Chris’s Comics

Chris is a nice guy if a bit aggressive in terms of salesmanship. He recommended me an HP Lovecraft graphic novel by Alan Moore, and it was a lot more explicit than I had expected. Still trying to digest the book before I return, but definitely exceeded expectations.

I like this place because the guy who works there (Not Chris, have never met Chris), is the nicest person ever. We have been there a few times to see what they have and also to check on special order. The guy there is always willing to explain stories we haven’t read and just a great guy. Support the local business!

Chris’s Comics was my go to place for my Comic Book fix a few years back. Now, it’s my family’s go to place for Pokemon cards. He has the best prices and have loads of loose cards to fill in the gaps in your collection.

If you have the patience, then yes, go here. If you don’t, then this place is actually worth making time for and planning ahead. Keep in mind that there are a lot of comics, the only down side is that you have to dig for them. So expect to be here for over an hour going through boxes if your looking for anything in particular. And keep in mind that most of their items are based off the average prices on ebay without the shipping or better.
Also, make sure you deal with Chris directly and no one else. He’s actually a cool guy. He is very friendly and will help you find things if you are looking for anything specific. The few times I called to ask if he had something in stock, he would actually stop what he’s doing and give you the time of day to find your item and put them on hold.
He even creates a great atmosphere for teens and young adults. I came in one time and just saw a bunch of his customers hanging out and watching tv. It’s good to know that he would rather have them hang out in his shop watching tv, rather then having them out in the street doing things they shouldn’t be doing. What a great way to invest in today’s youth.

Second time here and Chris once again exceeds all my expectations. Got a nice discount on some awesome Pokemon cards to add to my brand new collection plus I got this really cute Baymax (Big Hero 6) POP doll. I love it, everything I got today has made me so happy and I can’t wait to come back!

From San Jose, came all the way out to Fremont to explore their comic shops. I was very satisfied with chris’s collection of silver, bronze age comics. Best comic shop in Fremont by far! Found a few key issues i couldnt find anywhere else. And got a great price. Made my day!

This is the best comic book shop around. I like to support local businesses and highly recommend you go here. Chris is very friendly and works with the customers. The new shop is much bigger and has a very impressive layout. Couldn’t ask for a better owner than Chris!

Great selection of comics, So good I tend to lose track of time looking through everything. They have many collectible comics and memorabilia as well. I didn’t know about this place until coming across it on Unilocal.I’m glad I found it.

Wow… what a dump. Just a bunch of guys sitting around a table playing a game. No care in the world that I was even there. This is a mess. Didn’t even see a counter or cash register to even buy anything. Go somewhere else. What a wasted trip. 0 stars.

By far one of my favorite places to visit in Fremont when I need my comic book fix. Staff is very friendly and knows a lot about the comics they sell. I’d definitely recommend this shop to anyone who enjoys great customer service and wide selection of comics.

I have been counting on Chris for my comic/​super hero needs for 15 years, yes FIFTEEN YEARS! He knows exactly what I like and what I would buy and or be interested in. How wonderful right? To have a place I can go where I feel comfortable and confident in the fact that I’m getting Wonderful prices and awesome prices. It is AMAZING to have a relationship with my comic retailer as I do. He is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about SO many different artists, new editions and all the characters of your favorite series. ALSO, he is deeply invested in our community. He has been giving kids and adolescence youth a place to go for a VERY long time. As a teenager His shop was a a safe place for me to go and I don’t know where I’d be today without him. Honestly. As a Union City Native I drive to his shop from my new home in Livermore. YES it is WORTH the drive!
Wouldn’t you like to have peace of mind like that? A wonderful place to go for any and If so, Give Chris’s comics a try. You will NOT regret it! Support your local comic store!

Absolutely awesome place!!! Chris is really cool and he’s knowledgable about comics, super heroes, vigilantes, and heroes. I am definitely coming back here. This pace is awesome and Chris can do special orders which I am soo happy about it. This is going to be my place to shop for comic books, action figures and etc.

My girls love coming to this hidden gem. It’s behind the KFC on Fremont Boulevard. Stopped by here this past Saturday for more Pokemon cards for the little one and Comics for the teen. Chris was so nice to my little one, and encouraged her to play in the Pokemon tournament. As we drove away, the teen said «I really like coming to this place. He never treats me like a stupid gamer girl that knows nothing about comics, and he’s always so nice to Yanna (my little one) and doesn’t treat her like a little kid.» I’m happy that my kids feel welcomed here. Oh, and the prices are very reasonable, too!

Pokemon tournament sundays at 5pm!
The customer service here is excellent! I was super surprised when entering this store. Tons and tons of new and old comics! I must say its a little small but thats where the fun part comes in (digging for gold)
They have a small back room of unorganized comics but came across some good ones. Make sure when you arrive that you have enough time on your hands to search through this store, it may take awhile =)
Definately coming back here!
P.S this store is a little hard to find, good luck! =)

The shop experience is a really positive one. Had a great selection of the big two publishers. I even got a discount. Five stars for sure.

Chris and Heather run the shop very well. They are very knowledgeable about products and take time to get to know their customers. Highly recommended for comics and hobbies alike!

Chris’s shop is comic and gaming heaven incarnate! It’s location is deceptively ideal too. A ton of gamer friendly food choices surround it, and within you will find everything your nerd heart could desire. I’ve been to more than a few comic shops in my day and there are more often than not, TWO types of shops… shops where you go to grab your book (s) and don’t really feel comfortable/​welcome staying longer than 15 minutes, and shops where you feel an ineffable sense of welcome. The later is Chris’s Comics. You can come in and talk and browse for hours and not realize you’ve spent half your day in there.

This place has an awesome amount of back issues. I was very happy to find comics that I can’t find at otter comic book shops. The prices were great. I found lots of comics in very good condition at great prices. The owner was very knowledgeable about comic books, very friendly, helpful, and had great customer service. I was very impressed with this comic book shop and I will definitely be going back there regularly.

My boyfriend and I were both looking for comics to add to our collections that we were having trouble finding elsewhere. We popped into Chris’s Comics and not only did we find some of the things we needed, but other cool things that the owner suggested! And he didn’t hesitate to offer to call around and find/​order the other things we were missing, very helpful and honest and friendly. He knew a lot about things we were interested in and had many facts and tidbits about them that we didn’t know before — he’s super knowledgeable.
Other than that, there are TONS of things here; action figures, graphic novels, etc. And (…what seems like!) thousands of boxes of comics to look through. An awesome place to find something old, something new, something interesting! Definitely my favorite local comic book spot.

When I first met Chris (the owner of Chris’s Comics obviously) he first used to reside in C & J’s Collectibles. Being a new first time customer, he always has been honest, kind, and very respectful whenever I come to his shop.
This place is amazing! He carries Graphic Novels, Comics, Collectible Action Figures, Art books, you name it! If there is anything that he doesn’t have, he always offers to find it for you on the side to make sure that you (the customer) is happy.
So far I have been coming to this location since it first opened up, and I have never regretted coming here instead of my old comic shop (location in Castro Valley). It is unfortunate that I can only provide 5 stars maximum for this review, since I definitely would provide more if possible! Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions on details.
