Atomic City Comics — Local services in Philadelphia

I was a subscriber for many years - predating myself, the shoppe at that time was Comics & More. I was still a subscriber when they changed names and moved from 4th & South to 6th & South. The store went through many employees and even managers, including a really nice gentleman who passed away. But all-in-all, I was still a dedicated subscriber and supporter. However, that changed over 12 years ago while I waited in the store for 10 minutes for any employee to acknowledge my presence on a new comic day. I remember the one gentleman had worked at Fat Jack's prior to his stint here. I had asked if I could get my books and he simply said, "Sorry I can't help you," and continued to walk by me. Mind you, this wasn't the first time this happened, but it was the last. That day I ended my subscription and found my books elsewhere. From time-to-time I will stop in just to see what's on the shelves, but I have not bought anything from they from quite some time. They truly do not treat customers well at all. After all, as a loyal, weekly subscriber who picked up his books faithfully -I was completely disregarded. Not good customer service...

First time there (after my 2nd COVID shot) and wasn't sure what I was looking for, but glad I made a stop. I don't live nearby, so I needed to stop.

Initially I planned to come by during Xmas for a Secret Santa gift, but it meets my own interests as well.

Once I had an idea of what I wanted, it/they were not available, but that is understandable, especially during COVID. I came up with ideas once I knew what was available, but still wasn't sure they would stock it. I did walk off with an amazing Evangelion coffee table book, though.

Yes, I understand the irony of putting it on my bookshelf.

Malik (not sure of the spelling) did his best to work with a difficult(?) customer while I was there and I think he did a great job.

I'll be back. I'd been meaning to visit and I was not disappointed. I am more on the anime/manga side of things rather than traditional comics, but there was a good offering. I was allowed to use a stool to use look at items (it's all alphabetical), which was nice.

Probably a better store if you have an idea of what you want and what they stock, but I am happy with my...

As soon as we came in we were told to put our bags away despite there being a few people with bags but we didn’t think much of it so we did it anyways. Then we were constantly watched and followed. anytime I touched something a staff member immediately came over to stare at us. I ended up no longer touching anything but even then anytime I turned a corner it never failed! We ended up starting to catch the same vibe but we still tried to pretend like it wasn’t bothering us. They had a section where you can buy little toys out of a coin machine and we look behind us and it’s a staff member handing us back our bags even tho we never even asked for them??? We were a bit startled and truly just confused and it made us feel so unwanted. I’m trying to think is it because we were by the exit or like what was the reason? But we didn’t even ask for it back?? So we ended up leaving right after because with handing over the bag, they basically said get out. We get it cool store but we definitely felt...
