Queen City Comics (the other one)

It's a dream of mine to have more comic book-related posts than food-related posts. Some day!


Check out this glory. Comics upon comics. I can say that Queen City Comics-- both branches, the one in Fairfield and this one in Pleasant Ridge-- have the best selection of comic books that I've seen in Cincinnati.


It's a bit overwhelming, to tell you the truth. I walked out empty-handed, which is rare for someone as geeky and impetuous as I am. But there was too much to take in. And that was only comic books-- while many of the stores we've visited have some additional board games or Warhammer sets, this was 99% comics. They know what they know.

(They have a website now! I swear they didn't before.) Queen City Comics' website: http://www.queencitycomics.com/

Queen City Comics

When we posted about Clifton Comics, a friend mentioned that we should hit up Queen City Comics in Fairfield. (No website of their own? Gross. Will run social media in exchange for Batman merch!)

If you're into comic books, this store is incredible. Spacious, comfortable, jammed with comics and graphic novels from wall to wall.

However, if you're into a wider range of geekery, you're going to have to look elsewhere for your gaming gear-- no dice, board games, Warhammer figures, etc. You can score some trading cards and Marvel posters but Queen City specializes in your comic needs (and does that very well).

From what I've heard, Queen City offers a comics discount if you open a folder with them-- you tell them what comics you want, and every week they pull those aside for you and have them ready when you visit. Maybe this is standard across comic book stores? If it isn't, it ought to be.

Queen City is way-the-eff-out on Route 4, so swing by next time you're going to Jungle Jim's.
