I'm going to be as objecive as possible in this review. That being said, this is my favorite comic store of all time. How's that for objectivity?

Captain Comics is located just on the outskirts of downtown Boise. The shop has basically everything you could ask for as a comics fan. They have new issues from almost every publisher, a well stocked Trade Paperback Selection, as well as an entire upstairs dedicated to back issues. I filled many a hole in my collection by using that room. Additionally they have tons of games (magic, heroclix) and Superhero apparel. They do have some higher priced back issues as well. Last time I saw the majority of them where Spiderman, but there was some Daredevil and Avengers as well.

The staff is incredibly friendly and will go to great lengths to help you find/order whatever you are looking for. I could/have spend/spent hours in the store just talking comics with the owner (corbit) or any of the employees there. One point, if you are going to Captain Comics to sell a collection make sure you are aware of what your books are worth and do some research about what they are selling for. I've seen many people come in and get upset about not getting "enough" for their books. Remember the most money you are going to get is if you actually sell them on your own using Ebay or Craigslist or something.

If you are in Boise there is no reason NOT to visit Captain Comics. It's just a few miles away from the Airport and off of the interstate.
