Same idiot that denied us entry to store came and kicked us out of arcade as well so they could play card games. Seems the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. In this day and time to turn away business that means they dont need your money or have plenty to pay higher for your trade ins.

Even though small, they have quite a variety of collectibles. Including comics, games, action figures, records, etc. A nice mix of comics from 60s and up. A couple of old issues that I either have or have had in the past. It was a pleasant experience and nice chat about all things collectible.

I was down in Myrtle Beach visiting the relocated family and while on some errands my Dad mentioned…read morea comic book store along the road we were on and this found us popping in to the House Of Heroes. While the shop itself isn't massive in scope, they are stock-piled with a whole lot of awesome stuff. There is a heavy emphasis on action figures and I saw plenty of the Marvel Legends, GI Joe and Star Wars figures along with several groups of classic toys as well, meaning older editions of this stuff that either were of their own personal collections or from others who wished to part with the treasures. Also before you ask, yes they have Funko Pops. Of course there are comic books both new and more vintage and while some of those are in boxes, the higher priced editions are up above on racks or the wall space to be showcased better. I didn't purchase anything despite having my eyes set on the brand-new Hasbro Cobra Commander. I didn't bring a big suitcase with me so I only had so much room to carry stuff back. The staff was friendly and I encourage all like-minded geeks to pay them a visit. There is surely a little something for all ages of collector.

Whether you are new or a seasoned veteran, you're going to find something that you love. The staff here is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have sales often. One of their biggest sales events is when you pay $20 and you can fill a brown paper bag with as many comics as can fit. When I lived in Wilmington, this was my go to place. I didn't know anyone and Fanboy Comics helped me feel at home. If you have children or are young at heart, you'll love free comic book day at this location. Just make sure you get there early. Its a full morning of events that lead up to the opening of the store. This was my yearly ritual up until I moved away and sometimes I still think about driving down to participate. This is a great store with great people. You'll love it.

Stopped by this store to trade in some comics that I had gotten in a storage unit. Walk in and…read moreemployee was on the phone. He looks through my box for about 5 seconds while preoccupied on the phone, probably looks at about 3 actual comics and then goes back to his phone call. He then decides to ring up the person behind me while I'm still waiting. Guy behind me spends $40 some bucks on comics and the cashier can't be bothered to put the phone down and even speak to him! Guy finally gets off the phone and tells me that all my comics are stuff he'd see in a dollar bin & if I can get 5 cents a piece for them take it. Wow what a waste of my time! Will not be coming back to this store

By far the best comic book store I've been to in NC. Downtown Wilmington right across from…read moreBespoke...plenty of street parking to get to. The selection...amazing. Anything you could want and look for: comics (marvel/dc, etc) , graphic novels, manga/anime, funko pops, action figures, a section for kids, Star Wars. The biggest draw are their selection and amount of statues they have. Plenty on display and all for a solid, reasonable price. Some of the Funkos they have in stock were so new that I was able to go ahead and cancel a good amount of pre-orders from other sites/vendors. The staff was very friendly and knew their stuff. I highly, I highly recommend just walking through and browsing even if you're not a big comic person. *they have a brother/sister store right across the street diagonally from them. Plenty of figures, comics, and statues as well but mostly the "nostalgia" pieces.

Great spot to park and walk around.

The place is actually pretty big than I expected they had downstairs and upstairs. And I think they were even trying to open the third floor but was getting it fixed. Not sure but it was such a big store! Most things are organized and they kept the store clean. The employees were super friendly and helpful! There was lots and lots of figures and comics! Like it was insanely a lot! The prices to most things are exactly what it should be priced for and some are a little pricy. But it just really depends on what you are looking for. Very neat place and my husband is willing to go back again if we are close by!

This is cool, new and interesting shop is filled with novelty items, tv memorabilia, vintage items, comics and much much more.
