Small shop with limited parking that occupies the same building with several other businesses. We…read morewere not really sure what to expect at Cult Fiction Comics, but for a small shop it's very well stocked. Good selection of longboxes, some new pull books, along with a fair selection of dollar books on shelves. Pop selection was small but they had a nice amount of exclusives. Various toys and collectables including figures were spread around the shop. The owner was very helpful in searching for items and pleasant to chat with. Overall, this is one of the better small comic shops I've visited, and fully recommend it.

The owner was very friendly, helpful, and passionate about comics and his store. He was also hands-on with helping me find comics but encouraged the me dig and search at my own pace. I enjoyed looking through the long boxes and participating in the interesting and thoughtful conversations. The books were in great shape and the prices were exceptional--there was a sale on the back issues today and I took full advantage of this. Cult Fiction Comics has been officially added to my favorite shops.

The service from the man at the cashier area was excellent. He did a good job letting us know about future sales & giving more details about items we were looking at. We will definitely be back!

After I found it I walked back to the counter to see that he had pulled all of my pack fresh cards out and was man handling them, full bends and scraping them around like he was playing with his own cards. They have some decent prices for singles but awful prices for sealed packs, well over market even. After he ruined the value of my cards and offered me 58% trade in credit I was left feeling awful. Wouldn't recommend as there are better card shops and better comic book stores within 15 minutes from here. Plus it smells really bad!! Employee also made weird comments about me only being a collector, when I also play? Weirdo employees

This isn't a snoody insider shop, where an angry neckbeard will laugh at you for not knowing your Image from your Darkhorse. These folks are happy to help anybody with their first venture into comics, or will kindly leave the veterans to browse. They will set up a pull-list for you, if you want to keep up to date on the latest issues, which is even easier and more convenient to do from home if you use Facebook or Instagram. Just follow their posts and comment on their new release postings to pre-order anything in advance. And my favorite Sunday activity is following their weekly "Claims," where they feature new-to-the-store key issues and bundles at great deals. It's also a great spot for Free Comic Book Day and Halloween. They have some back issues, including some nice expensive finds on the wall and behind the glass, but since it's not the biggest shop in the world, you could probably look elsewhere for that. The customer service and atmosphere is what I come for, though, so it's my first and primary destination for new books.

The complaining is epic but we move on, trying to reach our destination, which seems to get further with each step. We are on our way to Gamestop, for the Pokemon event. The rule is, if I take the kids here, we have to make the 20min walk instead of being driven. Unfortunately for them, these pokemon events, are always in Winter. This Gamestop is hit or miss. There's one employee here( I'll make sure to catch his name next time) that is one of the best I've experienced. Friendly, knowledgeable, good with kids, he's worth the long, cold, sad march. Sadly, if he's not there, the quality drops. Once, a guy couldn't even answer simple questions about a Wii I was going to purchase. I'm also a little disappointed about a glitch that happened after signing up for the rewards card, that didn't allow me to collect points. I mean, a software store that can't deal with a glitch? Child please! But I digress. The positives certainly outweigh the negatives. Shit, they gave my kids a free virtual pokemon, I can't stay mad at them. So the kids got their Pokemon, we coveted some games and accessories and we made our way out, and into the cold, for the not-as-long as they make it out to be walk home. As they tried to make a deal where if it's any colder next time, we have to drive, I smiled, ready to launch into a "when I was a kid" speech, that would freeze their lazy lips shut.
