If you haven't gone here you need to go. I wish I stayed there longer, but I was on a strict schedule. The atmosphere is creative and welcoming, with a cool artistic vibe that makes browsing so much fun! The staff clearly knows their stuff and are passionate about books and art. The store was super clean , well organized and easy to navigate through, when with such uniqueness. Overall experience was so unique, I wish i had more time to enjoy the cafe, games and books. Plan on staying here for at least an hour. I love this place! Found it by accident.

Bring money, have a good idea of what you want, know the value of what you want to purchase or sell, and bring some good walking shoes, come in with a positive attitude, and have fun!

No problem--I started looking for another item to add since I was planning to spend more anyway. As they started to announce the store was closing, I asked if I could quickly grab cash from a friend outside the store and was asked, "Can you do it in 3 minutes?" This same associate was managing the customers going in to the store and she seemed to have issues remembering people's faces. I understand the store was closing, but the interaction felt rushed and unwelcoming. I was still trying to make a purchase and likely would have bought additional items, but after being treated like an inconvenience, I decided to leave instead.

Waited two days and sent a follow up email asking for a status or I would charge back with my cc company. That got their attention and instead of being helpful I was berrated. " As we told you in the previous email we order HCs like this based on customer orders turnaround time is 1 - 3 weeks. It's been 7 business days. Even our standard ship times on in stock items are 5 - 10 business days so thats not even passed. We have a case of Invincible 12 HCs arriving next week, at which time your order will be shipped. Do you understand?" I never recieved a previous email. "Do you understand" was extremely hostile And not how customer service should Be handled. That's fine I didn't answer left it at that as it will be sent eventually. In their anger or whatever it was they decided to send me another email " Didn't hear back from you and since you are threatening a chargeback you are just going to be refunded. Please don't buy anything else from us. Thanks." Nobody should ever give this pretentious comic book store their hard earned money

This…read morereview isn't for my take on any recent shows but for how long this show/promoter really serviced/services the community around these interests. I attended a few of the very early shows and then a handful of them over the next 20 years or so depending on the guests. These are a few flyers that I kept from the early 80's. As far as I know, it was the only show around at that time (in the LA area) so really ground breaking for that community.

The 01/10/16 show at The Reef felt a lot like the older quality shows of years past, maybe without…read morethe fanfare of a stage and presentations, but the vibe and energy was solid. I hope that this is the permanent new home of the show. The Reef is a much better venue than The Shrine Auditorium. The neighborhoods are similar and The Shrine has better neighborhood options for food, but The Reef has a fresher and more friendly feel. The vendors at this show were plentiful for shopping, very relevant with lots of comic book dealers as well as pop culture toy vendors and related exhibitors. Only a small handful of irrelevant dealers selling adult content merchandise (tho that ties into the 40 yr old virgin stereotype of the whole comic book sci fi gamer geek profile, so sort of does match the target attending audience) and other goods. To a degree this show has an equal showing of comic dealers than some of the larger known conventions in The Los Angeles area, so if you just like hard core shopping for comic books, especially deep discounted below cover price back issues, the quantity of dealers were here. There were also lots of higher grade quality vintage comic book dealers too. There was a convenient parking lot at a flat rate of $15 and admission was $12 to get in per person. They were promoting the next show scheduled for 02/28/16, which looks to be an equally good promotion. I hope this is the momentum this convention needed as the venue facelift to reinvigorate the show and bring it back to the quality of its former glory days of yesteryear. I wish the promoters luck and give them praise for a great start in 2016.
