The Hero House

Stopped by with a coffee to check it out. Loved the comic books! Very eclectic collection of books– everything from Walking Dead, to Star Trek… even X-​Files! Owner was super sweet and even knew a lot about the other shops and bars in the area.

If you love comics or you just want to learn to love them, this is the place for you. Located in the quaint and historic Fountain Square, The Hero House has a huge selection of comics and collectibles, but has a small store feel with amazing customer service.

Awesome little comic shop in a really cool part of town. Lots of great comics, collectables, collection books, and t-​shirts. Staff is friendly. Prices are about average and you can even find a few deals. They have a lot of Firefly and Buffy the vampire slayer stuff. What more can you ask for than that? Haha

This place is small, but with big treasures!
Its in a prime location at Fountain Square, right in the middle of bars, restaurants and even the delicious coffee shop, Funkyard.
This comic book store is chocked full of awesome t shirts that range from $ 10.00 to $ 20.00, current cult classic books, graphic novels, every major comic book series along with plenty of local artists and some of my favorite books (Bongo, don’t judge you bunch of nerds, haha!). They also have lots of Pop! figures, collectibles and other knick-​knacks.
The guy working while we visited asked lots of questions and offered suggestions. He was pretty friendly and even offered to stay open late for us (I could not get my freakin’ boyfriend out of there!)
We ended up buying about $ 40.00 worth of merch after we searched every nook and cranny of this teensy shop.
Also, they have a great check in deal! You can get one free comic book from a huge selection with any purchase. Don’t forget to check in so you can take advantage of this awesome offer. :)
We would definitely shop here once a week if we lived in the area. I highly recommend this store to be your regular comic book shop!

Awesome, awesome comic book store. Great location for sure but their selection of products is super too. The staff is friendly and they sometimes have a pop-​up show during First Fridays — check it!

A store after a geeky girls heart. I always get excited to see what rarely seen Star Wars action figures I can find for my fanatic boys.
I personally drool over the t-​shirts and buttons. The array of comic books and graphic novels is enough to keep you busy for hours. And don’t forget to look up! You never know when there will be a communicator from Star Trek or a Pokémon stuffed animal hanging above your head or sitting on top of a shelf. And their prices are fabulous!
If you’ve got a question, they’ve got the answer. If not, they’ll do there best to find out.
I love having a comic book shop in the neighborhood. There’s something about it that kinda makes the Square even more unique. Like something would be missing if it wasn’t there. Visit them frequently is my solid advice.

Great little comic shop with current comics, vintage, graphic novels, geeky shirts, and lots of geeky toys — plus random used geek books (like Star Trek books for $ 3). If you get an ‘A’ on your report card, you gt a free comic from this stack — or buy one get one free. The current display of baby Groot is so amazing and I enjoy the chill environment in general.
Also, the Sunday worker is adorable and my favorite ;)

We stopped by here today while hanging out in Fountain Square. Great shop. It is hard to find a comic book store anymore so it was fin to go in and look around. My daughter was happy to find a Manga section and their little pins are cute and they make them there. The person working was very helpful and super nice. We will return.

Hero House has a really great selection of comics, clothes, and collectibles. I really do enjoy coming here to relax after work and pick up some fun things to read!

Loved this place. They have a pretty good selection of back issues of comic books and lots of other comic related items in the store. The guy in the store, I’m assuming it was the owner, was super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recomend this little treasure trove to stop in and check it out.

Great little comic book shop! It’s small and the selection is somewhat limited, but it’s a cool little space and the staff/​management are super nice and are genuinely interested in helping you find what you need.
I’ve always wanted to come check this place out, and just haven’t made time. When I planned to spend the day in Fountain Square for my birthday though, and I saw the awesome post they put on my Facebook wall wishing me a happy birthday (I’ll upload a screencap), I made sure they were the first stop on my list.
The owner/​manager (not sure which, but he seemed to be in charge, and that he was the one who did the birthday post) recommended some new comics I might like, and even though he didn’t have what I was looking for in stock, he ordered more on the spot and encouraged me to come back. He also answered some burning questions I had about individual issues vs. trades vs. compendiums and how they’re organized.
I walked out very satisfied, with a few issues of something new, and the latest volume of Saga. I wasn’t so in love that I’ll ditch my neighborhood shop (I live up in Castleton), but I’ll gladly give them my business the next time I’m in the area!
If you find yourself shopping around in the area, and you have even the tiniest inclination toward comic books/​graphic novels or even kitschy, nerdy toys/​apparel this place deserves a spot on your list!

Super cool store, small but with a good selection. Lots of random cool stuff in the display case around the counter. Some vintage and hard to find stuff too. 1^st season of Golion! Who knew!
A star trek themed band too! This place is too cool! I’ll be back through, I’m glad I stopped in.

It’s a great little space, I previously reviewed it and gave it a poorer review because it never opened on time. I haven’t been back at opening since then, but the times I have been back I have found the books I was looking for and am always greeted by a kind staff member. I’m very pleased with the improvement they’ve made over the past few years.

This is by far my favorite comic book shop in town. While small, they cater to their customer base and the owner is always friendly.

this place rocks on April 6^th they hosted Derek Hess who is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for his album covers, his art Rocks, great shop with Fab comics, shirts, stuff right out of Big Bang
