Awesome selection and very friendly knowledgeable staff. They have a geat selection of collectibles as well. The staff made some comic recommendations for my pre-teen daughter and she really enjoyed them. read more

MaximuM Comics is the best comic book store in the world. I've been a customer for over ten years. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable & eager to help. read more

Our Son asked us to stop here so he could buy a birthday gift for his friend. I had no clue this place existed, but I'm glad he knew about it. It has a ton of comics. I browsed around while my Son went searching for the birthday present. I could spend hours in this joint! Since The Better Half (TBH) was waiting in the car, we only had a few minutes.....but it didn't take long once he asked for help. The staff was very friendly and made sure he found what he was looking for. He purchased 5 Ghost Rider Comic Books. When we got back to the car, I asked him which friend this was for....he said Kristen. In a shocked voice I said "Are you sure Kristen will like this gift?!".....he said "Yeah Dad, she loves comics."......I told him to marry her. He laughed and said I was crazy. Oh well, he'll regret it later. Will I return? Next time without TBH so I can "waste some time" looking around, ha! read more

This place still earns 5 Stars. Frankly, I'd give it more if I could. It's hard to find "Your" comic shop. The one that once you find it, you know it's "Home" for your reading needs. But once you do, nothing else compares. Here's why I stick to this place: 1.) I got SUPER busy at the end of last year. I didn't have time to come in for a few months, to the point where I figured that they would have written me off and shelved my books. I walk in, and nope, everything I subscribe to was right there waiting for me. Not one issue missing, and in perfect condition, save for one issue, where they promptly found me one in better shape. 2.) They do an AWESOME job of ordering stuff. If they don't have it, they will attempt to find it. I was going crazy trying to track down a certain graphic novel, and they found it without breaking a sweat. 3.) The staff is friendly. They joke, they know their stuff, and you get the feeling that they look out for their customers, and their actions back that speculation up. It's a bit of a drive for me since I've moved, but good, dependable service is worth the extra mile or two. I've definitely found my comic "home", and plan to stay. read more

I heart Maximum Comics! (Not as much as my son though! LOL) I love going here because the staff is awesome! There were a few times that I came into the store and showed them a photo of Wonder Woman, my FAV, and they were able to tell me who the artist was! I don't know much about comics, 'cept Wonder Woman of course, but when ever I have to buy something for someone, usually my son lol, they are so knowledgeable and are willing to assist the best way that they can. My son is always in their bargain bins... I love those bargain bins, well, because they're a bargain! Their selection is great and if for some reason, they don't have something that you're looking for, they are always so willing to assist you and make sure that you are in the direction that you need to be in order to get what you need. read more

Ok, I'm going to fess up. I don't read comic books. Ever. However, my husband is about a 6 on a nerd scale of 10 so I've been to many comic book stores in my day. Maximum Comics is a large store and brightly lit. It doesn't have the dark, crowded feel like many comic book stores and everything is so well-organized even I can figure my way around the place. Newest editions are to the right by the counter, newer comics in alphabetical order on the left, and older stuff in the drawers in the back. Graphic novels, omnibuses (I think that's a term...), etc. are on the shelves through the middle of the store. You can also find shirts, hats, toys, statues, and bumper stickers to fulfill your nerdy needs. Employees are super nice and really helpful. Now I really need to tell you why Maximum is like a boss. Once a month they screen a movie at Rave. Not impressed? What if I told you the movies are played at midnight, they are cheesy and/or nerdy themed, you get to yell at the screen, and it is free to get in? It's ok to agree with me. Maximum is awesome. Some movies they have shown include: Spaceballs, Monster Squad, Howard the Duck, and Flash Gordon. Come early for a good seat and a chance to win some prizes. A definite store to visit if you are a comic book nerd (it's ok, we won't judge). See you at the next movie! read more

Friendly staff, decent selection of comics, figures, and statues. The real defining mark for me is every single staff member i have encountered is super friendly. I drive out of my way to go here because of that. read more

I wish I could make this a movie trailer rather than a written review. It would go something like this (you'll have to use your imagination): *Voice over* In a world, plagued by terrible customer service experiences, one store, one team sought to overcome it all. Coming this June, the staff of Maximum Comic Store #1 in: Maximum Customer Service. Ok so it's a working title... I've gone here a few times off and on over the last few months and everyone I've met is cool. Most recently, I went in looking for two specific titles and, while I didn't find them on the shelf, I thought I'd ask about them just in case. Jenny called the other stores and they had what I was looking for! Not only that but she offered to have them brought over. Just a super awesome experience and the staff is really what makes it. Thanks! read more

I've been coming here for 7-8 years. There have been many employees that have come and gone. There have been small and huge cosmetic changes to the store. There've been mishaps to my order. There's been surprises to my order. But the one thing that has been consistent all these years is the amazing commitment the owner jay has to his costumers happiness and satisfaction! It shows in the way his employes are trained. It shows in the cleanliness of the shops. It shows in his interactions with you. It shows in his merchandise selection. It show in his special events. This is hands down the best comic shop and group of comic shops in Las Vegas and maybe the world! read more

MaximuM Comics - Las Vegas - Me and the giant Hulk at MaximuM Comics store 3 - Comic Books Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This is one of my two favorite comic book stores in the Las Vegas Valley (the other is Alternate Reality), and as a fairly new comic book fan with a specific taste who is open to reading anything that catches her eye, this store is a nice breath of fresh air both visually in the store and book-wise on the shelves. Jay, the owner, is not your typical LCS guy, and I believe that he truly thinks about what his clientele is reading and what they may like. My boyfriend and I love to visit this store whenever we're on that side of town (West Las Vegas) and consider it a treat to be able to shop, browse, and chat with Jay. However, because of the store's location, we are not able to visit often enough as we both live on the opposite side of town. But if we DID live on the West side of the Valley, we totally would be regulars at this store. read more

So, this past summer I rediscovered my inner geek when I came across this store when I stopped by Game Stop and Rocket Fizz one day. I've been hooked ever since. The staff is hands down the best comic book store staff I've ever come across. I've visited most of the stores in the area now and most can't even come close. A few do. The owner, Jay, is just a big kid when it comes to comics, toys, clothing, you name it. He just loves the stuff and is one of the most personable people I've ever met in my life. He really enjoys what he does and goes out of his way to make sure that his customers are more than happy and in turn, they keep coming back. They will special order anything they can get their hands on to make someone happy. The guys that work for Jay all have a ridiculous amount of knowledge when it comes to comics, pop culture, and whatnot. The selection is top notch here! There are just tons and tons of comics, toys, novels, graphic novels, statues, and even clothing to chose from. Not to mention the back issues sections in both stores. OMG is all I can say. 1.0 has roughly 24 drawers and 2.0 (much bigger store) has about 60 drawers of nothing but back issues. They even have pieced together sets of issues pertaining to certain story lines. Last I saw, there were hundreds of sets to be had. There is also a cool and wide selection of variants. Onto the deals.: Join their facebook and you'll get special deals just for facebook fans. The newest ones have been letter of the day deals. Yesterday was P, so all back issues at cover price in the letter P were sold for only $1 instead of the $3-$5 cover prices. I've filled out some nice parts of my collection using these. You have to be a facebook fan to get it and let them know so they can verify it. But most of the staff is pretty good at remember who is who, which is really cool! All graphic novels and TPB"s are 20-25% off at ALL times for pull box members in good standings. Pull boxes, for those who aren't familiar with the term, is where they put the comics/novels you have on pre-order as they come in. You have like two weeks to pick them up before they go into "delinquent" status, then a couple more before they are put back on the shelf. For those customers with more than 50 titles on their pull list, they get 25% off, and the rest get 20% off. No more buying on Amazon for me! They randomly have in store specials most days of the week. During holidays and special events, the sales/deals go insane. They also hold in store drawings, which I've won five of them now I believe, for some pretty cool stuff. Oh yeah, Slidin' Through, the Slider Truck has been starting to make appearances every other Wednesday at the 1.0 store! Get there early, bring your receipt from the store and take it to the truck and get $1 off your food order. Coincidentally, Wednesdays is new comic day (release day each week), so that works out great! Honestly, I can't say enough about this place. Go check it out, you won't be sorry. read more

This place is way on the other end of town from where I live, but not far at all from where my ex-girlfriend lived. So she dragged me in one day while we were still together. The fact that I still come in here after all that time should say something. The selection of items is amazing. Marvel, DC, McFarlane, just about any comic book company, you'll find their stuff here. They have a good selection of past and current books, including tons of "bargain bins" filled with older books. They also have a good selection of manga, as well as memorabilia. The store even has a cooler with drinks available for purchase - not a bad idea for folks who come in here in a blistering hot Vegas summer. A TV set in the store is regularly showing comic-based movies as well. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Jay, the manager/owner, always has a great attitude and a vast knowledge of the products in the store. He also has a wicked sense of humor and it is unlikely you'll leave the store without laughing at least once if this guy is present. There are a lot of comic stores around the Vegas Valley, but this is far and above one of the best. If you're in the Tropicana/Ft. Apache area, this shop is a must-see. read more

Maximum comics is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, place in town. I am here once or twice a week buying comics or just hanging out. I have been going here just under a year and the entire staff at this location knows my name. Sometimes they'll even have my comics ready for me before I get in the door. They have a pull-box system that enables you to reserve comics, trades, hardbacks, graphic novels, and pop culture items. You can order stuff a week in advance or months in advance and it is always there waiting for you. When you are a pull box customer, all of your comics, pull box or otherwise, are bagged and boarded for free and you receive at least 20% off all graphic novels year round! How awesome is that? Jay, the owner, helped me learn about comics when I first became interested about a year ago. I walked in and told him I have never read a comic, rattled off a few of my interests, and within minutes I was hooked on a new medium of entertainment. The thing that makes this store so special to me is the attitude that Jay and his staff have about their business, comics, and their customers. They are knowledgeable about past, present, and future comics and always know what to recommend. They also go the extra mile to support the community. Their support ranges from talking to kids at the elementary schools to attending the Vegas Valley Comic Festival, and teaming up with local theaters to promote comic book and similar type movies. If more businesses in Las Vegas put this kind of effort into the community, they would not only help a city badly in need of more culture, their business would be as good as Maximum's. read more

Great guys in here! I didn't know much about comics at all until my son and I started going in this shop. Great advice on age appropriate reading for the youngsters, and I've actually gotten into a few series that are fun to read for adults. With all the new Marvel and DC movies hitting the big screens, this is a great way to learn more about the characters we're watching in the movies. Top notch customer service. Great store! read more

Ok, Alternate Reality Comics is still my fave BUT I must give credit to Maximum Comics for customer service and great deals. For this particular location I think they are lacking when it comes to variety. I enjoy the variety comic book store that comes equipped with cards, board games, art books, comics/graphic novels of all publishers, posters, collectibles, T-shirts, seating area, food/drinks- and guess what? this place doesn't have it all- thus 3-stars :b but, prices are average and they had a great selection of G. Novels and Comics. I cannot stress enough how I think it would be better to organize according to author or publisher, it makes looking for your style of read much easier- unfortunately this place was like the others I've seen and it doesn't stand out. But for now this location stands at number #2 on my list. **I've heard really good things about their Henderson location, So I hope when I check that place out someday, that it brings more of what I'm looking for in a quality comic book store...*** read more

I normally don't give 5 star reviews - I think I'm way too picky, - but I can honestly say that I have never had better customer service - anywhere - than at Maximum Comics. Jay and the gang are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. Not only do they remember you when you come in, but they are actually happy to see you and they take their time in getting you what you're looking for. I moved away from Vegas for a year (recently moved back) and went through withdrawals. Seriously, I have not found a better comic book store - heck, regular store - anywhere. The majority of comic book stores I've been to feel like a cavern or a dungeon...not this place - it's bright, cheery, and welcoming. They have a great reward system, a free 'pull' box in case you can't make it in every week, and great discounts. Even if you're not into comics, the place has a bunch of other pop culture stuff that will wet your appetite. read more

I love this place. The owner Jay makes an effort to learn your name and it's his business to know what you like. Very friendly. Rewards program is top notch as well. The location is excellent, right next to a Game Stop. I can buy my comics then check out video games. Get my nerd on without wasting gas. read more

Love the deals on $1.00 comics. Good location, as there are a lot of other cool shops in the shopping center. The staff was also quite friendly and willing to answer my questions. My favorite purchase here was a reusable Star Wars (original of course) shopping bag. I get so many comments from cashiers and other shoppers when I use it! read more

HATE Nothing. DISLIKE Location could use more space. LIKE The way store is organized. The selection. The option to have a "pull box" (which is when they set aside incoming titles for you). LOVE The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and very accommodating! If they don't have a certain item, they'll call their other stores and have them sent over. The punch card. read more

I frequented more comic book stores than I can remember through out my career of nerddom and this place is by far the best comic book store in any place I've ever lived. The previous reviewers are correct in saying that the owner (Jay) is one of the most personable individuals I've ever seen. He makes you feel welcome and finds everything that you need. There selection is top notch and if he doesn't have something he will find it for you. Go to this store. Go to this store. Go to this store. It will be the last comic book store you ever need. read more

Staff is always friendly- store is clean and well organized. Doesn't feel cramped like some competitors. Also a huge fan of the loyalty club- points add up fast and the rewards (free comic, $10 off) are a nice perk. read more

When I moved from California, one of my regrets was not having my usual caliber of comic shops here in Vegas. well this place proved me wrong. I love coming here. For one thing, there are many locations to choose from and I have 3 near me. I am impressed with the customer service of each location I have been to so far. Very welcoming, really pleasant, and they don't make you feel like an idiot when you ask them questions about certain items. And it's nice to deal with someone who knows exactly what he's talking about and if he doesn't know, he doesn't just shrug you off, he makes sure he finds the answer for you from another associate. The merchandise selection is awesome too along with the Funko Wall which has a wide variety of Pops to choose from and the price is really decent. The variety in comics is huge as well and I have found some that I needed and I love the quality in grade(s). The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to 2 reasons: 1) The various stickers being sold are quite expensive compared to other sticker vendors I have bought from. I love the selection and styles though, it's just a bit pricey for me. 2) There's a store in Henderson that is sort of an outlet version of their many stores which is only open on weekends and I have never been able to visit there due to my work schedule hardly giving me weekends off. Other than that, it's a great store with an awesome staff and a huge selection of anything you need in comics. read more

I love picking up my comics from my pull box every month! The staff are wonderful, they always have great suggestions for new reads!

Make mine MaximuM. MaximuM Comics is the kind of comic book shop all others should aspire to be. Jay leads a knowledgeable, helpful staff, all of whom have a real passion for comics. MaximuM Comics is perfect for hardcore fans and the newly initiated alike. Those familiar with the world of comics will find all of their old favorites as well as some new. Those interested in comics, but not knowing where to start need look no farther. MaximuM Comics also has a top notch rewards program, with hold boxes, stamp cards and discounts a plenty. The professional appearances and signings are also a definite plus. read more

The staff has absolutely the best customer service. If they don't have what you're looking for in stock, they will exhaust every avenue to find it for you. They also give great recommendations on new books to try. Super friendly! read more

This is an excellent comics store, i love it. The guys that work there are awesome, very kind and always helpful. They've got a great variety of comics, toys and collectables, and the store is always clean and eye popping. Definitely my favorite comic store in town read more

I was visiting Vegas for the weekend. Being a comic book collector, I didn't want to miss out on Free Comic Day, so I stopped off at Maximum Comics to pick up what I could. I was extremely impressed with the organization and the super friendly staff. After the crowd had dwindled, they let me go through a second time AND a third. I just thought it was really cool Of them to do that. I was so impressed with their professionalism and friendlines, that I ended "purchasing" other Comics. Don't tell my LCS that though. read more

Maximum comics is a great customer service experience catering to all the new Fanboys alike and they also have a great selection of comics and other novelty read more

MaximuM Comics - Las Vegas - great comic store - Comic Books Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

The Good: The Staff, the Reward Program, Selection, and some of the best customer service anywhere. Just effing anywhere. The Bad: Well it's not terribly convenient to the Eastern 5/6ths of Vegas, and some of the comics aren't bagged and boarded. Also it's not a HUGE Shop. Location, Location, Location: It's next to a gamestop and ROCKET FIZZ, so you can get comics, caffeine and video games all with one trip. Unleash your inner 10 year old. I go into this shop maybe three times a year, the guy always knows my name. It's crazy. read more

I was in town for business and happened to stumble upon Maximum Comics. I have yet to find a comic book shop that has the knowledge, selection and customer service of this place. I only get to Vegas 6-7 times a year but always make time to stop by and load up on comics whenever I am in town. Jay, the owner, always has great suggestions and even though I'm not a "regular" he remembers me and treats me like one. He has turned me on to some books that I never would have picked up and am now hooked since I read the first issue. THANKS Jay. read more

MaximuM Comics - Las Vegas - Comic Books Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This place takes me back to my childhood. It had been years since I read my last comic and the owner and his staff were all really nice/helpful guys. They asked me what I used to read a child and gave me recommendations to what I'd probably like as an adult. So far, they haven't been wrong. Another thing I love about this place is that If they don't have a comic at this location, they'll find it for you, call you up to let you know it's there, and have it waiting for you at the counter when you return. When you mix that kind of customer service with an awesome atmosphere, you deserve a 5 star review. read more

The employees are very helpul and nice. They always have a wide variety of amazing comics. Also they have great selections of the lastest and greatest toys and posters. Every month I love going their and getting the new Iron Man or Avengers. read more

I come here with my buddy so he can get his comic book fix...actually he has addiction and comes weekly to pick up his subscriptions or pull whatever its called...anyways I love how they treat him and their other customers :-) they have a great selection of t-shirts and collectable "action figures"...i won't call them dolls anymore...anyways we have closer comic shops by our house but this place is worth the trip :-) read more

The comics selection is okay and they have a decent amount of toys to choose from. They aren't as big as Alternate Reality Comics but it's a pretty good store. They have a very cool red hulk statue at the counter! read more

See all

Best Place for Comics, Statues, Toys etc! Awesome staff and kid friendly. I never seen a comic book store that takes care of there costumers so good! 3 Awesome locations in Las Vegas! I have been a comic book fan since i was a kid! and i wish this place was around when i was growing up! cool Shops! II a huge statue collector, and these stores carry Bowen and SideShow plus others.. Im happy:) Thank you Maximum Comics!!!! read more

Without hesitation, I recieved great help from one of the workers in the store. I had questions about what comics I should read or get into, and he was happy to answer all my questions and spend as much time with me as possible. They're extremely friendly and left the store with more knowledge about what I want to read next, or just comics in general! read more

Friendly staff, and offered free comic books too! Great place to get some cheap buttons at $1 each. Really enjoyed it! ;)

I was in from California visiting some friends, and made it a point to stop at MaximuM Comics, because they come highly recommend. Wow, what a great shop! When I got in there, Jay was helping a family find comics for their little girl, and boy was he knowledgeable and shared his love and enthusiasm for comic books. Seems like he made a new customer! I was browsing the tremendous $1 back issue boxes, finding gems. Jay came over and apologized for not greeting me, that's how focused he is on customer service! I scored some great back issues to fill in some gaps, but the real deal were the packages of full runs for CHEAP! I actually hit up his second store on Tropicana Parkway, and it was just as good. Jay was friendly, knowledgeable, and even knew Chris, the owner of my LCS in Rancho Cucamonga. I will definitely be back next month! This is one of the best shops I've ever visited in my 40 years of collecting comics! Keep him busy, Las Vegas, you've got a couple of gems in the MaximuM Comics stores! read more

Notably taking from the pages of it's merchandise, this comic book shop represents it's nice like a hero. Everything is very well laid out in this geek oasis from the shelves sporting the new releases on the wall, to the aisles stock full of great comic world related merchandise, to the back of the store which sports a huge and very impressive file drawer system for back issues. You aren't left to your own devices. This store has staff that knows their comics and are friendly and willing to help you sate your need for the read. Maximum lives up to it's namesake taking what a comic shop should be to the Maximum. read more

I stopped in to maximum comics when looking for a gift for my nephew. The owner Jay was super friendly and pointed me in the direction of things he thought my nephew would enjoy based on the information I gave him. I'm not really much into comic books so I was kind of Flying Blind. Seems like a great place to spend a couple of hours on a weekend afternoon if you were into this kind of stuff. There were some unusual characters wandering about, but from what I understand that's normal for comic book readers. read more
