Oxford Comics is an excellent place to find virtually anything related to comics or other collectibles. They get in a massive selection of mainstream Marvel and DC comics, as well as independent stuff and manga. They also have a large assortment of peripheral merchandise, including action figures, clothing, posters and other items. They are a great source for hard-to-find or obscure comic-related items and prices are generally reasonable for collectibles.
However, the customer service is atrocious. A couple of the younger clerks are decent, but most of the staff are disinterested and unhelpful. One older female staff member is particularly rude and treats customers with exceptional contempt. The staff also do not appear to be knowledgeable about their merchandise and release dates for said merchandise. The store offers a ""hold""/""subscription"" service but does not provide any discount for hold customers, does not provide bags for hold customers and does not allow hold customers to reserve some promotional items.
Unless you're looking for an item you absolutely can't find elsewhere, don't bother with the poor customer service at Oxford Comics. New release comics and other items can be obtained at a number of other stores that actually appreciate their customers.
Pros: Great selection and variety of comics, manga, toys, etc
Cons: Terrible service
