It Is So Weird To Be Talked About You Guys
★★★★★Lavell R.I love Challenger's they always treat me super well, especially W Dal, Patrick and Molly. I've been coming to them since 2016 and they have never let me down! if you ever need a new comic shop where you need excellent customer service, a subscrition box, and really good recommendations this is the place
Yelp Reviewer
★★★★★Johnny MartinezAmazing staff! MASSIVE selection of items. If they don’t have it, they can most likely order it.
Google Reviewer
★★★★★Randy L.Sidekicks is the best place to find original creator driven books for kids. I'd highly recommend Investigators or anything by Sara Varon. There's also a ton of "educational" comics that don't feel like learning books at all, just good fun. I love that the owners put so much effort into this store within a store. My kid is never disappointed when we come here, thanks again to Dal and Patrick!
Yelp Reviewer
★★★★WH ParkThe comic store everyone says you should go to if you are from out of town and I can see why.
Nice layout with lots of comics catering to all tastes and a good selection of related merchandise.
Friendly staff as well.Google Reviewer
★★★★★Marilyn S.my favorite comic store in the city!
They bring in new comics every week and always have the best selections!! They have really allowed me to expand my collection and learn more about the graphic novel comic world !!Yelp Reviewer
★★★★★Adrieono ShanklinI randomly looked up comic book stores in my area while on break and came upon this shop. It's clean, friendly and professional. They had many things I was looking for and even things I didn't know I needed. My questions were answered and looked the taping station to protect my comics. Will definitely be back.
Google Reviewer
★★★John Paul Y.It's alright. Pretty standard stuff here. They do do events sometimes so that's a plus.
Yelp Reviewer
★★★★★Matt B.My favorite comic book shop in the Chicagoland area! I've had a pull list here for years. Always stocked with the best new books. Their tpb and HC stock are uncanny. Highly recommended!
Yelp Reviewer
★★Barry K.Corporate comic book store all the way, for the slacker crowd I suppose, all the new stuff you could want or order from Diamond Comics. Nothing in the way of other media, like related film or television items, any other media. If you want the newest comics and graphic novels, a great place. For those into comic collecting, horror, sci-fi and fantasy, a real bore.
