This is by far my favorite comic shop and my partner and I have made it our mission to visit comic shops in the Tampa Bay area. They have a HUGE selection and if you cant find what youre looking for they will order it for you and call you to come pick it up. They have a subscription service as well which is great because it gets us in there to look around and has even gotten our 9 year old to find a few books she likes! The staff is always super friendly, very helpful and they make you feel like old friends hanging around the shop. I would definitely suggest getting some Magic The Gathering stuff in there, its really my only suggestion!

Great old school comic store. Plenty of copies of new releases and nice selection of older stuff at very reasonable prices. And enough toys and fun stuff to keep it interesting without it feeling like a Funko store that sells some comics. Friendly staff too.

This was my first visit. Nice selection, lots of new comics and graphic novels/TPBs. Pretty good amount of back issues, but only alphabetized by letter. You have to take a while to look through the whole category to see if they have what youre looking for. I was able to fill in some holes I had in my collection of newer titles that I had missed. There also have some old books for sale in good condition. Staff seemed very nice and helpful, and the customers who came in while I shopped seemed to love the store.

Called this shop to find out if they had a specific Brand-New Batman comic that MSRPs for $5.99, and took time off work to drive down and purchase said comic to make my little boy happy, and when I arrived the owner tried to charge me over $25 for 1 comic that on the Day-and-Date of release, otherwise sells everywhere else for $5.99. I do not appreciate the way this shop does business, and neither should anyone else. I will be looking into contacting DC COMICS to let them know what Comics-n-Stuff is trying to do to their customers!Side Note to the Owner: I was referred to your store by someone who had just purchased the one and very same comic from you earlier in the day for $5.99. So I dont appreciate that you tried to overcharge me because you only had 2 copies left! That is the absolute most despicable thing Ive ever seen a comic shop try to do. Especially when you tried to show me online prices and even those where single comic owners trying to make a profit off their one comic, whereas your a store, a professional, and you treat me like I was some stupid individual that would fall for your shenanigans. I hope that DC cancels you because that will be just as big a hit to your bottom dollar, as the hit my 7 year old son just took because I wasnt able to get him his comic book. Absolutely atrocious, and very predatory towards your customers. Good Luck with your business, Bub.

Stopped in for the first time to pick uo some boxes for my collection that survived a hurricane. Tim was friendly and knowledgeable, and the selection of comics was incredible. I felt like a kid again walking through the store. On top of that, the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this store.

I walked into the shop the morning that TWD 193 dropped. I watched the owner open the store. I was the third person in and the first 2 did not have that particular book in hand. However, when I asked for it, I was told they were sold out. You can figure what happened. Either they ordered 0 copies of one of the most popular books in the hobby or their copies were pulled at the surprise news that this was the last TWD issue and found their way onto eBay.

Review №25

Absolutely adore this place! Im a big nerd, so Im always on the hunt for new comic shops and the like, but Comics & Stuff is easily one of my favorites in Tampa Bay! The interior is cozy and the comics are abundant (of course they are, its a comic shop!). I took my brother there with me and he was able to find some Green Lantern comics hes been looking for, which he was super excited about. Its all very organized. I often stick around for hours just exploring everything the shop has to offer.When I asked about what comics are selling hot right now, the staff was very friendly and helpful in suggesting what I should check out based off my interests. I got into a few new comic series thanks to the awesome suggestions by the staff! I now stop by here whenever I know my wallet can handle all the new comics I want to buy, haha.Theres a little something for everyone here if youre a DC/Marvel fan or even for independent comic series (which is my favorite section of the store!). This store is a real gem and Im so glad to have found it. Check it out if you have the time! :)

Let me just start off by saying, I have been to quite a few different comic shops. This place is hands down one of the best shops I’ve ever been to. The reason why? They actually sell comic books!!!! Imagine that. It’s nice not walking in and the first thing I see is a wall of Funko pop dolls all over the place.The employees and management are top notch. They are easily accessible through Facebook, so if you need to add something to your pull list or just have a general question, they get back to you right away. Not to mention they give pull list subscribers a discount if they have 10 or more titles on their list.The store is clean, it’s organized, the books are taken care of. Everything is bagged and boarded. Bottom line, Comics and Stiff actually care about the two most important things in this industry - The Customer and The Comics.You’ve got my business till I either move or my untimely demise. Keep up the great work guys, love the store.

I have been coming to this comic book shop for a year now. Its a very decent size shop, they have a very large selection of comics available, they also have collectibles and toys available. They have very good prices and they are very supportive of the artist and their community. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They have a lot of comics sometimes you find some good hidden gems. Good hunting.

Peter and his staff are very nice and knowledgeable. The store is organized and full of gems! Also, they have best deals, in central Florida. Keep up the great work guys and I will be seeing you soon. ✌🏾

Walked in here with the intent to purchase as many Captain America comic books in the dollar bin as I could to pass along to my nephew and I was overwhelmed with how many issues they actually had. Not only did they take care of me and give me such a good price when making this large purchase but they even gave me a box to carry them in. So helpful and friendly. Will be back.

The staff is fantastic and their recommendations have been excellent. On my first visit, being quite unfamiliar with fantasy and sci-fi authors beyond Tolkien, they turned me on first to George RR Martin and then to Steven Erikson. I loved them. And their advice since has been flawless as well.

Started coming to this shop when the one I went to closed down. Pete, the shop owner is helpful, will give suggestions based on what you might like and has no problem ordering a comic for you. Isnt pushy, wont hover around while you take a look and will remember if youve come in before or what youve bought before. Shop is definitely worth checking out!

Review №53

I went here looking for a Christmas present my boyfriend would truly enjoy and appreciate. The guys who helped me were absolutely amazing and extremely patient with me as I took forever deciding on the “perfect” gift- one that would surely please any comic super fan AND was still in my price range. Not only did I leave there feeling confident in my selections, they reduced the price on one item and threw in a green lantern picture (a favorite) for free. But best of all- on Christmas Day- not only was I happy because I felt had “nailed it”, my boyfriend was genuinely happy and impressed as well 😊😊 Thank you guys again- I will definitely be a returning customer!!

My day was made when I stopped by the shop today minutes before closing to pick up some backissues when I saw this on the counter — the man working was super nice and when I couldn’t find the cover price on the book, offered a bargain that I was more than happy to take. So excited to own this grail!!

Stopped by for the first time today. Saw the $1 comics sign outside, had to check it out! Its a very neat and clean store, all the most recent issues are up to date and nicely displayed. The $1 section has sleeved and unsleeved issues, but I wish they were organzied alphabetically! It would make looking for titles MUCH easier. (In fact, if they needed the help for that, Id love to do it for them) Overall, its a nice small shop Ill definitely be visiting again.

Updating this review, as - WOW! - this store has grown so much since the review was first written.When I first visited Comics & Stuff now three years ago, it was as someone two decades removed from reading a comic book...and at their small location off busy Kennedy Boulevard. At this location, I met the amazing owner - Peter - also his trusty sidekick, Anthony. I first dropped in with my better half out of curiosity...and then found myself subscribing to an array of suggested titles...also picking up select investment books Peter handpicked.This hidden gem soon grew into a diamond mine. So much so, Peter moved the store to a beautiful location on Gray Street where it remains to this day. With the move, Comics & Stuff tripled in size and staff (Sara and Tim ROCK), and is literally a store for everyone. Dollar books by the thousands, awesome vintage/collector books, independents galore, every mainstream new issue, and a terrific trade book (to include used) and toy section.Most importantly, Comics & Stuff is for everyone, regardless of comic book familiarity. No one is ever shunned for knowledge or lack thereof, and young, old, dudes and dudettes are all welcome. With this being said, serious collections will find highest end CGC slabbed issues come/go through the shop on a daily basis. And Peter/Anthony will ping customers if something theyd love walks in. (Ahem.) Tip: watch their FB page!Since I first wrote a review for Comics & Stuff, so many more gave it a deserved five stars and for great reason. Anyone passing through Tampa and/or with a curiosity/passion for comics will find no better shop in the Bay Area, period.
