A mixed experience with this store. In the past I found what I wanted, but on a recent visit it was not positive. About half a dozen staff doing inventory or something keeping them busy and cardboard boxes piled high in the centre. Perhaps they have a storage space problem or they are moving.

I circled the store twice looking for manga, found none and left. I know they used to have lots of manga, but this time, a disappointment.

I've been a regular customer at the Bank Street location since 2006. I've always had great service there and the staff members are friendly & helpful. If you walk in there and the store looks disorganized and in chaos, it is typically because you are catching them either preparing to attend or just coming back from running a booth at a convention where they bring a big chunk of their inventory for & display and selling. These guys love & know their stuff. I'm happy to support this local business every Wednesday for new comcis day!

Great service, and really good selection of manga and comic books. I typically find what I'm looking for, and then some when I'm there.

Only downside is that they've stopped stocking anime DVD'S for years, which if they did start restocking them, would easily make them 5 star worthy.

It's an OK store, but the older selection is pretty limited. That and I have never really forgotten when they sold me a broken statue and refused to refund even though I noticed and brought it back the same day

They should change the name of this place to the Pokemon card shop, because they don't give a damn about comics. Nothing has boards on it, everything just rolls around loose in their drawers taking damage, and then they complain back issues don't sell. The handful of collectible books that are up on the wall are priced like museum pieces: Wolverine 2 (regular series) $40, Amazing Spider-Man 299 $75, and so on. Today, I heard the store manager take a call, and turn down comics for sale without even asking what the guy had.

The team knows well in comics and can find a selection of comics that I had not even imagined.

Overall, this is a great little shop. It's really well diversified in terms of the stuff it carries (comics, manga, toys, costumes even). In terms of comics it's mostly focused on the mainstream, though it does have a section for local comics and the staff do a good job at creating sections that make selection easier for people who might not know what they're looking for. The staff were friendly and courteous, and all in all, it made for a good visit.

Comics, games, books, memorabilia, clothing and action figures. I'm sure I missed something but this is the best place in Ottawa to indulge in your pop culture hobbies. The staff is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Huge selection and if they don't have then they will order it for you. Just a wonderful place to hang out and take it easy. A Bank Street institution.

Great place,
