I absolutely love wandering in Vault of Midnight and coming in for little gifts for my friends!…read moreIt's a bit overwhelming to try and find something if you're not a big comic book or graphic novel enthusiast but even as someone who appreciates it, you can ask the staff at any point and they will be more than happy to provide recommendations or point you in the right direction. I've never gone wrong with purchasing a gift here and I definitely will come back. They even have a punch card for loyalty which is amazing. Parking is a little tough since it's right on Monroe Center and street parking but I haven't had a big issue. I'm a huge fan overall and encourage people to stop in if they haven't!

Vault of Midnight has been one of my go-to stores for years now! I grew up a comic book and graphic…read morenovel fan so to have a nice store right in the middle of downtown is great! They have comics, graphic novels, manga, board games, blind boxes, and some ttrpgs and trading cards. The staff are always incredibly helpful and kind and will definitely help give you a recommendation based on what you like. I love the area in the front with self-published and local zines. It really is a small gesture but shows an effort to uplift and platform the local community and creatives. This location is definitely smaller than the other I visited, but there's still so much to find! There are several other stores along the street as well as the Art Museum, so it's a great place to stop by on a day out!

Locally owned and operated by Nancy and John Spoula, Rabbit Hole Comics has a wide-ranging…read moreselection of comics from both DC and Marvel as well as a few of the independent comic publishers. If you bring in their flyer you receive $2 off your purchase which is a great way to get people in the door. They not only sell all the nerdy things, but you can sell to them as well. The walls of Rabbit Hole Comics are lined with beautiful posters and most of them are for sale (a few aren't but they don't have prices on them so that should have been my clue before asking). They also have a large selection of action figures, stuffed animals, movies on dvd as well as VHS, toys, kids books that sorta teeter on being comics (like Captain Underpants or Dog Man), and trading cards. As far as the Comics go, I feel like I could have sifted through the box's for at least two hours. I loved being able to look around and enjou myself on a day like today. My husband did end up not only selling some items to the shop but also ended up picking some stuff up in a "instead of cash, I want this item for what I sold" type of deal. I can see us coming back to this store frequently, even if I am only tagging along to say hello to the two adorable puppers in the store.

A great shop for games, comics and related memorabilia on the northeast side of town…read more The thing I first noticed about this place was the pleasant atmosphere of the store and the friendly and helpful demeanor of the owner/proprietor, Don. I've been to several of the comic stores in town and more than a few had a less-than-welcoming vibe. After calling another store in town to inquire about comic sales (and getting a quasi-hostile response), I tried calling the Comic Signal. Don was immediately helpful and informative. After stopping at the shop in person, I was surprised to find that the owner was happy to discuss anything to do with comics. He also helped me pick out a great board game for my kids and actually opened one up to let me see what it looked like and explained how it was played. What a great store to have in the community! I can definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're interested in comics and/or related collectibles.

This is a nerd's heaven (and I include myself in that statement)…read more I'm not a big comic person, but I'm a collector of Funko Pops and a painter of Warhammer 40k. There are also some Magic and Pokemón cards and memorabilia. It depends on what you're looking for, but I'd say the prices here are reasonable. The employees were kind and asked if we needed help, but we were just looking around, so we didn't take them up on it. If you're not a nerd, this place might be scary for you. It's big and there are a lot of things that may be hard to understand. That said, if you're looking for an adventure, this is it!

I was told by an employee or perhaps the owner that one of the books we wished to purchase was "rare" and therefore $75. It was written on and the edges slightly rolled.

They only come out with these ONCE! this is a steal" $50- So I hopped back on eBay and found it for $20 in like new condition. We did buy other books it's a cute shop.
