If you are looking for the best selection at a great price and the most knowledgeable person to help you then Jeff at JNJ Comics is where you need to go. and who you need to see!! This store has been in the same location for over 20 years which is unheard of these days. Plus if you are looking to sell your comics I suggest to try Jeff at JNJ first he gives you better value for your collection than anywhere else Ive been!
This store is AMAZING if you are looking for back issues. HUGE inventory on site. I walked in with a list and left with about 30 comics all in GREAT condition and possibly the best prices Ive seen. I then gave the owner my list and he called me about 7 days later to tell me he had another 18. They were set aside for me. See photo. Bronze age X-Men. First Alpha flight. YES at first glance the place looks like wall to wall long boxes - so it can seem intimidating to start browsing and most collectors dont want to ask for help - but once you do, youll lose hours in this place. So fun. The owner continues to buy collections so hes updating stock. I look forward to going back again..
Been going to JNJ since my son was born. Jeff always takes great care of me. Best comic book store I have ever been too. Dont mind driving from Riverside to go to JNJ. 5 stars all the way!
JNJ Comics is probably my favorite comic book stores to go to. I have been going here since I was kid. Now Im in my mid 30s and I love bringing my child with me here.
If this place was closer to home, Id go here all the time. They really care about social distancing and the staff is super nice. I mainly collect modern so I was pretty happy with the selection, but I did find a fair bit of copper and bronze when I was looking around.
Nice place for new and old comics. Back issues half off.
This place has been here a long time and Ive been here several times. It is one of the last comic book stores in Orange County. The owner Jeff is awesome and really takes time to talk to his customers. During this pandemic he has taken precautions to protect everyone in his store. You feel safer because of the precautions. Give him huge cudos!! If you are a comic fan or just looking for something cool comic related, definitely check out this store.
Only thing is that they dont buy Or sale or know about vanguard
The guy wouldn’t even let me look through the comics without feeling like I was doing something wrong, I was looking through a box of comics and was asked not to it didn’t make sense to me, made me feel uncomfortable my whole time there, he was making weird remarks the whole time we were there. don’t recommend 0/10 just go to frank n sons the line isnt that bad anymore
I’m really bummed to be writing this because our first experience with this place was good. The owner was quirky and has a huge selection of books, although the trip we took today is probably going to be our last. We came in to find a copy of a predator book... when we first came in we sifted through the boxes he allows for customers to look at. He asked us if we were looking for anything particular and we told him, he groaned and reluctantly went to the back to find it. We asked if it was a first printing and he said yes. We paid for the book and drove home. We get home and open the comic to find that the book is a second printing... the dude straight up lied... super disappointed
Great price and selections. The place have a huge back issues bins and the owner is a great guy.
This was one of the first comic book stores I went to when I first moved down here 7 years ago. Jeff is an awesome guy who has a ton of books available. Another store I frequent a lot when I am looking to fill out my collection with books that I might not have!
Good place, reasonable prices. Jay is a cool cat!
Great selection, lots of back issues, and a friendly owner. Would recommend 10/10
Cool place and old comic book store feel. Cool chill owner. Been going here for decades. Used to game here but the cried died down a lot. But they have your comics and have an extensive collection. I come here for card games like mtg and pokemon, but the have collectibles and action figures, etc
I was help by Jeff very knowledgeable lots of comic stuff
Great variety of comics, cards and figurines!
Long boxes wall to wall. Salt of the earth comic store
I love this store. I lived near it growing up in the 1990s and mostly purchased comic cards from them. Now when I make it in, I usually just hang out and look at Magic cards or comics. Its a beloved spot for me and I appreciate Jeff, his humor, and his animals. He cares about what he does and it makes JNJ Comics a special place to be.
Such an awesome store from collective figures to all types of trading cards and of course comics
Been open 26 years this year! Great place for old and new comics! Owner knows his stuff and is a hoot! Make sure to stop by and check out all the goods!
Good Vibe, I went in a hurry looking for some rare comic books. The owner was so cool and chill that made me feel like home that I end up taking my time and found some good comic books..
Very nice shop. Got some bags and top loaders and was very happy with the experience.
Store has a huge selection backlog comics along with new comics every Wednesday. The owner is there everyday and cant not be more helpful or knowledgeable. Highly recommend this store.
Only thing, they do not carry ‘The Word Among Us’ - (a book I prefer to have). Extremely nice family and have many items to help to teach - or learn yourself items. Videos, Bible selections, etc.
Jeff is a cool guy. Makes you feel welcome on the first visit. Lots of KISS comics and McFarlane figures. My son got some of the KISS comics for 1/2 off. Nice!
Best comics collectable shop in the OC! Highly recommend!
Awesome bookstore with a great selection. Friendly, helpful staff and lots of events with local authors. Also a great place to find little gifts and nice cards. Plus they have a clean bathroom available! :)
Great neighbor comic store ....been there over 30 yrs great selection
Nice place has been for years
Super friendly very knowledgable! mad respects to this place support small biz!
I just got into comic books after buying some for my brother and this is the shop Ive been going to. Its a great place to shop! There are a lot of cool things to look at other than just comics. Even if you arent into Star Wars, superheroes, or geeky stuff you will find it fun browsing through the store. The owner is a cool person who is very helpful and a funny guy.
Always great service, great pricing and amount of comics. Recommend to any comic fans.
Place is great, go there often with my 3 year old. Jeff is very kind to kids and makes me feel welcome. He has a huge amount of comic books, some games, figures and toys, and dice. Its a great spot to sit down and look for some cards as well.
Cool comic store with large selection of back issues to fill your collection.reasonable prices too.
Jeff has a ton of back issues comics from different titles and publishers. Most are 50% off the comic book guide. You can negotiate a price. Jeff also buys comics at a fair price and because of this it is a must place to go at least once a month to find that missing comic.
This place is the Best!Jeff is the most personable comic Shop owner next to the former owners of the former Land of Oohs and Ahs.His inventory is amazing, his prices are better than industry standards (20% discount on new, subscription discounts and 50% off back issue sales all very frequently) his store is old, a bit dingy, not slick.....who CARES? Its an old fashioned, privately owned, neighborhood comic shop and Jeff is the owner and reserves the right to creep anyone out he wishes, especially if the customer is a self-entitled jerk who would rather shop at Fashion Island for comics.And he has birds in a bird cage!!!To the guy who says Jeff is a creep.....good for you. Stay away. Its not your shop, its his. We are all privileged to shop there.Not a place for casual (Gee I wonder whats in here) type of shoppers.....its a comic shop for comic collectors.Thanks Jeff for your unyielding commitment to running a great comic shop and creeping out the self entitled undesirables.Everyone who is passionate about comics.....visit this place. Its the best.
I drove by this place every day before work for two years before ever going in, and I really regret waiting so long. Yesterday was my first time there, and I really liked it! Jeff (the owner) is a total sweetheart, and hes very friendly to everyone that comes in. When I was there, he noticed one of the customers had left her dog in the car, and he told her that she could bring her in, and gave her water and treats. It was extremely sweet. He also does this cute raffle thing.Onto merchandise:His Magic the Gathering selection is unreal. He had to have thousands of cards for great prices. I honestly dont think Ill buy my MTG cards anywhere else. He also seemed to have a really good selection of comics and some figures as well.Overall, this place is really charming, and I hope to be able to support Jeff for the rest of his years in business here. 10/10 definitely recommend.
My to go place for any comics great n really helpfull store owner been coming since 13 now im 28 n still coming for great gifts n other stuff recommended u guys to come. Great prices all day with deals also
Stopped by today and picked up some awesome (Classic) titles. The owner was knowledgeable in all areas and answered my questions perfectly. He priced comics, rare ones, fair and reasonably. It may seem cluttered in there but let me tell you, all of his comics and I mean all of them are organized. Dont be fooled by the looks. He has hidden Gems everywhere and if you ask for a specific title, he will know exactly where to find it.
Great comic shop, tons of back issues and the owner Jeff is always there to help you out. Definitely worth checking out!
The owner is very helpful and approachable. I stopped in on a whim for some holiday gifts and he was very welcoming, and everything is well organized. He lets you look around freely but is there to help if you have questions or are curious about anything.
I dont know why people even go here. Horrible service and the owner is extremely rude. First of all, I asked if I could see the boxes of Pokemon cards and if I could bring the boxes to the table so I can sit and sort out the ones I wanted. The Pokemon boxes are near the bottom of the bookshelf and the owner is all the way to the far left near the counter. The fan is on and he was mumbling. Then he shouts Thats what I just said. Do you have a hearing problem?! Second of all, when I come into someones shop, I respect the shop, the cards, books, etc. The owner had the audacity to aggressively grab and snidely say that it was my fault and my responsibility to correctly sort and turn the cards around. (Its NOT my job to do YOUR job!) Then my girl was in the middle of us and heard him say inconsiderate things under his breath. She grabbed my attention, said thanks, and left right away. I NEVER felt like I was a bothersome and the owner was disrespectful to a potential customer who traveled hundreds of miles to check out the store based on reviews.So disappointed. The shop had great stuff but the attitude of the owner is not worth a trip out here at all. I get that people have on and off days but when you own a store, you need to remain professional at all times .
Great prices. Terrific stock. Owner knows his stuff, and is great to talk with. This is by far my favorite shop.
Its different, be the guy who runs the store Jeff is very straightforward and I respect that. Just be aware and respectful of your surroundings. One last thing, dont ask stupid questions... cuz with JNJ Comics what you see is what you get! 😉
My favorite comic book shop 👍 definitely recommend checking it out.
First, lets talk about the store itself. JNJ Comics offers an extremely wide selection of comics, from DC to Marvel to Dark Horse to IDW. Not only does the store have whats coming out recently in comics, it has thousands of back issues ranging from the early 50s to whatever came out last year. The place isnt sparkling clean, but it is very well organized. All back issue are in alphabetical order so it isnt too hard to find whatever it is youre looking for. This place does buy comics, cards, toys you name it as long as it has some value. The good thing is that even if the things you are bringing dont have much value, the owner does offer store credit. Another thing that is great about this place is that it values returning customers. If you choose to subscribe to a certain title of comics, the store owner offers a discount applied at checkout. If you come in looking for a specific issue and he doesnt have it, he will actually leave it with the rest of your subscription once he gets it in store. A nice perk the store offers is a weekly raffle every Sunday. You get a certain amount of tickets for money spent at the store and every week the store draws the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner. These winners receive $50, $25 and $10 respectively in store credit.In regards to the store owner, I will say that it is a hit or miss with first impressions. Most of the complaints that this store receives is due to the fact that the owner seemed rude or insensitive. What I have to say to that is, just give it a second chance and you will see what a difference it makes. My first interaction with him also was somewhat negative. I gave him my card to charge and he flung it back at me after he charged it. It threw me off at first but this guy has a bit of a quirky attitude. Now I know that didnt fling it back to be rude, its just how he is, does the same thing with the stools he has at his store. Once you get past that initial interaction you realize how much he knows and cares about comic books. I have been going to this place for almost 7 years now because this is the best comic place by far. I know he has customers that come from out of state just to buy comics from him. I bring my daughter as well because she enjoys coming and even has her own subscription to comics.All in all, yes its a little worse for wear and yes the owner is a bit eccentric, but he is the most knowledgeable, has the best selection, and overall a great place to go and shop for comics, cards, toys, etc.
Mr. Jeff ( the owner ) is really friendly and nice. He found for me exactly the comics I was looking one. Owner is really kind and experience. Hightly recommend !
Jeff was really helpful and courteous to me during my visit. He has a lot of back issues. If you dont see it initially you can just ask him. He will probably have it. He has a friendly rescued cat as a store mascot.
The guy who runs this place is a really nice guy. He makes me feel welcome, and comfortable when Im browsing around. I appreciate him and his store very much.
Clean, well organized and packed with products. Associate was funny and helpful. Found almost all of the comic series I was looking for, and were in the half off bins on the lower shelves. 2 very pretty pet birds were within the premise, so if you are allergic be advised. Was not busy at all on a saturday around noon. Will definitely be going here again, highly recommend all around! They have a raffle with prizes, I believe every Saturday.
I had more than I was looking for and that was more then anyone can ask! Definitely going back again!
This is a very cool, old school comic book store. The owner is very friendly and has obviously been in the industry for a while. If you have a question, hell have answers. He also has a weekly lottery for returning customers.
One of my favorite places to play yugioh with friends
Best place been here for yearrrrs. Great guy,his names Jeff. Solid guy a must if your in the area.
Jeff is always friendly and very knowledgeable about comic books. Just ask him anything and hell do his best on answering your question!
Very fun store with a lot of cool stuff. The owners were very helpful and very passionate about games.
The best place to get any comic book any super hero any villian and any question u have they will take care of you ...youll be surprised but super satisfied
I went here last time and let me just say that the guy who is the owner of the store and whose name is jeff is very nice and makes you tell your parents thank you which is very good for kids who dont respect their parents 10 out of 10
The selection is amazing. The owner has the best back stock u can imagine. down side is it always smells of weed.
Cool dude. Badass collection. Worth the look.
A good place to get your comic books, he has the knowledge for things like gaming cards. Figures some movies.
I bought my Husband a 1st print The Killing Joke from this place because the owner said it would be at least graded a 9.2 or higher. I just got it back and its a 7.0 and we never took it out of the package!Revised: The Owner said he would have never sold it to me like that and did make it right by giving us store credit for the difference in value. I still feel like I was taken advantage of and like he was blaming me for damaging it. Im 💯% sure I never took it out of the package he sold it to me in and I work in shipping so I know how to pack it for the grading! Just be cautious if your shopping here.
Huge selection of comic books; one of the only places we can find back issues of MLP comics for my partner. However, the store is fairly unkempt, pet birds roam freely about the place, and the owners manners are less than appealing, especially if you happen to be of the female persuasion or appearance.
My # 1 comic store to go to!!!👍👍👍👍👍
I used to shop here when I was 8 or ten and years old. Jeff is such a funny and friendly man has a great inventory of product from cards comics and collectables if you shopped there once had a bad experience do try again its one of those things where if you keep being a face there the more hell treat you as such at my time there was not a lot of shops out there growing up mid 90s that were close to home I used to go to Newberry and some others but since I moved to Santa Ana /Fv when I was young that close enough for me. Now I just go to get back there when I come out for a visit.
Great store, excellent prices, had all the B variants I was looking for. Owner is very nice & makes you feel like a regular.
Hidden gem. I have found comics here that I havent found anywhere els. Been to multiple different stores looking for specific old comics but never found them till I just happend to walk by.
Hes pretty knowledgable and he has a great array of comics and related inventory. He has cool animals and my son thinks hes pretty funny!
As a business traveler, I go to lots of book stores around the country and this is one I always visit when Im in the LA area. Nice guy with an amazing selection of comics. Chances are youll find what you need here!
2 gud 2 b true dis place is gud place 2 git pokemon cards
Great backstock!!! Jeff is very knowledgeable and is a pleasure to talk with! You can even give him your want lists and FINDS stuff for you!!!!!
Great place if your looking for some back issues. Owner is really nice and has some really cool birds in his shop. This place also has a great selection of vintage toys and other little collectables. This is also a fun place to come to with a group of friends to play some yu gi oh or magic.
Guy was really rude. He said i was stealing some of his 5 cent cards when i just mistakenly counted 20 instead of 22. He then through the 2 cards to the ground and as i paid him the money for 20 cards he gave me a ticket and threw a pen at my chest. Then looked away with no manners. For that reason i didnt pick up the pen or did anything with the ticket. Just left it in the counter and he has a disgusting breath smell
Been shopping here since i was in high school jeff always give the kids free pokemon cards
JAY IS COOL AND ITS ALWAYS A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE IN THE STORE💙
Great selection of collectibles and fair prices.
Jeffs comic book store is awesome. 5star establishment
Selection is great but this guys attitude is nasty not only that but he was preparing his weed right infront of everyone . I thought I enter a weed shop. Not a family environment
I take my son here twice a month to pick up comics since we started getting into DC Rebirth, and have since started collecting some Pokemon and Yugioh cards as well. Jeff is great, and always friendly and engaging to him, often slipping him a pack of cards or something randomly that he feels like. He has a massive collection of comic related toys and older books, along with a wide, current selection of comics, and lots of loose collectable game cards. If you like comics, cards or even looking for an antique toy you cant find on ebay, and if youre local, maybe you can visit JNJ Comics.
When the Owner/Operator Jeff rings you up for the first time he will tell you the Rules of the Store. Rule #1 We cant do this without you. Upon reciting Rule #1 Jeff will shake your and give you a playful but genuine Thank you.. I was blown away when I experienced this the first time Jeff rang me up. Who does this?! Who genuinely values their customers in such a real way, on such a personal level?!My first time was about 15 years ago now and Jeff continues on his commitment to value his customers. There are other things that keep bringing me back. Things like:• Jeff is the most knowledgable guy Ive ever met when it comes to comics and cards.• They have a great selection of comics, new and especially the older stuff. If you are looking for something older, chances are that Jeff will find it.• Awesome selection of collectible action figures, Minimates, Spawn etc..Ive been coming here so long that Rule #2 applies to me now! Haha! Dont know what Rule #2 is? Go visit JnJ and find out! Oh, and uh - Dont Forget To Thank Your Driver!
Great place! The owner is awesome. Half off comics.
Best comic store ever owner is very fun!
My first and only comic book shop. Love it
Great selection of Magic: the Gathering, huge selection of comics, and overall my favorite shoppe of geekery.
Shop is a bit disorganized and while the owner can be nice, he does the weirdest and rudest things to customers. I only come here once in a blue moon but otherwise I dread this place.
The best comic shop I have ever seen in oc.
Love this place, Jeff is the man!
Owner is rude, disrespected my parents.
Great place to find comics and collectibles 😎
Faded
OWNER IS RUDE AF DO NOT GO HERE EVER I JUST ASKED IF WE WON THE RAFFLE AND HES LIKE SCREW YOU
Its a nice, has a nice collection, owner is very helpful
Great place to buy comics.
Why go through the trouble of looking through the assortment if I dont get the price immediately.
Cool guy old school stuff
More comics than my body has room for!
Great comics
Really great place
You would be an idiot to not go.
