Exellent staff, never really have much questions but staff is always willing to answer. Great relaxing atmosphere, great music selection! The newest comics available the days they are out! Only minor complaint is it can feel a bit crowded in busy hours.

I adore how much culture this shop has developed and continues to add to the community. Tabletop and card game selection isnt exactly huge, but its all quality products. (Doesnt hurt that the single pack of MTG Id bought as a self Birthday gift happened to be picked with extra kindness. )

Employee (heavy set) with the boy bun wearing shorts that are way too tight was very rude when I asked for a price check. He said the price was on the bottom and I told him that the price sticker was ripped off then he gives me attitude like Im the one that ripped it off. Dont be mad at me bcuz youre a grown man working at a toy store and cant pick out the right size shorts.

Clean and well organized store. Jason was extremely helpful with my questions and getting signed up for a membership. He was personable, polite and professional. I brought up a comic I saw just by name and he gave me a little bio about it and the series is was a part of. Very knowledgeable and all around great place to visit and shop at. They will definitely be seeing me around.

Nice place, Ive been to the one in Claremont and theyre about the same size, I feel this one is Redlands is organized a little better. They will have more of the current comic, a wall filled with funko pops, manga books, and cool wall art. The people that work there are nice and helpful.

Great selection of comics. I highly recommend checking it out if youre in the area. The store is a bit small, but there is still a lot of comics to check out. Also, they offer a membership where you pay a one time fee, and never have to renew it. You can get some good savings with the membership

This spot has a beautiful storefront, you cant miss it with its large banners or in front, and once you step inside youre impressed by how organized everything is. They have a great selection and variety of toys (especially funko and blind bag), & a good mix of comics, manga, paperback, and pop culture art books. Their prices are a bit on the steep side, unfortunately. The customer service is excellent though!

What an amazing place. Redlands which is a mecca for creative, intuitive, intelligent, open-minded, artistic, giving, soul seeking and the adventurous spirits - this place is fantastic and can satisfy a graphic novel or comic book fan for hours. For such a small store it has an incredible selection and for the store to let me take this many photos just shows their willingness to be open to the public and share the creativity of all these wonderful artists and amazing creative spirits that make everything they have to offer. Clean and a welcoming atmosphere the novice (myself) can explore and be astounded by world never known or imagined, the expert (I think of ComicBookGirl19 - think she might love this place) can be glad to know there is a place that expands the mind of children and adults and feel they can find what they are looking for in such a limited market. Redlands is an amazing place and this just adds to its spectacular array of one in a lifetime places to discover. Great staff working that day and store packed with people. Redlands offers stores like this and record stores and wonderful restaurants in the area to draw people from all over Southern California. No wonder they call Redlands the jewel of the Inland Empire this is definitely one of the jewels. Comic book and graphic novel fans will make this their home for many years to come. Hope photos show a bit of what they have to offer. The store and staff so welcoming and knowledgeable and willing to help and provide assistance - a very free spirit energy place with so much to see and learn about. Redlands is sure to become the new destination for creative artists and musicians and writers worldwide. Its a one of a kind place and so is this wonderful store. Come and see for yourself.

Theyve got plently of collectibles your heart desires. Unfortunately they devote anout a third of their wall to funko pops, but i get it. If you like funkos then youve got your hearts desire here. They have a wide selection of both american comics and manga. Ive gotten some fun niche pins and stickers here before that i absolutely love. If youee looking for a last minute gift for one of your more nerdy friends, then this is the spot to go to.

Awesome comic shop located in the heart of downtown. Open concept inside makes it feel a lot less cramped as opposed to other comic shops. Wide variety with high shelves, cleanliness, and a cool atmosphere ties this place together. I only gave 4 stars because I feel like there is minor room for improvement, Id love to see a wider selection of figures that arent POP figures. Other than that, I wouldnt skip out on this cool little shop, with an awesome name homage to one of the greatest groups in music history.

I have a friend that introduced me to this place recently and I was blown away at how clean/inviting this place was. Quite a few comic book stores are cluttered and almost feel dingy, but not Quest. They had massive amounts of Funko figures and a GREAT selection of comics. They even have comics and storybooks for the little ones. You could literally navigate the store with ease and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this place to any comic book novice (like me) or hardcore fanatic.

Generic shop. Both workers were chatting with a regular while I politely stood by waiting to ask a question about their back issues. I left and wont be back.I worked in a comic shop for 5 years and own over 11,000 comics. But one of them could have approached me while I stood there clearly waiting. I wont be back.

I mostly send my wife to this store to get the newest issue of the Immortal Hulk. She tells me that each time she goes in, the staff is always very friendly and helpful, they even have gotten to recognize her and automatically point her to where the newest issue is in the store.Update 7-19-19 The staff has now started giving her the VIP treatment where theyre holding the newest issue of the mortal hulk aside for her

The best comic store in the city in my opinion and with comics, manga, posters, shirts, figurines from your favorite series, pins and a lot more! They also have an entire wall dedicated to pop figures with at least 80 on the wall. 10/10 would recommend to check out.

Too crowded to allow social distancing, many people in the store with no attempt to limit the number of people inside. This seems to be part for the course because last time I was in there,though there werent many people the one young man at the register wasnt wearing a mask....

Ive been coming to this location for about five years now, but have since decided to look for a new comic shop to frequent. The selection is good. But, I have never felt welcome here, and that is due to the unusually rude, snobby staff. Whenever I visit, I am greeted with side-eye, if Im even acknowledged at all. If I ever get the nerve to ask a question, the workers act as though I am wasting their time. If customer service isnt something that matters to you when supporting a business, then by all means, shop Quest. They have what youre looking for, just dont expect much help in finding it.

This is the only place I go for my comics. ASCQ is also one of my favorite places to shop for enamel pins. They usually have a good selection of zines and other micro/small/indie press as well.

Easily the best comic shop in the Inland Empire. Super clean and professional, never smells like a reheated bean burrito. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable on anything comic or pop culture related. They often have fun art shows and events going on. Highly recommended!

Review №93

This is the best comic book store in the area. Sometimes their selection and items surpass any other comic book store in Socal! Love it when they have what I crave! Keep up with niche items from all the animes, cartoons like Bobs Burgers, exciting stickers & pins and so on! Customer service can use a little work though they seem indifferent unless you are bringing up item(s) to ring up for purchase.

Review №94

Great comic book shop. Clean and organized, helpful friendly staff. Also, they do a lot for the local arts community from stocking a great selection of local zines to putting on art shows and zine fests. This is also the big sister store of Claremonts A Shop Called Quest, so if you love them, Comic Quest is some of the same people. The Quest family is not only my top, but my only recommendation as far as comics shops in the IE go.

Review №96

1st off way to expensive for even the smallest of items (pins!!) 2nd if your looking 4 a series of something its best not 2 look there! Usually missing at least 1-2 volumes in each series so unless your just looking 4 a specific 1 that they might have in that series Id look elsewhere!

I come out to this location usually about once a month. Been doing that for about 5 years (was previously closer to the Claremont location). I love the staff even when theyre not most outgoing folks working that day. The store is immaculate and ignites my child-like wonder.My daughter loves rolling out with her dad to this shop, which provides plenty of kid-friendly books and merch. They carry a lot of Nakatomi Inc prints. Im a big fan.Yo, simply put, this is the SPOT if you love comics and everything related to them.
