Very small comic book shop in size but cute small business. Giving it 3 stars for the pet store smell. The cat urine odor was over powering and gave us a headache. The cats laying down outside the door should have been telling, i worry for the owners since prolonged exposure to cat urine can lead to respiratory issues later on but that is their business and i will respect how they choose to run it. Other than that smell, the prices were great, even had cute plants for sale and the cashier was very nice.

Just wanted to thank Black Sheep Comics for the today's experience. We were searching for a specific comic line and found two stores via Google search that was within 10 minutes of where we were at the time. The first comic store had plenty of walk-around space, but the owner/operator was in the rear of the store with an 'only engage if approached' posture so we spent 4 minutes there and left. The second comic store, Black Sheep Comics, was a quaint and small establishment that maximized their space with current comics, statues, statuettes, novelties, nostalgic collectibles, and personal touches such as homemade brownies, cookies, and hand-made drawings. The owner/operator was very down to Earth and stayed directly engaged in conversations and inquiries the entire 25 minutes. Definitely a place to check back in from time to time and will definitely recommend to any and all new comic book collectors and those that want to explore miscellaneous nostalgia.

The owner is very friendly and attentive. She also knows her stuff and will get you comics that are coming out. It's a small place but it has a good atmosphere. Love the music she has playing in background. I would definitely recommend the place for anyone likely for comics, pops, and action figures. Also like that she will remind you when your comics arrived. But more importantly she is very honest.

After visiting this store, I felt compelled to leave a review with some honest, constructive criticism — though judging by the owners’ defensive replies to other reviews, I doubt they’ll take it that way. Every negative comment seems to be met with hostility or deflection rather than accountability.nnFirst, the smell. The store reeks of cat litter and urine — unmistakably so. The owners have cycled through every excuse imaginable: Scentsy burners, the gym next door, mold, outdoor cats, indoor cats that “don’t use the litter box,” and now supposedly “feral cats.” Anyone who’s ever owned a cat knows exactly what that smell is. The inconsistency in their explanations alone speaks volumes.nnSecond, the customer service was terrible. The woman working there was curt, dismissive, and clearly irritated to be dealing with customers. It’s one thing to have an off day, but it’s another to make your guests feel unwelcome. Based on other reviews, this isn’t an isolated incident.nnIt’s unfortunate, because the shop could have potential — but until the owners learn to accept feedback without making excuses and address the odor and attitude problems head-on, I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else waste their time either.

Cool place and definitely has a good catalog of comics but it is a bit unorganized but I like that. It has a charm that very few places get right, that being an indie, small, mom and pop shop made with passion and comic needs and that's what makes it special. Though I will say that the store is very hot and there is a strange smell where most of the comic books are. I know comic needs don't get the best repetition thanks to stereotypes of not showering, but that doesn't mean the store should follow that stereotype. Though it's a nice shop and definitely worth the visit. (Even if it looks super sketch)nSide note: it would be nice if there was a way to order comic books online from the store or some method so you don't go there and hope that they have what you want. I'm not sure if you guys have something like this, but I forgot to ask the clerk when I went there.
