What sets Oxford Comics apart from other comic stores in Atlanta is not their posters, DVDs, toys, etc. (I'd prefer those weren't associated with comics to be honest), but their vast selection of comics mainstream and indie. Places like Titan comics might have a an Image book or two, or a dark horse book if you're lucky. Oxford is the only store in Atlanta that carries the indie stuff. The staff can be kinda gruff, but most of 'em are nice. Besides, you shouldn't really need help. It's very well organized.

Yes this store has almost anything that you can imagine ever wanting in a comic shop, from a huge comic selection, back issues, comic memorabilia, toys, posters, t-shirts, statues, etc, etc, etc... but every time that I have been there, and I have been there a lot. And still go for something that may be hard to find other places. But every time I have been there the staff are not friendly at all. They never speak to you, when you ask for help they act like you are placing them at an inconvenience. They will help but they seem mad that you asked them for help. Another minus is discounts, other stores will give you a discount if you have a hold list with them and buy a certain amount each month. Other stores like Titan Comics give you up to a 20% discount plus free bags for your comics. Oxford will only give you 10%. And with the online comic business coming up with discounts up to 40% plus free bags and boards, and free shipping, on line stores like ComicSupply dot com are becoming more popular. If stores like Oxford don't start appreciating their customers, people will go other places to get their fix on comics and comic related items.

Pros: Great selection

Cons: Horrible Customer Service

This is by far the best comic book store in the ATL area. I shop at Oxford on a weekly basis and the staff is GREAT. The environment is very friendly and organized, the prices are also very fair. If you're looking for a great small business, this is it.

The shop has everything; atmosphere, collectibles, old comics, new comics, toys, American videos, Japanese videos. It's also a very well organized store which is a rarity when it comes to comic shops. You must shop here!

Pros: The store

Cons: Parking
