Love it! My absolute most favorite place to go. My son loves as much as I do totally!! End of story!... ππ
This place us amazing. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Nathan was knowledgeable and awesome. I will always come back here after my experience today.
The people at Daydreams have been my go-to guys for the last 15 years. They are friendly, well-read and thoughtful. If you are in downtown Iowa City, visit them and be pleasantly surprised. Love this place!
Awesome comic store, if a little small. However, even if it is small if size it is big of heart. The customer service here and the care that the people working here have for their customers is second to none. As a newcomer to comics, I felt out of place in what might be interesting or good to read, but throwing aside my pride I asked questions to them and they answered them all with many good recommendations and care for what I might like. I cannot recommend this store enough.
Friendly local comic shop that has a great selection and the most welcoming staff Ive ever met in a comics shop. Ive never once felt talked down to - which is, sadly, a problem for a lot of women, nb peeps, and younger people getting into comics. Great advice and recommendations for any taste. Lots of single issues for sale along with trades and hardcovers, anthologies, larger collections... a true treasure in Iowa City. :)
Clerk was helpful in picking out a comic book for my ten year old daughter, whos just starting into the comic book world. The shop is well organized and clean. We will be back again.
I dont get there very often. But as a fan of comics and a publisher. Ive never had a bad experience there. Staff are super friendly, very knowledgeable about their business.Very disappointed that the back issues werent there. Was hoping to get some old Micronauts and Rom issues.They have a huge assortment of trade paperbacks and graphic novels.
Ive been to a great number of comic book stores across the country, and this is one of the best there is. The employees were nice, helpful, and extremely talkative leading to good conversation between me and the other customers and regulars in the store. And while they have moved and downsized from their old location, the trade and graphic novels section is still jam packed with the best content comics have to offer. I was particularly a big fan of their writer collection sections, which contain several well organized shelves that have books from certain well known writers, with bios on hand for each of them. Overall, this place just checks all of the boxes and more, and deserves to be heavily supported until the day comics die.
Owner runs a fair and respectable business. COVID-19 precautions are top notch. Will do business again.
A great resource for comic fans.
Didnt have what I wanted in stock but ordered it straight away. Friendly staff, and trying to keep public safe.
Really good I bought a book here and it was super easy to fined and the staff were really nice but pretty pricey 9/10 but over all it was really good 5/5
Daydreams is one of the most well laid out comics shops Ive ever been to. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. A truly great shop.
Not the store it once was, 90s early 2000s when it was on the pedmall was the best.
Best place for comics in the area.
Great comic shop!
My wife and I make it a point to travel 2 hours out of town at least once a month to visit this shop. I personally have had conversations with every staff member that has worked while i visited and have never been treated rudely or blown off, they always answer my questions and respond to messages. I love the back stock its really been a great way for my wife to fill out her Harley Quinn vol 1 collection as well as my various Punisher titles from the 80s. i will continue to support this shop by making my monthly trips and would recommend any other collector do as well, it is a perfect shop for beginning collectors as well as advanced ones.
Good selection. Kinda confusing at frist to get use to there wall with what new and old. Good selection of back issues. Thank guys.
Simply the best in the area for comics, tpbs, and plenty of the rest. Hard to go wrong here if you dig comics.
Poor customer experience. Daydream list an item for sale on eBay for $200. Apparently has interest from potential buyers, increases price to $300. No buyers. Decreases price back to $200. No buyers. If thatβs not the very definition of greed I donβt know what is...
Nice comic book store downtown IC. It is clean and well lit. Employees are nice. Itβs not huge but most are not in Iowa. Great place to go on date night before dinner.
Great local comics store.
Nerdy and amicable staff that can help you find nearly anything.
Best comic shop Ive ever visited. Great back stock, easy to navigate and find exactly what youre looking for. Customer service is phenomenal and everyone is super friendly! Definitely recommend for anyone interested in comics and will be back soon!
Great back log selection as well as current runs. Also everyone who works here has always been super nice.
Amazing shop. Great customer service. Super-friendly staff. Willing to discuss anything comics with you. Very knowledgeable; will to try to answer any question you may have. Very laid back atmosphere but very clean setup.
Great place with a knowledgeable staff!
Great store.
Clean store, well organized. That is the only good thing about this LCS. No customer service at all! The owner has lost his passion for comics and the culture. He does not even say hello or acknowledge his customers. I am sure he is a busy guy but it takes 2 seconds to say hello to someone.
One of my Top places to go in Downtown Iowa city. Great Establishment!
Always super friendly and helpful! They recognize me right away when I come in and have my comics ready for me to pick up. Theyve helped me plenty of times in finding backorders Im looking for and are always patient with me and whatever crazy book I want. Always have some great recommendations, too, if you dont know what you want to read next! Last visit, my five year old had some questions about a character and the employee came around the counter and helped her find what she was looking for and answered all her questions. made my babys day! She now asks when she can go back to get the next book in the series she likes. Amazing service. Worth every penny to choose them over Amazon. No where online can you find this level of service and familiarity and positive human interaction.
I like this place. They have a ton of new and old books, and lot of graphic novels. The only thing that could make it better is if the owner would raise his up as you enter his store and acknowledge your presence! Many many times heβs too preoccupied to say βhelloβ.
If youre looking to continuously buy, ask them about their pull list option. They will add titles to a list to be held each month (or however frequently a new issue is released) for you. I love it! I come in and they have my comics ready for me before I even get there.They also have an amazing collection of back issues.Also a very friendly and helpful staff. Probably the best comic shop Ive ever been to and its awesome to have in it in Iowa City!
Knowledgeable about comics and sundry things. Theyll give you the straight dope on what to pick up and what to avoid. Very patient with busy customers who dont check their pull lists as often as they should (cough)
This comic book shop is awesome and filled with really nice people. I know some where the people working there dont engage with you much at all, but this store is awesome at that and has an amazing back issue selection. If youre in Iowa City, you should really check this store out.
Decent place, limited collection, which is fair. The dude working is quiet unless you need help. I prefer that. Its the only place around for comics and I cant complain.
Customer service lolbad apple lullol if we leave feedback we are customers...Customers dont always buy from rude people or crummy places
Great staff, great products
Fantastic staff! Wide selection of comics and other graphic novels!(old & new) Also just nice to support local!
An excellent comic book store. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. The back issue collection is one of the best Ive come across in a store that size. In a town this size Im grateful to have a local comic book shop of this quality.
Awesome selection, great and helpful staff, they also do custom orders if they dont have it in stock. Oh and they do great deals that helps the local animal shelter. Donate 5$ an get a free graphic novel with a real good selection. Also do a lot of buy # and get one free which also helps the animal shelter.
Took my 5 y/o son with me to buy his first comics, he couldnt stop grinning the whole time we were there, we could have spent hours at this place. I will remember it forever!
When it came time to sell my comic book collection I had no idea where to start. Most of my books were bought in the mid to late 80s with some early 90s stuff thrown in, so nothing too rare, as it seems everything was being mass produced then. When I contacted Zach, he could have easily said, Sorry. Not worth my time to go through your books, but he didnt. He explained that they probably didnt have much value now, but the joy we got when we were younger was priceless. I hadnt thought of it like that and it made me feel much better. He then took my big box of comics and over the next week went through them to see what he would be able to use. He also went above and beyond with the two pieces of my collection that would probably be worth something by offering to take them to a huge show in Chicago for grading and signature verification on the one and auction consignment on the other. Zachs communication was always fast, friendly and professional. I cant recommend Daydreams Comics highly enough. If you are ever in the need of some comics..this is your place!!!
Only place I can find with such a big selection anywhere around. Very nice people working there too.
Best comic store in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Area. Love visiting. Nice guys that work there. They have no problem bagging and boarding your issues right then and there, unlike Alter Ego.
Great shop especially for trade fans. Big hit against it is a lack of discount for pull lists, but the keep things clean and stay knowledgeable about product.
Ive been going to Daydreams since 1997, and bringing my children there since they were babies. (And Ive made sure that they didnt touch the merchandise until they could do it properly.) Fan-frigging-tastic store, great and knowledgeable staff--seriously, an Iowa City touchstone. Great place.
Friendly, passionate & knowledgable staff! Great selection of new issue comics, image published comics, local Iowa artists, and older collectible issues. They have fun toys and bottle openers as well.
Great comics store with an impressive selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff.
WORST COMIC STORE .....I know its owned by a comic lover and that is great but what turned me off by this store was that they dont offer trades or in-store credit or even buy comics.... I have been collecting for nearly 30 years and have been to 10s of comic stores all around the United States and NEVER heard of a comic store that does no in store credit,trades or buy comics... it just really vexed me. I normally dont judge others but the guys behind the counter acted like they were better than me and had poor attitudes. I would not give this store $1 of my money nor would I recommend them to anyone including my enemies....Just how I feel....
Great selection of comics with fair prices and a friendly staff, will definitely be going back
The folks working the counter are always super friendly.
A great, locally owned comic book store! Lots of selection, from superhero comics to indie graphic novels. They also have some fun toys and gifts, ranging from artsy Star Trek shot glasses to Japanese candy to video game character plushies.
Fantastic selection. Awesome staff. Check it out if you are in the area:)
Top notch comic shop!
Store was soooo nice!!! The guy working the counter was so nice and gave me a deal on saga figures and yeah definitely go here!
A fun place to check out the latest comics. A great selection for kids too.
I really enjoy going to this store and I love to support it. Its really a great privilege to have a comic store right downtown in Iowa City. Great location and really good deals, especially on trades- a lot of really great titles are 50% off!
Great comic store. Friendly people.
I went here for 3 comics. They only had 1 I wanted. But its clean, and everythings in alphabetical order, wide selection of new/old comics.
Love this place. Ive been going to Daydreams for 20 years now.
Zack and Jake are awesome; they helped me to source a hard-to-find item. Thank you!
Great selection of comics! The owner and all the employees are super friendly and helpful.
Better than the other comic book place in the area.
Neat little comic book store, not too big, but nice looking and well organised
Ive always loved this shop. Youll always find what you are looking for
I buy very few comics from cons and the internet, because these folks are so well-stocked.
Amazing stuff and really friendly staff.
Very cool shop with an awesome cashier
They have a ton of comics considering how small the space is. It gets a bit crowded, but thatβs okay. Overall, a good comic book store to have in IC!
Good place for new and old comics as well as a modest collection of fandom merchandise.
Great comic store for sure. Best in iowa city
I put 75 cents in the parking meter and waited at two crosswalks to check out this store, and Im glad I did! As a Bioware fan, I always head straight for the back issues, looking for indie titles that have been out of print for as many as ten years. The selection and organization were so great that I immediately found five issues I didnt have. (The selection of fandom merch was also fantastic and well-organized.)
A great LCS. Selection is somewhat small in terms of older issues, but still a nice place. π
Your typical comic book store. Good stuff here
Well versed and knowledgeable employee. Large and diverse collection for the space
Great variety of comics. New releases. Wide range of prices
Great place lots of comics and graphic novels!!!!
The best comic store in Iowa hands down!
Great selection of new, backstock, trades and hard to gets.
Love Daydreams, i have been going there since 1992. The staff and selection is always awesome.
The best comic shop around.
Our one stop shop for star wars comics!
A little overpriced but a lot of quality books in the staff is pretty cool
In the City of Literature, this should be recognized as a great outpost.
No other place like it in town.
Reliable source.
A nice collection of comic books
Hmm
I love this place!
Friendly and helpful staff
Anytime I see wall to wall comics I go batty for them. It was a chill environment with all sorts of comic book needs.
Lots of comics to choose from. Very friendly staff.
Fantastic! I stop by weekly
Greatest staff ever!
Great selection
Great place for comics
Excellent as always
