Maximum Comics

Really great staff. Helped me find what I wanted quickly. Even let me come in a bit after the closing bell because this store’s hours are a bit off from the others. Unilocal is telling me that this review it too short so I’m going to just keep writing until it says I’m ok. I’d feel like the bump on a pickle if I didn’t write a long enough review. Ok now I’m at average length and I’ve always been comfortable with things of average length. Good luck in all your future endeavors and gods speed!

OH MY STARS AND GARTERS !
One day removed from Free Comic Book Day, it’s time to rate Maximum Comics.
I remember going to a comic book store back in 2006 and I met this guy. No it wasn’t your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-​Man, but it was this man name Jay who was quick to answer any questions I had about comics, and even quicker to shake my hand and say thanks for coming in.
A year later the first Maximum Comics store was opened. (UP! UP! AND AWAY!) Jay hasn’t slowed down since. (HI-​YO SILVER… AWAY!) There are now four different Maximum Comics Stores (ATOMIC BATTERIES TO POWER. TURBINES TO SPEED) spread throughout the city of Las Vegas.
Looking for that hard to find comic book? Chances are you can find it at Maximum Comics. I even saw the Superman vs Muhammad Ali special from the 1970’s! (Truth, Justice, And The American Way) Down in the Maximum Wearhouse (Maximum Comics #4) I saw the entire collection of Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spiderman comics for sale as a complete collectors set!
Mein Gott! It’s Nightcrawler of the X-​Men. Sing Cowabunga for The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Maximum Comics has statues and all sorts of collectables as well. If you wanted I bet you could find a SPOON (!) or even a statue of The Tick.
Maximum Comics host special events throughout the year as well. Maximum Midnight Movies (by Crom!), at Karaōke night I am sure you could sing any song you want (Here I Come To Save The Day!) a Dinner Club (Avenger’s Assemble!). Once a month or so there is a Maximum Aspiring Artists club that get together and share their artwork. (I’m The Best There Is At What I Do).
In 2007 my first of two daughters was born, my comic collecting all but stopped. Myself and the family still walk into Maximum Comics from time to time, the girls love looking at The Teen Titans, Powerpuff Girls and Hello Kitty items for sale. (WONDER TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE!) Jay and his Legion Of Doom… err… staff at Maximum Comics, always treat my girls with the utmost of respect. Every day at Maximum Comics it’s like SWEET CHRISTMAS!
BY THE HOARY HOSTS OF HOGGOTH get to Maximum Comics, and get in on the fun!

Small, but nice.
A lot of back issue fare here. A lot of quirky toys and comics that I haven’t seen for a while, but the prices are pretty reasonably awesome, and the selection isn’t bad. A lot of the toys made me feel like I was walking through a museum, but that in itself was pretty fun. The location is a little far off the beaten path. In fact, I had never heard of the place until «Maximum Jay» mentioned in passing on his Facebook, but I would go again, as I didn’t get to fully browse through the back issues, especially Spider-​Man comics.
A fun little almost «secret» area to discover. I appreciate Vegas’ increasing commitment to geekery over the past few years.
Definitely worth the drive if you are looking for the more obscure.
