Action City Comics and Toys

I went in today to ask questions about Buffy the vampire slayer comic books and the woman who helped us was so incredibly nice and helpful!!! I’ve never bought comics before and had no idea where or how to start and she was wonderful and sweet in explaining how the numbers and volumes worked. Wonderful customer service and wonderful place!

Awesome selection of collectibles and TPBs. They of all the new mainstream comics every week and they guys who work in the shop are cool people. Setup a box and you’ll be happy here. Definitely come in if you want to find some big action figures or grab a bunch of the TPBs that you’ve missed out on. They really have a sizable collection for the size of the store. This place is jam packed. Prices are standard.

This comic shop reminds me of when I was 10 yrs old and would wait for the weekend to ride my bike and get comics. Jim is very knowledgeable and has yet to fail me with new recommendations. He has a very good selection and also provides boxes for his regulars to receive their favorite comic book subscriptions. I’ve been going to the shop for three years and have had nothing but awesome experiences and amazing customer service. This shop is a hidden gem and by far the best comic shop in Washington.
Pros:
*Vast selections of comics
*Knowledgeable personnel
*Personalized comic book boxes for selected subscriptions
* Area is close to several eateries (if you just want to grab a burger and read some comics)
* Loyal to customers and amazing services
* Fully stocked 99% of the time
Cons:
* It has been three years and I still haven’t found one.

Super nice staff who are very knowledgeable and give great suggestions. If you aren’t sure what to read next, just tell them what you’re in the mood for!

Jim, his wife, and his mom run this place… a true American Mom & Pop store. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, and worth visiting. There are other larger stores around, but nobody does service like these guys, and that’s why I still buy paper instead of going digital.
Give ‘em a shot. They’re good people.

I love this shop. One of my favorites in Washington. Jim is the best, and such a solid guy.

Jim really helped me get an amazing comic statue. He gave me a great deal and was extremely helpful with all my questions. Totally trustworthy businessman!

I’ve been going to Action City Comics for a while now, ever since I got back into reading and collecting comic books. Action City was one of the first places I went because of the location and the longevity of the store.
Jim (the owner) is a straightforward, fun loving, knowledgeable guy. He’s got a great personality and I love working with him to get books that I’m looking for. He’s always happy to answer questions and constantly checks on his customers to make sure everything is going well. I’ve seen him interact with a variety of people and he’s always been fair, direct, and friendly. He is one of those people who can talk to literally anyone, about anything and is able to find common ground with his customers.
I keep my pull box open at Action Comics because it gives me a reason to look at new stuff, browse old back issues and maybe pick up a toy. I’ve never had a bad experience as his store, even when it’s busy he does a great job about keeping everything orderly and meeting his customers needs. I’d recommend this store for anyone looking for comic books, toys or back issues. I’ve been to every comic book store in the greater Seattle area and this one ranks in the top 3 for me. There’s a reason he’s been open for as long as he has been, he’s constantly fulfilling his customers needs and provides a friendly warm environment.

I love this mom and pop comic shop. They have constant fully stocked shelfs and a vast selection of titles. The store owner and his wife are extremely friendly and are always able to find exactly what I’m looking for. If by some small chance that they cannot find the title that I’m looking forward then they are always eager to offer to order the title for me. Forget all those big chains that want nothing to do with their customers except for getting into their wallets, this store has friendly service, great selection, and everything you need to make your comic shopping experience perfect.

My siblings and I had a recent interest in collecting Funko Pop vinyl figures and new comic books, so while in vacation in Washington we decided to check this place out.
We we’re really impressed with the service and selection of items that they have at this establishment. It’s a very friendly and organized store for comics which are sold at face price. As for figures, there are a wide variety to choose from (including some uncommon Funko Pops). The workers here show a lot of care for their customera and are concerned without being obtrusive.
If we lived near the area we would definitely make this our usual comic store and if we’re ever in the area again we’d come back.

I went here just have a look around and ended up buying a few comics. The owner and his wife are really nice and out going. The owner is very knowledgeable and willing to do his best to get what you need if he doesn’t have what you are looking for. Some of the back issues are a little over priced. There is a whole wall dedicated to new comics, and they will pull new comics for you if you would like. Overall a fun place to go to!

The best place to go for new comics. I’ve been here every Wednesday for a few years now. Jim is very honest about his dealings, I’ve been to other shops that will make promises on stuff they can’t deliver.
He stocks toys, clothes, and other stuff besides comics.

This is my go-​to comic book shop. Not only because it’s in my area but because the owner is so friendly. Jim helped me out as I started collecting comics and suggested most of the comics that I still read to this day. I go so often that I’ve become a box owner. Definitely the best COMIC/​TOY store in the area. #CountOnJim

Been coming here since I was in 4^th grade. … I am now 27. Love this shop! Best place for statues and back issues around by far!

Friendly staff, great collection of toys and comics. I took my nephew here and he was in comic book heaven! The salesperson was extremely helpful and gracious. Indeed, the store is a bit small but they manage to cram a lot into such a small space.

The Seattle Comic-​Con revived my love for comics and I wanted to visit a comic store to score me some new comics. I found this place on Unilocal and from what I can say, this place is awesome! The owner is very accommodating and the selection of comics is endless

This is my favorite comic book store in Washington. Everyone is extremely helpful and are always willing to assist you with any questions you have regarding their products. In addition, they have a fantastic selection and periodic sales definitely matching those you can find online. Thanks for creating a perfect atmosphere for comic fans. Keep it up!

My go to comic book store. Owner and staff are very helpful. Prices are fair and a very good shopping experience. Don’t normally write reviews but this rating was far too low due to a stupid one star review. Don’t hesitate to go here :)

Absolutely love this shop. The owner is always super friendly and helpful. The shop is a bit small, so it tends to get a bit crowded in there from time to time but that’s no biggie for me. I would always drive past this shop and never noticed it until one day my boyfriend pointed it out. I decided to give it a shot & I’m glad I did. Seriously, Action City rocks: D

This is our family’s go-​to shop for comics, toys, and shirts. The owner is super nice and helpful and so is the lady who works there (I want to say she’s his family in some way — it would make sense, they are both super nice). The pricing is competitive and the selection is top notch. Whenever anyone asks me where to buy comics, I send them here.
