Big Planet Comics: what do users think?

Ian Grossberg: Wonderful comic shop with such a wide selection in such a small space. And apparently Big Planet does their own publishing!

Frank Chatterton: Nice, small, actually smaller than I expected but nice selection particularly for indy and local books. Not really worth the trip out there if you are an out of towner... like myself but the walk there from metro service is nice and the store is well kept, clean, organized and well stocked with a nicely curated selection of books. (I do not mean nice in a mean way its more like a cute hipster version of a classic comic shop)

Marissa: Great place to get comics, they have some good manga too!

Leo Lancaster: great selection atmosphere! The woman running the shop was very kind and knowledgeable.

Howard Smith: Big Planet Comics on U Street is amazing. They have a large selection of comics, trade paperbacks, and more to choose from. They also have variant covers of various comics that might interest you. This establishment is also for both new and regular comic fans alike.

Nicholas Moy: Best spot in the city hands-down. Love the local zine rack, their community focused events and helpful staff. This is NOT the straight-white-man hellscape of comic shop cliche - its apparent they work hard to find content for all audiences. The spot is small but they can order whatever you need!

Terri A: Great selection. I found a number of graphic novels that I have been looking around for, as well as being introduced to several new titles. The comics are shelved by genre, which is really helpful. I was particularly impressed by their Graphic Medecine selection, as those can be hard to find. You can also flip through a rack of comic zines. The store is up a steep flight of stairs and definitely not wheelchair accessible.

Kevin Duy: i bought two comic books for 8 bucks! one was crisis on infinite earths and the other was avengers reunited. good energy for comic book fans.

Fantom Comics: what do users think?

James Bacon: Nice shop with a great selection of current comics and graphic novels. Some nice displays and thoughtful art on the walls. Not a back issue store, per se, they had recent issues, and a solar box, but ample to enjoy and find, excellent selection for kids. Friendly staff for sure.

Andy Benavente: Awesome shop! Great selection of graphic novels and current comics! The young woman behind the counter was very helpful and provided some great recommendations from the writer of the book I picked up. Would highly recommend to stop in and check out!

Luis Pantoja: Great comic book store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I have always had a positive experience when visiting this shop. I highly recommend it!

Michael Kellar: Awesome little comic shop. Friendly staff, comfortable environment to look around, read a comic, and explore. If you’re in the area and looking for a space to check out some of the more recent interesting comics, definitely a good spot to check out.

Kamal C: @Fantomcomics in #washingtondc #dupontcircle is most definitely a place you would want to visit bo matter if you are a DC native or just visiting. Fantom Comics is among my favorites of all places to spend a little time, some things that makes this place cool is the chill layout,the little knickknacks,collectables,pins,snacks and more... even if you dont collect comics this place has something for everyone.😎👍🏻 "" Hey everyone this is kamal and I like to do reviews in my spare time from work and if you enjoy any of my post please like with a thumbs up and follow me on here on Google Maps or Instagram @chefkamalc Thanks and stay safe 🙏 mask up 😷

Victory Comics: what do users think?

Steve Carle: Friendly helpful staff. Huge selection of Magic and pretty good selection of Pokemon. Tons of singles as well. They do Magic drafts Friday at 630 and Sat & Sun at 12. There was also a big table and boxes of discount stuff.

Robert: The folks at this comic shop are the BEST! My daughter and I came in because she wanted “a nature comic about sloths” and I was looking for some of the new Magic the Gathering cards. After we completely befuddled the friendly person working the front desk, my daughter took a seat to rest and I went card shopping, figuring such a task would not be fulfilled on this day. Well, as the equally lovely person at the rear desk answered all my questions and showcased various products, the valiant front desk attendant tracked us down with A NATURE COMIC WITH A SLOTH IN IT!!! Quest fulfilled! Not only did my daughter get her comic, but I pulled some truly exceptional cards from the bundle I had purchased. Five stars are not enough for this crack squad. Kudos all around.

Natasha Trock: I love this place. Excellent books and staff. Very LGBTQ positive. Got to get over there more

Alliance Comics: what do users think?

Abe Garcia: I just moved to Md and was looking for a comic book store and this happened to be down the street from me, i was actually happy to see the amount of selections they had and i didnt have time to explore their downstairs although i was intrigued and hoping to be back. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Marcela: I absolutely love this comic store! They have so many selections and they also have a good selection of manga. The staff is so friendly! If I want to get a comic book that they don’t have in the store they end up ordering it for me without me having to buy it first and they call me once the book arrives at the store. The books are also in perfect condition, the pages are super crisp and the layout of the store is amazing cause I get so excited when I turn my head and find more books I didn’t think to grab. The downstairs is all discounted comic books and they have so many to choose from. Highly recommend this store! Support your local comic book store

LP: A smaller but Cool spot, friendly staff that will chat with you about their stock and your purchase.

tomato sauce: Really nice staff and a great environment!! One of my favorite places to stop by on my way to downtown

Aaliyah Brandon: Great comic shop, friendly and helpful staff and has a huge selection of comics

Barbarian Comics: what do users think?

James Pitt: Today was my first visit to this shop and I am looking forward to visiting again soon. The gentleman working was friendly and extremely helpful. He explained where we might locate what we were looking for and was super cool about pricing. He also recommended a nearby food joint (Filipinos Italian Specialties) that was amazing.

Jay Howard: Great selection and nice friendly staff love the cozy spot nestled in a awesome location.

Gedalia Walls: Good old fashioned comic book store with quality service. Dig around for classics, get all of the story with a graphic novel, or buy some novelty toys. Super helpful and knowledgeable staff/owner

Bob Bretall: Good shop for back issues, but the really old silver age comics are mostly low condition: VG- and lower. Lots of G and VG that were a bit over graded for my own personal taste, but grading is pretty subjective.

Doug Marcks: Cool store. They have material for a wide range of ages here. The knowledgeable and helpful staff took the time to help me navigate the Manga section (which I know nothing about) when I needed to purchase a gift. Check it out.

Spencer “Spe” Martin: Neat inventory. Surprised me when they had just what I needed: the complete collection of Great Lakes Avengers.

Dinh Pham: Nice little comic store. Good variety of comics to read through. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Steven Weisel: Great comics shop. No in-store shopping, browsing or pick-up. Curbside pick-up only; call ahead to place your order. Very friendly helpful staff.

Garth Renn: Good selection, good place to learn to play Magic: the Gathering (and buy supplies ) as well as D&D ( and buy supplies). Oh yeah, unlike a lot of comic shops, they have a lot of Gundam models! Plus, the staff enjoy talking Comics. Take that, C@#^cology!

Big Planet Comics: what do users think?

Clyde has Pressing Issues: Great store. Nice stock of new comics and trades. Not a huge selection of back issues. Employees, especially John, are super helpful and knowledgeable.

Josue Lemus: My favorite local comic/manga shop. I really appreciate the selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and location. I haven’t once had a bad experience coming here and for as long as I am living in the area, I’ll keep returning.

Carl Mitchell: I think they are good at keeping stock of what people are looking for, and not just random stuff.

Paul Herbert: This place still is great. I took my son to see where dad used to buy his comics.

ShyDoll Pinky: They had a lot of mangas / comics as well as figures. It was really clean as well and the prices are pretty fair.

Rais Djampa: They have a reward system, where if you make one purchase of $10 or more, on the 10th purchase you get $10 off. Really nice if you frequently buy comic books or Manga.

Go To The Real Serum Supers: what do users think?

Blessing Olaniyi: Service is great but the lawyers are better ;)

Tahani Jaber: These comics are very good. I suggest that you guys should make the price for your comics, based on how much your supplies were. Like for example, when it’s colored Or illustrated, etc. make them like $2-$3 or something.

Amelia Taylor: hi. my name is review. I think their comics are. very. very. comicey. if that makes any since. Blah. Owner cant keep his pants up though.

Denys Emmert: They did an amazing job framing a jersey for me. Also the staff is great and they have a good selection of sports cards and memorabilia.

Brian Carter: Talk about everything you want from a card shop. The two owners have been a staple in the community for many years. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable and the shop is set up beautifully. Products from sports cards to comics! Would recommend for anyone in the area.

J. C.: Came in looking to purchase my nephew’s love with $25 worth of Topps baseball cards. The gentleman working really spent some time and energy picking the right card for him. I appreciate that level of attention and expertise in serving a helpless fool.

YRY: Huge collection with anything you can think of, great selection to pick from. Owner was really nice and gave us a discount on our purchase, definitely will come back for another visit!

Joon Kum: Damon and the crew are awesome people. Fair and honest. One of the best baseball card shops around, along with a plethora of other collectibles. Happy rips, and one touch fills! Congrats on your new upcoming space!!! Can’t wait to get there!

Kyra Cundiff: Visited for the first time today and picked up a few comics. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Most people you see there are wearing masks which is great. There is tons to look at! You could spend hours in here if you had the time. There’s also a sister store that sells games in the same building with a restroom to accommodate guests. Great visit and well worth the trip

Sam Chin: Great place for comics, Manga and collectibles. Also has a Board game store with vinyl records and Gundam models next door. Stay is friendly and knowledgeable.

Capital Comics: what do users think?

D.A.: Recently visited here and they have a bonanza of everything that you might be looking for! I found hard to find editions and a lot of what I was looking for at the time I went there. Even though it was a smaller type of store space- they had quite a bit to offer and the staff was very helpful and the atmosphere was positive like you were at a Comic Con Convention!

Ches Spencer: Gotta stop by CC while walking Annapolis. Tons of content for all ages. Support your local shops.

Raul Torres: Great comic shop with tons of independents & old school comics! Tons of graphic novels & the Manager Coff is friendly & knowledgeable! Support your small businesses because they really care about their customers.

Che Wayne: I like the store, a very extended variety in Dc and Marvel comics books and many more. The manga selection is pretty limited, but everything else is really good quality and in excellent shape. Onve you here, you should come a visit.

Jac: Great shop, owner was helpful, solid selections.

Camera Otter: Great little comic store! Found an awesome issue of Battle Chasers and they helped me search for Crimson (another Image Cliffhanger Comic). I am from out of town, but they made my visit to Annapolis enjoyable!

Kramers: what do users think?

Jon and Amanda Lewis: Great little bookshop near Dupont Circle. They have a wide selection of titles & subjects and an attached cafe and restaurant. I found some wonderful vintage looking postcards such as a DC cherry blossom one and tried the Kramer’s Goober Pie. So incredible. I would highly recommend this place!

Arun Vishwanathan: Cute little bookstore in DC and you should stop by if in the area. Eclectic collection of titles and journals/calendars They do have a restaurant/diner inside, so you can grab a bite as well if you’re hungry. Wish I had more time to spend there..

Juhi Pac: Great bookstore-bar-restaurant combo right at DuPont circle. Very easily accessible by DuPont circle metro and good selection of books and atmosphere

Karen cohen: Helpful staff and a ton of books from every genre! Browsing is part of the fun or going there and see all the books you want to read. Have lunch in the dining area and spend the whole afternoon there. Huge children section,too.

C Luna: Food was fantastic! Especially the cherry blossom cheesecake :) Service was amazing- our waitress was sweet and funny. Definitely a great date spot ❤

John Weber: What a lovely place to look for books and grab a bite to eat! I only walked around the bookstore but from what I could tell, the food both looked and smelled amazing!! On the restaurant side, there are a couple lounge chairs/couches to relax in as well. Definitely stop by and drop in if you are nearby. I was able to park just a block away on a Friday night.

bruce hutson: Kramers. Since 1976, so it’s not new to many, unless you visit from outa town, like we did. Our friends, Bob and Lynn, came here on dates years ago, as many did and still do. Lots of stories within these walls, ups and downs, and today we sat in fleeting sunshine to taste the excellent Kramers Breakfast(tasty potatoes), and the full mouth, comforting Ham Benedict(such creamy Hollandaise). Oh, and the books fairly pulsed into our hands within the well laid out spaces. Feed your body, nourish your soul

Quarib Chowdhury: This is a Washington DC institution. Everyone should visit, buy a book, and eat at the cafe. I’ve browsed through this place many many times and even bought books and ate at the cafe. I ate at the cafe years ago but remember everything being delicious. As someone with a big sweet tooth, the apple pie crust desert was amazing. The expansion to bring the cafe into the bookstore actually works really well. I’ll have to revisit the cafe next time.

East City Bookshop: what do users think?

Ashleigh N. DeLuca: This is my favorite bookstore in DC! I go out of my way to stop by this bookstore whenever I’m in town. They have a smart layout which utilizes their small space well. It makes the bookstore look much bigger and doesn’t feel crowded or cramped. They have a great selection of books and their staff are all so knowledgeable and friendly. Throughout the bookstore you’ll see little green cards on the bookshelves which include the staff’s thoughts on specific books. I think this is such a fun idea and I love to spend half my browsing time just reading what the cards say. There is a certain charm that this bookstore has that none of the other DC bookstores have.

Laura Delgado: Cute & calming bookshop with a good selection, and lots of recommendations which is helpful, as well as reasonable prices. I found English/Spanish children books, and plenty of fiction & cookbooks that were very interesting.

Ren Jax: A fantastic find filled with a diverse collection of local writers and national favorites. The staff is very attentive to customers needs willing to suggest finds if needed, or seek out authors. The downstairs space has more choices including graphic novels and other comic books. There is also room for small gatherings to hear readings of works.

Andreana Morris: Have been following one of the book sellers on their tik-tok for a while. Went in and enjoyed ever moment. Got to meet the book seller and they helped my girlfriend and get a bunch of books to read for our after OFMD pirate brain rot. Met other queer folk. Had the best time. Will be back soon.

Belle Ellrich: The staff here are super nice and extremely helpful. I live out of state and pre-ordered a book. Due to having ADHD, I forgot to change my address on my pre-order after I moved. They were able to catch my order before it shipped and helped me change the address without extra cost to me, even though I offered to pay for the mistake. They even called to confirm that they had the correct address before it was sent out. Because of this, I highly suggest supporting them and shopping from their bookshop. I will be shopping here again in the future and look forward to my next purchases from their store.
