I really enjoyed my time at Pure Panic! The people here are super friendly, both staff and other…read morecustomers, with their recommendations and comic knowledge, even for someone as casual as me. Everything is priced fine I'd say. First floor was comics and some toys, and the downstairs was for Magic I think. They have DC, Marvel, other graphic novels, anime merch, manga, and card games. Was able to find the comic I wanted easily. Good selection of new issues and variants as well. A seating area to read comics too. I'd definitely come again if I lived closer to this location!

A standard comic shop, but has the staples! I appreciate the variety they have with both DC and…read moreMarvel comics, as well as the variant covers - they were easy to look through and properly covered. Would say they were fairly priced for each comic, minus the rare or vintage ones. Also has manga, figures, and other series. Can be kind of crowded and small but cozy. The staff was chill and nice. I'm not sure about parking, as there seemed to be only a few spots devoted to the comic shop, but the metro is convenient and nearby the shop.

Super old school comic shop. I used to come here in the 70s as a kid to grab all the Iron Man…read morecomics I could afford. Back then it was a huge fire hazard -- shelves stacked floor to ceiling packed with comics and barely enough room to walk in between. I loved it!! They've moved since then, but only about 200 feet down the road. Same small shopping area. It's much more open so I do miss the stacks on top of stacks of comic books. The one lone guy in front and I chatted for quite a while. Told me the history over the last 30 years since I've just not been in. Nice sized selection, including a lot more slabs than I've seen in most comic shops. Definitely a must-stop-by if you're in the area.

While walking around DC, during a weekend trip, I made a stop at this location. I love comics,…read moremanga, and graphic novels, so stumbling upon this cute little shop was perfect. Even better is the sale that was going on for the whole month of July in celebration of their anniversary! Overall, the shop was clean, bright, easy to peruse, had a really great selection of new acquisitions and older staples. I really appreciated the extensive horror section. The music playlist had great vibes, and the woman behind the counter was very personable and friendly. I left the shop with a graphic novel, manga (recommended by staff), a tote bag, sticker, and a single issue comic. Can't wait to visit again one day! **Note: The stairs leading to the front entrance of the shop might make this location inaccessible for some folks.

I sent them an email and within the hour I get a personal phone call back from Aubrey, the sweetest, nicest, most genuine person, they explain the situation and just having a little hiccup, they go above and beyond and refund the 2nd half, and help me feel better about the mistake. I can't thank them enough but they have gotten a repeat customer. These people have my business and I hope the boss sees how amazing Aubrey is and how great she is at handling customers. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

This bookstore is awesome! When I went on a Friday afternoon recently, it was pretty calm and…read morequiet. Not too crowded which I liked as it can get pretty tight since there's many books and many shelves. Service was fine although I didn't really talk to many people while there (was more preoccupied with finding the books and checking them out). I'd say this place has great value as the books i got (3) were charged a total of just under $5. I can see why the staff put up flyers stating to be mindful with how many books the customers get as they're priced pretty low, allowing you to collect a decent amount. I'll definitely be back to check this place out again :)

The shop was well organized and had so much more than just comics -- from building models to artwork by local artists. It also feels like a real community space, hosting events and meetups on different nights, which makes it even more special. My child absolutely fell in love with this place, and honestly, so did I. We'll definitely be back! Staff was nice and helpful and very well organized!

He offered me coffee and gave me the history of the bookstore. He even took his time to grind me a bag of coffee!!! Not to mention Chardai personally reached out to me on status of book swag that I was looking for! That follow up and follow through really matters! Amazing staff! The book selection is phenomenal and even had the new Kennedy Ryan release available! The books are categorized by genre which makes it easy for shopping. They have vinyls for sale In the front of the store and in their back area. In the back is this super cute grandmas basement type setup with vintage couch seating, walls of crates of vinyls, a DJ booth AND a vinyl listening station that allows you to sample the vinyls. How cool is that?! They also have cute trinkets available such as stickers, greeting cards and pins. They even have one-of-a-kind coffee table books! And the coffee?!? WOW! A cup of coffee and your favorite book for less than $20?! Absolutely! And as you're walking out, check out the flyer at the back of the door as they have authors and other events posted! Outside has a small seating area and a clearance book section to check out. So go grab a book, a cup of coffee and enjoy a beautiful Maryland day at one their outside tables ( once it's warm lol) I can't wait to go back! Such a great bookstore!

I discovered Loyalty through bookstagram and the top lists for bookstores in the nation's capital…read more While this isn't the flagship store, it was certainly an experience! It's easy to visit a bookstore and find all the feature books to be by the same people: James Patterson, Colleen Hoover, and Taylor Jenkins Reid. That's great, but what about other authors and genres?? I saw not one of the previously mentioned books (and I loved it), but instead authors and titles I'd never heard of. I ended up purchasing two titles I knew nothing about. They say never judge books by the cover? Why not? If they're beautiful, then buy them. That's what I did, and I loved both books! The selection was incredible, and certain books had blurbs written by the staff to help with your decision-making. This store has so much to offer for a variety of audiences. Give it a try next time you're in Silver Spring.
