Review from Cory C.

I haven't collected comic books or hockey cards in longer than I'd care to remember. With that being said, Phoenix Comics has always had the best selection of whatever I needed. Their supply of comics, toys, figurines, is unrivalled as is their knowledgeable staff. I was proud to choose Phoenix Comics as the place to introduce my childhood obsession to my kids.

Nothing beats a well-stocked comic store with an extremely friendly staff. That's what you get at Phoenix. I've purchased comics and toys here many times, and am always astonished at their great selection.
I love the toys they stock too. I could wind up spending a fortune on everything there. Most recently, I purchased a Little Sister figurine to add to my Bioshock collection at work. I think I am now sufficiently geeky.
On the same visit, it was free comic book day, and the guys at Phoenix made sure we didn't leave empty-handed. Thanks to them for being so awesome.
If you love comics, graphic novels, and toys, this is the place to go in Calgary. -

Phoenix is a great place to buy comics. Of course, this is probably the most cramped space in the universe. While searching the shelves, it almost feels as though every piece of merchandise in the place is going to come crashing down on you.
Here have a reputation for delivering an excellent range of the most popular and upcoming comics, models, miniatures, games, and more. They also offer other fictitious reading material. Phoenix has been around for a good long time and I don't think they'll be going anywhere anytime soon. -

This is the best comic store I have ever been to They sell lots of comics, graphic novels, models, action figures, and other collectibles. I've picked up quite a few Squee and JHTM comics for the actual cover price. Here in Edmonton, the comic stores charge more for some reason.
The toy selection here is amazing. I've found lots of cool action figures like Hellraiser, The Simpsons, Ghost World, A Christmas Story, and Movie Maniacs. All of these are reasonably priced, and they mark down their old stock. I've picked up some action figures for like $3-4 dollars, marked down from like $16!
Phoenix is also attached to a record store. They sell lots of CDs, vinyl records, and t-shirts. They have everything from punk to electro. I've bought a Le Tigre CD and record, both brand new for a really decent price.
Some of the guys that work here seem kind of anti-social, not that I mind, because I'm fairly socially awkward myself. If you ask them for help, they are really nice though. Also, I've heard one or more of them are in a band. I can't remember the name of it. -

Ok, so I'm secretly a bit of a closet-nerd. Pheonix is my favourite because they don't judge for the identity-hiding sunglasses or the baseball caps (a girl has to keep her reputation), and they cater to all my comic needs.
They've got tons of merch - all the Marvel and DC stuff. And tons of comics. They also have an excellent selection of manga and anime related items. And they can order anything you want! They have excellent service. The entire store is crammed full, but the guys at the front can help you find anything you need.
And now I'm going to pretend like this was never written... Comic books? what are those... -

Phoenix Comics is a hip, well stocked store that's a dream destination for comic book aficionados, both young and old alike. The SW location is actually a 2-in-1 shopping experience, as there is a vast storehouse of model kits in the adjoining room. In the main room, you're greeted with a dizzying array of comic books and graphic novels. They also offer anime DVDs, Manga, and comic book themed toys.
Comic Book Guy would approve. -

Phoenix Comics is an eye catching store on the western end of the ever so popular 17th Avenue. The store has an open door policy to the record and CD store next door, which helps you kill two birds with one stone.
This establishment has a pretty good selection of comic books, mags, action figures, t-shirts and paraphernalia; not as thorough or immense as Another Dimension Comics in the Kensington area but nonetheless would nourish any comicphiles hunger.
There is also an ample aisle row devoted to a nice selection of models; ships, tanks, and even UFOs.
Staff at Phoenix knows their stuff... that's for sure, tons of collectors in today, and although I am not a comic collector I can see them pretty hyped by the selection and that is always a good sign -
