Great Selection!

by daveknockwin

There are many comic book stores scattered throughout Houston. Stores that come to mind include Nan's Games & Comics, Midnight Comics, Bedrock City Comics, and Third Planet. Each Houston-based store has its fair share of positives and negatives. For one, even though Nan's Games & Comics has the biggest selection of board games, it has the highest prices. And although Midnight Comics opens until midnight six days a week, it has the weakest selection of items. And even though Bedrock City Comics doesn't have that large of a selection, it is the cleanest and most organized.

However, unlike some of the worse shops (Nan's and Midnight), Bedrock City Comics' positives outweigh its negatives. For one, the store has the largest selection of collectibles and memorabilia out of any Houston-based comic book shop. The store sells the largest variety of merchandise out of any comic book shop in Houston (nothing even remotely compares to their Star Wars collection). However, the store does not come without its negatives. For one, the store looks very rundown from the outside (not to mention the inside!). Additionally, the store is very unorganized and cluttered. In other words, everything is everywhere. There is no sense of organization apparent in the shop. However, the fact that the store is so large makes up for this.

So in conclusion, if you are looking for something in particular, Third Planet is your best bet due to its large selection!

• Pros: Great Variety, Large Selection
• Cons: Rundown, Unorganized

Best Comic-Book Store in Town!

Third Planet is by far the the coolest place for your comic, action figure and gaming needs. This place is HUGE! They have everything! The staff is also incredibly helpful and polite. Not to mention the guy with the long hair is hot! Seriously though, check out Third Planet. You won't be dissapointed.

Awesome Place

I've been a subscriber here for about a year now. And the service I get is second to none. I order kind of off the wall, oddball kind of stuff and they have no problem getting ahold ot it for me where as other stores sometimes don't even bother. The guys who work there are pretty cool and always fun to chat with. I don't think I'll ever buy anywhere else so long as I live in Houston.
