Heroes & Hitters

Went in for my first time, immediately felt welcome, was politely greeted and found exactly what I wanted. Wonderful store, will be frequently returning.

The employee at the register was beyond rude. We were greeted in such a way we wanted to just turn around and walk out but we still decided to give this place a chance. Found a couple things but decided to look elsewhere that was more friendly and would appreciate our business.
They also have a serious bee problem with around 50−60+ bees that poses a risk to the customers by the entrance. They were not actively trying to fix the problem and it seemed like they really could have cared less.
If it were my store and I valued my customers it would be made my #1 priority.

Great owners and good book selection. It’s sparse on everything else but a reliable store to pick up your weekly books.

I just moved to Cromwell from California, so I did a comic crawl to check out all the local stores and this one was my favorite for a couple reasons:
–The store was clean and organized! You don’t feel cramped. All the back issues are kept in series much better than any other store in the area.
–They have a good stock. They carry comics beyond Marvel and DC, they have 3 areas so you can find things easily — new this month, recent, and back issue. They didn’t have as extensive a collection of back issues as another store I visited, but, again, it was organized so if could actually find something I’m searching for, so I preferred this store.
–On my visits I’ve had the chance to meet both of the owners (a married couple, if my memory serves me right), and dude, they are crazy nice people — I can see why they’ve managed to stay in business for so long.
–And lastly, they had a couple décor items from The Tick in the store — which I just take as a sign from The Lord that this is the place for me.

Let me first say, I went to «Omni» down the road and was treated like a bother more than a customer. I was pleased to stop in to Heros and Hitters to find a guy who took the few seconds I needed to answer a few questions about some old comics I had. I turned out they were basically worthless. My point here is, that I was treated kindly and went on my merry way. I may not be a collector but I am human, and was treated well here. Nice shop, good customer service. Thanks!

Good shop, but beware of the staff who are a little on the strange side. Good selection of books and the staff seems to know their stuff but come across as jaded.
