Comics-N-Stuff

I absolutely love this place because they always have what I need in stock and order it for me if I don’t. The store is always very clean and well managed and the main worker (tall blonde guy with glasses) is super friendly. I’d definitely recommend anyone looking for some comics or any pop culture products to stop by this great store and look around because it’s become a weekly stop for me!

This is my go to place for comics! The staff is amazing and always helpful. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Overpriced vinyl figures (POPs, Hikaris). Charging $ 12.99 for a $ 6 pop is insane, especially when you can go to Hot Topic, Barnes and Noble, Toys R Us, etc and buy them anywhere from $ 8 – 10.

This place is much better now that they moved locations within the mall. They used to be in a shop about a third of the size, so obviously their inventory suffered as a result, now they have much more of a selection. My biggest gripe is that most of the non-​comic merchandise is quite over priced. I’ve seen things for $ 10 that I have bought for $ 4 or $ 5 in other shops. If they brought down their prices on those sort of items, then I would be visiting this store much more often.

Great customer service! Went in to buy my son one TMNT Mystery mini box and walked out buying 6! Great selection of mystery boxes! We will definitely be back!

Just got told by a manager «that’s not how we do things here» in front of the whole store because my nephew dropped a comic book. He apologized because I seemed upset by the comment not because he’s not smart enough to think twice about that comment. Kudos on having an idiot for a manager.

One of the best and only comic stores around in the area. Happy to see a place you can still buy and find comic books.

After they closed the store in National City, they opened this one in Chula Vista which is great, cause I no longer need to travel as far as I used to, to get my comic fix. The staff is very friendly with a decent collection of comics and toys.

My last review of this place was two years ago. Since then I’ve grown to enjoy this location a lot more. The employees seem to jump to other Comics-​N-​Stuff locations, so one month they might be here and another they might be at El Cajon. In any case, I like this spot a lot. Especially since they’ve renovated the mall a bit. It makes the visit more enjoyable.

Amazing selection of comics, animé, and tons of stuff.
I love the deals of their comics. You can find several comic books for only a $ 1. I consider this as a mini comic con.
I let my inner geek splurge.

This one has a nice selection of Comics and toys. Its also really organized, if there is any problem the Manager is a nice guy and will fix it for you. Don’t believe these guys claiming they don’t hold books for you, if anything their really good about it. I recommend any comic or toy fan to give it a try. My only gripe is that it’s in a mall and I hate malls.

Small place with good customer service.

It was the first time that I walked in to that location last week. It took a few seconds when one of the employees approached me and asked if I needed help, both of the guys seemed to be doing inventory but were more than willing to help me out.
I initially went to get a Walking dead Comic (who doesn’t now in days) but also to get another comic… One of the associates really recommended me «Chew» Honestly I never would’ve bought it if it wasn’t for his great recommendation, and don’t regret purchasing it either! Great service! will definitely shop there again!
Pros:
— Great Customer Service
— They actually make good recommendations based on what you like
— Everything is well organized!!!
— Employees know right away were everything is at!!!
Cons:
— Store too small :(

Small place but you always find what you need.

Years ago, this used to be one of the only Comics-​N-​Stuff around so it held a better selection. Now that there’s tons of them everywhere, selection has been strategically placed.
Don’t get me wrong, this is an awesome store because it has somewhat of a good selection of comic books and toys.
The guy who works here has been working here for years so he knows regulars and opens conversations to newer customers. I like that, that makes me want to stick around longer.
Best of all $ 1 back issues!
Cool store.

The customer service is great. The guys know me when I come in and they treat me like one of their friends. A shout out to Kevin, he’s always good about recommending good books and is not biased at all. He’s very knowledgable on artwork and writing and goes out of his way to please people.

When I first came to San Diego alomost 15 years ago, I found it quite hard to find a comic book store that met my needs I tried first with Amazing Al’s comics and fromthat store it seemed they were more considered about business than the customer. Then I found out another chian of comic book stores called Comics — N– Stuff, were I met Theron Jacobs and Kevin Rummage. Both of these gentlemen go beyond just being a store employee, they have the style and attitude where they meet and greet every customer and treat them as if they were one of the family at this store. To me this is very important today in the market. Because other places I have gone just treat you like a number and want to get you through the store as quickly as possible.
I don’t get this feeling from Theron or Kevin, they take their time with each customer to make sure they have the best shopping experience possible. And also another benefiet of them both is that the enjoy what they are doing and they are able to relate the customer. Especially for myslef as an avid comic collector I am able to talk and discuss comics and other related issues and they are able to relate themselves to the subject. Traits like Kevin’s and Theron are hard to find in todays market, becasue of the rarity of the breed, where money has become the botto, line today in the market, vice the customers needs.
Keep up the good work.

I like Comics N Stuff only because it’s the only book store around in the south bay area! However the guys at the Chula Vista mall location are pretty cool, and I will usually only shop there. Only reason I didn’t give it a better rating is because of the owner Ed. I hate him, every time I’ve been in one of his stores when he’s in there, he’s rude, and unprofessional. I took my daughter with me to a store once and he was casually speaking to his employee, and would just curse up a storm, so I left cuz I didn’t want my daughter to hear him. Also what the hell is up with moving your stores every other month?! Can’t you keep a location and stick with it?! I’m also not a fan of stores that don’t support the little guy. No Indy Sections for local artist, just name brand. That just tells me no passion for the industry just $$$$!

I have shopped here a few times. It didn’t blow me away.
Made some small talk with the clerk and he seemed genuine. He said he would hold some issues for me after i contacted him by email. I sent my friend that’s a girl to pick up the comics and she said he didn’t hold them for me. But he did manage to try to impress her with his cool Iphone application.
Way to put customers first you liar. I’ll take my business elsewhere.
Not the worse i’ve seen, but i’ve seen way better.
note: i forgot that they have a lot of these comics and stuff stores, the one i’m talking about is at the Chula Vista Mall.

First off, let me apologize to Kevin. I didn’t mean I didn’t like Batman. I’m just more into the indie comic stuff. That look you gave me made me feel like I offended you somehow. But I’d take Batman over Superman any day (If drawn correctly…).
Anyway, I must say that I usually go out of my way to visit the local comic book shops. The chain store stigma that the name Comics-​N-​Stuff carries leaves a sour taste in my mouth much like the taste of a Starbucks coffee beverage. But one thing I did forget were the people who run these stores. The woman at the Plaza Blvd. location made it feel like I was an imposition by being there just cause it was 10 minutes until closing. But it’s a smaller venue so whatever.
Kevin was like a comic wiki. My sister was looking for a comic of which the name escaped her and he knew exactly what she was looking for with just a brief description. Who enjoys their job that much to actually you know, be knowledgeable about it. Take that Nelson’s Camera Supply.
It was nice that he actually tried to start a conversation with me, the socially awkward introvert who’d have trouble conversing with an android much less a real human being. And every time a customer came in he’d be quick to offer assistance. And not in the intimidating way that most sales clerks do that make me want to run right out of the store.
And the 1 $ comic sale was enough to put a smile on my broke college student face. So thank you Kevin for a pleasant shopping experience.
