Also, as with many of these places, they tend to only have the American comics as well, so the range, at least in my opinion, was rather limited. Then again, I'm not a huge reader of comic books anyway, unless you count Asterix and Tintin.

Their number 1 priority is clearly the customer and that shines through. Most things in the store have been built by the guys and the shelves themselves are stocked lovingly. I can't recommend this store enough. For the new fan or the hardcore, Troy and Mitch go out of their way to make sure you're happy. Comics, trades, graphic novels and figurines. A large collection of Lego and classic pop culture toys. Do yourself a favour and check them out.

They have absolutely everything in this store. I'm a comic book enthusiast, so the comic book section excited me a bit. Unfortunately, the majority of their comics are wrapped in plastic so free loading in the store is out of the question (darn!). If you're into the more Asian side of comics, they have a pretty good manga section too with all the essentials (maybe missing a lot of the obscure mangas, but Minotaur is a good place to start if you're just getting into it). They also have a wide collection of films, posters, books, shirts, and even games and toys. There are random knick-knacks too so it is always fun to come in and just take a look around even if you aren't purchasing anything. Cute things I have found: a stuffed animal of the pig TonTon from Naruto, SuperMario Brothers Mushroom Backpack, Star Trek Bobbleheads, Hello Kitty Monopoly, and multi-coloured Domos! 2 stars off because the prices are pretty steep... but even if you aren't purchasing anything, I would recommend you stopping by just to take a look around.

The taste and style of the furniture is pretty varied, but there's nothing too upmarket in stock most of the time. The prices are similar to that of op shops so it's more affordable option for students and anyone else with financial concerns, and everything seems to be in fairly good condition. It also sells an odd assortment of second hand books at the front of the store and the odd DVD. Green's offers same day delivery, lay-by and trade-ins, and the guy running the store is really friendly and approachable. A good one to keep in mind for anyone whose furniture is likely to keel over anytime soon and isn't at the settled down and decorating the house forever more stage of life.

I'd discovered it recently as something that can be made to look pretty despite having no technical art talent whatsoever. The stock is mostly Mont Marte, which one can find in most $2 shops. I don't know whether it's a good quality product or not, but it works for me. And if you're not especially fussy/doing it for money, then what's the harm? Great for beginners, and great for people who want to paint a large canvas like a tardis for a costume.

Well, okay, I have reviewed Minotaur, but that is an all purpose Pop-culture store where as this is basically a comic book store. It isn't huge, but it certainly has a nice collection, mostly new released mind you. The owner is pretty knowledgable, and the shelves are laid out by publisher, though that is probably helpful more for the enthusiast as opposed to myself. Oh, they have a nice cabinet with some collectables in the stairwell, though they are for display only. Still, it's a decent store, and pretty conveniently located as well.

There's a tram stop nearby for those public transport fans (and who isn't in beautiful Melbourne?). The staff have always been friendly (I've been to this place several times both to buy and browse), so don't be shy to ask for help, as there's a wide range of American mainstream comicbooks to choose from, both back issues and current ones. There's also a selection of action figures, statues, and other collectibles including special variant comics. They're not as prolific as other stores in their social media, but their stocks are up-to-date. A visit is recommended.
