This is by far the best comic shop in the area. The owner is enthusiastic and exceptionally knowledgeable about all things comics, and is highly involved in the Rhode Island Comic Convention. Every Wednesday I get new comics for the whole family. I'm looking forward to CBCS days to drop off comics for grading in the future; and visits by artists for signature opportunities.

Poor customer. I asked the guy behind the counter 4 times for help in an empty store and all he could do is stay seated and point over there. I said I’m new to I store shopping and I needed help his reply was it’s over there. I turned around and walked out. Definitely would not recommend going there

Awesome comic store. Nice variety of comics and collectibles. I buy comic book holders for my old comics here all the time. They're always in stock. They even carry trading card games, such as Yugioh and Pokémon, with all of the accessories you'll need for the games. (Deck boxes, sleeves, binders) Friendly staff as well, they'll answer any question you have.

I've been coming to Alternate on and off for years & I've never had a bad experience. Due to some health issues, I can't make it in as often as I'd like & by the time I get there, they might be sold out of what I'm looking for. The owner told me to call ahead & he'd hold my comics if they're in rather than making a trip for items that might not be there. But you can find comics, trades & all the supplies you need for your collection.
