8 of 567- Nick Pett ★★★★★
Had intended to look this place out and then stumbled across it on a completely different adventure. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and gave me the best recommendations for gifts and new writers and artists to explore. A terrific range of inclusive comics and novels including independent local producers and a lovely vibe to boot. Mega recommend and would come back in a heartbeat (reader, I already did)

This place is the quintessential old-school comic book store. If you're new to the comic seen, this place is ideal, the staff are wonderful and will help curate a great reading list tailored to your interests.

Great variety of comics. However, I wouldn’t recommend buying Pokémon packs (almost $12 for stellar crown / journey together packs) here, they’re significantly overpriced, and the staff attributed it to the market even though current market values are lower than their prices. If you’re visiting for comics, Gundam kits, or other novelties, it’s still worth checking out.

A nice comic shop with a decent variety of comics. They don't have a new release shelf per se, but rather hanging tabs where the new releases are. Since I was traveling, I only got one comic as I have reservations for when I get back home.

I started getting into comics during covid and Brave New Worlds was an amazing opportunity to get out of the house. Since then it’s become a staple of my old city life. Brian and Casey are super welcoming and helpful, and I always look forward to stopping in. They aren’t a card store but they also have Pokemon cards, Magic, Lorcana, etc which is an ADDED BONUS

You can find the reading material for any age and any topic. Really cool to browse around and choose something interesting. I went with Avatar the last Airbender - good classic at this point.
