  • I recently visited Phoenix on business. Let me tell you: while in Phoenix, this is the shop to see. Don't even bother with the rest. Dreadnought comics is one of the best dealers I've experienced and one of the most enjoyable shops you'll find anywhere. Being from Tucson, I've always wanted to visit and check out the great variety of comic vendors in our much larger, next door neighbor. Well, I went to 6 different shops over a period of two days, and I'm sad to say I was incredibly disappointed by all! Ranging from utter, catastrophic disorganization--with issues randomly splayed across counters-- to having everything for the current month while maintaining little or no back issue stock, Phoenix's shops left me wondering what the local scene had to offer over a standard magazine rack. I was impressed at each of these 6 shops by the charming layouts, collectible toys, cards, gaming atmosphere, and drink options. But isn't the entire point of running a comic shop to be good at selling comics? That means being organized, knowledgeable, having back issues on hand, and offering a variety of TPB/graphic novels. Many shops in Phoenix have mastered one or more of these aspects, but not all. Are you in business to sell drinks or play cards? Then, open a Boba Tea shop. Or form a club and rent out the Holiday Inn. But... If you should choose to label your shop as being a comic book dealer, then you had better back it up. I'm pleased to say that the 7th shop I visited, Dreadnought Comics, backs their claim quite well. They are well organized, have high grade back issues galore, and offer runs/ sets available in bulk, at 9.2-9.8 condition. They have the most impressive wall display I've ever seen. Using door sized, glassed walls to display comic rarities allows their customers to flip through dozens of collector's items at our leisure. The rows of back issue boxes are alphabetically organized by title. All long boxes are neat, well marked, and fit snugly into filing cabinet drawers. A simple pricing system using sticker color makes "grab and go" a very real option. To top it off, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. This one comic book shop single-handedly redeemed my view of the comic scene in Phoenix. Well done, Dreadnought Comics! Hope to visit you again soon.
