Whether you are into any portion of geek/nerd culture, or are just a little curious about it, this is a great place for beginners and advanced dungeon masters alike!
As an avid comic reader and appreciator of all things "geek", I swing by Monster at least once a week, and sometimes twice! Mike and the staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, and more than willing to discuss just about anything you want to talk about! They all keep it light and fun, just as things in a well run comic shop should be. Toys, games, single issue comics, trades/graphic novels/hard covers, books, card games, if you've got a nerd passion for it, they have it or will order it for you!
Check the place out if you're shopping for a new shop, or even just looking for a break from the same old thing everywhere else! -

When it comes to choosing between Monster and the other south end comic store option, I'd choose Monster every time. For one thing, the staff is super friendly. They don't ignore me when I ask them a question while standing right next to them and they're clearly not trying to win any hipster fashion contests. They order a ton of books every week, so the title I want is always in stock. And the guys working there are huge nerds, which means they know what I'm talking about when I ask for something specific instead of forcing me to watch as their eyes glaze over and a giant question mark appears floating above their heads. Also, they remember me despite my infrequent visits. First-class establishment.

I've been a long time customer of the shop. The staff are great always welcoming. They've recently relocated to a larger location next to the old one. A great store just got greater, much more room to wander and look at all the products.

Great selection but they need a bit more manga. The store is well lit and organized very well. Staff is friendly and you could probably talk to them for hours about anything nerdy.

I saw the Batman light in the window... and I knew we'd all be saved.
But seriously, I thought that was a clever tactic. Not at all a comic book junkie, I traveled into Monster on a whim, fully prepared for sci-fi nerd city. (Respectfully)
Well, boys. Looks like fantasy fanatics can revel in the delights of full bodied archives. Rows upon rows of comics-- both limited edition and bulk-- are offered in plentiful amounts. Pictures aren't enough? Oh... well why don't you check out the sky-high wall selection of action figures- 'cuz there are lots.
Jeeze Louise, I'm not sure what to do with myself in this place, but the staff seem friendly, I eyeball the flurry of surrounding product and realize that yes, dungeons and dragons is indeed an actual thing. Cool.
For those in the market, this place should prove to be a gold mine. They appear to have extensive materials for both looking and buying. I didn't know where to start, but I felt the power of the jedi inside Monster's quarters.
The red sun rises... only you can decide your fate. -

Monster Comic Lounge is located along Gottingen Street.
It is a Hidden Gem, for all those Comic Fans. I actually went on a search for this store. You have to know where to look or you will miss it for sure.
I happened to meet the owner Mike. A pretty relaxed guy, I guess you would have to be in this business. I have never seen so many comics in my life. This store is jammed packed full of adventure of all kinds, there is not an ounce of space not used. Mike has been at this location for about 4 years, but has been in the business for much longer. This store is know by an elite group of people already.
You will find your new and used Comic Books, Game Boards, Graphic Novels (20% off) always, Action Figures, Card Games. I am probably missing a lot, but lets just say, Mike has it.
Now, I have to say, it is worth the venture to see the Statue of Yoda (look at the picture attached). It is fantastic. Life Sized!!
Who knew Comics had such a large following. Well they do! Go and Enjoy.
