1 review for Comic Swap
I should not be the first person to review the Comic Swap, as I do not read many comics and am not a regular customer. I used to frequent this store with frightening regularity back in my D&D playing days (middle and high school) when it was called the Book Swap and focused on role-playing games. For several years now, they have focused almost completely on comics, although they do still carry some gaming books, dice, and miniatures.
There are two good things that I can say about Comic Swap:
1. Their friendly staff are knowledgeable about a wide range of comics and graphic literature, answer questions honestly and without a trace of contempt, and never give the impression that they are cooler than everyone else. Lack of arrogance and exclusivity is a huge asset to a niche store.
2. Their books are always in great shape. There is nothing on the shelves, even the regular product (i.e. the stuff besides the recently released comics, which I assume sell quickly) which appears to have been beaten up or thumbed through. I'm not sure how they control this, and it's not immediately noticeable, but it makes for a more attractive store and appealing browsing.
