Such a wonderful place! I collected comics in the early 90s and coincidentally found this gem next to the studio where my triplet 6-year old boys are learning the piano. I couldn't help myself but pick up some nostalgic memorabilia. Looking forward to sharing this tangible (no iPads here) experience with my boys. They even have the best arcade games (MK & Marvel vs. Capcom)! I'm now working on tracking down my old collection :)

Spero's Heroes is a fantastic comic book store that definitely brought out my inner geek. The staff were kind, enthusiastic, and friendly. They were very accommodating to my gf and myself and their 4 legged team member was very cute. The selection was rather vast and all fairly priced. The team was even super generous enough to provide us with the opportunity of winning an issue, after successfully answering a trivia question :) The team informed me that they were also in the process of expanding their manga catalogue and even asked for some suggestions of what I would like to see which shows how they value their customers' opinions and feedback. I think it goes without saying that with the experience I had, I will most definitely be back to peruse for old classic comics!

If you're looking for back issues or dollar comic books, this is the store. Great selection and fun staff as well. My kind of jam.

It's one of the larger comic bookstores in the San Fernando Valley. You can sometimes find a 2-3 month old raw book still at cover price on the stands. You can tell this shop is run by people who truly care about comics and their clients. Highly recommend for both casual readers and serious collectors. The prices are very reasonable.

This is a really middle of the road shop for a couple reasons. To begin with positives, the…read moreselection of back issues is great. They have some stuff that other shops in the valley don't even know about. The selection of new books is great, too. They are well organized, probably the best organization i've seen in a long time at a comic shop. The negatives: prices are way too high for what are basically reader copies, and the presence of the cats in the shop negates the concept of these being "pet free books". Many of the back issues are clearly a bed for the cats, complete with destroyed bags and boards, where the very cute cats have shredded them. Despite this shop having a good stock, the asking prices on every back issue are 2-3$ higher than what I believe is fair. In addition to that, the employees are not terribly welcoming. The gentleman running the counter was downright dismissive, I didn't even get a hello when I walked in the door and made eye contact. I didn't get a single word as I browsed the stacks for at least twenty minutes. The lady working here had a conversation with my wife about the cats, and even talked to my wife about her clothes, but neither employee engaged with me whatsoever. It felt like they thought i was there to cause trouble, even when making a purchase. In addition, this shop is guilty of one of my biggest pet peeves on the planet: not selling displayed merchandise. On the front counter, two small statues were displayed, but when I asked if they were for sale, I was told they still needed to be researched. Man, do it right now, i'm holding the money in my hand for them. In a store with no other customers, and nothing pressing happening, why would you not take two minutes to check the item price on ebay, or even better yet, decide for yourself what seems like a fair price instead of turning away a paying customer? If the item isn't for sale, take it off the sales floor. Stock is excellent, organization is excellent, prices are not good, and customer service is decidedly bad. It feels like the male employee is either suspicious of everything, or gatekeeping the hobby for some reason. I did not feel welcome here.

I've always passed by this store inside the Northridge mall and thought they just had collectibles,…read morebut I learned recently that they have a pretty good comic book selection. They have weekly releases on one side of the wall and back issues in boxes that are labeled and very organized. Like most places, they offer pre-orders for releases the following week with a 10% discount but I feel like their process is more convenient and personable as you can just message them through IG to put holds. Plus, they offer free bags & boards! The staff is also super helpful making the whole pre-order/hold process a breeze. My favorite part is going through their online backstock. I love how they keep their site updated so it saves me a lot of time having to sift through boxes. They carry the staples but I appreciate how they also have less popular titles. Even if you're not a fan of comic books, I'd still recommend dropping in to check out their other stuff.

I remember going to this place when it just opened up and they were mainly selling Lego figures and…read morethen other types of collectible figures and then also stickers. Of which I bought several. The staff was always friendly and attentive. Over the years, they've expanded their inventory and now have comics and Funko pops, which definitely appeal to the masses more. It is a fun shop to peruse and you'll always find something fun worth buying. Definitely a nice unique spot in the Northridge mall and I hope more people check it out and keep this mall from becoming the promenade mall or the other defunct malls over the years. Support small business!

This bookstore is absolutely adorable! It has a great selection of books across a wide variety of…read moregenres and series. They also have a small section with DVDs and CDs, which was such a fun dose of late-'90s and early-2000s nostalgia. I loved it. One of my favorite features was their "Surprise Reads" section. The books are wrapped so you can't see the cover, and each one has a short description of the story or theme instead. It encourages you to choose a book based on the synopsis rather than the cover, which I think is such a fun idea. I've discovered some fantastic books through "Surprise Reads," so I was excited to see they had a section dedicated to them. The staff were super friendly and helpful. They helped me look for a series (The Telesa or Covenant series) that I am trying to get. Unfortunately they didn't have the series but hopefully in the future. The location is great as it is at a mall close to coffee shops to grab you a book and head on for coffee or tea to read and enjoy.

I love their tote bag discount and stamp cards, and if you love books, you'll end up racking up a lot of stamp cards before being able to use them all They also host a lot of fun events like author signings, book bedazzling, and trivia nights. The store is located in the heart of The Village in Topanga and there's ample parking. If you want to read your haul immediately, you'll find a lot of seats just outside the store. The store is also pet-friendly except on days they have pet guests, and they usually post a sign outside.

It's nice and cool in there, so it's so great to just chill at one of the bean bags and read away. Also, a good amount of the manga is for sale, so I snagged two Jujutsu Kaisen volumes! I did see Chainsaw Man, Naruto, Demon Slayer, Spy x Family, Fruits Basket etc there so you can easily spend hours. There are also white boards where you can draw your favorite characters so that was cute. The owner, Lui, is really nice and answered all our questions and made us feel super welcomed! There's even a loyalty card where if you visit 7 times, you can spin a wheel for a mystery prize, so you know I'll be back. As for parking, there's parking in the back; there's an alley area that will take you right to the parking lot.

Normally I'm not a very social person and don't like talking to people, but Lui was super friendly and made my day. He had a variety of manga and figures to choose from. I got a coffee float and a hot tea which were both great. It's clear Lui has a vision and a dream for his business as he mentioned some events his store was going to have as well as a few other future plans he has for it. Overall I had a great time. I drove over an hour to get here and I would say without a doubt it was definitely worth the trip. Shout out to Lui for creating a great vibe.
