Hypno Comics & Games

Great stuff. Great spot. Needs more parking. George is always on point.

Awesome place. I got here early and the owner still let me in to purchase a few comics. The selection is great and the staff is super friendly and always willing to answer questions and help out. If I ever get the chance to travel back to Ventura I’ll definitely visit again!

First off I just want to say that this is the best spot to get your nerd on.
My friends come here all the time. Some of those times, I tag along with them. They’ve spent a good amount of money here getting comic books and books.
I have always liked coming here because the staff is great and they make you feel at home when you’re there. George treats his customers like family. He knows everyone’s name and greets them when they walk in. You don’t get that at most places.
We dropped by this weekend so my friend can pick up stuff from her folder that she wanted to buy. We also got some Christmas presents for our friends.
This is the perfect place to get presents for kids and kids at heart.

I took my daughter and her friend here recently on a Friday night. This is a nice store — clean, brightly lit, well organized with a good selection of comic and gaming related merchandise. The individual working there was very friendly and helpful. The place was packed with gamers — Friday Night Magic the Gathering! — and other games. Outside in the parking lot was «world famous» Frank’s food truck — serving up gourmet grilled cheese and hot dogs to hungry gamers and other customers who seemed to be there just for the food — happily sitting on the ground in the parking lots scarfing down that amazing food. It was a surprisingly happening «scene» for all ages, all types — hipsters, punk rock types with piercings, tattoos, and mohawks, mom and dad, grandpa, young kids probably in junior high, older kids, grown up kids. The scene was slightly edgy but completely safe and appropriate for the under-​18 age group. We’ll definitely be back.

What a great place! Great staff and the always have the latest products and largest selection, even compared to some larger establishments in LA. Way to go!

Awsome, that’s all I need to say. I can spend hours here and the staff is great. Unilocal is telling me to write more so blah, blah, blah. Great place, lots of comics and collectibles. If you can’t find any comics then you probably went into the wrong store. Step out, look around and try again.

This is by far my favorite place for comics and toys! George and the team are the friendliest in the business. There are weekly deals and events that make this place hard to stay away from! Expect a handshake with every purchase.

I’ve always wanted go visit more comic shops and whatnot so I finally visited Hypnos! A lot of my friends recommended this shop and I can say that they didn’t steer me wrong!
the parking lot is limited so street parking is also available. its a little small but they truly work with their space the best way possible.
upon arriving, other than their large red sign, you’ll see a lot of figures, toys, the newest issues, and other collectibles. The employees and owner are incredibly friendly and work to their best ability to provide what you are looking for.
so if youre in town wanting to check out cool pop culture and interesting finds, definitely check this place out!

Went in today for the first time. Forgot to check in while I was there. But, hey no biggie… the store is awesome. Really loved the selection. The first gentlemen I ran into was really awesome. I think he was the owner not to sure. But he was able to answer my questions. Then Pat took over helping me. I have to say the staff is really nice and helpful. This is going to be my go to comic store from now on. Its clean inviting and organized. I would recommend to everyone.

I walked into Hypno Comics being new to the area. I was immediately impressed with the vastness of sellection of comics cards and figures and how the staff was so friendly and helpful. While talking with a member of the staff the owner walked in and introduced himself (George) and invited us to hang out for «comedy night» (which as it turns out happens once a month). It was an awesome night with free beer and pizza!
If you’re into comics and are looking for a store that’s owned by a person that’s as passionate about comics as you are, this is your place.

Hypo Comics is what comic stores should be. The staff is curtious, the prices and deals are decent, and the events are well planned and interactive.

Small store. Very clean, with an emphasis on new merchandise. Heavy on comics, with some video game and animé stuff. Some figures/​toys, though mostly books. Staff was friendly and helpful when I came in looking for a somewhat generic gift. They had several good suggestions.
Mostly being a hard-​core animé fan, I don’t see myself coming back much, since their focus is comics.

Great customer service and great selection… store just so small, so one star off.

I have only been in here a few times but I am very impressed. It’s always clean and well organized.
It can get a bit crowded as the shop part is a bit small but if you can make your way up to the Comic section, it opens up more.
They have a good selection of Comics, Figurines etc.
My Son bought his first set of MTG cards here (which he is now addicted to) and the staff were really helpful and friendly.

Great store. Great people.
Nice space. Cool events. Friendly and accommodating staff.
This is a good place to shop, play some games, or see a show.

It’s smaller than Seth’s but so much more enjoyable. The owner George actually takes the time to get to know everyone personally. He tries his best to not make this a store, but rather a community. He brings in comedians, graphic novel artists, etc. just so everyone can get together and have a fun night.
The store itself is very cleanly organized. New issues are on the wall on the right as you walk in. The front half walls are covered with collectibles. In the back half of the store are all the back issues and more importantly for me.. . the wall of games.
George has a large number of demo games available so you don’t have spend a lot only to learn that you don’t really care for the game. If there is a game that you want, but he doesn’t have in stock, he will order it for you!
He updates his events on the facebook page and he has discounts through both Unilocal and foursquare. If you are even in the least bit geeky or nerd-​y and you haven’t been to Hypno you are seriously missing out.

I meant to not buy any issues while there, but couldn’t help it. Now I am glad I did, when I returned to my home I started to sense something changing inside me, started to see things… differently. I can’t say for certain it was my visit to Hypno Comics, but things started to just go my way. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this local comic book shop, and when I do I feel powers well up inside me that I am still struggling to control. Since my visit, the world has become a more magical place, and I feel the possibilities within myself unwinding into its vastness, intertwined with its vitality. THANKS HYPNO COMICS!
Also its a clean, organized, friendly shop with friendly and knowledgable owner, and calendar of community events is a nice surprise.

This place is the reason why i even created a Unilocal account! I just had to give a great review because its the best customer service i’ve ever experienced!
Everything about this place is great! The service, the atmosphere and the content are spot on! I am new to the comic book world and after my visit here, i felt like i fit right in.
The owner, George, is very welcoming and knowledgable along with his employee (forgot his name, sorry!) who was eager to answer any questions.
They have plenty of comics neatly organized and they are even expanding an area to fit even more! Their prices are very reasonable as well.
I came here because of Unilocal reviews, and let me assure you that you wont be disapointed here. I would recommend this place to anyone, young and old, new to the comic book world or not. :)

My husband & I went to this shop in search of dice. We enjoyed our time there so much that we ended up buying quite a bit more. We met George, the owner, and Pat, who were both amazingly friendly people. The prices listed on their stock were reasonable and sometimes just plain good deals. On top of that they give discounts on board games on certain days, (Wednesdays if I remember correctly, but give ‘em a call and ask!) George has a number of board games open that you can go there to play, including Mice & Mystics. Their inventory included Agricola, Catan, Mage Wars, Mage Knight, Magic: The Gathering, Arkham Horror, Castles of Burgundy and many more… Overall, a very generous selection, and George is such a nice guy I know he would help someone find something if he did not have it.
We came in when at least a dozen or more people were sitting down for a tournament in a spacious gaming area and the crowd was very friendly and everyone had smiles on their faces.
Are you shopping for games at a big box retailer? Then you don’t know what you’re missing. Support friendly, personal companies like this one and keep the gaming culture thriving locally where you can make new friends and always have someone to play with.
Overall, the experience was stellar and the best I have had in a comic/​game shop.

If you’re like me you probably won’t read my full long winded and detailed review. Therefore, let me just say in the first few sentences that Hypno is a great spot for comics, toys, collectibles, games, and events. You’ll want to stay all day and keep coming back. In addition, to the great products to browse, there is tons to do while visiting. Go try out one of the dozens of free to play board games in the back, mingle with the friendly regulars, and talk to the knowledgeable and friendly owner about all things awesome and nerdy.
George recently added me as a friend on Unilocal,so I figured that it’s time for a long overdue review of the best comic shop in town, neigh the state, neigh the world! Well, to be fair I have only been to about 4 comic shops in my life, but if it’s good people, awesome prices, consent deals, and the coolest shop owner to ever own a shop of any kind, then my friends; Hypno is the place for you. George the owner is a beast of a business man. He knows what his customers want, and he heads up one of the best viral marketing campaigns I have ever seen. Follow Hypno on facebook, you will be blown away by the constant updates on inventory, sales, and events. In addition, George is very easy and fun to talk to, the fact that everyone who reviews this place knows the owner’s name should be a good indication of what kind of owner your are dealing with.
The shop is very clean, open, and bright which is a nice surprise for a comic shop. The game room in the back is very spacious and allows for plenty of room for people to enjoy the events that are a constant at Hypno. From Magic, to Heroclix (I hear the judge is super good looking and an all around awesome guy), to Malifaux, to Vanguard, to fee to play board game night. Need a place to host your favorite game? Talk to George he will make it be. In addition to gaming events, Hypno hosts some of the best writers, artists, and all around bad asses in the industry for signings, interviews, and more. Comics on comics is also a very cool addition at the shop, George invites some of the funniest «geeky» comedians around, for some live stand up.
I could seriously go on for days, but George is only paying me 20 bucks for a good review so… Just in case it needs to be said, George isn’t really paying me 20 bucks for a review… it’s only 10 haha j/​k.
I’ll see you all at Hypno!
