Possibly the best comic book store in the Valley. Been going for years, mostly on FCBD in May, and…read morethey handle that event really went despite the crowd. They also have a lot of signing events, which is pretty cool! Really appreciate that they have a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are super helpful and take time to chat with you and give solid recommendations. Been to other stores that feel very judgey and just want you out ASAP. Collector's Paradise is the complete opposite. Layout is nice and spacious giving room to browse. The sections by author took me a while to get used to. Good selection and I love that authors randomly drop in and sign copies (and the store sells them at face value).

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.

Couldn't ask for a nicer group of folks. Very friendly, welcoming, and happy to have visitors…read more Great selection of comics from every era and all reasonably priced. A back room is filled with $1 comics as well as toys and other collectibles.

This place is amazing, best of all the people working there. My wife and I came down 2 weeks ago…read morefrom Northern California and they welcomed us in, chatted with us, we joked around. We talked about our cats haha. They are so knowledgeable and love how they have everything organized by decades. They gave my wife a trivia question and because she got it right, wink, wink, they let her pick 2 comics for free. I saw them interact with this little kid, you can just tell they love kids and love their job. When I'm back in Souther California, I'm definitely stopping by there again!

I went here over the weekend and enjoyed looking at the comic selections. Continental Comics had a…read moredecent amount of new comics, but a crap load of back issues. I was looking for Uncanny X-Men Bronze Age, they carried more than a lot of comic books stores would have. If you're looking for other back issued, I can almost guarantee they're going to have a big selection of that title. If you're looking for back issues, you should check this place out. By the way, they sell Funko's!

Out of all the comic stores I've gone to, this is the worst comic store service I've ever been. The…read moreperson who seemed to own it was extremely condescending. I only got help after 20 minutes of the worker being on the phone, and I asked for any death of superman single issues. I followed my question by asking for any newsstand variants, he called my request bullsh-. I apologized, and he said "it's okay, a lack of education will do that". He dismissed any questions after that with rude remarks and attitude. For someone that had an amazing collection of valuable comics, the worker made it extremely hard to want to purchase from them ever. What a terrible experience.

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!

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.
