When I walked into this comic book store, I was blown away how amazing it all looked! The number of comic books they have, hard to find, even signed ones you can purchase. Newest titles right in front, previous weeks titles available and the guys who work here, they REALLY know their stuff! They had an artist there signing stuff, wasn’t familiar with who they were, but they are working currently to get artists in there as often as they can. Organization is really incredible and if you are looking for something specific, just simply ask. Everyone there knows where everything is. And they will play something comic book related on the tv in there. Will absolutely get my comics from this store to continue the series I started.
While visiting friends, my son wanted to hit a comic book store and we found Monster Comic Books. We were very pleased with the selection! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Definitely went above and beyond plus the staff drew a cool picture and signed it for my son! We will be back for sure next time we are in town!!!!!
Man these were awesome, so helpful and knowledgeable. And the prices were good too. They had so much stuff and it made for an amazing first time visit, I can’t wait to go back!
My son is getting into comic books so today we found this little gem! Everyone was so great and he loved it. He has not stopped talking about his free comic book gift, which he is not taking out of its protector because it is so special. He has been telling all his family because he was so excited about it and any place that can bring so much joy and smiles to my little boy is A+ in my books. And you have a customer for life! He said we will be going up there every weekend so see you all next Saturday!
Amazing love this place!!! Comic Books Fans this is definitely a stop! Big $1 comics area. Wall of key and big books including show case of hot books. Store exclusive area. Carry new issues as well bif suplly stores, bags, boards. Short box and long. Parking is somewhat a challenge, not to their fault but a neighbor business hogging the parking spot. Entrance is a fast turn be prepared. Grwat staff, very fun place to visit.
10/10 staff was incredibly welcoming from the minute you walk in. Prices are competitive with a robust selection. Couldnt recommend highly enough.
An unassuming little spot near a major shopping center: Tempe Marketplace....I was afraid that this spot--Monster Comics-- was going to resemble most other Comic/Gaming shops that have cropped up in the last 10-15 years. I have to say I have been pleasantly disappointed in that regard.Rather than walls-burdened with shelf-upon-shelf, crowded with new releases with multiple variant covers for most titles....I was delighted to find myself surrounded by long boxes to dig through. I have always loved digging through back issues looking for the best copies to fill the gaps in my collection and Todd has an excellent, constantly--growing, selection he allows collectors like myself to peruse in pursuit of their Complete collections.Monster Comics got bonus points for the smell of boxes filled with the same comics for decades being opened and rifled through. Took me back to the first couple of comic shops I visited in the Mid--80s. And got extra bonus points for being the first shop Ive found anywhere in the Valley (the Greater Phoenix Metro area) that has a decent backlog of Spawn issues---not just the expensive high notes and odd cover variants. Ahhh.....Glorious.On the shelves and on the walls you will find a variety of books -- Graded and Slabbed. And one of my favorite things about this place: they dont just have CGC slabs. They have a lot of CBCS slabs. And that affords me the opportunity to collect CGC and CBCS slabs at the same grade on certain books that I collect multiple copies of.Anyway. I am meandering. I am just going to say to anyone that knows --- and loves --- comics the way I do... Do you find yourself with a couple of free hours and an itch to unearth some much-needed back issues? If you do like I do; then go down to Monster Comics in Tempe on Rio Salado just east of McClintock in a strip on the south side of the street and I can almost guarantee youll walk out of there with a stack of issues.I usually do. So, yeah. Check it out. Youll be glad you did.
Has all the comics from DC, to Marvel, and beyond. As well as accessories for all your comic needs, visit monster comics. Located on Rio Salado Parkway across from Tempe marketplace.
Great shop with lots of comics, collectibles and custom art pieces. The owners were great, and let my boys have a free comic for their first visit.
Owner and workers are helpful and down to earth people. They offer a great selection and fun to be around.
They have a good selection of older comics and a massive amount of $1 comics. The people here are friendly and knowledgeable.
Great people! I have a 4 year old and they treat her as part of their family! They have everything you need and if not they will find it! Staff Is amazing and the Crain signing couldnt of been more fun!
Just discovered this place super nice staff my fave shop
Best comic shop in town. Todd has tons of experience and Kevin takes care of anyone needing new books and grading
Good service and selection. Staff was chatty and friendly which is nice no rush kinda shop and it was pretty busy. Cool place to check out if ur close.Clayton crane signing was a total bust. Made 2 trips to this place 1 to get tickets 1 for the event. Im close to 1 hr drive so back and forth almost 4hrs of drive. No post that they canceled or over booked nothing . Very disappointing.I wont be back.
Super nice dudes, good selection, and the best part is that you dont have to wear a mask if you dont want to.
This place is AMAZING! Todd really knows his stuff about each and every comic as well as the author and artist! I will definitely be buy the rest of my comic books from Monster!!!
Monster comics is one of those hidden gems. Across the street from tempe market place, monster comics has a great selection of comics, whether dollar bin, sought after back issues, or slabs. Great prices on supplies, collectors comics shares space with monster and offers new releases, primarily marvel and dc. A subscription pull box will ensure you never miss another issue. By far, the most appealing aspect of monster is their staff. Knowledgeable and extremely helpful. A great place to spend an afternoon.
They just returned from Vegas so the store wasnt in its regular mode. Many of the comics were off the wall. Its a bay garage with a good selection of back issues and a decent selection of current titles. There isnt much for memorabilia. This is all about comics. Its not the fanciest store but the owner is a true enthusiast and you can tell by the selection. Its in an easy to miss location and I found them by chance. A little more memorabilia and a more noticeable presence from the street would help. There is a little sign at the curb along with other tenants.
So we searched for comic book shops and Monster Comics came up. Well we walked in and were greeted before the door could shut. Super friendly store and very nice selection. Todd, Kevin and Jesse were all super friendly and super helpful. This is my new weekly stop. Keep it up gents.
Its a small sort of out the garage setup very nice guy running the place and they have a wide variety of comics mainly DC and Marvel.However if youre looking for manga or a wide variety of collectibles,you would wanna try elsewhere.
Great place to buy comic books!!!
Great comic book store! The owner and employee are very friendly, very knowledgeable! The comic selection is outstanding lots of great comic books at great prices! My friend and I will definitely be back !
A well organized store and clean get some fun comics friendly staff
Great selection of back issues, collections and rare variants. The newest monthly releases too! Awesome shop!!
The #1 comic shop in arizona. best customer service, books & community.
The store may be small but the employees working there are Lively and fun. The amount of older issues they have is amazing and fairly large, but they also have a small amount of newer current issues. Definitely recommend checking them out if youre in the area.
Not organized at all, pretty messy, and keys I’d say are about 5 times too expensive, but probably only 3 times. Do not recommend.
Best comic book shop around in my opinion, the guy who runs it is really friendly and everyone who works here is very quick if you need help.
Selection was kind of sparse but I realize that varies. Staff was cool and helpful. Will be going back!
Always new comics and ect to get. Good deals in the dollar comic book boxes Slabing and grading services available.
Great place, lots of back issues, and great conversations with the owner when ever I visit. Their weekly online auctions are awesome too.
Good deals on back issues. Mark ups on new releases. Not too hard to find could use store sign.
They were really nice. Would recommend and come again.
Legit comic book store
There warehouse is clean & I happen to know that they stay on top of their books & work very hard at least 6 days a week. If they do not have product,, which I believe is very rare or almost non existent,,they will find it for you. They have a very large variety and I notice the themes they set for the areas of the kind of vomics,,such as star wars. They are about 3 foot tall and are functional. They are for display. Cool
Came on free comic day and everything was well organized and made me feel welcome. They rock
Good vibes
Didnt have what I was looking for
Great shop to dig through. Books from all eras at great prices.
Maybe I came on a down time, but the selection was very small. Not one key book and what they did have was grossly overpriced. Great place for supplies though.
Cool place. Lots of comics. Great place to get BCW supplies.
If you ever wanna find a shop where the guy at the counter knows his stuff and will give you the best prices in town, then youve found the right place.
Its a great place for comics and slabs ....awesome and friendly service ...
Great place, Great people! Awesome selection of comics/slabs :)
This guy just has comics . And tons of them. A real comic book place that doesnt deal with much else. Just comics . 👍👍👍
If you have time, definitely check this place out. Especially in the cooler weather, who wouldnt want to dig around in boxes and boxes of comic books?
Great staff and selection of modern, silver, and golden age comics.
An incredible assortment of back issues and supplies, competitively priced. Great for filling in holes in the collection and obtaining that higher value key.
