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.

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

If you're in the neighborhood stop by Fanboy Comics. This place has a great selection of new and…read morevintage comics. 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.

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.

Greeted as soon as we entered, and asked if we needed anything. Fair selection of comics and toys/…read morecollectibles. Overall prices seemed pretty average. We got a trade (comic) and a sticker. Don't forget to go to their vintage counterpart Memory Lane Comics 2 down the street. Overall it was a good stop!

Really cool toy and comic shop. It's a bit expensive especially for the toys from the 80s and…read more90s...they had a big GI Joe toy that was listed at $1000, Transformers in the same price range. They have a ton of Legos competitively priced and have quite a few built ones on display. I was pleasantly surprised with the Star Trek collection both new and vintage. Lots of parking in the area. Great spot to park and walk around.

After arriving in Myrtle Beach SC for a visit with the family, we all zipped over to nearby Conway…read moresince my mother had some shops that she wanted to visit. Since there was a comic book store nearby I knew where I would be spending my wait time while they did their own thing. Upon arrival, I had to say that Power Comics was quite deceiving and didn't look to be all that big from the outside. Wow was I wrong because once I headed inside I saw that the place was huge. The display case counter where you pay is off to the left once you enter and all around are shelves, racks and stands of all kinds with every bit of geeky coolness that one could hope to find. On the main floor they had a few tables loaded with long boxes for books that had moved off of the current releases batch over to the back issues but sadly I didn't manage to find the one single item I was looking for at the moment. This isn't their fault of course and I am just adding more words to the Yelp ;p On higher shelves above the reach of most people were the pricier issues and I mean comics that were in the high hundreds of dollars each. The main floor also had a massive Funko Pop section that I only looked at from afar. I didn't want to find myself snagging any of those since I didn't have the biggest suitcase with me for this trip. Truth be told my Pop additions are few and far between anyway. The glass counter had a number of collectible card sets. On the second floor was the pricier stuff with numerous gigantic statues that ran from the low to high thousands of dollars. I loved quite a few of them but I've neither the space nor the finances to bring even one of them into my small NYC apartment. Among the impressive statues were the Venom-Pool, a cross between Venom and Deadpool and an amazing Skeletor lifesize bust and chest piece. Eventually my folks joined me here and my father was impressed at the level of geek recognition I had for most of these characters. I joked that I could name more Avengers than Yankees or Mets on any day of the week. There were also some long boxes up there as well and they seemed to hold full runs of limited series and a number of collected editions. I didn't thoroughly peruse them so if there were more in there to discover I hope you find something you desire. My exploration found me discovering one of the McFarlane Toys KISS "Psycho Circus" action figures. It was the Space Ace one and with the legendary Ace Frehley having passed last year I just had to grab it. I do wish that they had The Demon but I didn't see one. The staffer onsite was not too chatty but it was early and there is a lot of store to pay attention to so I don't fault them for that. Suffice it to say there is a little something for everyone and I highly recommend this place if you should be in or near Conway, SC for anything. I look forward to going again when I return down to these parts.
