Reviews of Comic Book College

Laura Garcia (ShortyChicana)

Nice and cozy! Location on outside looks a little sketchy, but toootally worth it. Nicely labeled back logs, Sections are apparent, and the staff is really charismatic. It was a fun experience and the shop was clean and we'll organized

Justin “Coin Scout” Irvine

Although the Comic Book College has moved over the years it has not lost one once of heart, service, selection or luster. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking for comic books or pop culture items you've found the best place in town.

Carey Nadeau

ADORE the new location, absolutely love it! Very reminiscent of Mile High Comics in Denver--now you just need a Comic Cat to keep you company!!! Can't wait to watch you unfurl in this great space. For those who feel lost, look for the mushroom store, then go to the other side of the building and behind. It's on the opposite corner. Yay! Comic time!!!

amy mc

Cool store. Surprisingly busy considering how I’ve never seen it before! Lots of comics and cool figures and stuff.

Brady Houk

Amazing shop. This shop has a lot of great things about it but by far the best thing is the staff. Every staff member is friendly and it feels like a welcoming place. They have great offerings from new releases, back issues, more valuable back issues, and graded slabs. This should be one of if the only comic book store you should go to in the Twin Cities area!

Adriane Kuzminski (Smash Clay)

Great store layout and the staff is very helpful! Easy to find new stories and authors.

Philip Hoff

Amazing spot for collectors looking to fill in gaps in their back issues. Well organized and labeled. Very friendly staff as well.

Sherri Cleveland

HUGE wall to wall, floor to ceiling shelves & drawers of comic books & other items. I highly recommend this place if your a comic nerd!!

Burl Zorn

An old fashioned comic shop. Has new and older comic books. Great inventory and a nice layout. Recommended!!

Dylan Leisler

This place is pretty cool. Nice vibes, friendly, and actually a lot larger than I expected. Glad I stopped to check it out.

Nathan Wade

Hands down the largest collection of trade paperbacks I have ever seen in a shop anywhere. Great clearance selection to browse through and tons of great back issues inventory. Great display for current releases wrap around the shop and an impressive high-wall gallery of vintage classics sit above. Staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable with great recommendations.

Michael Wnek

Great place! Just waited way too long to pick up my pull list (3 months worth 'cause life was busy >.<) and not only did they hold onto the list, it was also sorted in perfect order. Highly recommended!

Ryan Waara

Not very obvious from the street, but inside was great. Staff very helpful.

Geoff Cuddy

Always the best selection and awesome friends staff. The best comic store in the Twin Cities. The new location is nice and spacious.

Maria Ludwig

A good selection of comics almost hidden away on Nicollet between 46th & 47th, since the door is boarded over and the signage isn't flamboyant like some comic book stores. Nice, knowledgeable staff.

Jake Brown

I am an avid comic book reader, and so when I moved to Minneapolis in 2018 I went to every comic book store in and around the twin cities to find the perfect fit for me to pull monthly titles. Comic Book College was the clear winner. Tim and his crew are kind, helpful, and very personable. They had my name down almost immediately after I made an account. Comic book college offers a giant selection of back issues, along with an enormous smattering of new monthly titles. If you’re bringing children to the shop, they have a far-superior-to-most kids section at the front of the store. The staff’s knowledge has never not been able to recommend the perfect fit for what I’m searching for. For me, the best thing about the twin cities is the state fair, and comic book shops—as they are numerous. And as far as comic book shops go, Comic Book College is the Mouth Trap Cheese Curds, or the Sweet Martha’s cookies, if you will. Simply the best.

Danny Carvanha

Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. They have helped my girlfriend who knew nothing about comics pick out some books for gifts. Hands down one of the best comic shops I've been.

Ryan Fralich

The very best comic shop in the Twin Cities, if not all of Minnesota. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and take time to get to know their patrons.

Troy O

Gave me a good deal on a Flash #175. Really friendly as well!

Shad Owen

A real deal local comic book store. Great place to bring your kids, find a hobby, or just get a couple books for some pandemic distraction. Comics are great to help kids reading! The staff are what really make this store shine! Cullen, Fro, Steve,Tim; they are always friendly, often witty, and know their stuff. They go out of their way to know their regulars. They get the books you want and take initiative to suggest other titles you may like. They carry tons of new comics, back issues, graphic novels, trades, toys, games, gifts...even a little manga and a few different card games. They have awesome supplies for the serious collector. It's a gem! You're guaranteed to find something fascinating if you look around. Not the biggest store in town but I'd argue it's the best by far.

Andrew Taylor

I have to say that this is the best place to buy comics in the Twin Cities metro, hands down. Sure, some shops have more to choose from in terms of collectibles, but the people who run Comic Book College always make sure you have the best experience while you’re in their shop and that speaks to me way more than anything else. Any time I’m looking for a particular book, arc, run, etc. they are always there to help and they don’t make me feel dumb for asking questions like I’ve been treated before in the past at other shops. They treat their customers with respect and love comics as much as you do. If you’re looking to buy comics locally, as should you be doing especially during these uncertain times, this is the place to do it.

Johann Hauser-Ulrich

These guys are great. They should charge me rent, I spend so much time in their store. Great selection all around and a solid discount trade and graphic novel section, specifically. An excellent Minneapolis fixture.

Ethan P

Best comic book store I've been to in the twin cities. Great staff and selection

Georgia Hott

Of the comic shops I frequent, comic book college is my favorite. They have an excellently cataloged store with A LOT of back issues and trades. Staff are helpful and friendly and always up for a chat about their stock.

ryan lowe

My favorite comic shop in Minneapolis. Very well stocked back issues and always well graded and priced pretty much on par with Overstreet so you know it's fair without running and checking the internet (I know, I also work at a record store...). They also have $1 bins. Always a plus! Knowledgeable and chill staff as always. Highly recommended.

Jon Durmin

Comic Book College is one of the best comic stores I've ever visited. The staff is ever welcoming, never gatekeeping. Their selection of back issues, collected editions and new releases rivals online retailers. If you live in the Twin Cities metro or are just visiting, do yourself a favor and visit this shop.

Liam Stoddard

Large selection of comics, both old and new. Great collectibles, including some interesting vintage. Friendly and helpful staff. Was a great place to peruse.

Andrew Strickland

Seriously, this place is the best. They have a wonderful selection of comics and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I came for a specific series and they pointed it out to me and told me that they expected to receive more issues of the series. I can't wait to go back !

Jeff Iblings

This is my go-to local comic book shop. I admit, I miss the old location's charm, but the new place is well lit, spacious, and wonderfully laid out. Everyone there is friendly and kind, and they also have a vast collection of back issues and trades. Easy parking situation, and convenient location. Check them out if you are in town.

Max Haseltine

The best place to get comics in the entire metro area! They have a best selection and prices that can't be beat, absolutely love it!

Jeremy Alm

I went in for my first Comic Book College experience and left more than happy! Great selection, great staff, great prices on back issues! Plus, it has an awesome comic book store vibe (those of you who care about this will now what I mean). I'm now a huge fan and will go back as often as possible despite living 30 minutes away.

Comicdey AK

Spent a little time and was able to find one GA book before heading out. Staff was friendly and helpful and even directed me to other areas with more of my GA focus. Looked to have a decent selection of silver age and newer comics and had the old store feel which I like so much.

Mordecai Lovacheff

Walking in to this place is like being a kid again. Getting to shuffle through the boxes, seeing the huge selection. The guys know me and my buddy and they remember our tastes and stuff. They are always patient with us and are willing to answer any questions we have 5/5 have definitely recommended that other people visit this store.

Leo Deluna

Clean and a very wide selection of figures,comics and art. Back issues selection was not lacking at all. Totally recommend check them out!

Lia-Rasheedah Henry

I love going in here. The people are nice. Everyone has a mask on and it's never crowded. Pre-Pandemic we'd stay longer and there were more people. But, during the pandemic people don't linger.

Matthew E

This is a great example of the local neighborhood comic book store. The staff is always friendly and approachable. There is a great range of new and old comics, collections and graphic novels, and toys. There is always a box or two of quarter or dollar comics, as well as a section for kids complete with bean bag chair. With many other shops closing up in the Twin Cities, it is a good thing that the College is still open for comic readers new and old.

Mike Berg

Awesome shop and incredible customer service. Didn’t make me feel silly for being a noob. Very friendly, kind, and patient. Will definitely be back.

Larry Steed

Very spacious comic book shop. Really nice setup they have over there. I love digging through the cheap boxes and browsing all the back issues they have. A real pleasant comic book shopping experience.

Michael Kramer

What a great store. Everything is very well organized, back issues very easy to access. Best approach to back issue display I've encountered. Extremely friendly service. Added bonus - there's a fantastic selection of trade paperbacks and hard cover books.

Kyle Casello

One of my favorite comic stores in Minnesota. Always try to convince the girlfriend to make it our main stop for weekly comics. I love the staff and the amount of product they have is overwhelming but in the best possible way. I highly recommend this store.

Matt Rhiel

The store is, clean, they have a great selection, and they are organized in a straightforward way. The staff is very knowledgeable, and helpful, and always friendly. This is the BEST kind of local comic book shop.

James Listug

Stopped by this store after finding on the internet. Had plans to stop near Lake Calhoun for lunch. Friendly staff and definitely not pushy. Was allowed to look around and shop without being bothered. *Refreshing to say the least! Picked up great back issues in fantastic condition at a reasonable price. Also, decent stock of newer issues as well. I would shop again next time I visit MN. Makes me wish Madison, WI, had a store like this.

Dee

What a neat comic book store!

Sean Bankston

Awesome shop that usually has what I'm looking for and is helpful over the phone. I enjoy stopping by checking out their selection of comics. Friendly staff who are super helpful with answering questions.

Jeff Harris

Expansive selection of back issues meticulously organized and easy to find what you're looking for. Along with special sales bins, all back issues were reasonably priced...the expensive books were ones I expected to be expensive and nothing seemed marked up. If you're an out-of-towner and want to try to fill in your missing issues, this is a must visit!

Patrick John McLoone

We went there as soon as we could after the Covid-19 safety lockdown They had just been robbed. None of the good things had been stolen They only lost the cash Spent hundreds of dollars and need to control myself from going back They have a really good selection of Wall Books One guy was a clutz lol The owner was way too legit And super friendly

Jaco

Knowledge Base here is such that no other comic shop can compare. The staff can tell you every key issue from every series published since the golden age. If it were possible to duplicate what's going on here into a franchise- there would be no competition.

Adam Lawrence

Been going here since for over 25 years and they have been always fair and friendly. Great business through and through.

Ryan Johnson

Nice little shop. Everything from new action comics to graphic novels to old 50 cent Woody Woodpecker comics for the kids. No wow factor but all of the essentials at a good price.

Jim Keefe

The staff is helpful and the size of the store gives them plenty of room to really show off their inventory. The selection is fantastic - old stuff, new stuff, collectables - and I love that they will have dollar boxes of comics as well. Highly recommend!

Alice James

Love this shop. Excellent wide selection of comics and the staff are pretty friendly and helpful. Best comic shop I've been to in the twin cities area. Would highly recommend.

Jerry Brevig

They are very happy to hold my comic's for me and are lenient on pick-up time. Friendly and helpful.

Patrick Bauer

I've been to countless comic book shops and Comic College remains one of the very best. While many shops offer a wide variety of comics, not many can boast the type of ownership and staff Comic College has. I've had to scale back my weekly purchases many times over the years but, despite not buying as many books as other customers, I've never been made to feel less important. I've also been witness to several occasions in which I felt the staff was incredibly helpful to people visiting a comic shop for their first time, an experience that I'm told can be intimidating and awkward. Not at Comic College. It's my belief that, in any business open to the public, the staff is a reflection of management and ownership. This explains why Comic College provides a wonderful experience for both newcomers and aging fanboys like myself. Comic books are for everyone and everyone should give Comic College a try. Excelsior!

Chas Ruby

Great place to go and look but do not go looking for bargains..After looking for 2 hours I came to the realizations that most of the prices were double what you can get them fee-bay.

Bman For Life

Workers are really nice and help you when you need to find a comic book series and the store has a huge variety of comics

Billy Goddin

Great spot for comics and other memorabilia. Was a little surprised a couple weeks ago when I asked for a comic that released that day they were clueless and didn't have it out. But other than that they usually got it all!

Ephraim Nicholson

I'm so glad to have this place in the neighborhood. Loads of everything you want AND MORE. Little secrets and hidden gems around every corner. Absolutely love wonderful.

Drew Ledbetter

A hidden gem of comic book stores. For a small shop they have a big selection of back issues. Boxes of dollar and two dollar issues. Found some good comics I was looking for. I highly recommend you check it out.

Jonathan Kasch
