Best comic shop that I have ever shopped at...Superior customer service, friendly (and knowledgeable) staff, incredible selection and, always quick to help me acquire whatever I am looking for.I have been a collector for 27 years now and TIME WARP is by far the best store that I have ever frequented. They always make sure I get my weeklies and they go a step above and beyond when it comes to selling rare variants at cover price. The staff is always on-point with title suggestions and they are a delight to chat with. I love this shop and I am grateful that it exists.

As someone relatively new to actually reading comics, the comic book store is a pretty intimidating place but Time Warp has made me feel so comfortable. They have super friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially Scott whos helped me multiple times find exactly what I was looking for and was able to make recommendations for my sister-in-law who is even newer to comics than I am. Theyre really friendly and kind to my nanny kids whenever I come in with them and have helped my five year old nanny kid find the comics she wants. Thank you Time Warp for helping me get into a new hobby!

Look no further than Time Warp Comics for a plethora of comic goodness. They will fulfill your ever needs. From toys to books. I love it!

This is easily the worst comic shop I have ever been to. There are always 4 or so people working in the shop at any time. With all of this support there are still few if any priced books in the store. When we go to check out it takes FOREVER. I have never seen a shop use an Overstreet price guide AND an online resource (trying to gouge for the highest price??). It felt like we were being interrogated as we were checking out. We were even asked questions like where did you find this book and Do you know what this is. Price your books or have some easy system like other shops have. For example, priced as marked or it is cover price. Or set up bins that are at different prices. I do not believe I will ever go back to this location.The books were not under the 50 cent section. In fact the book in question was Young Avengers 10. When asked where we got it (like we did something wrong) we showed the gentlemen and even showed him there were others there. They were on the shelf in the alphabetical section. CLEARLY not even close to the 50 cent section which was nearly gone when we were there (there were 3 boxes).

Overwhelming amount in such a small store. Kind and willing employees thatll help you find and order a comic youre interested in; in case they do not currently have what youre looking for. Only downside in my opinion is the small corner shelf dedicated to manga (tbh I maybe just overlooked any other area it couldve been in), but it does not change the overall experience I had. So, definitely stop by and support your local comic book store!

It can be overwhelming for a first time comic book reader. There are just so many different genres and heroes and antiheroes and villains and story subplots and editions to choose from. And you cant just buy one comic because its the fifth in the series of eight and youll have better luck getting Park Place and Broadway on McDonalds Monopoly game than finding issue number 6. Its my first comic book store in a long time. Huge nerd, big fan of pretty much anything pop culture has thrown at me. I love all Cons big and small. Im no slouch when it comes to being able to identify canon story arcs versus bologna. Coming here, to this store, it made me feel like an outsider. I get unwanted by both the comics I grew up reading and by the staff working. Its great theyre finally using comics as a tool for education. It took them long enough. But I think that decision came too late like Custer at his last stand thinking, Maybe this wasnt such a good idea after all. The plight, the queer state I found myself in visiting this store makes me never want to come and visit again. And I wont. This store has taken the things that I loved growing up and eviscerated them beyond recognition. The comic book world is a oversaturated market and will soon see itself suffocated if this store is any indication of how comic life is. Lost what little business I had to give now and in the future. I write this as a cautionary tale to others looking to indulge in nostalgia. Let memories be memories. Dont come to the place where dreams come to die.

Time Warp has the best selection of new comics and trades. They also have manga and some graded comics. The back issue section is large but like any comic shop outside of Mile High your mileage may vary finding what you want. Still, they have a large selection. The staff is very friendly and will all help you find anything you are looking for. They dont have it? Theyll write down your name and call you when they get it in. Time Warp isnt my personal LCS but I still love making the trip out to Boulder to go here and I WISH I lived closer!

Review №18

While they didnt have exactly what it was I looking for unfortunately (I was in somewhat of a rush so I wasnt terribly thorough so I could have missed it) but this shop does have a LOT of cool collectibles and comics, and MANY more graphic novels. I enjoyed my time in the shop just browsing. Friendly staff that greeted me upon entering and had a few people ask if they could help me find anything or if I had any questions to just ask (which if I had, may or may not have found what I was looking for, no worries). Im not in the area much but if I am Ill definitely be stopping in again when Ive got more time to view the extensive wall of graphic novels.

Time Warp is a great Comic shop that almost always has what youre looking for and if they dont have it in stock they are always happy to order it. I always end up buying more than I go in for but I dont mind at all since the recommendations I get from Scott are always top tier!

This store doesnt disappoint! Wayne and his staff are nothing but a pleasure. I would highly recommend AJ and Markus. Their selection and customer service is in unmatched. I live over 30 minutes away but love coming into this store. I have a subscription box here which is great because they will recommend things based on my orders and even hold onto some items in case I may want to buy them. I purchased Pulp and 2 week after I received the book they got a signed book plate from the author and put it in my box. They have a customer for life. Dont miss out on this place.

Had an extremely negative experience with a younger sales associate in his 20s the other day. He had an aggressive attitude towards myself after I wanted to buy more comics, I’m sure he has something else going on his life as to why is so mad/sad. When I asked to speak to management, they had an apathetic response as to what else can you do. Stores will only thrive if your employees are happy people, don’t take it on your paying customers.

This is a classic comic shop with all the trimmings carrying everything from comics to statues and figures as well as a huge selection of graphic novels and even gaming cards. They have an incredible inventory of new comics and back issues including some very rare items! I believe its the only shop in Colorado that caters to buyers like me who are looking primarily for older comics to fill gaps in my collection. The staff is fun, friendly and quite knowledgeable! Definitely the best shop in Colorado by far!

Such a high end place for all the right old and new books, comics and even live action figures. Everyone needs to go and experience the service because they know how to communicate with each other and find what you are explaining if you only know alittle about something you like.There wall to wall selection I believe is priced for the buyer and the rare stand in with the very cool system of all different types of new and old covers. Even there autograph section is amazing due to the different styles of art or selection of things.

Love this place and the staff. They have the largest selection of new comics I have seen. In fact, the owner said he over purchases because he doesnt want anyone to leave disappointed. What an awesome attitude!! I drive 20 minutes to get there even though other shops are closer. I HIGHLY recommend this shop for any comic book or gaming enthusiast.

The staff was very friendly and helpful when we visited with our three boys. The atmosphere was very much that of a comic book store and we were pleased to see the selection that they had of both comics and toys/action figures. The look of absolute joy on my childrens faces was worth so much more to my husband and I than what we spent. We will definitely be making this a regular family stop in the future.

Recently got into Magic the Gathering and dropped in to get a bit more educated! One staff member in particular ( who I cant remember his name) made me feel very welcome. The staff is awesome and I enjoying buying from them. They dont have Amazon prices, but youre funding a great business here and not a gross billionaire, am I right?Beyond MTG I come here for all of my graphic novels and comic needs. 10/10 would shop again. Looking forward to get involved in the Friday nights!

I first visited Time Warp for a 24 hour comic event they were hosting, and I was struck by how clean, well-lit, and welcoming the store was. Theres a large selection, but its all well-arranged so it doesnt feel cluttered or overwhelming. I was also excited to see how family-friendly it was. So neat to have parents sharing comics with their kids in such a fun environment! Definitely my favorite comic store in Colorado!

Nothing but good things to say about this store!! If they’re out of comics that I’m searching for, they’re quick to help me order. The owner/staff are fun to talk to and joke around with. Another place that makes you feel welcome! Hard to find these days! You can really just spend hours in here and find new things to love!!

When I came back to Denver, I made a point of checking out all the comic shops in the greater metro area. Time Warp stands out as the best by far! Reasonable prices, very strict grading, and a great selection. Add in a cool owner and helpful, friendly staff, and Time Warp blows away the competition! My only wish is that they carried more key issues, but I imagine they sell almost as soon as they get them in.

I really enjoy my shopping at Time Warp. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and willing to put up with a ton of questions, and the selection is great. (Theyll order what they dont have too) The pricing is competitive as well. Would highly recommend to long time comic readers as well as those just looking to get into the hobby!COVID-19 update: The store is open and adhering vigorously to social distancing and mask requirements. Everything I wrote above is still true, but you can also be assured that they are taking your safety as seriously as they can. Top notch business, top notch staff, top notch products.

Went in looking for some comics that I had read over 10 years ago. Staff was very helpful in not only helping me find the specific comic that I wanted but also recommending another series that I may also like. Store is clean, staff is super friendly and very knowledgable. They also gave me a 10% discount since I purchased 3 comics which was very nice. Looks like the store also hosts table top games as there were several going when I went it.Love the store and staff and I will definitely continue to give my business to them.

My inner geek loves coming here. Even tho years ago I had a Superman Collection, I have only dabbled here and there over the years since. However, when I dabble, I love coming to this store.

Timewarp has to be one of my favorite places in Boulder. I go there every week to by comics, and sometimes more often. They have a great selection there, and for those who are low on cash (a.k.a. me) they have a 25 cent section and a 1 dollar section (50 cents on Mondays). The staff is super knowledgeable and always eager to help or make a suggestion. I hope anyone reading this decides to go there, because it is a truly amazing place for comic book lovers.

I love this place. Their back-issue selection is insane. They overstock a bit on new editions, which means I can always find what I want, even a couple days later. The staff is super helpful and always eager to make a recommendation, and you need only ask and theyll order whatever youre looking for if its not in-store (if theyre available, of course)I go here for all my comic needs.

If you need your nerd fix, whatever that may be, come here. I love how the store is organized. Staff are friendly, helpful, and will go out of their way for you.

It meant a lot!The selection is awesome, and the store owner runs a good shop.

This place is amazing. Forget bookstores for your trade (or mass market) paperbacks, these guys have it all and at the right price. If youre looking for loose issues that were never released in trade paperback, I bet youll find it in the endless sea of comics that dominates this shop. I wish they had a desk where I could do ny writing, because then I would never leave.

Back when I lived in Denver I would drive a whole hour up to Boulder, just to get my comics at time warp. Never have I felt so welcomed by a comics shop. Theyre friendly to LGBT folks and to women and also everyone there is a wizard and you can describe the most wildly specific subject matter of interest and theyll be like oh yeah we have something for that right over here. Time Warp rules.

Review №95

I have lived in the Boulder area for almost 12 years and I have shopped at Time Warp for that entire time. I have tried other comic stores, but none in the area can compete with Time Warp in terms of selection, customer service, and professionalism. Over the course of the decade plus I have been a customer at Time Warp, my shopping habits have fluctuated from weekly $100 purchases to scouring the bargain bin because money is tight and everything in between. No matter what I spend or how often I come in, the staff and owner treat me like a valued customer and long time friend. I want to give them extra credit because they have never rested on their laurels. As a long time customer, I can honestly say Time Warp is a better store today than 12 years ago. They are constantly looking for ways to enhance the customer experience, introduce new promotions, get involved in the community, and improve their stock and service. Thank you Wayne for providing such a wonderful store!
