Great combination of friendly local comic book sure and tabletop gaming store. Very friendly and service oriented owner and staff. I ordered a game that I knew would take a bit to get in and was kept updated along the way until the game arrived. Very happy with the service. Beside the normal selection of comics, collectibles, TPBs, borderlands and TCGs, they have a nice selection of comic books targeted at younger audiences. My 6 year old daughter picked up a few items and saw lots of stuff she wants to return for.

Nice small family on comic shop right off of Plainfield. Lots of selection, including board games and TCG. Great staff willing to help you find things and if they dont have it they will order it. 6 or so tables set up for table top gaming, not a huge space but passable. Good atmosphere.

I cant speak highly enough about this place. The owners, Don and Sherrie, are both such friendly people, they really make each visit a delight. Every time I come in they have my pull list at the counter by the time Ive finished browsing, and Ive always been given such a warm genuine hello. Aside from the amazing owners they have a great selection available that is really well organized. 7/5 stars

Don, the owner is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Him and his wife run this amazing comic book store and have introduced me to so many graphic novels and Comics. I drive an extra 30 minutes sometimes to make sure that I buy my comics from the store. Do yourself a favor, stop in and talk to the owner sometime and you will see why this is the best comic store in West Michigan. Highly recommend!!!!

The Comic Signal is the best comic book shop I have ever shopped at, and I don’t say that lightly. I’ve moved around a lot so I have been a regular at 10 different shops around the country and visited dozens and dozens more. This is the best one, by a long shot.Don is the friendliest owner ever. He doesn’t just learn your name, he treats you like family. He will go way beyond the extraordinary to help you get what you want, even if you’re not sure what you’re looking for.

The staff were friendly, prices were good. They have a HUGE selection of comic books but thats not my thing, I went there for magic cards. They have a small selection. Its a great store for comic books but they dont have much of anything else, perhaps they should branch out a little bit?

As the designated meeting place for our local science fiction club today, we were able to partake in the abundance of free comic books, take pictures with Starman, Catwoman and Speed Racer (complete with cool car). Our gracious host, Don (the owner), stopped to chat with us for a few minutes. I had a great time and look forward to doing this again next year!

I love The Comic Signal. It is where I buy all my comics. The owners are friendly and dont try to play the salesman like so many other shops Ive been to. On top of the latest and greatest comics or graphic novels, this place has got cool shirts, hoodies, and mad comic book/nerd accessories for reasonable prices. So go check them out and read something awesome!

Review №82

Honestly.... I love this place. I could live there if Don would let me. My kids and wife would miss me but I think I could make a convincing argument to make it my home. Im just kidding or course.This IS a great store though. Don is super smart about comic history as well as past, present, and future story lines. He loves comics and it shows. I love that its family run. After my first visit I figured that because I lived in Hudsonville the distance wouldnt be worth my time. Not so. I was hooked day one.You wont regret making The Comic Signal your place to buy your comics, games, or action toys!See you Wednesday (new comicbook day)!!
