Fast friendly service with a plethora of inventory that is very organized and clean. You can even pre-order items or issues on their pullbox ordering site through diamond select.

This place is legendary. Glad its not gone under. I was glad to see the sign on San Carlos after assuming they just shut down

As comic stores go, This one is okay. Selection of older comics is so so. I have seen better. Prices were a bit on the higher end. All and all if you are a comic fan I am sure you could possibly find something there. Prices are not negotiable, which makes it a bit harsh when it comes to comics, I mean for un-rated and certified ones.

Great local game store. Magic the Gathering events and all. Its a little out of the way, but worth it for the video games and comics alone.....pokemon and mtg are icing on the cake. Forget the mall stores, this is the one!

Great store . Nice selection of comics pokemon cards and marvel and all types of cards and comic books.

Went in looking for pokemon and they had a whole bunch but they were a little over priced. I know the reselling market is crazy but they had prices 10 to 20 dollars over what other family owned card shops were selling them for. I was kind of dumbfounded and shocked when the cashier was telling me some of the prices on items I was looking at

Super cool! been in a few times as a beginner collector of comics and funko pops.They have the biggest comic book selection i have ever seen in my life. They have a huge section of 2$ comics as well. They don’t have a big pop section but they do have them. It is a comic book store not a funko store though! You may go in and read books off the shelf like a library, and hang out in there!Love this store and will go to it for the rest of my life.

Really great place to spend the evening. Nice friendly staff. Really enjoyed talking about AMS with them. They took great care of me there. Hope to return soon.

We didnt realize how BIG a deal this Batman Fortnite Zero Point crossover has become. I called to ask if they had it in stock. They didnt have and they had been bombarded with calls, but the staff was still courteous and took the time to talk to us and take calls. It was very nice to hear good customer service. We stopped by and bought some Pokemon packs because of their good service, very much appreciated!

Great collection of comics! And older games and game systems Very friendly helpful staff, love to take my son here.

Great store for your nerdy interests! A great selection of cards, comics and vintage games!

A local comic and card game shop. they have pretty competitive pricing for an LGS for sealed Magic the gathering (MTG) products. Ive bought couple of boxes from them recently because it was a good balance of price and supporting local business. if youre looking to buy sealed Magic products from and LGS, I recommend contacting them for pricing.

Nice selection and nice staff members who are patient and never rushed us. Bought some nice old comics and other books. Thank you!

Been there a couple times with my boys. Each time found what we were looking for. Everyone there seems pretty knowledgeable about comics and cards. Its a good size place with lots of inventory.

I love this place! The management seems a little high strung but hey, it’s 2020. Otherwise they have a ton of comics, video games, action figures and statues! Very cool place!!

Giant variety of comics, fair selections of magic cards and manga as well as some DND books and paraphernalia. There was also a retro games section that I did not check out but looked worth its salt.Nice staff, can hold a conversation.Cramped atmosphere, but it adds to the library feel of the establishment.Loved it.

First of all we have spent a fortune in this store despite the poor customer service. Today we were looking to purchase Sandman Vol 2. It wasn’t in stock so we looked through the individual graphic novels to work out which to buy in order for my son to carry on the story. We had the books on the floor as we were checking. The owner came over to us stating they have tables to look at the books on (which at the time were full) Ok I get it but his tone was very rude ( a common occurrence especially on the phone). We got up put the books back and I told him we wouldn’t be returning. As we got to the car he came out to which point he called me an ‘asshole’ multiple times in front of my son and then the old man fronted up to me as though he wanted a fight. Seek help buddy and for those who are thinking of shopping here. Beware!

Decent selection of video games and consoles, but what they have in abundance, and are really passionate about, is their comics. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend for fellow nerds.

Fantastic laid back comic book store with a great selection of card games as well. My go to place for magic the gathering.

I cant speak too much to the merchandise, however I can say that the things I wanted to buy were marked up about 90% from retail. I can also say the staff ranged from strange to rude. I left dissatisfied and confused, my entire time with this store just made me feel uncomfortable. Lots of cool items, but I will not be returning.

I love this place! Im an avid video game collector and I like to pop in here once in a while to see if anything on my radar pops up.

Great LCS even tho it’s not our LCS lol we have to drive an hour to get there but is definitely worth it. Have a good selection of Pokémon cards. They also buy cards which is also nice.They have so much more then just Pokémon cards. They have magic, yu-go-oh, Pokémon probably more that i don’t know lol.Also funko’s, TONS of comics, card sleeves an boxes, all the vintage video games an maybe computer games.Staff is very nice also so much stuff you just have to go in an check it all out

Nice store with knowledgeable staff. A little thin on older comics. Old video games for sale are a plus though.

Plenty of old and new comics. Very friendly staff. Easy to find what youre looking for.

Friendly staff and good selection.

Very cool place.They have old school video game councils for sale.So much to take in as you walk around, ever square inch is utilized.Today is free comic book day so I grabbed me an X-men gold#1 and The Walking Dead #163.While I was walking around I spotted a cool hologram Batman DC Universe rebirth #22 and took it home with me.Over all this is a great comic book store with a friendly owner. If your like me and nerd out on comic books Id definitely recommend them.

Great store! So happy to finally have a local comic book store.

As an artist who loves to airbrush and customized motorcycles this is a great place to get ideas we are comic books color schemes backgrounds I mean this is my little honeycomb hideout store you can get very creative its a great place for creativity and motivation especially with the color schemes new and used issues of comic books a true treasure for any artist

They charge ridiculous prices for new Pokémon sets. An elite trainer box for shining fates is usually 50 bucks and they charge 180... The tins were also marked up to 90 from the usual 30.

They have a hand sanitizing station at the entrance. They are taking good covid precautions. Friendly and helpful staff.

Nice selection of manga but sale are at full cover value even if manga are damaged or old printed series.

Received a resealed $550 box of Pokemon Evolutions from this location and the owner, Bruce Tritch, refused to even address it. Despite being ripped off I still made patronage to the shop until I bought $204 worth of products and when asked if they could do $200, Bruce was hesitant but agreed only if I dont have to hear about that box againThis is not the way to treat your customers, especially those who are dropping multiple hundreds of dollars per visit.Stay away at all costs and do yourself a favor and visit Legends, Illusive Comics or Hijinx for better pricing and way better customer service.

This place is always amazing. The selection of comics is great. They have stuff for every age. Anytime Im in town I make a pilgrimage to this shop.

Great local store for a huge range of comic books as well as video games from all generations. Theres some great classics and fun stuff like guitar hero all available for good prices. They also sell TCG like MTG and Pokemon. Just really great for anything nerdy!

Great service and they always have a good supply of new and older comics at affordable prices.

Great customer service and answered a ton of my sons endless questions. Would highly recommend!

I pretty much love any and every comic book store. My wife was the one you spoke to yesterday about her sweatshirt. 🤘🏼

Entered the place with a backpack, and was asked by the employee behind the desk if I could leave it behind the counter. Reasonable request, so I handed him my bag. To show I wasnt being sour I jokingly asked if he was going to steal it and laughed. Someone not in the conversation took it upon themselves to tell me if i didnt like it then I can get out of his store. Very sad to know Ive been supporting this company for over 3 years and will be disrespected for making a joke by someone thats not in the conversation Im having with an employee. I highly recommend everyone go to Illusive Comics & Games, where they treat customers with respect and value their business.

Awesome place. A must see 😊

Reasonably priced merchandise and a lot of it. They have games for every video game console both new and old. Lots of comic books. Merchandise and nicely organized and easy to navigate. Friendly people asking to help you find whatever and answer questions. Employees seem knowledgeable about the merchandise. Theyve obviously had issues with people stealing comic books. There are a lot of cameras and bars on the windows. I was asked to leave my backpack behind the counter.

Very fun comic book shop. They are well stocked and have a wide variety. The staff can be a bit weird at times, but overall theyre friendly and eager to talk to the customers. I want to point out that there are prints that were sourced online that I think are being sold without the artists permission. Some of them still have the watermark on them, so always ask before you buy.

The staff is very friendly. I even met the owner and he was pretty funny and friendly as well. I really like the store. I have not been into a comic book store in a while and it was nice to go into one and experience the atmosphere. I even had a nice conversation with one of the customers. I highly recommend this store.

The people that work there are nice and helpful. They dont talk down to you if you arent knowledgeable about comics. They help you find what suits you best. Its kind of a small store, but I love coming here. I recently unearthed an old stash of comics and cards and they gave me great ideas on how to price and protect my items.

F this place is basically an adult dressed as a kid, they are scared of covid, can’t even look through singles because they are to lazy to disinfect every card like if your life depended on it, while you can go to target or any other convenience store and browse and touch items lol, what a joke, lost my support y’all can drown

Space Cat has Transformed into a Strong Game and Comic Business!! A Cleaner Quality Store in comparison to the Old Bascom Avenue location, I also enjoyed!! Thanks for Still Being Available, CAME FROM OUT OF TOWN!!

Awesome place. Huge selection of comics, new and old. A bunch of vintage video games/ consoles. All very cool, couldve spent much longer browsing around this store.

Very friendly staff! If they dont have something you want they will order it for you. Subscription service is great, they are really understanding if you cant pick up your orders right away

I enjoyed browsing all the comics collection at SpaceCat store. The staff is really helpful and help me pick a comic for a friend. Thanks!

Excellent store! So many comics! If youre with a bag pack, leave it with the store manager, they dont allow backpacks while browsing the store

I would rate this a 5 stars as I really enjoy visiting this store for Magic card bundles and comics just for fun and reasonable prices. I am rating this 3 stars because an employee really turns me off when I visit by the name of Jeremy. I asked him why he enjoys working there and he responds its none of my buisness and he doesnt like Magic cards or Comics...? Really turns me off to deal with employees that dont know how to reasonably talk to a customer. Its easy to suggest ONE THING you enjoy about an entire shop and its really not personal or MAYBE you SHOULDNT be WORKING THERE??? There was only 1 other person in the shop at this time as well. The other employee was an older woman who knew far less about magic and was wonderful to talk to in comparison.(I rated this up 2 stars because of the awesome employee I talked to yesterday, also I really do enjoy coming here)

Love it the comics are nice and figures to buy but be careful when you have backpacks they will ask to bring in the counter for safety reasons

Quaint little shop with good variety and dedicated staff. They were super helpful in helping us find the last copy of house of x issue 4 :)

We love Spacecats products and prices and really appreciate the staff. They are really nice helpful and cool.

Nice cozy store with a huge selection of comics and games. The store is lit well, easy to browse, and the staff is very friendly and happy to help you. They moved locations a while ago so some of the old reviews are no longer valid. Im not into comics but the selection is diverse enough to make me interested. The prices seem fair aswell. The old game consoles are interesting too, so if youre into that youre bound to find something youll like. Also, the Friday Night Magic community is excellent and managed well. Only problem I can see is the store is quite small, so sometimes its hard to navigate when it fills up for events. I got turned down because the midnight event was filled up, but he was very generous in his apology and I was happy to come the next day for another event. Space cat is a great store for any comic/retro game/magic the gathering enthusiasts!

This is now my favorite comic book store. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and huge selection. Also some fun retro items. Definitely worth a visit!

Great place to find gifts for any pop culture enthusiasts. good parking and wide store full of video games (retro), collectible figures and a great assortment of comics from variants to the older ages. plus the staff is down to earth.

Sheees

I love this place. Awesome products, awesome staff. Very friendly and welcoming. They have anything from pokemon cards to volumes of manga.

Awsome shop

9 people inside at a time. Great space distances in store....

I loved this store, I remember back in the day when I believe this store was off of Bascom Ave. I went there and saw it was closed down. Then I found it at its new location and I was real happy. This is where I bought my Nintendo 64 console. Im glad I got my hands on this system again cause I had to sell my original one a long time ago. Havent been the same since. I went here on a whim one day, and saw that they had games for the system, and found out that they had one available, bought it on the spot. No regrets, totally works. Going to keep coming back every once in a while. Might even pick up some Deadpool comics.. Great spot, definitely a go to spot.

Great selection of books, indie and from the big 2 as well. A lot of pop culture memorabilia ei videogames old and new. Definitely a place i would be coming back to often. Be forewarned though parking is smallish, and the entrance and sign is kinda small from the street so you might miss it. Otherwise a good spot for pop culture things.

AWESOME!The people were nice, and i got a couple games and a console. They all work perfectly.Its been two years and I would like to update my review:I have been going there often and I have never had any issues with anything ive bought or sold. It is an amazing store, and even after they changed locations they continued to be helpful and kind. Thank you.

Amazing place, staff is really friendly and they have a great variety of comics. I really only expected comics but theres more to it then that. Im really looking forward to going there again and if youre thinking about going to a comic shop I high recommend this one.

Great friendly fun staff always willing to enlighten or just chat it up.

Great and friendly service. A couple visits ago the power went out, but they got a backup generator running almost immediatly. Definetly recommend!

Awesome

OMG I need money and a bigger house, great selection of comic books, figures and games

Went there a couple days ago (7/29/15) and after taking a moment to find it as I didnt see the sign out front. Inside is a little crowded but thats only because they have a LOT of stuff, which I love. Their back stock is amazing and almost solely what I bought, sadly I wasnt feeling well and was unable to go threw it all as there was so much, my friend and I plan to go back in a week and a half or so! Its much better then what Monterey has to offer me and Santa Cruz has to offer her.

It came up in a search for old antique magazines. But we ended up getting an old comic book. Which is what they are known for. So in case you search for antique magazines and get space spacecat it really is old comic books

My first time in, the people and staff were amazing, I went in for the free Commander gameplay at 7:00 on Saturday and the people there were kind enough to not kill me instantly like they could have. Great environment lots of great people, would 10/10 recommend.

Like a Time Tunnel. Support Small Biz

Great selection of current issues and variant covers as well as interesting back issues.

I hear owner is cool . Staff was a little standoffish. Acted like it was a bother to ask about comics. No big deal . Nice store big selection . Free parking

Customer service was good. I came in with not very much but high hopes that they would buy what i had. Even tho he knew he didnt want it, he still made effort to help my situation that im in.. for that 5 stars & a new customer!🤓

The people there are not so friendly or sociable. In fact, they charge a lot for a book when you can get it really cheap on Amazon. Really...I wouldnt recommend this store as your first choice.

Best comic book store Ive been too! Great prices amd friendly staff

I love the set up in there because it feels like you are walking into a comic shop from some movie set. i ended up spending around 96 dollars that day and it was allll worth it. the girl wearing purple pants and the other girl with the glasses were awesome!

This is my go to place when my local comic shop doesnt have what I need.

Great people behind the counter. Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable. The owners are very nice.

Huge selection of cool geeky stuff. They even have rare memorabilia toys comics and games. Highly recommended for anyone.

A really cool, fresh store with lots of toys, games, albums and movies you dont find at other shops. The prices are fair. The staff is friendly and welcomes veteran and new readers of all ages. They support indie creators. And YES they have Cathair Apocalypse!

These guys helped me get the comic I wanted when other shops failed. The store is a hidden gem with friendly staff. Definitely my new go-to comic store and no longer just some vagrant comic buyer.

I started coming here around January this year, and its become a weekly (sometimes biweekly) trip for me and my friends. Everybody there is great and knows their stuff; there have been some great conversations and recommendations for books, and our first impressions of the store were what kept us coming back. Always a highlight of my week.

My son loved it and I remember it from back in the 80s. Lots of cool stuff for any age.

Selection is good, but prices way too high on video games and consoles. Tried to reasonably negotiate and they did not budge (items that are half the price on ebay).

Excellent collection and knowledgeable staff.very friendly and informative.

I started going to SpaceCat when it was still on Bascom Ave and I was amazed at the size of store and the amount of Comics, TPBs and Toys available. They staff has always been friendly and helpful when looking for things. The new location at 1415 W San Carlos St. seems a bit sketchy from the outside as its somewhat tucked away from the main road and has bars on all the windows. The inside is not as roomy as the old location but it works well and I was able to find my way around. Looking forward to setting up a few subscriptions.

What a great little tucked away shop. Surprisingly large on the inside, they have more choices than I could think of and some great stuff. I walked in just killing time and walked out with something I could not wait to read.

Took advantage of the fact I needed cash for my mtg cards. Did not give me a fair price and played stupid about the cost of the cards.

I really like and the are nice and the place is cool

Nice little comic shop. Happy to support small businesses :)

Been to many shops, but this one has a very wide selection of comics. You can get lost in here for hours. They also have retro games.

My fiancé and I were in the area and decided to check out. The selection was good, the staff was friendly and it was an enjoyable experience. I found to silver age FF fairly priced. With Ebay saturating the comic book dealer market and giving private collectors a platform to sell as well, I am surprised stores like these are still in business. I definitely will give them my businesses. BTW, Charlie was too adorable for words!

This is one of those quintessential Comic Book Stores. The staff was nice, knowledgeable and helpful!

This place has a funky comic book shop vibe that I wholeheartedly endorse.

Great place for friendly faces, great comics and exciting games of magic!

Original review: It was a great store. A large selection of books, video games, and cards. The person behind the counter was also very friendly.Edit: We preordered 2 books. However, when we contacted them to check the status of the orders they did not respond. We did so 1 time for 4 days in a row. On the 5th day we had enough and decided to cancel, of which we got no response. 2 weeks later the owner contacted us telling us the books were in. We told him 2 weeks earlier we sent him a cancellation request. He got mad and said we were his most uncooperative costomer in 15 years. He is the worst owner I have ever seen and we will not be returning again. We ended up paying him for the books so he would shut up.

Nice comic books store with huge display of key issues. Owner and staff are very helpful.

This space is a bit hard to find if you dont know exactly where, but they carry a lot and deal with old video games and some vintage toys. Staff is helpful and real cool place to grab what you need.
