Went in looking for a specific book, the nice lady helped me search and when we couldnt find it she added me to a list so it could be ordered. Really made me feel like she cared and I loved it.

I love this store! It has the biggest selection of indie/small press titles and trades in Phoenix, by far. They also have a great selection of new titles, and often leave the last few months worth of any given title on the shelf for cover price. Plus, theres a pretty good dollar box section where you can find some treasure.

STOP!!!! I actually mean stop by this place and look around. In for the holidays with family, and I was in search of a specific comic book. As soon as I walked into this place, there it was. I found it. I couldn’t find it anywhere else but here. The gentleman behind the counter was awesome. In small talk, I had mentioned I liked a comic that had come out recently, and this guy was all over it. Showed me the issues I needed to read, and the issues I needed to put the whole story together. This shop is the best in customer service and definitely wants our business. Give that man a raise. They are not all about pushing unwanted expensive issues, but about making comic book reading enjoyable. What it should be about. Thank you for the awesome experience. I will be back again for sure. To bad I don’t live close or this would be my everyday or weekend stop.

Awesome comic bookstore in Tempe in charming historic area. The owner, Drew, is an great down to earth guy and very knowledgeable on comics. Hes been a terrific help over the years and I encourage everyone to check out his shop. Pick up any copies of Pink Lemonade while your there, its a fun read!

Stopped by to buy a couple of books. Kid at counter said I had to have a mask, they dont accept gators. Even federally mandated public transport allows gators. Wont bother patronizing this business.

Phoenix New Times Editors Choice for Best Comic Shop in the valley again for 2017 and probably forever! You like superheroes? How about some of that indie stuff? Maybe youre into some subversive comix... They have all of it. If not, they can get it. Ash Ave has a lot of great places around it too, make it a day to get some comics then head over to Casey Moores for a beer or a coffee at Cartel just down the block.

Ash Comics hosts an evening of Storytelling once a month. I went in September and it was a thoroughly enjoyable event. The store itself offers a wide variety of merchandise, everything from print to action figures and other novelties. Dont miss an opportunity to stop and say hi to the friendly folks at Ash Comics.

This is by far the best place to go for comics in this area. Ive been stopping here for a couple years now to get all the comics I like, and the staff has given me some amazing suggestions for what I should try next.Everybody who works here is friendly and ready to help. I have never had a single problem and highly recommend everyone who loves comics stops in at least once.

Im not really a comic book guy, but I came to Ash Ave Comics for the monthly story slam. It was pretty good; Ill probably return. The store has a cool edgy vibe and has lots of nifty comic book/nerd culture stuff.

So the service is impeccable. Their knowledge of comics is extraordinary. Their about an inch away from making you feel like your own superhero as you enjoy the many comics they have in store. Check it out!

Coolest, most organized comic book store Ive ever been to. Wonderful experience!

Ry
Review №42

Friendly helpful service. If your looking for back issues or an obscure graphic novel this is the place. You wont find much in the way of non book merchandise like figures or clothing and such. But I believe it cause their focus is the books. And for me theres nothing wrong with that.

Every time I go into this shop, there is always something new and interesting. Drew, the owner, always gives me great recommendations. He is also always willing to research various comics I may be looking for which he doesnt currently have.

Review №45

Ash Ave is a very cool little comic shop. They have an incredible selection of graphic novels. It is largely American comics and toys so if youre looking for anime, manga or gaming you may want to look somewhere else

I love this place. I was looking for a comic shop after atomic closed and this place was the best for my money and time. Great staff. awesome stock. Keep up the good work!

As
Review №55

Ever since atomic comics has closed down it has been very hard to find a decent comic book store but this one by far comes closest to what atomics was like. They have great variety, friendly people, and good prices. Granted you can always find cheaper comics online but not only do you have to wait for them you dont get that atmosphere of awesomeness which is worth the extra few bucks, not to mention its easier to broaden your horizon in a comic store rather then online
