Crescent City Comics

We noticed this on Yelp! and had to stop. 6-7 years ago I started collecting comics again for the first time in about 20 years. I've been out in Midland, TX where there was no comic shop so I had to order from Hastings (RIP). Then I moved back home to the Houston area and have not had any problems finding comic shops. But I always like finding cool comic shops when I go places, so when my wife saw this on Yelp! I had to check it out, especially since it had such great reviews. There is very limited street parking, and the alleyway next to it is a one way out, so go to the next street and turn into the back parking lot. When you walk in you just get a huge smile on your face. You're surrounded by comics. New issues are A-Z order on the left side, in the middle are older issues, and the right side are trade volumes. There are also a lot of toys and figures. The guys there were super friendly. It was a super clean place. They even let us use the bathroom in the back. I got a couple of trade paperbacks and my kids got dimes issues and books as well. If you're a fan of comics and make it to NOLA, you should stop in here and check it out.

Loved the place. More hobby shops should take note from this place. Great selections for comic nerds and other kinds of nerds.Got a killer statue of Harley Quinn, Bruce Timm style and some Bill & Ted Comics.Do yourself a favor and pop in.

Really big shop with lots of single comic and back issues at regular price. They also have graphic novels and manga. Ended up buying 8 comics. The lady behind the counter was very stoic though. I asked her a couple of questions and she seemed very bleak.

Fantastic!This place is amazing! Not only do they have comic books and graphic novels (I stopped in to see what they had to offer- Walking Dead wise) but they have tons of comic book related action figures, toys and gifts. The store is set up in such a way that everything is extremely easy to find. The staff was friendly and asked immediately upon my arrival if I needed help with anything.Whatever you are in the mood for, you are bound to find it here. I will definitely return.

It's a pretty decent sized comic store. I just wish they carried a larger Manga selection. I went in for two specific comics that I could not find anywhere else. Idve given it a four star rating but when I walked in there was hardly any light. Thankfully I have okay vision to navigate through the store but for someone who has trouble seeing in the dim light you may have a hard time. I don't know, maybe the power was out ‍

Killer comic shop and absolutely FANTASTIC customer service !! Les and Anne ROCK !! I'll definitely be goin' back and I couldn't recommend a better spot for comics and collectibles

Came down from Memphis for a vacation, decided to drop in to this shop. The drive was horrible due to festivities but well worth it.Friendly staff, great selection. I filled in some runs I could t find at my lcs for better than eBay prices! Very pleased. If your in the area stop by, this place has great stuff and is in a nice location outside the main part of the city.

Been collecting comics for 30 plus yeas. I was traveling trough on business and decided to take a 20 minute UBER from downtown to check out this store. The first comic I picked up (which I planned to buy), I carefully took out of the package and immediately had it PULLED out of my hand by the owner I'm assuming the older gentleman). He said "if any comic was to be opened he would have to do it". I said I wasn't worried about covering a $5 comic and he replied: "Well apparently you are if you're taking it out of the package". I politely called another UBER and left. RUDE RUDE RUDE. Budget when I walked in $1,000 plus, walked out with $0. I will never be back. Note: If someone is wearing business attire and a Rolex watch, they can probably cover their bills.

Went to this location about a month ago and my experience was awful. I was not greeted by any of the two workers that were on staff nor was I ever asked if I need help with anything. I came in looking for manga and had to walk around the store aimlessly trying to find the selection. I was asked to place my backpack behind their counter by a female employee which I obliged but noticed other customers with bags around the same size as mine was not asked to place theirs behind the counter. This was around the time free comic book day was happening and they had leftover comics that were up for grabs. I was never told this and had to find this out by overhearing conversations. I felt as if I was being profiled and disregarded. For that, I will not be returning. If you're going to run a business based around bringing a community together through the medium of comics please learn to treat all customers in the community with the same amount of respect and attention.

Very good selection of current issues and variants, but I was not impressed with the backstock. The only had modern books mostly marvel, very little DC, Image, and I found only about 10 issues of the new bloodshot series from the current valiant run. Some of the bins were packed too tight and I hate when there isn't a little wiggle space when your browsing the bargain bins. Also, you won't find any bronze or silver age to look for unless it's on the wall and it is a key issue. They didn't get five stars because of the staff. I don't live here and travel for a living so I like to go comic hunting when I'm on the flying around. So when I purchase comics I always ask for some cardboard prices to pack my books in my roller-bag safe from damage. I had never run into a comic shop that found this challenging. The staff here did not know what I meant and wanted to sell me a fancy carrying case, or hand me a giant box. It was an awkward moment trying to explain what I meant when I thought that this was common knowledge in our hobby and with how to safely handle or ship our books.. they also didn't seem helpful at that point and just wanted to go back to staring at their phones.. oh well, I will be back as long as the books are there and my work keeps sending me to NOLA on occasion
