Comic Universe — Local services in Ridley Township

This is not my regular comic shop, in fact it's almost an hour from where I live based on traffic. I can't express how frustrating that is after being here only once and being thoroughly impressed.

I took a day off to drive around and hunt for missing back issues to fill in some gaps in my collection. One book I wanted, ASM #12 (2018) has been vexing me to no end. This shop marked my 7th store that day to check for it (and other books).

After digging through their generously stocked bins the owner and I started talking and he was curious what I was looking for. After checking his computer and having me check a specific box that may have had a variant he asked for my number. He was willing to check his personal collection and sell me his copy if he had it.

A few days go buy and he calls to tell me no luck and I thank him for trying, being really impressed already.

A week later I get another call, he found it. My man had called other stores and found a copy over in Camden at Fat Jack's. He then offered to have them ship it to him (or me directly) so I could fill that gap. I declined the offer but made a point to stop in for it later on.

That is some next level dedication to not only his store, and his customers but the whole of comic collecting and enjoying itself. I had to share this story with the world and hope you can make this place your LCS of choice even if it's too far from me to...

My kids got early on a Saturday because today was supposed to be " free comic book day" . What a disappointment we got there and it was a line then at 10 people starting to go in but the guy at the door wouldn't let everyone in so my kids and two other men stayed outside. Then people came out but they still wouldn't let them in then I asked the other guy why and he said it was subscribers first and that moment someone showed up that's was "a subscriber" and went right in. Nobody ever mentioned that if you are not a subscriber you don't matter you can wait all day if subscribers keep on showing up. The guy never came to us waiting on line and explain. We just left angry and disappointed. We will never be back awful...

Great experience. I stopped here with my husband who loves comics and our 9 month old as we were on our way home from grocery shopping. My husband has been here a few times in the past.

Usually I wouldn't want to take the baby to a comic book store because babies can be loud and distracting. However, the owner, John was very nice to us despite the babbling/screaming baby in a stroller. John was very knowledgeable and friendly.

There is a Pac Man video game that I played while I waited for my husband to browse the comics. John even gave my husband a few free comics because my husband told him it has been a while since he read Nighthawk and had to get back into the series. I'm sure my husband...
