First time here, and there were so many things to look at. I felt like the kid in the candy store, and enjoyed rummaging through the boxes for some great finds to add to my collection. Not exactly close by as I live in Milwaukee but next time I’m in the area, will definitely check it out again!!!
This is one of the best comic book stores Ive ever been to, and Ive been to a lot! Love the huge collection of comics, but also action figures, art, video games, and the list keeps going on! Im not close to here at all, but I always try to go out of my way to visit every now and then. The staff are always super helpful and fun to talk to. If they dont have what youre looking for, you probably dont need it! :)
Pros:1. A big selection of comic books and toys for a comic book store located in Wisconsin.Cons:1. The prices are terrible. I can order anything online AND pay for shipping for cheaper than most items in the store. Example: The ratio comic books and wall books. Zero discount for big purchases or new weekly releases. Lack of sales.2. There are boxes of comics books you can not look at and the employees will get mad when you do.3. Bad communication on social media.Overall it is a great place to visit and look at everything once but not worth your money to purchase anything. Find a comic book store online or through ebay and get your items there regularly instead. It will save you a ton of money and time.
Totally tubular, dude! VERY nice selection of comics, action figures, books and even throwback video games. Cool spot to visit
Clean, organized and great inventory. Knowledgeable and friendly staff is a wonderful bonus. New comics hot spot for me and my husband.
Amazing! Incredible! Invincible! Walking into Kowabunga Comics is like entering comic book heaven. There are comics EVERYWHERE, all extremely organized and all incredibly priced. If youre a fan at all of comics, do yourself a favor and visit now! Its my new favorite!
Great staff! Nice selection of product @ affordable prices! Highly recommended!!!
Wow! You need to go here! The even have store exclusives. Great bins of backstock, currents, figurines and cards.
Helpful and friendly staff! Great selection and great prices!
Great selection and a large space. You dont see a lot of comic book stores like this anymore. Very helpful staff too.
This place blends the line between store and fan experience. I come here often just to look and leave with things I didn’t know I needed. The staff is always knowledgeable and proactive about helping you find anything.
It is a very cool place and the customer assistance was amazing
Very friendly and fun staff
Great place, so many items you would have to do on and see. Happy they sell RPG too.
Huge selection in a well-organized store. Good prices. They went out of their way to try to fill the holes in my collection.
Awesome shop! Great back issue selection and a very large dollar bin. Excellent selection of magazine size comics. Friendly staff, fair prices.
Huge space for a comic store. Clean and bright inside and easy to move through.
Great place with a very friendly staff offering a wide range of collectibles from comics, to statues, to trading cards and graphic novels and so much more!
Awesome authentic comic book store. Also great staff, they know what they are talking about. Great for all your comic book needs.

Big selections of variants and bundles
Awesome place to shop.Employees are very nice and helpful.
Literally a great place. Comfortable, clean need heaven.
Me and my dad loved this place as he found his childhood comics and I found amazing comics and toys like a millennium falcon the size of a standard American sedan seat and a dearth Vader mini figure
Great selection and helpful staff. I wish I lived closer. Or maybe its better that I dont.
Enough cant be said about this place. The staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming, whether youre a regular or a first time buyer. They will quickly answer any and all questions, or look up the answers to help you out in any way they can. The inventory is a a pure dreamscape and a plethora of treasures also! If you want a local comic book store to support and to feel like home I highly recommend Kowabunga comics!
Amazing store. Really love it.I try to go here every weekend.
Amazing experience from start to finish. Walked in and they have such a vast inventory of back issues, graphic novels, collectables, games, video games, monthly issues, and graded issues. This was my first time ever in a dedicated comic shop. I dove into comics few days earlier with a buy into a few series but didnt know much. Went here and Sam was an amazing gate keeper to such a vast and intimidating hobby. He asked every single question I had with happiness. He asked me what character and series I started. And recommended other series or complete collections of over series for my character(green arrow). I expected to buy 1 or 2 issues I was looking for with my rookie collection. But I ended up getting the real first issue for my main series ( green arrow rebirth) bought the first 2 new 52 green arrow. Bought 2 bundles for the long bow hunters and brightest days. Also showed me the 1 dollar room since I asked if there was a budget room. Even in there it was jam packed with everything you could imagine. Picked out a couple cool old teen titans books from the 1980s which I thought was cool. Sam did the perfect job making a life time customer. He also helped me find the rebirth first issue for the blue beetle which isnt a common asked about character. Made me feel special about a niche character and he gave me the issue for free. I had already payed for my stack of stuff and asked about that as I was leaving. I cant recommend this place enough for new collectors and experienced collectors who havent been here enough. New life time customer thanks to Sam
Not from the area,but as an avid collector being in the area for a few days, decided to check it out. Was very surprised by the amount of comics. Very large selection of collectables. Had to stop myself before I went broke. All in all a very nice store and great experience. If ever back here again I will definitely be stopping back in.
Just an overall wonderful experience!
Nice little jewel on the side of the road. A lot of comics here and some really cool board games. Nice and laid back vibe
Impressive comic shop!! Super friendly and has a great selection of books. Its a little bit of a hike for me but I can see myself stopping here more often.
They have just about everything. Some items like Marvel figures are expensive
Lots of neat collectibles and comics. Great employees. Very nice way to spend an hour!
Best comic book store in the world! I always feel welcome here and they always have what I didn’t know I wanted. I will go in for one thing and walkout buying a bunch of other great collectibles.
Awesome Store, I go there almost every single day... great atmosphere, awesome employees, overall very clean nice store
Cool place, lots to look at, awesome customer service!

What a neat place! The selection is amazing and the staff incredible. If youre looking for a cool comic book and gaming shop, this is it.
Wow, what a great, clean, helpful place. Large selection.

Great comic book store! One of the best Ive been to!
This is an amazing store! Ive never had a bad experience here! The employees are amazing and so is the owner. Very knowledgeable and kind people!
Friendly place... Great selection... Fair prices
Kowabunga has at least a little bit of everything and is worth exploring. The owner specializes in comics and is very knowledgeable. He is resourceful where if he doesnt have the direct answer or product, he can either get the product for you or point you in the right direction. It is worth keeping an eye on their news because they do comic book days and sometimes have special guests from the comic community.
This store is always a pleasure to go to. The staff is very friendly and go out of their way to help you find what you need. Its a clean atmosphere with a range of different genres for every comic fan!
Bring my son here alot. Get all the cool stuff i collected as a kid too. interesting books and toys for the comic fan
Great place & great staff.
Excellent store and service!
Very nice store. Ive been without a local shop for some time now after the one I went to in Waukesha closed. Was very happy to hear about this shop. Staff is nice. Great selection.
Amazing store! They just changed locations to a much bigger store, which better showcases their huge collection of comics and games. The staff is helpful and eager to connect with you on a personal level, which really makes you feel welcome. Ill definitely be returning
I have only been to this shop a few times now. But in the short time that I have been going to the shop, I have never felt more comfortable with another owner or worker in this type of market like I have with James. He obviously takes his profession very serious and does a great amount of homework about the industry. James is very knowledgeable, willing to help, and friendly. Above all, James has a great personality. In the few times that I have interacted with him, I feel as though I have known him for years. His store has a vast selection of new items, as well as many high grade back issues. Besides that, he diversifies his store with different card based games, video games, and numerous other collectibles. I truly enjoy every experience that Ive had going to Kowabunga Comics. I have never left the store feeling as though I have been cheated. Moreover, I have learned a great deal from James in the short time that I have known him. Kowabunga Comics will be my home comic book store from now on. Thank you James for being an all around great guy!
Nice big store with lots of stuff. :)
Such a big yet cool place. Tons of stuff and the owner is very knowledgeable. Love this place.
A decent selection of comics and the owner is very friendly and helpful.
Very cool place. Had a ton to choose from as well as great people to help you find items.
Great staff, always friendly and helpful.
I visited the new location for the first time yesterday. They have such a wide selection of items with a great staff to boot. Definitely plan on making another trip in the near future.
Great shop! Sam was incredibly helpful as I was looking for gifts for my son. Big selection and lots of stuff for people of any age. I’ll definitely be stopping in again!
Not crowded, nice selection. Hard to find stuff.
A fantastic shop. They have some of the best customer service. They have a wide amount of comics. They also have a decent amount of singles and fantastic prices. They run a great amount of gaming events from Pokemon to Magic. If your in town and love comics or tabletop games check them out!
Excellent store, great selection and awesome staff. If youre in Oconomowoc this is the place to stop.
Finally decide to sell my old collection from 80s & 90s. I got a very fair price for the set. James explained his whole process, which comics had the best value, why, and how he graded. While he was going through the collection, I browsed through the store. They have a lot of merchandise and interesting books.
Outstanding selection and friendly staff. This shop is laid out nicely and has something for everybody. 10/10!
Really nice shop and they make you feel at home. Really nice inventory. The owner is great.
Staff is always super friendly and helpful. Their inventory caters to a wide variety of interests. Theres always something new and interesting to see there.
Awesome place 👍 very clean and organized! And I couldnt believe how Big this place was!!
Lots to look at
Incredible Customer Service - My husband loves Kowabunga Comics and when seeking out an anniversary present for him, James at Kowabunga Comics was exceptional. He helped me locate several of the comics on his wish list (pulling them for me in advance) and even followed up with me 5 days later when they had a collection come in containing some of the ones I was looking for. James was patient and explained comic ratings and what to look for so that I could ensure my husband loved his present. The gift was a huge hit thanks to the help I received from James.
Amazing store very large collection if you cant find what your looking for you didnt look hard enough haha If i could Id give this place a million stars!
Actually the best place to play mtg if you like cmndr or draft
Bought, sold & traded here. Owner is super nice guy, knowledgeable & fun to chat with. Huge selection & great location.Best store Ive been to in Wisconsin by far!
Chill place, store owner is nice and will let you look without trying to sell you his car.People there are really into the stuff they do, specially 40k and mtg. Cant speak for the comics, which they have a ton of.Would recommend a sign or something though. The place is pretty hidden and you park like youre going in a drive through.Maybe an online inventory too or im just unable to find it on the site.
The clerk was very informative and helpful
A great comic book store. The owner and staff are awesome!
Went here on a whim, the staff was knowledgeable and the space is welcoming. Lots of cool stuff to occupy your time, the kids loved it and the wife had to drag me out kicking and screaming.
Great to find new and old comics plus ur fantasy games as well !
This place is amazing. The team at Kowabunga is great. Cant wait to be back.
A great place for anyone even vaguely interested in nerd culture. The have a great variety of things from comics (of course), retro games (nes-ps1 area), board games and tabletop RPGs, TCGs, and more! The employees are nice and knowledgeable. They host frequent events for pretty much everything. And the prices are pretty good only being a little bit more than online or larger retailers but the service and experience is definitely worth it. Ive been supporting them for years and will continue to do so.
James is super cool, pre-orders books as needed. Fair prices, awesome wall collection of the more high end books & variants. Highly recommend!
Awesome little store
Been collecting pokemon cards for about 4 months now and this place, along with its staff have been super friendly and helpful. Would easily recommend this place to anyone
Great selection, with a lot of reasonably priced hardish-to-find back issues. Knowledgeable staff; I could talk comics with the man I spoke to for days! Heading back there today to get more to read!
Great store, and I am only compelled to write a review after the last reviewer (the only non five star reviewer) left 2 stars. I was in the store playing Magic when he was in there; he was combative and rude and did not understand that not every Magic the Gathering format is not a draft, and requires a deck. I saw the staff offer to help him build one, and have him come back another day to teach him the differences in formats and such. Some people just operate on a different plane of reality.That out of the way there is a reason the store has grown so much in the last 9 months: they have great products and even better service.
This is a top-notch store with excellent selection and friendly staff. Every time I have visited the store, I’ve had positive experiences with the owners, who are willing to help you find what you need. There is a nice variety of new comics, back issues, graded issues, trade paperbacks, action figures, Pokémon and Magic cards, and general memorabilia. Their new location is spacious and has plenty of parking. If you collect back issues, it is certainly worth a visit to this store because the owners are constantly finding new stock of key issues, including quite a few high end and CGC graded books. I always enjoy coming to Kowabunga!
This is BY FAR the Best Comic/Gaming store in the state.. maybe in the country. James is THE MAN!
They are so very helpful finding gifts during the holiday season!
Huge selection of new and old comics, friendly staff.
My favorite store in oconomowoc. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great place to hang out, play games, or take the kids. I make sure to visit everytime Im in town.
Awesome selection
Best game store Ive ever been too, and Ive been to ALOT. Owner is awesome as well as the employees.Its a bit of a drive for me but totally worth it
I work for a group home and after just one visit the staff remembered who we were and were so patient and understanding with our residents. Wonderful group of individuals.
