I'm alive!! 💃 and I hope that everyone had a good Labor Day weekend. So, during said weekend (actually, it was a four day weekend for me, I know, lucky) on Sunday, we went to inner city Philly near Queen Village to stop by one of the best and most worthwhile comic stores, Atomic City Comics.
Now, for those of you who aren't familiar, Atomic City Comics, is absolutely one of the best comic stores you can possibly visit. It looks small from the outside, and even though it can get a bit crowded, it is always in a hustle and bustle. From the get go, you are greeted with a friendly, genuine smile (Joe was working the register) and he made us feel right at home. One of the first things that he always mentioned to every single customer was, if you have questions, feel free to ask. I loved that! There are some comic book stores, where there isn't a very friendly feeling, and specially if you have a question, it can sometimes feel like, they're doing you a favor.
That is definitely not the vibe here. Joe was welcoming to EVERYONE that walked through the door. One of the firsts things you notice is, the wall of manga. They have a really big selection of different kinds of manga, newer, older, teens, kids, etc. If you're definitely into manga, you need to check out this place.
On right hand side as you walk along, there is the section for graphic novels, in the middle on the left, are the t-shirts, apparel, etc. There's also items (Funkos, etc) near the register, and the new section is around the same area.
On the other side of the store (left hand side) you'll find collectibles, the young reader comics, and along the same wall, there will be the new single issues releases. On the right hand side of the same corridor (opposite to the apparels, etc) you'll find the posters, more pricey collectibles, some arcade machines).
For having a limited space, the store is well section, organized, and you can easily find the items you are looking for. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience (this is the second time we visited) and I cannot stress enough, how much we like going there.
The customer service (by all employees) is superb, it's an awesome environment to be in. So, if you're ever in the inner city area of Philly, stop by, because they genuinely deserve your patronage.
Btw, they will be doing the Halloween ComicFest this upcoming October, so it'll be the perfect time to drop by and say 'Hi!' 😉.
