Maximum Comics

Great comic book store! It’s neat, clean and well organized. The staff is always very friendly and remembers us when we come in, which is practically every week. We love coming in and saying hi, we always receive the comics we need or they will call other stores to see if they can get it for us. Great store!

Small store tucked in to a suburban strip mall, saving Henderson from being a complete cultural wasteland. As far as priciness goes, they mark the Marvel Legends up less than the comic stores in the Northwest do.

The store is small but the employees make it great. I’m sort of new to the whole comics scene and the guys who work here are super knowledgeable and make it easy to figure out what the heck it is you are looking for. This is nerd central so there is ZERO attitude or snobbery in here — everyone is welcome.
The comics are well organized and they can help you track down what you want, from the new releases to the older vintage books. There’s a small selection of novelty toys, game dice, superhero goodies, lots of POP figures at reasonable prices, t-​shirts and even a kid’s section. They have lots of really nice plastic protectors for your treasures too, most priced around $ 2.
One of the coolest features at this store is that you can start a «subscription» box for free. Just tell them what you are interested in (Star Wars, a certain comic series or author, etc.), and they make a box with your name and stick anything that fits your profile into your box. You go and pick it up once a month (and decide what you want to buy and what you want them to put back on the shelf). This is a great way to make sure you don’t miss an issue! I love this store.

MAXED OUT
I’ve been trying to be a loyal shopper with Maximum Comics, but each time I end up frustrated. First of all, unless you are in the «comic book club» you are not treated well. «Regulars» are greeted by name, joked with, talked to, but newcomers are treated like crap. When you ask them a question, usually you get a blank stare, and they act like they have no idea what you are saying. The staff is aloof and unfriendly. They are inconsistent with product ordering and, unless it’s Deadpool or some other hot property, it seems like no one around there knows what they are talking about.
I’ve tried and tried, but now I will just buy my books on eBay like everybody else.

Awesome store! The staff is very helpful! If they didn’t have a certain comic you were looking for the staff was quick to suggest other titles. If your in the neighborhood feel free to stop by and check out the awesome stuff at Maximum Comics…

OH MY STARS AND GARTERS !
One day removed from Free Comic Book Day, it’s time to rate Maximum Comics.
I remember going to a comic book store back in 2006 and I met this guy. No it wasn’t your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-​Man, but it was this man name Jay who was quick to answer any questions I had about comics, and even quicker to shake my hand and say thanks for coming in.
A year later the first Maximum Comics store was opened. (UP! UP! AND AWAY!) Jay hasn’t slowed down since. (HI-​YO SILVER… AWAY!) There are now four different Maximum Comics Stores (ATOMIC BATTERIES TO POWER. TURBINES TO SPEED) spread throughout the city of Las Vegas.
Looking for that hard to find comic book? Chances are you can find it at Maximum Comics. I even saw the Superman vs Muhammad Ali special from the 1970’s! (Truth, Justice, And The American Way) Down in the Maximum Wearhouse (Maximum Comics #4) I saw the entire collection of Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spiderman comics for sale as a complete collectors set!
Mein Gott! It’s Nightcrawler of the X-​Men. Sing Cowabunga for The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Maximum Comics has statues and all sorts of collectables as well. If you wanted I bet you could find a SPOON (!) or even a statue of The Tick.
Maximum Comics host special events throughout the year as well. Maximum Midnight Movies (by Crom!), at Karaōke night I am sure you could sing any song you want (Here I Come To Save The Day!) a Dinner Club (Avenger’s Assemble!). Once a month or so there is a Maximum Aspiring Artists club that get together and share their artwork. (I’m The Best There Is At What I Do).
In 2007 my first of two daughters was born, my comic collecting all but stopped. Myself and the family still walk into Maximum Comics from time to time, the girls love looking at The Teen Titans, Powerpuff Girls and Hello Kitty items for sale. (WONDER TWIN POWERS ACTIVATE!) Jay and his Legion Of Doom… err… staff at Maximum Comics, always treat my girls with the utmost of respect. Every day at Maximum Comics it’s like SWEET CHRISTMAS!
BY THE HOARY HOSTS OF HOGGOTH get to Maximum Comics, and get in on the fun!

Every time I am in a big city or town I make it a thing to stop at local comic book store. I stumbled on this one by surprise though but I was familiar with the name being that I often pick up variants and that Maximum from time to time gets their own variants for theirs stores.
So I walk in, WOW. I was greeted right away. I start looking and notice how everything is organized. I volunteered at local comic book store in the city I am from and I know how much work goes in to that store, so imagining the effort that is put in to Maximum Comics Book store was a little mind boggling. The clutter was non-​existent which allowed me to navigate the store for my personal needs very easily.
I loved how they comics were bag and boarded and in alphabetical order. Did I say how everything was organized? Oh yes I did. I have been to other stores and in those spots, I have to go to different areas back and forth for things, but Maximum Comics did not do that to me!
Oh yeah, the place is clean and there were nice comfy couches I could sit on while I caught a breath at how amazing this place looks. The staff, like I said, they greeted me of the bat as I walked in, but they also treated me like I had been coming there for years. Not many comic book stores have customer service like that one! I mean being I already feel like somewhat of an outcast for being older and liking comic books and some stores I’ve been too has staff that continues to treat people this way, but this staff treated me as I was part of some secret society they were also a part of as well. I’ll make sure if I’m ever here again to stop by.

It’s pretty pricey for things you’d think would be pretty cheap. I went there looking for birthday presents for a friend, and they didn’t have what I needed, and the cashier got kinda pushy about me buying something else… I just wanted to leave. Was uncomfortable. I won’t be back.

Well after a few months since my previous review I did return and things have not changed one bit. The silver age, war and horror (old school subjects, from the 60s/​70s) drawers are still empty. I collect silver age, but I don’t have a specific item that I am looking for, I basically browse the drawers and if a cover appeals to me I buy it. To me not having a structure in my collecting makes it more fun, I don’t need to complete a full run and any random book or subject is just fine with me. The cover art is what I am mostly looking for (since 90% of the time the story in the book lets you down in relation to the exciting cover art). I really liked it when they had several drawers full of silver age that I could concentrate on and they were located in one place towards the beginning of the line of drawers. Now you can find silver age, but they are mixed into all the other hundreds of subjects and those drawers are so full you can’t even look through them without removing a huge stack so you can take a look. Some drawers are so tight, you can’t even remove some to make room, other drawers are packed so loose that the books are falling over damaging other books and folding them.
I did manage to find a few items that totalled about $ 15, but when I checked out, again no mention of the rewards program. Again this is a sticking point with me, since for all the years I was buying there it was at about the $ 250 in total purchases that I was finally offered a card for the rewards program. Ugh!

I went to all three Maximum comics locations during my last trip to Vegas and say that if they were all combined into one giant store it could be epic, but the obvious separation of their combined back stock really brings them down. Many back issue titles seem to be missing in their giant display cabinets and stretched out thin between the three shops. The decorations and statues in the stores look great and scream to fans «I’m a great store. check me out!» but true comic fans can see through it. The stores have average new stock and supplies. Prices are o.k. Nothing says came back over and over again. As a person looking for specific back issues, I won’t say that any of the stores in this chain are bad; they are just lacking due to being separated into three locations. They are worth a shot if your in the area. The one key note I discovered is that each store seems to have much different back stock and store 3.0 is much smaller than store one or 2.0.

This store is one of my favorites. I moved away from Vegas, but always make a point to stop in while in town. It’s clean, smells great and has the latest comics, statues and toys. If you’re looking for silver age, they’ve got you covered. Scored some great comics and had fun looking through the back issues. Customer service is always great here. The owner takes pride in all 3 of his stores. I recommend checking it out of you are in Henderson.

I love comics. Have since I spent my youth allowance on every book available. Now, I have to take out a second mortgage to purchase a comic book. J/​K. Meanwhile, Maximum Comics makes the experience of forking over my paycheck for a my little pony comic much more enjoyable. The comics are displayed alphabetically, not a small feat with so many titles. The bins are easy to look through and with every title you reserve, each week you receive one free plastic holder with cardboard. The staff is very helpful and they never make you feel rushed.
They also have a nice selection of die casts, plush comic toys, and various other paraphernalia. You and your kids will enjoy a trip to MC.
Tip. They almost always have free comics or previews to hand out, signings on occasion and even raise money for charity. They also give comics to the schools every now and then.

Love the comic selections.
I am a comic fans and love animé.
Great artwork and posters in the store.
Staff is very helpful and friendly.
Not like most comic stores where you feel uncomfortable when you walk in.

I usually go to the other Maximum location but this time we needed to make a trek to Henderson and check this location for some old GI Joe back issues. My best bud is the real comic guy… I just pretend to be a cool kid and tag along :-) I walked threw he doors and this place is big! They have everything and then some! We spent a long time in their just browsing at all they had to offer. We ended up walking out with a big stack of awesomeness :-) Yea our hold box is at the other location but I think we may start taking extra voyages to this location just to see what they got ;-)

Looking for something new? Maybe something old? Maybe you’re looking to start up a hold box?
MaximuM Comics has you covered. Seriously.
Every issue you buy comes backed and bagged, so you don’t have to worry about how you’re going to protect your comics. The new and recent issues take up a half-​dozen shelves that span an entire wall of the shop. They’ve got file cabinet upon file cabinet of back issues that have been painstakingly sorted for easy searching. They also have an extensive, and well organized library of trade paperbacks. The staff is also incredibly friendly, and genuinely interested in helping you find what gets you geeked.
Their deals are great too. All trade paperbacks are 20% off if you have a hold box opened with them. And all gaming supplies are 20% every day.
Great staff. Impeccably organized. Awesome deals. MaximuM Comics provides one of the best experiences you could have in a comic book shop.

I’ve been reading comics since I was 5 and have seen a number of comic shops come and go. Sadly, the prevailing theme of all these shops is an elitist attitude and obnoxious interaction with the clients.
This, however, is not MaximuM. The guys at the shop are friendly, smart and fun to talk to. Zac and Gabe are the best. I call them almost every Monday to add titles to my box and they say «No problem» and the books are in my box on Wednesday! I can’t remember the amount of times I have called other shops to do adds only to find them missing from my box AND sold out on Wednesday.
The shop is great too. You have room to walk, it’s spotless and well lit. Everything is easy to find. The back issues drawers are always well organized and the prices are great.
They also have events happening regularly. Parties at the stores, free movies at Rave and great contests.
Their customer loyality program is unlike any other too. It seems like I’m getting gift cards and free comics all the time.
In my 30 plus years of reading and buying comics, I can honestly say this is the best shop I’ve ever purchased from.
Thanks Jay and crew…

This place is so much more bigger than Alternate Reality but the location isn’t convenient to me (30+ minute drive!). There’s a wide variety of comics & bundles (especially Marvel & DC) at great prices. I’ll be visiting this store again but not as often as I would like to because of how far this place is.

Although, I stay loyal to Alternate Reality comics, I have to give this location credit for cleanliness, organization, staff support, and overall ambiance of it all. Is it me? or are the Maximum Comics completely obsessed with DC comics? I’m a Dark Horse/​Marvel kind of girl :)
What I enjoyed: Vast selection and variety, seating area, refreshments, posters, t-​shirts, Kidrobot accessories
Not a bad place to check out :)

This isn’t your typical comic book shop.
The floors are clean, the stock is well-​organized and the staff is friendly. When I first walked into this place, I was amazed at just how different this place is from other shops, it doesn’t give off the vibe of a typical comic store, but more of an established chain you’d see in larger cities such as NYC, Chicago or San Fran.
If you go in on a semi-​regular basis, the staff will start to recognize you and engage in your comic interests discussing story arcs and such. This is something you don’t get at most comic shops and validates picking this store over any other. If you’re going to spend money on comics, this is the place to do it.
Jay has created a sanctuary for nerds everywhere and I wish him continued success!
(I really need to stop spending so much money on those darn South Park Kidrobot figures.)

The store has a great layout with custom made back issue drawers that are the best I’ve ever seen in a comic shop. The staff is extremely helpful and have turned me onto several comics and indi books that I probably would never have picked up. They have a huge glass cabinet filled with awesome statues that tend to empty fast. They also have a gaming calendar with a varying schedule of interests, such as Heroclix, Magic, Yu-​gi-​Oh, Pokemon, and Beyblades! Jay the owner and staff, hosts many huge events such as comic artists signings from professionals in the industry, free movies at the Rave at Town Center, New Comic Day and parties for various events. If you love comics, new to them or even just want to know what the hoopla is all about, you owe it to yourself to check out MaximuM Comics in Henderson and see for yourself!
