The selection wasn't the largest, but I still found several items I wanted. The owner was friendly and knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with.

Comics, cards, figurines, Pops, Star Wars collectibles, Star Trek collectibles, Hot Wheels, etc. I would not have believed the huge stocks from the outside. Plus some oversized Star Wars items: R2D2, a Droid, and a diorama of Dogabah. These guys are fans first and retailers second. Had a nice conversation about comics and left them with information on checking out my collection and possible deals. They were friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help. Check them out! Just leave enough time to browse around and maybe find that one item you have been looking for.

So many unique comics, cards, gift items and old record albums are nicely placed throughout the store. Prices vary but appear to be reasonable. Even a refrigerator with cold water and drinks starting at 99 cents was darn cheap. A must place to visit with kids who are into the above and graphic novels. Nostalgic for adults and a good place to eyeball the current value of your comic collection.

I am strictly interested in old comics. Pre-1995. That being said, they have some decent backstock…read more I have gone thru every box they had on the floor. Be warned, they barely have anything priced. That being said, I found a few I wanted. Took them to the counter. I asked for the prices on the books I had on the counter. He proceeds to "look them up" on a monitor. Proceeds to give me a very high price. I counter offer $10 less. They wouldn't take it. I turned it down. Then the young man took the book and said, that belongs on the wall. So, I worked for them in finding that wall book. I dug thru a dozen long boxes, found a nice book, made them a reasonable counter offer and then they put it on the wall to try to make $10 more. If I wanted to pay Ebay prices, I would buy from there. I did the work they were supposed to be doing instead of sitting around talking and joking. I won't be back.

When we made our trip to Columbia, one of the places I didn't know we were going to stop in was Cosmic rays! Cosmic rays specializes in a lot of things, including video games, toys but most importantly, comics! They have a nice selection of comics and being surrounded by them brought back nostalgia. My gf wanted to buy some comics for a friend since we were in the area, and rather than tell her what I thought, we picked the brain of staff, who were super cool about listening to what she was looking for, and came with recommendations that were right in line with what she wanted. Super friendly staff who were happy to let us casually peruse, and ultimately we walked away with a comic featuring AOC (a comic she couldn't walk away from). Located off of Devine st, there is limited parking right in front of the shop, but we didn't have a problem finding a spot, nor did we see the lot full each time we passed the area. Friendly staff, located on a main road, and filled with lots of entertainment from games to movies to comics, if you or someone you know wants to get into some adventures, come check Cosmic Rays out!

I arrived and spoke with the owner briefly, then left my books for her to check out while I browsed the store. I must say I was amazed at how well the store was laid out. Plenty of room to browse the different areas and sections. All areas clearly marked and arranged by themes. Most comic stores tend to be crammed into tight spaces and claustrophobic but this store was a pleasure to go through Nice selection of back issues and current issues, figurines, posters, graphic novels, games, and much more. And very reasonable prices too. Highly recommend if you're in the Asheville area, check it out! Oh, the very knowledgeable owner and I came to a fair deal for a dozen of my books!

One thing I loved was that they had some medium post-its asking customers different questions. One asked for your favorite book, while the other asked what super power would you like to have. There were more and it was nice to have a fun little thought provoking thing while I waited for my sister to check out. Prices were reasonable and I'd definitely come back here if I'm ever near Brevard again.

We appreciate that they also sell some second-hand titles along with a variety of gifts and products made by local craftspeople, and there are comfy sports to sit down and read a bit. We can always find something we want when we stop in here. The staff is always happy to assist, and their location in the midst of downtown Brevard is convenient for most shoppers.
