I cannot express how upset I am at this place right now. My brother was so eager and excited to come here only to be met with stealing accusations. This grown man said that he watched him walk away with five and only come back with three. That was not the case whatsoever. This grown man searched my *twelve* year old brothers box of cards to find them and found nothing. It's not like he could've hid them on his person, he was wearing a tank top and basket ball shorts. There's more to the story but nothing that aids the employee. Do your self a favor and don't risk the accusations by coming here.

A go-to friendly local gaming store. I've been coming here for 30+ years and I have to say the once-crusty service has massively improved over time. Everyone there is super chill and very knowledgeable about their products, as well as patient and kind with families. I would love to see more miniatures and miniature paints in stock, but other than that I have no constructive criticism. Keep being awesome for another 30 years, Comic Book Shoppe!

  • Emily Martineau

Went in to get a copy of a book I was looking for and found it, but there was a bit of an issue with the cover. The staff there were very polite and offered to put the book on order for me as I promised to buy the book if they had an undamaged one. I now have the book on order and am looking forward to the phone call to go and pick it up. The staff was very polite and very helpful. I look forward to going in again.

  • Ray Walli

Love coming to this comic shop. The staff are always very helpful, and will go out of their way to find exactly what you're looking for. If they don't have something in stock, they will try and order it for you! I could buy most of the items I purchase here on Amazon, but shopping local is so important these days, and the staff here make it worthwhile everytime. I highly recommend checking out this gem of a shoppe!

  • Jonathan Habel

Not into that kind of thing too much (I went there to get comics with/for my boy), but if I really was into comics, anime, figurines and such, oh man I would love to spend a few hours at this store. Every week. Their selection is ridiculous (in a good way), the prices are fair, and their staff is very friendly and helpful if you don't know who Venom is, or how to properly read a manga book.

  • Joe MacDonald

I've been coming here since I moved to Nepean more than fifteen years ago. Been taking my kids there since they were in baby seats. The store is well laid out and tidy and they have a great selection of comics, a fair selection of games and they're always happy to try to order in anything and bring in even more limited appeal books on my sub. Great, friendly, reliable service all around.

  • Tyler Hess

Best store in Ottawa. Steven and the gang are the most wonderful people I have ever met. They are knowledgeable on every series I know of and are able to help with an issue i have. They helped me put together a list of books to start my collection and go the extra mile and order in anything that missing. There is literally no other comic shop that better in my opinion.

  • Jax

Like any small comic shop, you're bound to find something unique and this place is no different. Though this was my first trip, I neither felt overwhelmed nor intimidated (something that can really ruin an experience for people). I will definately be coming back, and therefore can only expect more great treasures in the future. See you next time!

  • John Reading (J.R.)

Best comic store in Ottawa. Massive selection of comics (new and back issue). Very well organized. Friendly, knowledgeable staff always willing to help. Twice as big as the Bank St. location - and carries twice the amount of stuff. Great selection of board games, graphic novels, figurines, movie-related merch. This is the place to go!

  • brady sinyard-smith

One of, if not THE best place for all your wants and needs in a comic book store. Always go in there with a smile and leave with one, would recommend this place to everyone who is looking for comics, Manga, figures, and everything in between. Last but not least, they have an exchange program with tokidoki figures, enough said!

  • Improbable Duck

Been coming here for years for all my nerdy needs. You have a nerdy need? Go here! You don't have a nerdy need? GO HERE ANYWAYS! It's a comic con every day here. Magna, comics, cards, toys, statues. D&D, all the board games you can think of. If you can't find somthing ask! They can probably order it. Go there now! Do it!

  • Isabel Fitz

Stopping to exchange a mystery/blind box item. I didn’t like the one originally got and heard I might be able to exchange it here. I was happy to hear they do and an employee at the desk helped me make the swap. The employee was helpful, they had a good selection & am now very happy with what my new blind box item.

  • Joshua Gibbons

Made me wait outside in the freezing cold because there was 10 people in the store. Obviously, if I went inside, there would be 11, and we'd all get a mild cold, so good job keeping everyone safe. Garbage store anyway, didn't even have what I needed. Insanely cramped, claustrophobic and disorganized

  • B. F.

The best comics store I have been to in the city. There is a really big number of comics and merchandise. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Place is clean and spacious. They have so many comics on sale so make check you check them often. The staff's taste in comics is really good as well.

  • Gregory K.

Travelled to many comic shops and this is one of the best in the city. Great mix of old and new comics and the staff know their stuff from the latest titles to artists to stories. They also sell a lot of related stuff too and prices are very reasonable. All around must stop in Ottawa.

  • Ismaël Desrochers

Great staff, exceedingly good collection of comics, graphic novels and mangas as well as collectibles and used toys/action figures!! Their gundam model kit is nothing to scoff at, and prices are rather good. Always a good stop to do when on merivale, highly highly recommended :)

  • Chris Cleary

An amazing comic book shop with more than just comics, but they do have a large selection of those too. More items include action figures, board games, memorabilia, and more. The staff are incredibly helpful and can often do pre-orders and help you find back-orders as well.

  • Alex Leblanc

Awesome little shop, has everything from the darkest Goryest comic to the cutest fun manga. And the amount of collectibles are insane!!! The staff are very nice and very knowledgeable, can even pre-order specific items through them. Definitely going back and you should too!

  • Matthew Gayford

Great local comic book store with friendly, helpful staff. Also has a reasonably good selection of lots of other typical nerd stuff: collectible figurines, board games, TTRPG supplies, anime/manga, and gunpla. Worth a visit. Support local stores like this whenever you can!

  • Hails

Every time I go there the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable. Today I stopped by and even though the store was busy, I was greeted and given amazing service! The store itself is wonderful and has something for everyone, but the staff are what make it my go to shoppe!

  • Daniel Laprise

So much stuff to sift through. They had many rare items and my kids found things they were not looking for but were happy to find them. A bit out of the way but worth the detour. Staff were passionate and ready to help. Kinda place they'll remember your name.

  • Chris MacDonald

I've been getting comics and graphic novels from The Comicbook Shoppe since I was a teenager and the crew has continually been the most helpful group around. Whatever you're looking for, from Comics to Manga, toys to magic cards, this place can help you out

  • Karina MacIsaac

Staff are friendly and pretty knowledgeable. Obviously it's unrealistic to expect them to know about everything sell, but the do their best to help as well as they can! The stock is always interesting and there's always something to find when you go

  • Nicholas M

Went in not knowing what kind of selection the store would have and was pleasantly surprised with the great selection. I was extremely happy when they had exactly the paper backs I was looking for. The staff was also very friendly. Would recommend.

  • Caleb Sell

Awesome store for comic books! The staff are nice, engaging and know their stuff. Their comic book selection is great and prices are fair. Even during COVID, they made sure people got their comic books in a safe and efficient manner. Thanks!

  • Tziona Greenberg

Was having lunch at local heroes and decided to check them out. They had Captain Canuck comics, I was missing. Bought what they had. Will go back to get the first few issues. This place has tons of comics and other items. Check it out.

  • Izzy BG

There is a great selection of toys, games, comics, etc! They have great prices for the comic books but not so much for the toys and games. The staff are nice and very knowledgeable! It was my first time here but certainly not my last!

  • Andrew A

Small and cramped, and feels very claustrophobic. I go there for the games, but the selecting has been decreasing as time goes on. They were WELL over the pages limit of 10 people in the store today, which was also uncomfortable.

  • Vincent Girard

I was interested in GUNPLA ( Gundam Building ) but didn't know anything. The guys in the store were very kind and took the time to explain how it goes. Very good selection of comics and figurines, also have D&D books and posters.

  • Jessica Parent

Excellent selection. Place feels a little bit cluttered, but there is so much to find and explore here. Been a customer of this store for over 20 years, everything from Anime, Magic cards, table top gaming, etc.

  • Anne-Marie Ranger

Great experience. You guys helped me find comics that were age appropriate for my pre-teen. Gave a few magic cards to my 4 year old, he left the place feeling super special! Huge Thanks to the amazing staff!

  • Cliff

What a fantastic shop! They have classic back issues, Modern Back issues, TOYS, statues, board games, model kits, and MORE! It’s an abundance for collectors. I look forward to heading back on my next visit.

  • Cola

3 employees were talking amongst themselves badmouthing hiphop culture. But that’s the culture I relate to. I didn’t say anything I just bought my gift and left. Can’t believe prejudice exists so openly.

  • George Valenzuela

This little gem of a store tucked into a mall on Merivale is a sanctuary. If you love comics, games, manga and you want a friendly, engaging and safe place to visit. This is your destination. I love it!
