Located on Castro Valley Blvd, Crush Comics has a nice mix of new comics, and back issues. You'll…read morefind most new comics and current issues (past year) organized neatly on the left as you enter the store. If you need help finding anything, just ask the staff behind the counter. They're really helpful. They have a few long boxes set up in the front with 1 dollar comics and 5 dollar graphic novels in the front of the store. Singles are kept in the 1$ long boxes which include a lot Marvel, Image, Valiant, Ultraverse comics from the 90s, you'll also find some DC and vertigo titles as well. Sifting through these boxes gave me flashbacks of when I was a comic collector in the 90s. Towards the back left and back wall of the store, you'll find shelves of graphic novels, omnibus, and other collected editions. Back issues are set up on a large table in the back. You can find a mixed selection of different titles from Silver age to modern. I found surprising inventory of certain title runs. I have a bit more exploring to do in this store. Crush carries good comic storage stuff - boxes, bags and boards (BCW brand) on the right side of the store.

The customer service, the vibe, and the selection are all sooo good. I got into board games about a year ago, and discovering that you can play games for free in-store or rent from their huge selection for a small fee was a game changer. It really helped me and my partner figure out what kinds of games we liked before committing to a purchase. Every time I'm in, or whenever I have questions, the employees are so accommodating and kind. You can tell they genuinely know their stuff about every game they carry. They're also dog friendly, inclusive, creating a really welcoming community that i really appreciate!

I could spend hours just digging and is easy to navigate. Their graphic novel section is just as strong, thoughtfully curated with top writers and artists kept in mind. The weekly new release selection is always on point, I love walking that wall of newly released comics and finding something new. Alex, the owner, is genuinely kind and approachable. The shop has that Cheers-like vibe where you can talk comics with the owner and other collectors without feeling rushed. If you're in the Bay Area and love comics, this shop is a must-visit. Highly recommended.

We didn't come up with a close by card store, but there was this comic book store we decided to stop and try. The owner was very very nice. Easy to talk to. He said no, he didn't have anything as far as trading cards go, but he suggested some other places to try. Lots and lots of comics on the shelves, and there were quite a few people inside browsing and chatting with the owner as well.

This is a $85-$125 comic in mint condition, which this was not and I don't have a problem with that. Comic books are meant to be read. Really fun, epic She-Hulk run by John Byrne, Iconic cover. This TPB is out of print and sells for top dollar. Thanks, Comic Shop! What a score. Promethea #29 Written By Alan Moore; Art By J.H. Williams Iii. One of the most beautiful written and beautifully drawn comics of 1999. Smax #5 by Alan Moore. All of these Alan Moore comics on America Best Comics are gems. Alan Moore getting his 2nd wind and having fun with comic books again. Coup D'etat #1 Written By Ed Brubaker; Art By Jim Lee, #2 Written By Micah Ian Wright; Interesting event storyline where The Authority seizes control of the US Government. This TPB is out of print and since Micah Ian Wright was fired by DC and blacklisted from comics for stolen valor everything he's written has stayed out of print. The Authority story with art by Jim Lee that DC will probably never ever reprint in our lifetime. And some FCBD Greatest America Superhero, Superman, ect. Great store and great customer service.
