"Nice people, helpful, alot of options for comics and Manga books. Find new stuff."
"So glad I stopped in this shop. I was able to get all my NCBD pulls for the week here and found some sweet back issues. Kip (the owner) was so kind. He had pulled some stuff for me before I got there (Sorry I was so late)."
"The store along with the owner was nice and had a variety. They are also doing a sale of 20% off all item that isn't in the front at the time of posting. I recommend everyone should stop by and take look."
"Different variety than everyone else and new location is very well organized and well stocked"
"I walk in and i am immediately greeted by Kip. The guy is awesome. Super knowledgeable, polite, and helpful with finding what I was looking for. Held a conversation with him my whole time being in the shop. If you're in the area and love comics, figures/plushes, Manga, and everything in between, please come and support! Thank you, Kip! -Johnny from LA"
"It is a great little comic store with a nice variety of geek and nerd products with quite a few deep cuts in between, with the owner who is friendly and helpful, which is always a plus"
"Five star comic book store!!! Always a pleasure to visit when I go past Fargo. Great selection , owner is helpful and knowledgeable."
"Can't beat this place in town for Comics and other nerd related goods. Kip is always friendly, and the shop has tons to look at.
Very glad the south plaza situation led to them getting this location as it feels much better for them (and south plaza properties was a horrendus company)."
"Great place for all comic, manga, and anime fans alike! The owner is awesome and always very helpful!"
"I was just here and visited with Kip, the business owner, for a bit about all sorts of books and anime culture too. He was super informative, helpful, and friendly! I bought a few books, including old Mickey Mouse comics, a Star Wars cookbook for kids, and a sticker book of older style Marvel characters.
I very much recommend this place for anyone into anime, manga, American comics, Disney books, My Little Pony, and so much more. Kip was so knowledgeable about everything and very willing to chat. I'm sure he could answer most questions in regards to nerd culture."
"Great inventory and the new location looks amazing. Definitely coming back!"
"This place has all your comic needs and more. A must see to look around and check all the cool figures and comics, you will even find things you never would of thought were in comics, they know their stuff and great to talk to!"

"A few years back I was looking for the freak brothers comics. As called the adventures of fat Freddy's cat and the freak brothers. I wish I got that older dudes name. He was very helpful and also recommended an r. Crumb comic. That day my daughter left her bleach wallet. I called up and asked. He has it right there. She was buying comics and forgot her wallet. I'm happy she introduced me to this comic book store. Brought back a lot of memories of my late father bringing me to shinders in downtown mpls. I'm definitely going back here one of these days!!! That guy with the beard had knowledge and shared facts about that comic. Which hardly nobody knew about!! Kudos to you sir I'll be back!!!"
"Best comic shop I have ever seen! Great selection of merchandise for all collectors and fans! Kip knows his stuff, his knowledge of comics, collectibles, and pop culture is simply astounding!! I and my family love to shop Comic Junction!!"
"The selection is massive, stretching across multiple rooms from floor to ceiling. Product is well maintained; plenty of bags and boards but also well organized. I found comics I'd sworn were cancelled, and things that simply weren't available in any store I've seen for a decade.
Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and has decades of experience.
Also, green tea candies are awesome."
"Very kind and helpful. Super knowledgeable. Took the time to help and amateur figure out if his old comics had any value. Would highly recommend"
"Best place in the region to get comics and manga and anything pop culture related. They have anime manga comic books and fantasy related reading material to toys figures and board games to imported snacks from Asia. If you are looking for a physical copy or version of it, Comic Junction has it.
The comic selection is superb as they get new releases every Wednesday and have copies and back copies that go back to the 70s and 80s for both Marvel and DC and independent publishers. The toy and figure selection has DC, Marvel, fantasy, and movie characters, and of there's one you want they can order it for you."
"Absolutely love this store!! I have been bringing my kids here throughout their younger years. They are driving now and they still go and call to tell me what they found. Super great staff too!!"
"I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Kipp. He is very immersed in the artworks and genres. I honestly just enjoyed talking to him but I also left with a beautiful unique book for my collection. Massive selection and he tries for complete sets, which is no easy task."
"Fantastic place! Easily one of the best comic book / manga stores I've been to. They have a HUGE selection to choose from, and the owner is super helpful if you're looking for recommendations / something specific."
"Stopped in while visiting Fargo, definitely making a point to come back for this store specifically! Lots of hard to find books and collectibles!"
"Awesome store to go to for both new and used comics and manga. There's also a great selection of games and collectibles there as well. Definitely worth checking out for comic/manga readers and tabletop/board gamers"
"very cool store amazing manga and comic selection. man there was also very nice. highly recommend"
"Great places loads of comics, action figures, drinks and chips that are great and you can't find anywhere else"
"Traveling to the foreign land of North Dakota felt daunting, but to find such a gem out here was truly incredible!
I'm quite jealous that locals have the ability to come by so often. Their selection was amazing and prices were all reasonable.
The owner immediately was ready to give me a tour just to make sure I didn't miss anything I was looking for.
I learned they've got 40 years under their belts, and BOY does it show.
The glowing example of what a comics store should be!"
"This place probably has over 3,000 comic books, ranging from as old as time to made the other day. Quite a lot of manga too, although like most stores with manga, there are few complete series but that's not really an issue. There's also a small but well stocked section dedicated to Japanese snacks such as Pocky and those panda cookies with chocolate inside of them you know what I'm talking about. In addition to all of this, there are quite a few desktop figurines to chose from, all very high quality. Overall, this is your one-stop-shop for comic books and manga."
"Love this place! Kip is really great and fun to talk to. If you have any questions about comics or manga this is the place! He will also order things for you. It has a wide variety of snacks imported from Japan as well as figurines and plushies."
"Tons of items comic, Manga, and anime related. Figurines, games, t-shirts, expansion add on items for different games. Many types of Asian candies and snacks. Both gentlemen that I've met running it are super sweet and helpful for finding anything you might need. 10/10 recommend going"
"Such a fun place, a hidden gem here in Fargo. Our daughter goes there all the time. Comics to manga, they even have fun snacks. Go check it out."
"Thanks for showing us around! Best selection I've seen in a single shop, super cool shop owner, great variety of imported snacks 10/10"
"Great selection of manga,and nice snack selection. The owner is cool and very knowledgeable."
"Absolutely loved it great customer service and very reasonable prices on the comic's if your looking for it it's probably here"
"Kip runs this comic store on his own. Great hidden gem and he has everything you can possibly want. I had a great chat with him and he tells me that this is his joy. He is very passionate and knowledgeable. A lot of stuff to look at. Everytime I come in I always feel like I’m looking at new things."
"Let your inner nerd come out by visiting Comic Junction- cuz boy did mine!
Comics upon comics upon comics. This is what you see once you find and walk into the store. You have to go inside and up a set of stairs, then down the hall to Comic Junction’s suite. It’s very low grade and nothing at all fabulous so it’s easy to feel like you’re in the wrong place.
But what Comic Junction lacks in visual appeal it makes up for in the many different comics and knick knacks it sells, and the super sweet owner. He is totally a big comic nerd and it was awesome. I had so much fun looking through everything and chatting with him about some different issues and hero’s and such.
He really lights up when you start talking comics- you can just see how much he loves everything comics and his passion and enthusiasm for what he does. He’s in the right business, that’s for sure. And definitely check out the extremely special edition comics he keeps behind the register- sooo uber cool. Like I said, my inner nerd really showed out here.
One last thing he mentioned is that Comic Junction does no kind of advertising— the customer base is all by word-of-mouth, so consider me spreading the word to go support him!! For the love of comics!"
"It is a amazing shop has so much to look at and the owner is very nice and helps out with any questions"
"Absolutely loved this shop! Tons and tons of variety between comics, manga, merch and figures. Great customer service too."
"Legitimately a real Comic shop not a gaming shop with some comics, cool collectables, manga, actual comics and Graphic novels. The staff was super helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. They offered special orders for anything they didn't have. The establishment is well lit and not crowded. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a real Comic store that deals in classic and newer books. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town. "
"This place although small, will most definitely satisfy. Snacks, comics,manga and deals its a great treat to end the week."
"Very clean and friendly atmosphere. I was really impressed and will go back again. Huge selection of everything."
"Great selection and friendly staff! Best place to get manga in town! They also have a fun japanese snack selection"
"Love the place. Owner is personable, knowledgeable and professional. Great variety of comics, manga and other items. Something for everyone. Highly recommended."
"The store was kind of cramped with merchandise but was empty of customers so it wasn't really a big deal. The owner was willing to make me a deal because of the amount of items I bought and the series I was after is not sought after much. Lots of shelves and boxes to look through."
"This is what a comic book shop should be. Lots of cool things to look at and tons of books. Owner is a super nice guy."
"Great place. Friendly owner and employee. Started going there when covid hit to get back into comics. Cool old school feel. Reminiscent of the 90s shops I grew up around. Informative and resourceful. Definitely recommend to friends. Also he keeps the shop as clean as possible from what I've observed."
"Best comic shop in the city. Friendly staff, and an impressive collection of comics, games, and manga. Will be returning!"
"Been going to Comic Junction in all its incarnations since the mid 80s! Still go there at age 53! It is always great!"
"Manga collection is HUGE! staff were very nice and knowledgeable! Absolutely will be coming back!"
"been going here with my girlfriend for over 3 years now - owner is very personable, and pulls comics for those who signup for it, always asking if they want only one cover art or both, which some stores don't do. Also doesn't charge for sleeves or boards when buying comics.
Overall depth of comics is impressive with gems even big collectors will enjoy."
"Best comic store in fargo. Nice back issue stock of many publisher, few wall books, biggest manga selection I've ever seen. Also stocks board games, Figures, statues and various other collectables."
"Awesome comic and manga collection. Owners are easy to talk to and very helpful."
"This is an amazing comic/manga book store. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff and lots of material available. Great atmosphere. Really love this place and would highly recommend!"
"The staff was well attuned to the wants and needs of each individual and group, which is perfect for a store with such a diverse patronage. Introverts were left to browse after a polite offer to assist where needed. People that were new to the store were assisted to the nth degree. Adults and children were treated with respect. Everyone I wintessed walk in the door was treated like a VIP.

This is a comic store that looks and feels like it's been stuck in a time loop since 1997 in the BEST WAY possible. I visited once half a decade ago on a trip, then again this week. It's like they had the perfect Comic Book Store vehicle in place then and fine-tuned the vehicle ever since.
.
One piece at a time!"
"Best stop for comics in F-M area. Kip is a awesome guy with tons of knowledge!! From the major publishers to the cool or unknown indy comics, if they don't got it, they probably can find it!!"
"Great small store, great service. If you like comic books in general, this is the place to go."
"The Comic Junction is a great place with a huge selection of all types of comic books, graphic novels, paperbacks, etc , and the owner Kip is a great guy who knows his customers. You're welcomed like family whenever you go there."
"Great selection with many back issues. When I'm in Fargo, I almost always stop at Comic Junction."
"The owner is always super nice and helpful. If he is ever missing something I am looking for, he can usually order it in. Highly reccomend checking it out!"
"The tour was amazing! So much history & lifetimes in there. There's something for everyone. Can't wait to return again & again!"
"This store is exactly like every comic store I visited in the mid 90s. This sounds like a back-handed compliment, but I mean it as high praise. The facilities are a bit threadbare, but the stock is correctly priced (not marked up), and the staff is very friendly to newbies and old-salts. My young daughters have been very welcomed by the staff, and feel like a part of a larger community when they go there."
"Staff is always friendly! It's one of my go-to stops whenever I visit Fargo. If you want comics and manga this is the place to go!"
"Ever since i moved here over 20 years ago, Comic Junction has always had a great selection of old and new comics, figures, videos, and gaming supplies, and theres ALWAYS something new to explore. Friendliest staff in the world, this place is a treasure!"
"Great place, they sure know everything about comics and anything else you want to know."
"This is the only comic book store in the area where I have found the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, for that it deserves five stars."
"One of the best shops I've found in my travels. Great selection of new comics from practically every publisher putting out comics today, along with a vast and expansive selection of back issues, expertly organized by title. There is also an impressive amount of trades, as well as collectibles and other miscellaneous comic book related items. Highly recommend. I will definitely be back to this store again in the future!"
"A true comic book fan's store. They stick with what matters: COMICS! Best selection of back issues in town, and they will order in anything you need."
"Great management and service by the owner, always very friendly and helpful! Lots of variety to peruse!"
"Stopped by out of curiosity and was nicely surprised. It's somewhat disorganized and the building smells a little weird, but they have a good selection of stuff."
"We have been there a few times for free comic book days with my kids, it is a fun hole in the wall shop. The staff seem very helpful."
"If you're looking for comics and collectibles, look no further. The selection is fantastic. If you're searching for back issue comics to fill in gaps or start up on a prior series, they have a huge selection with fair prices."
"Good customer service and they include backers and sleeves with you purchase!"
"Probably my favorite shop in Fargo. They moved a bunch of stuff around and opened up some more space. Lots of back issues and a friendly owner who is willing to order anything you want."
"A great to find back issue of comics and to get paperback of comics. They also have a section of manga."
"They have a large selection of comics for kids and will order anything they don't have that is still in print for no extra charge."
"They have a great selection of older comics. If I cant find it at paradox this place normally has it. Plus ive never had a hard time touching the books not sure what other person commenting is talking about. Gone there a hundred times never been told not to touch books."
"I don't think this place gets as much love as it should. A really nice selection of books, (A larger manga/anime section than Paradox, if you're into that). The guy there is pretty nice and will work with you if you give him legit business! Definitely worth your time!"
"Really great selection of manga, and friendly staff! Will definitely be going back whenever I'm in Fargo!"
"Great place for used Sci-Fi books. The graphic novels are really great and there is a nice selection of stuff for my 4 year old daughter especially the Hello Kitty comics."
"Comic Junction... what a fantastic little niche store to have found. I've lived in Fargo for almost 20 years and was unaware of them initially. While they don't do this anymore, they used to rent Anime which was great as selections at "normal" video stores were horrible or non-existent.
Over the years things have changed, mostly in that they now only sell Anime vs. renting, but the Kip (the owner) does a wonderful job of keeping things in stock. He's also very accommodating when it comes to special orders or trying to order in back issues of comics or graphic novels.
Currently, the stock that I remember is DC, Marvel, Dark Horse and Image comics. Several Graphic Novels (Manga) are on hand with new volumes coming in and back issues being ordered. Various collectible figures, toys or other display pieces (as an example, Gargoyle themed sconces come to mind). Many used books are in stock, older titles; sadly there isn't much variety in these mostly because not many people realize these are available.
Older comics are available as well; there's a great selection of back issues, some collectible. There are some old VHS tapes available too, as well as some clothing (shirts and hoodies mostly, some hats have been in as well).
They are also looking to get into a few different collectible games. One themed on Star Wars miniatures if I recall correctly, and an anime based card game - one that crosses series rather than being for one specific series.
All in all, I would say Comic Junction is a great store, one that more people should visit. They provide an alternative location to pick up mainstream comics as well as providing several other times that (last I knew of) other stores in town do not provide."
