Pop Culture Comix

Great shop, soo much product it is kind of hard to find what your looking for. Nice staff but all in all, good.

Nice, clean store. Well organized. The older guy working the counter was kind of quiet like others mentioned but was plenty friendly when approached. Prices seemed a little high.

Same experience. Owner is a jerk. Haven’t and won’t be back.

Old guy with silver hair is a jerk.
I came in with my kids and he couldn’t bother to help the ONLY PEOPLE IN HIS STORE.
I asked a few questions because I was looking for a few issues for my kids, and was given a grunt and a wave.
I’d rather take my chances with overpaying on eBay than deal with this guy again.

In today’s economy, customer service and selection are essentials a brick-​and-​mortar store must possess in order to survive. I have visited this place 2 – 3 times. While I have found the selection to be about average, on each visit I have greeted the shopkeeper with a friendly and positive attitude only to receive disregard and even outright disdain in return. For example, he couldn’t be troubled to assist a customer who waited patiently for several minutes as he incessantly dicked around on his cell phone. The shopkeeper acts as if people are an annoying presence in his personal space rather than a potential customer in his place of business. Courtesy, respect and kindness are clearly not part of this man’s skill set. I am shocked that this store has stayed afloat for this long. The impending failure of this business will surely be met with resounding applause from the surrounding community.

Been there Two Times in past two months-​Old man in there is very Disrespectful-​Rude-​both times. Showed him some comics I had and had no clue on what they were or the condition they were in. Never said we wanted to sale them, just wanted Info on the condition and value. Flipped thru the first comic and said NOT INTERESTED so i left. I called him up and let him know his customer service is not good at all and I will never go there again-that’s not how a business is ran buddy if you do read this. THEN you had the nerves to call my home phone back-​Never will I go to that place again in my life. Hope you go bankrupt soon.

Walked in and not acknowledged despite being only customer. No offer to help
Good assortment of figurines but felt like Invisible Man

Best comic shop I have been to in years. They have a really great store. Sid is super nice, he will happily chat with you and he will remember your name when you come back in time after time. They have DC Marvel, IDW, Darkhorse, Archie and more.
So many comics to choose from and they even have a kids section in the back for stuff like Sonic the Hedghog, My Little, Pony and more. So if you like that you can get those here to besides the more popular things. They also sell all sorts of Graphic Novels and busts and figures of all kinds.
They also have older issues for sale as well as a few box’s of older variant covers. They also provide a loyalty card where you buy so many comics you get one free but the best idea is to subscribe to to comics using there website and comixology. You can get a bit of a discount when you subscribe.
They even sell comics supply’s, bags and boards. The store also participates in Free Comic Book Day, helping to raise food for the hungry.

New to this area, the first thing my family did was to find a comic book store. After all, this is where we spend most of our time (and money). We were met with rudeness and employees who didn’t care if we were there. I had a literal stack of comics in my hands (since I had not been to a comic book store since moving) and my husband dared to push the «Try Me» button on the toys on the wall. There was no sign telling him not to touch, and he wasn’t a kid pushing buttons for fun, but because he was interested in the item and wanted to know what it did. He was told rudely not to touch because it wears down the batteries. If this is the case, then either put up a sign asking people politely not to touch, put those items behind the counter, or get new batteries. How are customers supposed to know what sounds a toy makes if they can’t use the handy, built-​in «Try Me» function that the manufacturer puts on the toy? Further, I wouldn’t tell customers that have a huge stack of comics in their hands not to try something out. I put back about half the comics and only walked out with the «essentials».
Then we went back to the store (you know, second chances) and the guy working there was just not overly friendly, didn’t seem to care he had customers. The third time we tried, we had one comic to buy. Asked about board and sleeves (didn’t ask the first time we bought since in CA everyone charges for them), and were told it was in the corner. Had to walk to «the corner» to get our own. Then was told they don’t run cards under $ 5 (again, didn’t see a sign). Asked, «Didn’t you bring cash to buy that?» This is a debit card world so sorry, we didn’t bring cash. He snatched back the comic and said, «Sorry!» Left without the comic.
WOW. Not ever going back, even though it’s close to home, carries lots of comics and action figures/​statutes. We’ll take our massive amount of business (which we spend a TON on comics and action figures/​statues) to a store that cares about their customers and welcomes in new consumers. I’d rather pay shipping for my items than go back.

Pop culture Comix is awesome! If action figures is what you live for… THIS is the comic book store for you! Hands down. If your looking for older back issues. sadly smaller selection bit still always fun to look through. Has great selection in Image and Independent comics! Also in Marvel and DC respectively! They have back issues in the comics newly coming in selection at cover price which I love catching up on Comics I just started reading (ex. Suicide squad or Batman INC.) Then uou can look through 8 long boxes worth of variants if that’s what you need! Just picked up a few older batmans there #3!!! My favorite store to pick up my new list of comics :)

It’s been some months into the rebooting of my teenage comic book habit and I am really happy with PCC. Sid always has my stuff for me, knows about new titles to suggest, and doesn’t mind my endless browsing of his little shop.
I know that lots of comic book readers can be fanboyish, but stop in sometime and just relive that smell of your younger days. You might pick up a title. DC is probably at their best in decades, Valiant has recently relaunched, and Image and Marvel continue to put out good product.

If there’s one thing I love about Comic Shops, it’s how much merch they can fit into small spaces. Very rarely do you find a shop in some high-​rent, high-​footage locale, that’s just not the way they roll. Pop Culture is no exception, and it’s so much more than comics, though I doubt he’s missing many titles in that regard. Great selection of statues, collectibles, shirts, posters, etc, and perhaps the best selection of Action Figures in JoCo. Though it’s a small market, he also has a great choice of kid’s comics for the newest fans at home.
The owner has always been friendly and helpful, and definitely is worthy of your patronage. Be sure to check this place out the next time you’re headed down to old OP.

Best comic store in Kansas City metro area, bar none. I’ve been going to this store for 9+ years and even shopped at the old store in Mission before that, and I’ve had nothing but luck.
Looking for new comics that came out on Wednesday and it’s Saturday? He’ll more than likely have the one you’re looking for, or he’ll order you a copy if you want. Looking to complete a run on a recent comic series? He’s got a bunch of books still on the shelves, and tons more in the longboxes, bagged and boarded.
It won the Best Comic Shop for Pitch Magazine for a reason. He has a little bit of everything. Comics, toys, shirts, everything. This is the place to buy comics and this is the place that I will always buy comics. Clean, easy to find what you’re looking for, just the best place to go.
Anything else I can say nice about it, you can assume I mean it. I love this shop and travel over 20 miles every week just to get my comics from Pop.

Pop Culture is definitely a hidden gem. While some comic book shops have a secondary (or in some cases, primary) focus on gaming, you won’t find that at all here. You’ll find collectibles, t-​shirts, and of course, comics. The owner is a very friendly, and is always willing to make recommendations.
He carries all the DC and Marvel titles, and also carries books by smaller publishers. I’ve never had a problem finding a title at Pop Culture. Everything is well-​organized.

If you’re a pop culture junky, you owe it to yourself to check out Pop Culture Comix. To be sure, they have loads of comic books, but there’s so much more packed into this little store. I went in for a quick look around only to find myself browsing the trading cards, nostalgic gifts, books, games and accessories, all the while wishing I was a kid again.
When I think comics I think of the «man» characters — Superman, Batman and so on. Pop Culture Comix had these guys and so many more: Xmen, Hulk, The Fantastic Four, Marvel & DC characters. All of the good guys and bad guys were there. The store’s action figures ranged from music personalties like Alice Cooper and Elvis to cartoon, movie, and TV characters. Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or a Simpsons junky, Pop Culture Comix can hook you up.
I’ve always considered comic books a «guy» thing, so I was surprised to see all the female characters that Pop Culture Comix carries. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, She Hulk, Wonder Woman, Vixen, Hawk Girl, Dark Ivory … you name her, they probably have her comic, her figurines or both.
I had a great time looking around, and I saw some potential gift items that I haven’t seen anywhere else. I also take comfort in knowing that if I ever need a Buffy fix or a 1950s TV Guide reissue, I know just where to go.
