A-1 has all the new stuff and the best selection of back issues at a good price. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Found exactly what I was looking for.

Really friendly staff and a massive store. Never spent so long in a store as I did then. Yugioh is limited to one glass case and a massive box to rummage through, unlike others, but in rest its very organized.

Fantastic place to go get comics. They also sell cards like pokemon and etc. Star Wars, GI Joe, Marvel collectables, game dice, posters, can also be found at this location. The store is also big inside and plenty of walking space between aisles. I would highly recommend this location to visit.

Fantastic selection of everything nerdy and stellar customer service. The employees there answered all of my boys questions and even hunted down the specific comics they were searching for. This by far the best comic book store weve ever been to. They also hold live auctions through their social media which they recommended we use to buy the two missing comics we couldnt get in the store at the time. I highly recommend this store!!!

Review №12

Pretty cool comic book shop. They carry a wide array of games, pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, you name it, in addition to the latest to vintage comic books. It was a bit overwhelming to go through back issues because there were just so much goodness in each row. I had the kids with me and didnt expect to want to stay for the amount of time I did to find specific issues Ive been looking for. Ill probably come back without my little ones and have a list/plan before digging. Ill definitely be back.

I go to this place all the time. Usually each weekend. With recent events they have proven to be some of the coolest people to deal with! The whole staff is friendly, helpful and rad. Cant give them enough praise. I usually go for magic cards but I recommend them for all nerd needs!

Top shelf comic and memorabilia dealer. Professional and courteous whether buying or selling. Aside from a private curator, this is the only place you want to be doing business in high profile trades.

Had a great selection of comics, posters, and tcg cards. I was looking for gunpla but they only had a Penelope and one other kit. Worth checking out if you are around the area and wanting to kill some time.

Its a small store, but they pack in the stuff. Knowledgeable and mostly friendly staff. Clean, well laid out, and fair prices for a small shop. Support your local comic/card/boardgame shop.

Family owned shop that treats you like family! Love the service and the team at all 3 locations, highly recommend. If they dont have what you are looking for they will find it and their prices almost always beat the market value.

Great shop, recently visited for May 5th free comic book day with my kid. Had so much fun we came back the next day and spent a lot here. The staff is awesome, and they have a plethora of comics! If you get the bug to collect make this place your first stop! Good prices and great products. They are a wealth of knowledge!

Manager wasnt wearing his mask properly and threatened to kick me out when I told him to pull it over his nose. Theres better game stores in Sac that actually care about their customers safety. I for one wont be back.

Review №32

Me and my dad went there to get Pokemon cards, everytime we opened Pokemon packets, we got really good cards and the chance of getting good cards was a 7/10 which is pretty good. It may be more money than we anticipate but its so worth it! So far its better than the comic store near my house so overall I give this store a 5 stars!

This is a comic store at at heart. While comics are not a large passion of mine they do fullfil other passions. That have trading card games like pokemon and magic, table top games, and a above average selection of Funko pop and collectable statues. The staff were all masked and friendly, most of the staff were sincere with help and seemed to enjoy themselves at work. The environment was clean and very tidy. Its simply a clean open comic store. Recommend for the nerd in us all.

A-1 was my first comic shop and continues to be my go to. They have a big selection of back issues and trades and can usually order anything not in stock with an extra 20% off. Everyone here is really nice, very knowledgeable, and always ready to reccomend great new reads. There have been plenty of time where Im not sure where to start with a character or story arc and theyve help me sort it out. A-1 also does a lot of cool extra curricular stuff like annual blood drives and Instagram live sales.

This is truly my neighborhood game store. They are always very helpful, genuinely warm and friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I recently had a conversation with one of their staff members regarding getting started with painting miniatures. He took so much time assisting me not only with what I needed to buy, and how to use it, but also let me know what I neednt bother purchasing until I know if Im really going to get serious about the hobby. By the time I left the store, I felt like he had imparted the equivalent of an Associates degree worth of information to me. Thats what they do though at A-1 Comics. They go above and beyond to help, and make you feel at home.

Review №46

Has a good variety of comic books and figures. Yet the pokemon section is limited and overpriced! The employees are knowledgeable and helpful. But it sucks that a Snom was priced at 15.00 dollars when after checking tcg it was 1 to 2 dollars. Deffinately wouldnt come here for a bargain. Inflation way to hi.

Before you begin saying, Why only 3 stars? Isnt the selection here good? It is. But the customer service is almost abysmal. I came in looking for cards and some help but everyone was either busy or conversing with other employees; not a single one was ready to assist me. I was crowding the display case of cards and none of them asked if I needed help. But theres other collective/comic/card shops in the area that do want your business.

I have been really happy with the online sales. A bit far from where I live, so sadly not on weekly pull list. A must go spot for back issues. Love the selection and happy with every experience. Thank You.

This store is huge, they have an extensive collection of cards for magic pokemon and yu-gi-oh, as well as one of the largest DND sections I have ever seen, and as the name suggests an astronomical number of all kinds of comics, and even manga, this is a wonderful place to shop

Of the 5 local comic book stores I took my grandkids to the two A-1 stores (Auburn Blvd & Roseville) are the nicest. Clean. Organized. Employees look professional. I used to take my son to A-1 when he was a kid. Now, the next generation is learning to love comics! And, read, read, read!

Review №86

A very large store, open and airy. Enough things that filled the store but not enough to make it look cluttered and messy. With a large selection of comics and a secondary selection of toys, cards, statutes its a true comic store. I was amazed of how organized this place is. I cannot recommend this store highly. It should be the standard of what comics stores should be

Review №87

The best comic book store in California! If you need anything comic or Magic the Gathering related, do not hesitate to come here. Id give them more stars if I could, theyre the most helpful people around.

Review №88

I have been a customer of this store since I moved back here in October of 2018.I cannot possibly say enough good. things about the owner and staff. If you are looking for current comics. or back issues this is definately the place to start.Since they have three stores in close proximity to this area, they have a large stock to check. I know if you are a casual or especially a serious collector as I am you will not be dssappointed.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff with a good selection of new games. The used game selection is the best in Sacramento. There is a wide range of comics and collectibles. The one downside is a small gaming area. The upside to a small gaming area is the parking lot always has spaces available.If youre looking for a comic, collectible, or out of print used game then shop at this location.
