This place is what all Comic Geeks aspire to be. Not completely but in a weird nerdy kind of way. It's like his personal warehouse of everything he collected and he wants to share it with others who love comic books. Everything else is simply fluff for the non comic book nerds. I'm in San Diego and if I need something that's a Key book I go to this guy because 9 out of 10 times he's had what I'm looking for and honestly way below going price. Service is what I would expect. Slow, some thinking and then the light goes off and he's off to find the book you want. If he doesn't have it he knows and it's next question. Loves to shoot the sh!t and I could share comic convention stories all day long with him. Honestly if you're looking for a back issue or a key issue give him a call. He probably has it. read more

Owner has people pricing out everything Pokemon and they jacked up the pricing worse than scalpers I used to come here a decent amount now I don't go at all. People need to know pricing SMH yall want customers? Keep pricing fair & Customer service needs improvement. read more

Great Comic Book Store! If you are a true collector this store has a lot to offer. The owner is vastly knowledgeable and works hard to keep everything available to his customers! He is really knowledgeable too so he helped me out a lot. If you are looking for great comics this would be a good place to check out! Very fair prices too read more

Stopped by to check out this shop..... I shouldn't have. Don't know how it stays in business as the selection is beyond wack. The warning at the entrance of the store should have been a sign of how disorganized this store is. I think Jimmy Hoffa might be buried in there along with the ark of the covenant I'd actually rate this the worst shop I've ever been to and I've been to close to 100 shops throughout the U.S dating back to the late 80s read more

Would not recommend this place. The person we dealt with was incredibly rude. Took a 4 year old in and it was his first time in a comic store and he was super stoked. I asked for some help was shrugged off and was told to read the sign at the entrance. I am paraphrasing but the sign basically says, "If you don't know what you are looking for go ruin another store". The only reason I bought anything was because I told my nephew we would we get him a spiderman comic and I didn't want to drive across town to find another place. Never coming back here again. Enjoy your comic books virgin read more

Selection of back issues is crazy, if you are looking for back issue of title and live close, give these place at try , he always getting new collections . If you don't find comic, just check back in a week. Older back issues are normally cover price. No AC so can get hot read more

Nope, never going here. I made a phone call asking a simple question and it was hostile from the start. He was accusing me of not picking up a comic that I haven't even requested yet and had a rude tone going. Not sure who spat on his comics this morning but he needs to learn some customer service skills if he's going to run a business for a dying medium. Go to any other comic store but here. I'm glad he displayed his personality from the start because I don't have to waste my gas to visit their store any time soon, so I guess I can thank him for the transparency. read more

The owner was really welcoming and helpful with finding comics I was looking for. The stock of back issues is awesome and plenty of new comics as well. Definitely worth stopping in! read more

The variety of back issues and most for half off cover price. I'm also amazed at how well the store keeps the issues well organized. Sure, the atmosphere might be a bit off putting, but if you are looking for a good deal on a back issue or two, then come on down. read more

Have huge back issues section, prices are very reasonable , they good selection of magic cards too

I've been going here since I was a kid, Jeff has always been super cool and very knowledgeable. I moved to the east coast but everytime I'm down here I'll stop by and nerd out with him. read more

I'd known that JNJ was in my area but only now visited for the first time. Their selection is expansive--it's a great place to just get lost in looking at books! I spent most of my time looking at the newer issues and the trade paperbacks, but would love to return to pour over the discount section. I ended up finding an older trade that I needed to finish my collection, and was happy to support the store and the very friendly owner. Will definitely be coming back! read more

J N J is a store for the true comic collector. It calls back to a time when your local comic store was a haven for fellow enthusiasts and the owner was a guru of comic knowledge. The feeling of nostalgia as I entered is irreplaceable. I was floored by the selection -- wall-to-wall comic boxes, toys, and memories. I was looking to fill gaps in my X-Men collection, and I hit the gold mine here. If you're looking for Funko Pops, stick to Hot Topic at the mall. The owner was gracious, helpful, and humorous. I don't understand the isolated reviews about poor customer service. J N J lives up the term LCS (local comic store). It should be a destination for comic fans of all ages. In my opinion, it's the best in OC, and possibly all of SoCal. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I could definitely spent hours in this place. I will say that owner is a character himself. Right out of a comic book has a kind of a joker vibe. I will go in the store just to rap with him . There's birds in the store and I think thats totally cool . Before I left he He told me to be nice to people that they might not be around next week. Coronavirus is serious people Be safe ! read more

Huge selection of back issues at 50% off, including trades. Lots of TCG items, toys, all the current books in stock. Last of a dying breed.

Cool comic book store, great prices, owner was cool, "half-off" comic books and they are well-wrapped/packaged! Overall, I was pretty impressed by the selection and organization of the store.. Don't sleep on this store!!! read more

Grateful to still have a local comic book store that focuses on the customer and brings in a lot of new books and back issues so there is always something new to find. It's not stack full of funko pops and non-comic book merch. Great selection if trying to fill in those back issues and prices are very reasonable. There are keys and slabs as well. The owner is very helpful and engaging and I had a great chat with him while browsing. I'd recommend stopping by and stocking up on some great books for the collection. Cash and cards accepted. read more

I found this shop must be close to 20+ years ago. I've been to lots of comic book stores in the last 50 years. This is my favorite one. I can go in and just lose myself in what jeff has there. Or I might just go in and hang out and talk to jeff. If I'm looking for a specific item he'll locate it. If it's comic related this is always my first stop. read more

I only discovered this place because it popped up as a "Gift" location on my Pokemon Go app. I stopped by to check out the store and to see if they had any Pokemon cards to purchase for my friend's kid. I arrived on Wednesday right before the store opened, and there was already a line. Wondering why everyone else was there, I asked the gentleman in front of me. He said every Wednesday, the store releases new comic books. Knowing how much my boss loves comic books, I decided to grab a few for him. The shoppers were so friendly and kind enough to educate me on the comic books. They showed me how to tell which ones are the rare comic books, how to anticipate for new releases 3 months prior, and even got Jeff, the store owner to grab me a few rare comic books he kept hidden in the back. I love the community they have going on. And Jeff is such an awesome and knowledgeable guy! He even let me pet his dove that knows how to do tricks! Needless to say, I left the store with pokemon cards and a few comic books that day... and came back the following week with a friend to show off this hidden gem. read more

This place is will now be my go to weekly comic book location. Jeff is amazing and is down to earth. Seeing all the long boxes was overwhelming at first, but all you have to do is ask Jeff for some guidance and begin you're hunt! This is how comic book stores should be. Great deals. He also has graded slabs of all comic eras. I wasn't going to post a review, because I wanted this place all to myself lol. Respect the shop and the books, and you will have a great time. read more

Do not let the 4 star rating fool you, this store is amazing the person whom attends the store is called Jeff he is a funny and entertaining person I can in asking for Magic the Gathering cards and even though he didn't know much he was still more than happy help me find what I need, he has a vast selection of comics and collectables at a great value as well it's a mellow stetting and I highly recommend taking the trip to this small business truly something that can't be forgotten. read more

Love this spot been going to Jeff for years. Great guy to talk collectibles with. Would recommend his shop it's been there forever.

I loved visiting this local comic shop on my visit to Orange County. The owner Jeff Rodgers is friendly, social and really knowledgeable on all comics . He has a great sense of humour and fair prices . A terrific assembly of back issues many which he has a 50% discount for read more

Been coming to this comic shop for over 20+ years. Jeff is a great guy but I see how some people may be put off by him that do not know him. Shop has a huge amount of back issues. Hands down the best comic shop in Orange County for back issues. read more

Comics Adventures: First walked into this place in the mid-2000's and immediately struck by the eclectic setting: dim lighting, numerous long boxes, birds in cages calling out and the rocking tunes (a little loud for me now in 2020). Organized back issues but new comics are spread out across multiple counters and shelves. Goes with the general "work in progress" vibe of the place. Mainly comics with random 90's toys and pins in glass cases. Plenty of parking in strip mall lot. COVID protocols: Temp check, hand sanitizer, masks required and reduced number of patrons inside store at a time. read more

The owner Jay is super friendly and you'll get awesome prices here with tons to dig through. But there's something about the dingy aesthetic and the lack of being able to quickly access the wall of higher end comics which makes this spot kinda a drag. Worth a visit, but there's a lot of chit-chat and hand-holding with the owner to ascertain whether certain comics are even in the shop. And, he's also working with some injuries so you might have to come back or feel like a jerk for asking him to move stuff around, climb a ladder, find a comic guide, and give you a price. For the comic book shop regular, but not the most accessible shop for the first timer. read more

I have to leave one star for the customer service. I saw other reviews about the same thing and should've taken them to heart. The man I spoke to was not friendly what so ever and was extremely defensive and rude. I usually don't let customer service get in the way if the selection is good but in this case it ruined my experience. read more

Haven't been here in a couple years used to come here with my little bro came in today still half off still finding Hidden Treasures love this spot wish I could kept digging but a certain somebody was blowing up my phone I'll be back soon. read more

decent place. I went here to buy my collectible cases since I couldn't find any at Frank and sons. The guy that owns the place is very nice and friendly. Lots of stuff here but I only came here for the collectible cases. Here is a picture of the case I bought: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/GLug4rCHl1j8jmHkqR7spw?select=nBNPa76FCSONSTKrAATubg The place seems like it has been here for a while so lots of things there for us geeks and collectors. It's a bit unorganized and dusty but he has what I need so I get in and get out real quick. read more

Gee, SORRY the lights are out (to save money). Gee, SORRY the guy's creepy (he COULD charge a LOT more for comics to buy a new car & a new wardrobe), gee, SORRY about the small talk (but he's not hostile like another shop I went to a few times), gee, SORRY he's got a RAFFLE (for every certain dollar amount you spend there you get a raffle ticket for big store discounts!). If you want comic books and you want a LOT of 'em and you want 'em cheap, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO, got it? This guy's got LOADS and LOADS of the things. Does the place LOOK professional? No. But if you want a place to look glamorous, go to one of those places & pay the high prices. Ya' simply can't beat this guys prices and selection. Oh-he BUYS collections. Who buys your old comic book collections any more? No one! He's a good guy, not hostile, and not fashionable. Wait, this is a FRICKIN' comic book store, what did you expect? He's got SO many $1 comics at the moment it's not even funny! 'Can't say enough good things about this place. Very friendly. read more

The only downer is that the place is packed tightly, but their comic selection is insanely large. You could spend hours here looking through hundreds of comics, plus they also have some cool collectibles. read more

Quirky owner who loves to talk. Come for the 50% off back issues. Every time I come here I walk away with a deal. Has a weekly raffle to try and get you back in the store which is cute. There is a bird in the store so don't be shocked. If you're looking through the stacks use one of the stools he generously supplies. read more

All I know is that Jeff is a really good dude. You should go to JNJ if you need comics books or cards because it worth supporting your local comic book shop and this one is owned and ran by an excellent comic shop owner. Sincerely. The dude that purchased all those sun drenched x-men books you used to have on the walls as decoration. I STILL appreciate you doing that for me. read more

Disappointed .One star is based on the customer service I received. Guy working there didn't seem to care if you do or don't buy any books at all. Very disorganized also. boxes all over the place. Guy is not friendly nor helpful. I won't be shopping at this joint again. read more

Had some good deals. You'll get a pretty good back issue list in the bins. Guy was cool. Hard to budge with haggling, but to fair a lot of what I asked for was pretty hard to find; obscure finds. Liked this shop. Will go again. read more

Solid comic book shop situated in a small shopping center. The owner is well informed and knowledgeable.

Always a pleasure to support the local comic book store. Jeff is a great guy and I've been going here for decades. I used to game here, but there scene here had died off. But I love you frequent for MTG singles, packs, and card sleeves. They have a lot of other collectibles like action figures, extensive comic book collection, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. read more

Love this place! Out of all the trading card/comic book type of store, this is the spot I decide to go to first and I am glad I did! The older man who works there, helped me twice on the times I visited! He is extremely nice and caring... Came here for toploaders for trading cards and the price is VERY AFFORDABLE & REASONABLE! Would love to always visit this place for my needs but unfortunately I am moving so thank you for making my shopping experience here amazing! :) OH AND THE BIRDS THERE ARE SO CUTE! 10/10 would recommend this place...! read more

Great selection of comics that are hard to find for great prices. Establishing a good relationship with the owner is a plus. There is plenty of parking in the plaza with Roasting Water. read more
