Here's my updated refresher review as my testimonial to being a "regular" customer who patronizes The Comic Bug. The staff remains super friendly and helpful, with Eddy and Gerald being the 2 who I see most frequently. The merchandise and pricing is top notch. They have current new releases, back issues and $1 bins filled with bargains and potential treasure. My 7 year old has been coming either me since he was born. He's treated well with kindness and welcomed to look around. This is a family friendly spot that Jun has created. No grumpy LCS attitudes here. I've referred many comic collecting peers to come here through the years and many have switched loyalties and made the Comic Bug their go-to LCS for their routine pull-lists committing to advance pre-orders due to their system, reliability and vibe. So, this here is more of a confirmation of the status quo after decades of coming here and still coming here... in fact, today 04-03-24 Wednesday's New Comic Release Day, I will check-in too!

I called Comic Bug a few days prior to going their shop asking if they submit books on behalf of customers to CGC. I had a 2-3 minute phone conversation about it over the phone with an employee ensuring me that they can help me out, they even dropped the person's name of who to talk to specifically at ComicBug and how the whole process would go. I was so stoked when the employee over the phone said they could help me resubmit my already graded books to get re-slabbed and go for a custom label. I also used to pop into the Comic Bug every-now and then when I lived in the area, so I thought why not? It seemed like a chill shop the 2 or 3 times I went. Plus several shops near me said they didn't do the CGC submitting that I was looking for Comic Bug it was. On my late Sunday morning I drive almost 90 minutes to ComicBug, thinking I'll be able to drop my books off, and possibly do some big shopping. I went to the counter and the employee who does all their submitting, told me they don't do that.... I was shocked, given the in depth phone conversation I had, and confidence they had over the phone and how they described the process to me. They flat out lied to me, wasted my time, energy, and gas to get there to straight up turn me away with zero remorse. What an utter joke that place is. I wasted my Sunday trying to make it to Comic Bug. They lied to me and we're not helpful. I tried talking to the main guy at the counter and he just kept saying no we don't do that sorry.... He seemed to care less to as I explained the phone conversation I had with the shop and how far I drove. I also came ready to drop DOE at that place to fuel my comic book club I run at my middle school that I teach at... I'll take my business else where. What A COMPLETE waste of time!!!! go elsewhere where employees are on the same page, organized, and don't lie to customers.

The staff here is some of the most helpful I have ever encountered for a comic book shop. I've been to plenty nation wide to know. They do so much for their customers and go out of their way to be mindful of the individual needs of their clients. They have staff that have a wide array of knowledge, from mainstream to niche type of publications. Reasonable pricing and great quality of products hands down. The section next to the comics is great for gaming and cards. The ONLY wish I had for this location in Manhattan Beach was better parking. This isn't their fault, so other than paring, I would say this is the ideal comic book shop to visit at least once in your life time.

I have been coming to this store regularly for a few months now. They do a great job of helping with my pull list and ordering things for me when it’s not available on hand. The Game Hub next door is also part of the business and they always have great events for new card game releases and set up events to teach newcomers to pen and paper rpgs and card games. They also have plenty of comic book signings so there is always something happening at the store. Very well organized and always an enjoyable experience when I visit.

Love the staff here. Always helpful and has amazing recommendations. A bit more pricey across the board than most other comic shops when it comes to action figures and special comic runs, but they are consistent in selection and professionalism, so I keep them in my rotation.

Just shy of my twins' fourth birthday, I brought them into Comic Bug for their first legit comic book shop experience. It could not have been a better introduction to the world of comics for them. The staff was incredibly generous and took extra time to help pick out age-appropriate books. When my son spotted a large Batman robot toy he wanted for his birthday, everyone swooped into action. One of the proprietors distracted the twins with a cartoon (which was their first brush with Bruce Timm (extra stars) while Eddie rang me up and then went and stored the gift in my car out front so I was able to keep an eye on the kids. Eddie even covered the gift with a blanket he found in the trunk so the kids wouldn't spot it. They did all of this without being asked. They just saw an exhausted dad and saved the day. And saved me an extra trip. Superheroes.

Called about a graphic novel made by marvel and to see if they had it in store. The gentleman on the phone was very nice to help me out and even check the store and on his system to see if they were around. Thank you for being kind to check and help out even though it wasn't available.
