Comic Junction — Local services in Fargo

Comic Junction... what a fantastic little niche store to have found. I've lived in Fargo for almost 20 years and was unaware of them initially. While they don't do this anymore, they used to rent Anime which was great as selections at "normal" video stores were horrible or non-existent.

Over the years things have changed, mostly in that they now only sell Anime vs. renting, but the Kip (the owner) does a wonderful job of keeping things in stock. He's also very accommodating when it comes to special orders or trying to order in back issues of comics or graphic novels.

Currently, the stock that I remember is DC, Marvel, Dark Horse and Image comics. Several Graphic Novels (Manga) are on hand with new volumes coming in and back issues being ordered. Various collectible figures, toys or other display pieces (as an example, Gargoyle themed sconces come to mind). Many used books are in stock, older titles; sadly there isn't much variety in these mostly because not many people realize these are available.

Older comics are available as well; there's a great selection of back issues, some collectible. There are some old VHS tapes available too, as well as some clothing (shirts and hoodies mostly, some hats have been in as well).

They are also looking to get into a few different collectible games. One themed on Star Wars miniatures if I recall correctly, and an anime based card game - one that crosses series rather than being for one specific series.

All in all, I would say Comic Junction is a great store, one that more people should visit. They provide an alternative location to pick up mainstream comics as well as providing several other times that (last I knew of) other stores in town do...

Let your inner nerd come out by visiting Comic Junction- cuz boy did mine!

Comics upon comics upon comics. This is what you see once you find and walk into the store. You have to go inside and up a set of stairs, then down the hall to Comic Junction’s suite. It’s very low grade and nothing at all fabulous so it’s easy to feel like you’re in the wrong place.

But what Comic Junction lacks in visual appeal it makes up for in the many different comics and knick knacks it sells, and the super sweet owner. He is totally a big comic nerd and it was awesome. I had so much fun looking through everything and chatting with him about some different issues and hero’s and such.

He really lights up when you start talking comics- you can just see how much he loves everything comics and his passion and enthusiasm for what he does. He’s in the right business, that’s for sure. And definitely check out the extremely special edition comics he keeps behind the register- sooo uber cool. Like I said, my inner nerd really showed out here.

One last thing he mentioned is that Comic Junction does no kind of advertising— the customer base is all by word-of-mouth, so consider me spreading the word to go support him!! For the...

The staff was well attuned to the wants and needs of each individual and group, which is perfect for a store with such a diverse patronage. Introverts were left to browse after a polite offer to assist where needed. People that were new to the store were assisted to the nth degree. Adults and children were treated with respect. Everyone I wintessed walk in the door was treated like a VIP. . . This is a comic store that looks and feels like it's been stuck in a time loop since 1997 in the BEST WAY possible. I visited once half a decade ago on a trip, then again this week. It's like they had the perfect Comic Book Store vehicle in place then and fine-tuned the vehicle ever since. . One...
