This place is special. Wonderful selection of comics and graphic novels. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The owner of the shop (I wish I had asked for his name) was warm, patient, passionate and welcoming. I had a female friend with me who had experienced some toxic comic book shop environments in the past and she felt safe and respected. That meant a lot to me as well. So glad I visited from out of town and so excited to read my haul. I shall return!
Amazing Comicbook shop! I went here for the mangas and they had a HUGE selection of mangas. They had for all generes. They even had some horror manga. The cashier was super nice too! I ended up only buying Tokyo Ghoul Volume One. This is my new manga destination. I 100% recommend. Its even alphabetically organized!
Great selection of comics. Really helpful and knowledgeable staff. Such a good community connection!
Well stocked store. Fun, knowledgeable staff. One of my all time favorites.
Awesome place with friendly staff, and amazing selection too. I always appreciate when comic stores stock a large variety of childrens comics, manga, graphic novels, and etc. in addition to just the usual mainstream superhero comics. This will definitely be one of my new go-to places!
This place is a great comic shop if you are only looking new comics. They dont have many old comics. The oldest comics that they have is a few weeks. They have a great selection of Funko Pops if you are into that. A few figures that are decently priced. Mostly DC collectibles, Marvel Select, and some statues. The employees are very nice and really good to talk to. Just wish they had more older comics in shop and a bigger selection of action figures.
Tons of comics. Check. Crazy large selection of manga. Check. Friendliest, most helpful and knowledgeable staff of any comic book store. Check! They have it all. Ive been to most comic book stores in SGV and a good chunk of Burbank, Glendale and Hollywood, and they all pale in comparison to Comics Factory. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. You wont be disappointed.
Theres lots of comics, manga and funkos, if you like those things its the perfect place.
Comics Factory is my LCS. I live in Burbank and I drive to Pasadena on every new comic book day.The guys that work here are some of the best people I have ever met. Kind, friendly, nice, and they are always looking to make sure you are happy and satisfied. I always felt like more than just a customer here.Comics Factory has an excellent selection of comic books, trade paperback, and graphic novels. They also have a huge selection of Funko Pops, Manga, and other merchandise. Comic book genres range from Indie books such as Something is Killing the Children to your big two DC and Marvel Comics. I visited nearly all the comic book stores in Los Angeles County and I havent found a comic book store with a better variety and selection of comic books than Comics Factory. And it continues to expand as they have a large space.Whether I needed Comics Factory to save me a copy of a comic book that I forgot to order, or fulfilling last minute orders on Previews World, they always come through for me. They really do go out of their way to make sure I was taken care of.Their pullbox system is simple and easy. No hassle. No frustration. I am able to preorder/order books at a 100% accuracy. If a book is shorted, allocated, or delayed, they make sure to let everyone know.George, Carmen, George, Dennis and the rest of the staff go above and beyond. I couldnt ask for a better comic shop.
Will DEFINITELY come back!!They have a massive selection AND a sample comic (so you can preview what youre getting).Bonus, they also have a giant signed/framed poster from Big Bang Theory (since the show took place in Pasadena)!
The staff at Comics Factory are super helpful, and make great recommendations if youre looking for a genre or type of book, they can help you find it. They have a great selection of titles of new/recent releases, as well as trades.
Friendly staff, great selection and organized in a fantastic way. And oh yeh did i mention friendly staff!? These guys are great people! The owner is fabulous as well and remembers your name!
Sent multiple email in a week and they couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Awesome place. I was more than impressed. Overwhelmed by the options. I could’ve stayed in there all day.What stuck out to me was their manga section. Not too many comic stores have such a large manga collection.
Ive been going here for years. Great staff, incredible collection, big inventory.
Its a very nice shop! The employees are friendly, and theres a variety of comics, manga, figures, and other merchandise. I bought vol. 5 of spy x family and vol. 10 of jujutsu kaisen here!!
Super helpful with recommendations and accommodations based on my preferences. Cant wait to visit again. Thanks again Carmen and George! Sincerely the Onewheel guy
Best Comic store!I’ve always been intimidated going into comic stores cuz im new and just watch the movies such as marvel but everyone there is so welcoming. They have a wide variety of comics and is the best place to stock up on funko pops. They have dc, marvel, Disney, fantastic four, James bond, Harry Potter, game of thrones, and lots more related items. I like how the place is organized and that the new releases are always at the front of the shop. The staff are always so nice and converse with me. Once I was buying a vision and scarlet witch comic and the guy at the register had a convo with me about Wandavision (it was when the show had just dropped). The first time I visited I loved it so much and immediately told my sister about it and we went the following week again.
Nice neighborhood comicbook store. Kind and very helpful service!
Its good awesome place, helpful andfriendly staff when you pay keep an eye on how they handle what you purchase if you collect,if you keep your items mint .sometimes tough placement of items inside.plastic bag can cause damage .
Fantastic selection and I love that the bag and board are included!
The best comic store in the San Gabriel Valley. Full and packed with a assortment of comics, major labels and huge indie comics, large collection of Graphic Novels and Manga. Decent collection of cover price back issues, Statues and toy collectables. Been coming here for 20 yrs..check it out
Tons of comics, graphic novels and Funko Pops.Parking is ridiculous.
Great variety and friendly staff
This store has very friendly staff and quite the collection of comics, manga, toys and posters.
Great comic shop with a wide variety of indie comics and mainstream titles, the staff is friendly and very helpful.
I love this place. Have been going since i was a kid. Now i swing in from time to time cuz its still my go to place. Always loved comics and collectibles so this place has special meaning to me. The guys are really nice.
Wonderful comic shop with a huge variety and helpful staff.
I love this local comic shop. Great selection of titles coupled with knowledgeable and friendly staff make it the best around.
Great comic book store with knowledgeable and nice staff.
This is my go to comic shop! They have a great manga selection and the staff is super friendly and helpful. They also have curbside pick up for those that dont want to go inside.
Best comic shop in town... Their book club is worth it and amazing opportunities for a pull list. Super knowledgable and helpful.
Great selection of comics. Tons of manga also, which is rare for a comic shop. Friendly staff that likes to converse. Also got some collectable figures and rare comics in the back.Highly recommended stopping by if youre a new or longtime comic reader of any kind.
I love the shop and the people who work there are very knowledgeable of their product I love it
Great staff, and great selection for both comics and anime!
Staff is amazing! Always helpful and knowledgeable about their products. They have a large selection of manga and are happy to special order anything they dont have in stock. I will definitely be coming back.
Super kind and helpful staff! They have huge selection of single issue comics, trade paperbacks, manga, and collectors statues. Their back issue area is a jumbled mess but that isnt a huge issue. The space theyre in is bright and cheery.
Great Comic book store. Staff is amazing A+
Great place to find old and new. Went in to pick up an issue of the Walking Dead and found myself buying all sorts of great other books...
Super friendly and lots to choose from
Great shop for new comic book day. Lots of different book selections, trades (tpb), hardcovers, pops, and statues. The staff is friendly and always helpful.If youre looking for silver age or high dollar books and variants then this is not the place for you.
Friendly staff and helpful, worth the drive.
Wonderfully knowledgeable and genuinely friendly staff. Absolutely awesome selection; they have comics and volumes from Image, Boom, DC, Marvel, Aftershock, Vault, IDW, Aspen and more! If they dont have it in stock and they can order it, they will do so quickly and let you know when its ready to pick up. Sometimes they have little events too. Without a doubt, this is my all-time favorite comic shop!
The guys are always friendly and extremely helpful. Ive been coming here for years.
I really like this place because every time that I bought some comics there, the staff always offered assistance and always went out of their way to help me out when ever I had questions. Another thing that I really like about this particular comic store is the simple fact that they dont deal with sports memorabilia stuff, just comics and comics stuff and some comics toys.I wont name tha other comics store down the street because I dont like comics stores that include baseball cards, and other sports stuff in their inventory; and then even ignore me.
Great selection. Lots of new and old comics. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Decent space, but a bit small which limits the available stock. They will happily order titles for you, though, and have fun promotions fairly regularly.
Good store, good collection, the people that run the shop know what theyre talking about and are always helpful. You can find trades or books here, from all major (and probably most minor) publishers.You can also sign up for a pull list here.
Good variety and great customer service
These guys are on point. They really want to help you.
Im not a comic book guy but from my first visit I felt it was great based off my experience.The staff was very welcoming and greeted each of us walking through the door. The factory, which is really a store, was stretched deep. You have your variety of collectibles ranging from comics, graphic novels, posters, geek t-shirts, Funko Pop to statues and figures.They did a great deal in separating the Funko Pops into themes and series. You can find them high and low and Im pretty sure you can call in to reserve a few as I saw some set aside with post its on them with a name. I mostly admire the pops and posters as thats what I was there for. The posters are one sided and the printed quality is what you paid for.I didnt check out comics or the novels. I was seeking the D23 cover variant for the Marvel #1000 comic. They didnt have it but they had all these other variants and I end up buying one. They provided a nice comic book information and news update sheet which I thought was a nice touch.Its near a university campus so I thought the locations nice. You can park a one time per day limit of 2 hours on the street if you dont have a resident parking pass. It certainly is a great place for people to gather for the geeky finds and the staff seem to really know their locals or visitors.
It was our first time there today. Great experience! Refreshing to interact with respectful, knowledgeable and nice staff!
Great variety and awesome customer service.
My favorite local comic shop in the Pasadena area. Extremely helpful and patient staff along with a terrific inventory. Ive found them to be knowledgeable about everything from mainstream hero stuff to obscure indie titles.
Always cover price on available back-issues. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great selection of art books, trade paperbacks and kids comics. If youve been away from collecting for a while, like me, just ask any of the staff and theyll steer you in the right direction (genre, character, artist, writer) these guys are fans and readers so they have a very personal approach. Love this place during Free Comic Book Day and Halloween!
Great service, always very helpful. They have really good stock and will try and order you what they dont have. One of the best comic shop Ive been to.
Love this store! Always lots of recent back issues. Free bag and board with each book so its always MINT! Discounts with pulled books. Would like to see more action figures outside of Pop figs.
They have a good selection of manga as well as comics. The staff are also friendly and helpful.
Friendly service. Good selections. Great prices.
Like the selection. Cool place. Free Comic book Day was awesome here.
Been coming here for years, love it.
Cool place. Not very different from any other comic store.Had good selection of popular comics and graphic novels, toys and artbooks. Also cheap comics were available and the staff was helpful.
Liked their manga section. Great amount on the shelves. And the employees were friendly.
Customer service was awesome. Huge comic and graphic novel selections. A factory indeed!
My favorite place to buy comics. The people who work here are super knowledgeable and very friendly. I was never into comics, and now I have a descent size pull list. They have a good variety of comics, with a good selection of big and small publisher comics to choose from. Definitely recommend coming here for comics.
Great place and awesome customer service. Great selection of comics, pops, and comic statues.
This is just a fantastic comic shop. By far my gave one Ive ever been too I live on San Dumas and drive all the way over there every week. I get helped and their hours are amazing. The people there are nice and very helpful. And the store its self is big and always have what Im looking for. Its never dissapoimted me yet and probably never will. I suggest this place for everybody.
This comic store is amazing. They have a crazy selection of comic and graphic novels! I was extremely impressed the massive amount of different titles and brands they sold! They had almost everything I could image and much more beyond that! This is definitely one of the best comic shops near LA!
Nice independently owned comic shop that also sells manga! Great conversations with the staff and a nice wide selection.
Had easy parking. Got everything I was looking for. Nice workers
Great selection of comics, manga, figures and more. Great staff, very friendly.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, they have a variety of comics and novels and are sold at cover price. They do have merchandise that they sometimes give discounts on. A shining beacon for comic book lovers in an area that lacks to cater for super hero (or villains).
Love this place. Always easy to find anything Im looking for and if they dont have it they will try and get it. No fuss no muss. A lot of helpful people.
Great place for comics lovers !!!
I was able to find comics from small publishers in this shop that I could not find anywhere else in the LA area. One example is Red Winter from Scout Comics.
We stopped in on a whim for my gf to pick up the new Sandman title and found this store to be a real gem. The guys were friendly, helpful, engaging, and knowledgeable. Well definitely be stopping in again.
I just went here for the first time yesterday. I wish I lived closer to them. It had a bright interior,large selection and friendly people. I know they were having some type of sale when I went but their prices seemed to really be great. Part of what this store does is buying products. For a place that buys its products everything seemed in good condition.I looked mostly in the CD section but they had great prices on both CDs and books. I dont remember seeing prices for Japanese music CDs so low before. If you go you have to check their $1 book section and $1-3 CD section. I found more than I thought I would there.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Theres a big selection of titles, and they had all of the books I was looking for DC, Marvel, manga, indie and more. Most of the new titles come bagged and boarded which is an awesome bonus.
Great selection and awesome staff and owner! If cant find what you are looking for they are usually able to order it for you!
Comics factory has a huge selection of comic, manga, graphic novels and some figurines. The folks are nice and you can start a pull file here if need be. The have a large stock of back issues as well. There is only street side parking as far as I know.
You can find the most recent manga a nice place
This is MY comic store. I commute from a reasonable distance just to come here. I love all of the employees. They know me and boy do they know their comics. Nobody is ever trying to jack up the prices to screw the customer over. No matter how common or rare something is, the price is cover price. Everything is fair, so if theres a rare variant it gets put into a lottery system so that scampers or normal people with jobs dont have unfair advantages or disadvantages to the item. They are FANTASTIC.
Huge selection. Fantastic prices. Lots to look at
Great shop. Super friendly staff. No egos. If they dont have it on the shelf, they probably have it in back-stock. I really like this place.
Great selection, Great Service, I felt right at home.
Staffs are really nice and they have a lot great comics. May The Force Be With You.
Great store! very helpful and personable staff
Not just THE destination for comics and collectibles in Pasadena, but an absolutely huge store with a huge selection and a great staff. Even if it were not the only option for these items in the area, it is a terrific comic book store on its own merit.
This place was sick. Had everything and more. Magazines I had no idea existed were there and everything was very well organized. Friendly staff directed me to what I needed. Great job!
Parking lot can be a nightmare. The staff is fantastic. They know about the books and can recommend pretty well if you let them know about your tastes. Been going here since the 90s(?) OMG Im old! Im Bill Mahers comic book stereotype!
Great comics and they also have manga which is a plus if youre interested.
Great place. Great people work there. I come here 2 or 3 times a week.
My favorite local comic shop in the area. The crew there is friendly and knowledgable. The comics are bagged and boarded. The selection is solid. The categorization on the shelf is a little wonky, but once you figure it out it makes sense.
They have large indie selection and anything they dont pretty sure they can get it for you. Very knowledgeable staff.
Awesome
Always friendly staff ready to answer any questions, and the store itself is well stocked with the newest issues, as well as previous issues. Lots of collectibles, magazines, and tons of Funko Pops!
Huge selection. I went specifically for walking dead day. Everything was displayed up front and center. Got all the goodies i wanted. Friendly staff.
