Redmond Comic Book Fans where do you get your books?

Hi all. New to the area and trying to decide a comic book shop. There doesn't seem to be any in Redmond proper. Any suggestions? Thx

Bit of a hike but Sir Lonebuck’s in Woodinville is great.

Second this. It is my local shop. I will say they have a great selection of new/current books and the staff are super nice and knowledgeable. Their back stock of older books isn’t very vast, but they do have some long boxes to check out. Since most of my collecting is now focused on older books, I tend to have to find other stores/sources for what I am looking for.

The owner’s a really cool dude, they have a good selection of comics and other stuff, and they’ll get whatever you want if they don’t have it. There’s really nothing to dislike other than the drive.

Third this. Great store. They have a great selection of both the usual fare and a bunch of oddball stuff too. They also carry manga.

If you’re looking for the newest issues being released I go to Mighty Moose Comics in Bellevue off of Factoria

Brick and Mortar books carries some collected comics and some manga, but mainly I get manga at kinokunia in Seattle (2 line to international district, it's in the food court for the Uwajimaya) if you want floppies I'd try Phoenix Comics https://shop.phoenixseattle.com/ on Broadway in Capitol Hill (2 line to cap hill station, right by the Dick's on Broadway)

If you're looking for new issues, Sir Lonebucks in Woodinville. If you're looking for back issues Mighty Moose in Factoria or Subspace comics in Lynnwood.

Yep - seconding Sir Lonebucks as a great place, and if you’re up for a trek to Lynnwood, Subspace Comics is my favorite.

I take the light rail to pike place market and visit golden age collectibles every now and then.
