Comics-N-Stuff

Loved this place huge selection felt like a kid all over again pretty good prices compared to some other spots and super friendly staff that love what they do cant wait to go back

I only come here to pick up gifts but it is more worth to find things on amazon or go downtown to other shops.
I still see having two of the same shop in one town a bad profit move. The shop near the highway is more maintained than this one.
It is nearly dead in the store with 1 to 3 employees.
I’m giving a 1 star cause I don’t see myself coming to this one in the mall where it takes up unnecessary space and lack of interesting merchandise that justify that space.

At this location it’s huge with a great selection, however it’s best visited on weekdays and before the sun goes down. Nights and weekends there are more people visiting the store than can be assisted, however it’s still a great store nonetheless. I recommend talking to and getting assisted by the younger salespeople here because of thier knowledge of the newer stuff and they seem to be nicer.

The store itself is nice and I am sure once they settle in it will be organized, but customer service was terrible when I went. The woman who was at the check out was rude and condescending. I asked about a specific comic that I couldnt find on the walls and she gave me a lecture on what a new comics wall is and explained that it’s where «new comics go.» She has also been rude regarding covers. I bought two (different) issues of the same comic and she implied that I had no idea what an alternative cover is and that I need to be careful. I tried going back to El Cajon since the staff there is awesome, but it turns out that she works there sometimes, too. Overall, the most recent experiences I have had with these stores led me to take my business elsewhere. It’s sad since I have gone to CnS since childhood, but I can’t stand the way this woman talks to people.
Ladies, don’t shame fellow female geeks. You have nothing to prove. You just lose customers acting like jerks.

I’d actually give this more like a 2.5, but I couldn’t bring myself to round up. «Meh» actually seems like an apt description.
As far as stuff goes, this place has a ton of it. If you’re looking for a nerd gift, you’d have a difficult time NOT finding something appropriate.
On to the bad… The Magic events. I’ve been to three, two of them being prerelease events. Horrible turnout, and the «judge» decided to play in both events, giving us 13 in one event, and 9 in the other… which means someone has to take a bye every round. It also means if you need a judge you have to interrupt his game. Pretty freaking annoying, plus the guy (I believe another reviewer referred to him as «Beardie») was kinda jerky which didn’t up my opinion of the place.
As for the complaints about the rest of the employees: one girl seemed quite knowledgeable and friendly. The girl working the next day seemed slightly afraid of people and a bit on the clueless side, so… yeah. Good luck should you choose to go here.

I love comics and stuff other location but it just seems at this location you don’t get any customer service
And everytime I want to ask a question I feel so rude interrupting their conversations that never seem to end with each other lol
The last time i went in a older man was very blunt and rude when I asked him for a particular figurine.
But this will not deter me from coming back, I need my obsession of the munsters and Simpsons figures lol

This Comics-​N-​Stuff is about 3x time the size of the location in Plaza Bonita Mall. They are located up stairs next door to Crunch gym. I was very overwhelmed with the stock selection, comic books, t-​shirts, action figures and more. There was merchandise in boxes and the store didn’t look pulled together.
I wondered around the store for a few minutes with several questions but I could see only one employee and he was busy so I didn’t get a chance to experience his customer service or maybe I did.

This is hands down the best store I’ve been into in my recent return to collecting. Huge space right above Dick’s sporting goods in the mall. They have a vast selection of new comics, even some of the more rare titles. They also have a very carefully catalogues back issue library that holds many many titles, often with decent pricing.
I wish I lived out here since they offer a 10.00/year membership that gets you 20% off comics and even variants throughout the store.
The nice girl at the register even told me that their main store in Carlsbad is three times the size, I will have to make sure to check that one out next!

This place is amazing! huge building on the upstairs level of parkway. I’m recently into vocaloid and they had hatsune miku and rin /​len pop figures. They also have like, a whole wall with those pop figures lined, so you’re definitely gonna find what you’re looking for! aside from pop figures well they have, everything! posters, figures, small stuff keychains, and too much to really list here, seriously the place is huge. also a nice selection of MLP stuff. Will be back soon and definitely will check out their other El Cajon location!

This Comics-​N-​Stuff is a big warehouse full of goods. I must say I’m not really impressed with the interior but it seems it’s a work in progress. As far as products, go, it offers quite a bit. I really liked the variety and amount of goods they had, from toys to posters to of course, comics. The service was hit and miss. A gentleman simply passed me up while I was looking around and just walked around aimlessly as if he was keeping an eye on me rather than caring to see how I was doing. On the other hand, a female employee took the time to go around and acknowledge me as well as other customers. So she pretty much single handily saved this review. The size of this place is massive and there was a lot of stuff scattered all over the place. There was also a tournament area but it was very sketch and there was plenty of hardware just laying around and incomplete furniture. So considering all that, I must say I’m just satisfied with this place. Hopefully they finish fixing the place up because it has pretty good potential. The location is odd but I would guess if this store really pushed for it, it would be the go-​to destination for people in East County. I could definitely feel the potential here. I hope they capitalize on it. Definitely worth checking out for yourself.

I feel lucky!!! I was able to find series 36. I prefered the cover art with Archie’s shirt covered in blood, but it wasn’t available… at least I have it!!!
The staff here was really nice and helpful just like the other place! I will definitely be back for more Archie’s!!!

This place always has what I want and need. I went in to get a copy of the free batman book that was available (today is free comic day) and the girl behind the counter told be they are only free if I bought something which I thought was a little strange, it never had to buy anything on a free comic day. None the less I got my book and was happy. The only problem I have is the girl at the counter with the glasses. I hate being in a buisness (geared towards kids mind u) that yells at people for pressing buttons on things that say «try me». She yelled at a group of kids for pressing the bottom on a toy «Don’t press that unless your gonna buy it»… screw that girl.

I’m giving this three stars because of the selection. The negative two is due to the guy at the front. I know it’s busy because it’s free comic book day, and maybe I’m spoiled from going to San Diego comics (comix). The guy at the register, who I assume is the owner or manager, answered a personal call while ringing me out and was talking with a negative tone about the day. Instead of letting us pick a few comics and sort through them he had them behind the counter and told me to pick one and was not happy about it. I could barely even see what they were and he was so busy I felt like an inconvenience. He just wasn’t very helpful and I feel like this day should be to introduce and inspire people to get into comics, if I wasn’t already into them, I wouldn’t be any more interested.

A huge warehouse of comics, toys, and collectibles perched above Dick’s Sporting Goods inside the Parkway Plaza mall. A great way to spend a half hour perusing and reminiscing about your childhood. There is memorabilia from obscure 80’s films to an extensive Walking Dead selection. Pricing is everywhere from entry level interest or gift seeker, to serious collector.
Fans of the Travel Channel’s Toy Hunter, Comic Con devotees in the off season, or just folks young at heart should seek the shop out.
