Review from Miranda J.
Dartmouth, NS
I love this store! The first time I went in I spent a half hour just chatting. The store is pretty small but they are clean and well lit. It has a very welcoming and warm atmosphere. At this point the store is still pretty new so they only have a small selection and barely any manga, but I can't wait to see these guys grow.

Review from Ben B.

First off, I love that this place is about a three-minute drive from my house. Why? Well, those of you who end up shaking up with a geek (who managed to hide it very well during the crucial first dating months) will understand. Let's just say there's nothing a bobblehead Transformer can't fix...
Giant Robot Comics is far from a giant store. In fact, it's pretty wee and really narrow with racks running down the center and all other product displayed on the walls. When I was in, there was a tournament of some sort happening on tables covering the back half, and the main cash counter took up the front half, making it reeeeaaally hard to try to see the merchandise from a distance and damn near impossible to shuffle your way close enough for further inspection.
As for what they've got, a solid half of the store is dedicated to comics which is a definite plus for anyone looking for 'em. I was actually really surprised by how many there were and they were all really nicely displayed for easy viewing. The action figures, toys, board games, and pretty much everything else was on the opposite wall - less than some other stores, but again, this really felt like a comic destination which they do really well.
While it wasn't an easy shopping experience for me, the staff definitely turned things around. Thanks to their friendly and helpful attitude, not to mention a killer sense of humour, I'm definitely teetering between a three and four-star rating. Will Giant Robot get the coveted four-star in their clutches, unlocking unlimited Yelpy power? Tune in next time for the exciting conclusion of this review.
