| - Maximum Comics is the comics store I frequent locally the most. It is also the newest location for them in town, luckily it's near me!
Life-size Hulk statue? Check. Airy, bright atmosphere? Check. Checkerboard tiling? Check. Scentsy smelling bathroom? Check. Comics and all things nerdy? Check!
Gone are the days of comic book stores that look like your Mom's crowded basement with a 40-year-old virgin living in it. By the way, I do appreciate those types of stores (focus is on the books - man) but sometimes you wanna liven it up! Go somewhere warm! Better yet, bring your kids so you can teach them how you really learned to read! Yes, I learned more vocabulary from my busted up copy of Iron Fist #14 (the first appearance of Sabretooth) than I did from a week of school! Psst...Marvel...by the way...you NEED to make Iron Fist a damn big @$$ blockbuster film. Add Michael Jai White or Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as Luke Cage and you'll be golden.
Maximum Comics has everything you need to fill that comic itch you want to scratch. Everything is laid out easily for browsing in neat, tidy sections. Did I mention how much I love clean and organized? Shop owner Maximum Jay knows how to keep a store runnin' tight & right. No dingy, moldy, musky smells! New comics section, graphic novels, back issue drawers, statue cases, and stacks & stacks of wonderful toys!
Need the latest issue of Walking Dead? Got it. How about the 1 in 100 black & white sketch variant? Got it. A signed copy of Guardians of the Galaxy by Brian Michael Bendis? Got it. Limited edition of the Nightwing one-shot? Got it. Marvel Universe figures? Got it. Walking Dead's Daryl with motorcycle action figure? Got it. Uber cool prints by Ninjabot? Got them too!
Even if I go on the interweb (honoring you IT Crowd lovers there) to get majority of my comics for competitive pricing, I always stop by Maximum Comics first to check them out. Sometimes you just want a comic or toy NOW instead of waiting for shipping.
If you want a free pull box for your monthly favorite issues, Maximum Comics has that too! I can't afford a bunch of them monthly anymore, but I do indulge in a pull box of all the latest from the Walking Dead. I can pick up my issues at my convenience, not worry that there won't be a copy for me, each book comes with bag & board, and all for the same low price! Can't get much better than that.
Crew at Maximum Comics is on point as well. Friendly, definitely knowledgeable, and geeked out on all the latest in comic book and graphic novel trends. I do notice though that they do need a person with more toy experience...hmm...you guys got an opening part-time? Eh? My services in Star Wars, Marvel Universe, and Walking Dead toys know no bounds.
Recently visited on the last Free Comic Book Day, and it was a madhouse! Line out the door, Jango Fett, Donatello, and a Stormtrooper running everywhere. I think I saw Spiderman somewhere in there too. What a day of fun for the whole family! Only thing that disappoints me about Maximum Comics is that they limit their free stuff to only 5 items. Only 5! But I do get that they have a lot of folks to serve. Free is free!
Maximum Comics = Maximum delivery! I shall return! Even if only to take a pic with my buddy life-size Hulk.
