tell them what you like they will steer you in a direction that is right for you and will tell you if something isn't going to suit your taste. They have a great selection of trades as well and a large selection of Pops and collectibles if you're into that. read more

I lived in MD until this year, and when I moved I was worried about finding a good place to satisfy all my nerdly needs. I could always switch to buying online, but then I wouldn't really get that wonderful feeling that comes with the whole Comic Book Store experience. Since then, I stumbled upon Comic Central, and I was very impressed with their stock. They are now 1 of 3 local comic book shops that I absolutely love! Comic Central is the shop that I frequent most often when looking for figures. They have tons of DBZ figures for a reasonable cost, and their Funko Pop wall is amazing! read more

Great place for comics! They have them all! And great customer service! Store is clean and new too. Definitely not the typical dungeon-like mildewed comic book store. And places to eat right next to it: Panera, Chipotle, Keke's Breakfast, Firehouse Subs, Olea Mediterranean. Great place, great location, great staff!! Nuff said. read more

I'm a collector and fan boy.... They have a small stash but most of there stuff is top shelf....go here and shut up. Prices are perfect....the store clerk voice is the only reason I gave them a 4 and not a 5....he is so annoying....sounds like he drunk gasoline....no offense....but man! Anyway best shop I've been to in the Orlando area! read more

Not a bad comic shop with focus on trades and plenty of new comics. Definetly a solid 3 stars! Back issues section is small but they surprisingly keep it stocked with some great books! Theres even some dollar bins! High end back issues behind the register some over priced some fairly priced. Not bad for a quick comic fix! Customer service was average but the guy behind the counter couldn't wait to go home and was unapproachable. Pros: Wall full of trades and new comics Some key issues behind the register in descent shape Small but we'll stocked back issue section with dollar bins Cool statues Cons: Customer service could be better Small back issue section Extended holiday hours read more

I've been going here for a few years now, but I will not be going back. Everytime I walk through the door, it's an immediate shun from the bearded guy behind the desk, giving me a look as if it's "oh great it's you again. Just buy something and leave". Not even a "Hello!" or "Welcome to Comic Central!", just stares and/or awkward nods. Question? You get a mumbled "yup". Comment about an comic issue? You get a raised eyebrow. Keep your comics. I'll spend my hard earned $$$ elsewhere. read more

After having moved here from NY, I was in the lucky position to have a selection of several comic book stores to go to in the area. While not physically the largest, Comic Central is the best by far. The staff is always helpful and very knowledgeable. If they don't have something, they will get it for you. Setting up a pull list of your monthly books is done without a minimum, and they are super efficient in adding/dropping with just a email or call. The store is clean, bright and welcoming. The majority books are displayed cover forward instead of spine forward on bookshelves, so browsing is a pleasure. You will not walk in and feel like you are not part of the "in crowd", as happens in some stores. The customer service is what sets CC apart from the other stores in the area. You owe it to yourself to give them a try! read more

This place awesome. I really love Mathis' magical beard ;-) Seriously tho, great place for comics and collectibles. I particularly love the 40ft wall of new comics. Female friendly atmosphere too. Comics aren't just for guys anymore. Get out there and check it out. read more

I've had my subs coming from here for a couple years now but over time it's become increasingly hard to purchase from this store. Their rewards program is a joke. Manager will only hold non ratio B variants for his friends. I travel and I'm only able to visit the store to pick up my subs every couple of weeks and apparently this is an issue now as well. I know options are limited for comic shops in Sanford with Smash closing down but if you can find anywhere to go besides here I implore you to do so. read more

One of my favorite comic shops to visit in the central Florida area. They have a great stock of new comics, figures/other swag and trade paperbacks. Not many back issues, however. Still, service is good and I always leave with something good. read more

Love this place!!! Best selection of Funkos in Orlando!! Love me some Sam!!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Great place for a Sunday afternoon!!! read more

Only have dealt with them through eBay as I live in MD. Excellent owner and Ebay seller. Delivers what he promises. Wish they were up the street from me. read more

i'm new to comic books and new to florida. coming from new york i never thought i would find a store to slake my thirst for comic books and graphic novels...and then comic central happened. the store is jam packed with lots of good things. and i never leave there without something in my hands. i love it. even my 8 year-old nephew is into the place. he's just at the age where collecting toys and comic book is becoming his thing so when i took him there for the first time, he turns around and says "this place is awesome!" so far the only staff i've met is sam who seems to always be there, but that's ok because he always has little bits of comic book wisdom for us. the store is great. stay open forever! thanks for being out there! read more

Tyson and the guys are awesome!! I love going in and finding amazing titles in their $1 or 3 for a $1 boxes. These arent old crappy comics, they are awesome good comics!! read more

Comic Central is a great comic shop. They offer good discounts if you setup a subscription with them and always have a good inventory of the weekly comic books. The employees are friendly and helpful with recommendations and any help you might need. They have a good supply of back issues if you are looking for older books and they take requests incase of out of stock merchandise. If you shop for trades and comic collections then this is the store for you with 2 entire walls dedicated to you. Overall I would highly recommend shopping here and setting up a subscription. read more

Coliseum of comics used to be my favorite comic store before coming here. This place has about every pop I've been looking for, they have more Harley items than any other store and some of their collectible items are cheaper. The staff is always so friendly and patient with me. Also, I've never seen the store dirty. It has always been an awesome experience here and I would recommend this place to any comic book fan. read more

As soon as I walked in the store I was greeted and asked if I needed any help I told him I was looking for they showed me the items that I needed as I was looking around the gentleman at the desk said I could lay my stuff down so I wasn't carrying all my stuff and it just kept getting better after that I truly think that this is a good place I have to come in from Daytona Beach Florida to little bit of a drive but so far it is worth it read more

I love these guys! The employees at Comic Central are absolutely fantastic. They are always helpful and looking to chat about the latest things in the industry. I would recommend talking with Tyson as he is my number one contact. read more

Amazing, top-flight customer service. A highly recommended comics dealer.

Outstanding place to find all things comic book related. From single issues to Sideshow collectibles and pop art they've got what you need. Clean establishment that takes care of its inventory . Great sales and frequent buyer card discounts. All staff are knowledgable and friendly. Top notch place to shop 5 star all the way read more
