Comics For The Win

Super chill store with helpful and friendly staff, I love this place. Their subscription service is also a really cool feature.

Oh my goodness don’t even get me started on this place. It’s a little smaller than some comic shops, but this place is the best in every way. This place has everything going on, reading clubs, board game days, Magic: The Gathering events, trivia nights and much more. The owner is a rather charming gentleman, befriend him if you can. Support this amazing smaller business, it’s wonderful community, and I promise you won’t regret it. +1 for homemade Lumpia and singalong nights.

Excelsior!

Chill spot. Great customer service, very approachable folk, who’ll remember you, clean, organized, easy to find what you want and what you did not know you wanted, and supplies another new common interest my kids and I can share. What more can you ask for. Oh yea, easy to find and lots of parking.

Great selection, tons of TPB’s HC’s and always extremely helpful with finding any issues. A little small but it works.

My 5 year old wanted to check out some comics, so we came here. They were having a big trivia night and the place was packed. Everyone was super nice and the owner was excited that it was my 5 year old’s first comic store trip and gave him a free gift. Great to see a store like this thriving. A+.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here today based on these reviews online. I have to say I have never gotten such friendly customer service at a comic shop. The girl who helped us was so knowledgeable and friendly. If it was just because of her alone we are definitely making this THE place for us to buy our comics. But besides that, the selections were vast and the one comic we wanted and they didn’t have, they had no problem ordering for us! The art they had hanging by one of their regulars was magnificent! Not to mention games they had going on there. Nothing goes better with finding great comics than the sounds of people whoopin each other at games.

This place I great I’m just getting into reading and collecting comic books and they were really helpful and nice. Their selection was great and subscription program is the best.

husband and I stopped by over the weekend where I picked up a Star Wars Princess Leia hologram figure the guy behind the counter was pretty damned nice shower him my Star Wars tattoos and I also said I’d be back later this week to buy a few things, very nice clean establishment and radical!

Ammmaazziinnnggggg!
I just got into comics. At 32 years old. Yes, lame, I know.
Anyway — I found this shop online and went there looking for something to read, but did not know what I wanted to read.
Kris went out of his way to make suggestions, wrote down series I could google and see if I might like AND ordered me back issues so I was not reading issue 6. How much cooler can you be?!
Just went in yesterday to pick up my special order. My best friend Raquel and I (A super hot super geek). She ended up buying almost 100.00 worth of stuff and loves the store.
When we went to leave my little 63′ Volkswagen bug named Sebastian decided to be difficult and not start. Raquel tried to push to pop start it which did not work so well (would have been much better going down hill I guess). Everyone inside ran out and helped push me started and Raquel and I waved goodbye as she jumped through the passenger door of my moving vehicle — if we would have stopped, it would have died. .
Where else will the store owner help you push your rust bucket?!
A+ in my book.

This is a solid old-​school comics shop, the kind of place where I can go check out what’s new on the shelves and get my nerd on without being overrun by trenchcoated teens or judgy geek elitists. I appreciate the cleanliness and especially the focus on comics– although CFTW does host gaming, it’s apparent that the focus here is on comics/​graphic novels. The owner was friendly, laid-​back and knowledgable.

Extremely helpful and very friendly. I’ve only been to a few comic books stores in the few short months that I have started collecting, but this has quickly become my favorite.

I have visited a few comic book stores, and this has by far been my favorite. Good hours, good stock, very friendly, helpful, and all around the best place to shop. The owner, Kris, really goes out of his way to provide great customer service, and does so with a GENUINE smile! When there are special events (Free Comic Book Day, special comic launches, etc.), instead of just providing the requisite sales and offering the bare minimum, Comics FTW goes above and beyond with contests, prizes, food, and more. I felt bad switching from the other comic book store I went to regularly, but Kris made the transition easy; I don’t regret the decision in the slightest!

With the help of my good friend and Kris, the shop owner, I’ve taken up an interest in graphic novels and pick up one every month or so. The store is organized and attractive, and the owner makes every visit pleasant. Not to mention, ive also sparked an interest in Heroclix that is played regularly there. This fulfills my inner nerd!

This is only the second comic shop I’ve been to since I was real young and it totally turned my perception around. I had been to another Santa Rosa shop a little while back and never felt comfortable, wether it be asking where something is or just a suggestion on some new things. Right away Comics FTW made me feel comfortable from the second I walked in. I was greeted by the owner Chris who let me know not to hesitate to ask anything, and Julian who was working behind the counter. Both of them were very nice and explained to me about how the subscriptions work so that if I wanted a book it would be pulled for me so it’s not sold out when I pick it up. This was a great experience and if you have ever been hesitant to go to a comic shop because of the preconceived notion that you will come off as an outsider this is a great place to go because of how you feel none of that.

By far the best comic shop in Santa Rosa, and easily the best I have ever been to. Kris and Julian are always ready and willing to help you out with andy problems you may have, and are always willing to have a good nerdy chat (work permitting). His prices are more than fair, his FREE subscription service can’t be beat, and is the only retailer I know of in the area that seriously promotes and sells Heroclix.
If you don’t see something you want, you can always ask them about it, and they will probably be more than happy to order it for you, or hold a copy if it is already coming in. True believers, this is your new home!

solid shop. good stock and presentation is much better than any shop around.
much cleaner and customer friendly compared to Outer Planets, which I do like, but the overall customer experience is enjoyable. A much more welcoming feel than most comic shops.
Blows doors on Blue Moon in Novato.
Sort of tough to find, but they are just off the freeway in the same complex as the Subway sandwich shop.

Of all the comic shops I’ve spent time in, Comics FTW is by far the best. The location is very clean, well organized, and easy to navigate. Not intimidating or overwhelming at all. The owner is very friendly and willing to talk with you to help find what you are looking for and what you might be interested in. Subscriptions and special orders are available, along with a large selection of back issues. There aren’t many other options for local comic shops but if there were it wouldn’t matter, Comics FTW is by far the best. ‘Nuff said.

Thank God this store came into Santa Rosa! The other one, Outer Planes, is the worst store for customer service anywhere. I would buy from Barnes & Noble before I went in there. But FTW is great. They are super friendly and actually care about their customers and the store just has that relaxed, fun vibe to it. They also have a good deal on their subscription service and even though at my age I tend to avoid single issues (I just like having trades on my shelves as opposed to a closet full of boxes), if I did it would be here.
It’s not big, and they are relatively new so there isn’t a ton of back stock, But they have a good selection and are more than willing to track down what you need and the set up is clean and modern. It’s not downtown, but if you’re a comics fan in SR, drive there because this is the place you should be going.

I went in with a few buddies and the place was very clean, neat and had nice selection. The owner explained the In-​Store Subscription Service, perks. Nice, down to earth polite guy.
While in there both of my friends who have been in before won FREE comics. I was jealous! Also had a bunch of sweet posters for sale.
Its between fastsigns and the computer store.
