  It's cool to have a comic book store in Beaverton with a pretty solid selection. I haven't yet been to the other locations so I'm not sure how this one compares, but on its own, they fit a lot in the space they have. They also have other collectibles, including figurines and posters, usually related to fandoms and geek culture. The workers here are friendly and helpful, mostly keeping to themselves, which I appreciate. Prices are reasonable as well.

  I’ve been a customer here for several decades. Always friendly and knowledgeable staff and great selection of new release comic books. The box customer program is awesome. consistently through the years the staff takes the time to get to know customer preferences and recommends new titles. I’ve also picked up quite a few awesome statues and action figures. While the product offerings vary over time with consumer preferences, it is the excellent customer service that keeps me coming back.

  If you love comics, anime, card games, and any other of form of fiction. This is the place to go. A little bit hidden because there isn’t a big vibrant sign outside, but that makes it feel more hidden. In a good way, feels like a club you know exist. Regardless they deserve a lot of more hype. I’ve bought posters, figures, comics, and even birthday presents. Bought invincible compendium 2. The show was too good not to read and see what happens next

  Salem was absolutely incredible! Not only was he super knowledgeable with tons of great comic recommendations, but he also took the time to chat with me about some of my favorite characters especially the Flash family. It felt like talking to a friend who genuinely loves comics as much as I do. Honestly, this was hands-down the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. If you're a comic fan, you’re in great hands with Salem!

  Love this store! Even though the Milwaukie store, in my opinion, will always be the best TfaW store and no bookstore will ever surpass Powell's on Cedar Hills and Burnside for me, this store had great merchandise, and a large selection of comics, graphic novels, and manga. It even got me into the Unnatural and 3keys series, as well as help me discover Cat Massage Therapy and Stray dogs. Highly recommend for Beaverton locals into pop culture including comic culture, plus, the staff were nice, and the website, despite some issues, is up-to-date for those willing to buy for in-store pickup.

  A good selection of all things nerdy! I've picked up and pre-ordered, comics and D&D supplies. The staff are always super friendly and the store is clean. It can get cramped but it's never been too much of an issue.

  Long-time customer, but the customer service now is nonexistent. On multiple visits I was the only person in the store and wasn’t acknowledged at all; no "hello" and the associate at the counter wouldn't even look up at me. If you don’t want customers, that message definitely came through.

  Possibly the worst customer service I've ever received, associate Salemi refused me bag and board even though I was willing to pay for it and he had a stack of bag & boards sitting next to the register. I asked about tomorrows releases, and he told me, "if you don't have a box you should just go to Cosmic Monkey, we won't have what you're looking for." He was rude, unhelpful and smug. Ill return and shop again after he has been let go.
