This store is a great place to go if you're into gaming or toys. The guy's display of them is massive. Ryan (the owner) is a really stand-up guy. Back issues extend mostly into the 90's, though you will find some stuff from the early 80's and even 70's there. He does run some specials on them on occasion. There are several tables set up for gaming too. It's definitely worth a drive even if it's well out of your way.

Full disclosure: I'm a long time friend of the owner: Ryan. However I was never a comic book reader until he opened Charging Star Comics. He's knowledgeable and excited about comics and action figures. With that plus honesty and earnestness towards his customers, I'm not sure what else you could ask for. One of these reviewers complains about pricing on selling comics to his store. You've got to keep in mind that it is a store. He is taking these items in as inventory. Any store that will give you what the book is worth, or even 50 to 75% of it's worth isn't going to stay in business. They have to sit on that book and try to sell it. Some people just don't want to hear it though. They've walked in with their precious treasures or finds and want to turn it in to riches. But anyway, CSC is a fun place that does it's best to give its customers what they want!
I stopped by there for my birthday and was very impressed with the amount of action figures he had there. By far the best selection in area. I will def be back and I will let everyone know that this is the place to go for a great selection and great service.
Great selection of comics and action figures. The owner sells the products he loves, so he is always very friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic. The store has a great atmosphere as well, with action figures set up all around.
Great comic and action figure store. I've been shopping here for years and Ryan is always willing to go out of his way to get me anything I need. If you are looking for reasonably priced back issues or new releases I highly recommend them and no one else has their selection of action figures from comics and movies.
Fantastic place for all sorts of nerdery. Comics both new and a huge selection of back issues. Lots of trades, graphic novels, and action figures. The owner is super friendly and accommodating.
Far better than Fat Cat, I go there for all my comic needs. The only thing that could improve this store is if they sold Magic the Gathering Cards. Last time I went they did not. But anyways, it's hella excelsior!
Stopped by the shop with my family a while back. The first half of the store looks alright but the back looks likes the Charging Star Daycare. The employees are nice but seemed uninformed about most comics. The store's focus seems to be low to mid-tier wall issues and action figures, and they have a very small selection of trades. Sadly I won't be returning because there are better shops in the area.
