I was very surprised at both the depth and variety of comics, games and associated items. The layout is excellent and displays are well organized. They have a great stock of older comics and newer issues, games, figurines, children’s books and so many other things.Staff is friendly and helpful. A great experience for an older (ancient) collector from Florida. There was even a display of Grab Bag comics 3 to a pack at heavily discounted price.Check this place out! You will be glad you did.

Out of towner here. Uptown has an incredible selection of back issues, very well organized (it's amazing how many comic shops don't sort their back issues by issue number, but Uptown does), roomy, and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

We visited for a book signing event, but found the store was fantastic!! The enemy was well organized and the staff handled the extremely large turnout great, handing out numbers and doing texts to let people know when to return.The comic shop is great! Big selection and well organized. They had everything we were looking for, including harder to find pieces. We would definitely recommend this place for any comic enthusiast.

I just stopped into Hello Comics earlier and I had an absolute thrill. I'm a huge comic book nerd and the massive selection of books from all eras was so impressive! They had just about anything you could ask for somewhere in the store. In addition, all the other memorabilia for other media was phenomenal! Dave, the owner, was incredibly friendly and personable and was a joy to speak with. I wish I didn't live so far away, otherwise I would absolutely be a regular customer here. I cannot recommend Hello Comics enough!

Out of state customer here. I have to say, Hello Comics Uptown is awesome. They have one of the best services out there.At a time of despair, I tried finding a Manga Box set that is unfortunately sold out everywhere local to me and even online. While searching for it some more, I came across the Hello Comics site and saw that they had it in stock. I wasn't really sure if this was a reputable site though, so I searched for their Facebook Page and also called them to make sure the website was accurate in saying the Box Set was In-Stock. A nice lady answered, and was patient with me when I was deciding on buying the Box Set from them.To end this amazing experience, I go ahead and order it and it gets packed and shipped the very same day. It arrived at my doorstep with zero damages or issues whatsoever. They included extremely well packaging and padding.With this said, I would 100% recommend Hello Comics to anyone who collects Comics and Manga. Especially if you are Out-Of-State from where they are located, like me.

I LOVE THIS SHOP! I'm so glad I have family that lives just a little ways down the road so I can visit every now and then. I have seen hundreds of comic shops over the years and they really don't get any better than this! Very cool friendly staff, great prices, wonderful environment, cool events, OUTSTANDING variety, always tons of cool stuff. Perfect shop in every way. You guys are the best!

Hello comics is by far the one of the best comic book stores I’ve been to. The store was so clean and the owner was so sweet. There were so much variety with the comics and prices. There’s a bit of something for everyone. It’s a must when stopping by Charlottesville!

I have to keep myself from coming here because I WILL spend all my money here!The store is so cute, so well laid out, amazing inventory, and the staff is always so friendly and helpful. I’ve never had a bad experience here.

Comic book stores are usually pretty small, but this one isn’t. It’s the largest one that I’ve been to. That’s why it’s easy to get lost (metaphorically) in the many different sections.The sections are: Manga, Marvel, Kids, Clearance/ Used, LGBTQ and more. The Manga section was quite popular. It also had a couple of figurines along with the manga.I like that most of the comics and graphic novels don’t have a plastic cover so that you can flip through them to see if you like it. There are also figures in the front of the store and other merch.This is one of my favorite comic store due to sheer size and organization. One can easily spend a good while here checking out all of the comics and merchandise.

Kate and the gang are great and knowledgeable. A long way from the hole in the wall comic shops I used to have to visit when I was a kid.

If you're looking for Marvel, DC, and everything in-between, look no further. It's a bird, a plane, no - it's Telegraph! Comics, collectibles, T-shirts, magnets, posters, zines, and local content are all available at the shop. Super knowledgeable staff with a friendly and upbeat attitudes make for a great experience. They obviously love what they do and are extraordinarily helpful. The layout and atmosphere of the shop are easy to navigate and fun. I'm not a comic collector by any means, but I still LOVE when I have time to stop in for a visit. 10/10 tell ya friends.

Insulted me with an offer of $20.00 on a CGC graded 4.0 1955 Superman #101. Won’t go back to this establishment again with such an insulting low offer.

Wonderful place to explore comics, graphic novels, and mangas. The staff are present and approachable and friendly. We make sure to visit every time we drive down the mountain to shop in Cville.

This is an awesome, bookstore I have a subscription to multiple comic books. The staff is great and if there's a comment that you need to find they'll help you. I support this comic book store 110 percent I even have the logo on my car. This is a great local comic book store and to see the name change means that the comic book store is growing support this comic book store.

This is the best place! It is so cheery and bright, and there’s just such a great welcoming atmosphere. Everyone here is so nice! I didn’t catch the name of just the loveliest person who helped me (it was the morning of 12/28 if you’re reading this mgmt!😀) - but it resulted in me picking out the *perfect* gifts for my niece. Honestly, she was thrilled, and so was I, and wouldn’t have happened but for the help I received!

My son absolutely loved this store! He was so excited to be able to buy omnibuses without having to order them!! It was our first time here we will definitely be returning often!

This is such a great place for hardcore comic lovers and casual readers. The owners/staff are always really friendly and helpful. I went in for a recommendation for a 9 year old girl who liked Dogman, and they had 3 awesome recommendations in my hands in literally seconds. Beyond that, they are really organized and communicative for subscriptions. Their online platform and emails keep me up to date on all my favorites coming out and new things that I will likely enjoy (and they are often right!). It is always fun to look through the well-marked and fairly priced long boxes of back issues. We cannot say enough good things about this place. So please, do yourself a favor, go in and browse or pick something up curbside. They are the best!

Love the shop. Owners are super and they are great at making pertinent suggestions based on age or interests. They have so much more than comics too. Granted everything is comic related but it's an incredible selection and they have something for all ages. If you have a comic fan in your family you need to take them in, and if they have already been to the shop this is also a great place to get a gift or gift card. My grandson loves this store.

The staff is great, the selection is awesome, the vibe is wonderful. I have been coming to this location for decades under two previous owners and while I enjoyed my time among the nerd ephemera, nothing compares to how it is now. It's welcoming to all kinds and the staff know what they are talking about. The location is easy to get to (and will become even easier in a few months) and I just love the place. If you are just getting into comics, new to town, or you just haven't been here in a long time, come back and check it out. These guys are awesome! /end gushing

Nicest staff in the world! Their selection is better than some stores I've been to that are twice their size. Tremendous amount of parking that shares a lot with a shop that has magic cards/board games/minis and painting. Its a nerds one stop shop for all your hobbies!

Wanted to drop y’all a quick 5 star. The lady that works there, I do not know her name, knew my name by my second visit and has been extremely helpful (and patient) with me asking many questions and having many requests. I enjoy stopping by this location a few times a month for my comics and because of her hospitality. Give her a raise 😊
