Oxford Comics & Games - Atlanta, Georgia

Luis

I believe this is a bona fide Georgia comic institution. I've been flipping through floppies since 2007-2008 or so, give or take a hiatus here and there, and Oxford has just always been one of those names thrown around in the comic community. I should have prefaced this with, my heart belongs to another...I'm loyal to my local comic shop, but that shouldn't stop you from supporting Oxford, especially if they're your local shop. There's a lot to love here. A notch above plenty to curate your own pull list. Plenty of TPB's to get your comic fix in a more digestible form factor. Manga. You know, the backwards stuff. And lots of collectibles sprinkled throughout.

I did notice a lot of the figures I looked at were marked up, nothing too grossly over priced, but enough to warrant a price check to see if I can save elsewhere. Business is business, and the competition is fierce out there.

I'm glad I finally stopped by. I should have years ago. I mean I used to work at the Jaguar Land Rover dealership 2 minutes down the road for Chrissake. Now I can't dole out any kind of divine blessing, but I do hope this comic shop is around for a good long time, cause gems like this are getting scarce as the years go by.

I’m not from the area, but they had a book I wanted, and I love how carefully they packaged it. It arrived in excellent condition.

Ordered Absolute Flash #1 and it arrived in perfect condition. A few days late but that’s on the shipping company. The comic came very well protected and even a protective sleeve

This is a bit of a strange story. I live out of state and recently bought a book online from a certain store. It's a very niche book for a discontinued collection of dolls, and I was thrilled to receive it for Christmas.

Last weekend, I was in Atlanta for a concert and decided to visit the store in person. The selection was incredible – everything my geeky heart could want! I seriously considered buying several items but ultimately decided against it.

The reason I'm giving it three stars instead of five is that I felt very unwelcome and unwanted. This is just my personal observation, but when I walked in, the people behind the counter looked at me with an expression that seemed to say, "What is she doing here?" No one offered any assistance or even a simple "hello." I just felt like they thought I was lost.

Other than that, it's a nice store, but the service was definitely lacking.

Nice shop with a huge selection of comics and figures that would take any respectable nerd days to pour over. Will definitely stop by again when I roll through.

A great example of a classic neighborhood comic book shop. Has a bit of everything well organized into sections. Also a big fan of the limit one per customer on new releases

This place is the Mack daddy of ATL comics! lots of comics and graphic novels!!!! I actually am updating this review because the Oxford comics and game staff has 100% gotten better with everything. They greet you, they seem happy to be at their jobs, they’re friendly and more than happy to help you out. The only reason why I’m not giving them five stars is because their back issues are terribly overpriced. a lot of the books are obviously couple years old and have obvious wear and tear on most of the books from being a rifle through for years and they’re still asking more than cover price for most of these books.

Definitely strikes me as an old school shop. They have lots of modern comics. If it was printed/released in the last 3-4 years, they got it. Only downside to the shop is the new issues and 3-4 year old backstock issues arnt bagged or boarded. Even the old issues in the bins are not boarded, only bagged. There were not any graded books available, definitely strikes me as a comic shop that stays away from the collecting side and favors the reading side of the hobby. The staff was friendly and the shop was very full of merchandise. Overall, it was a good experience and would recommend.

This place is a literal gem and needs to be preserved. I've been coming here since I was a little kid (I'm 40 now) and it's just as awesome now as it was then. It's tough to find the old school comic experience and this is it, here is to another several decades of enjoying this place!

Fantastic game store! Lots of great board games and D&D supplies. Love that it's super LGBTQ friendly, thanks my friends! 🌈

Oxford is a wonderful comic book store. The staff are friendly. The comics are well organized. They have an online ordering system that is very convenient.
