Alien Worlds is a small to medium sized comic book store. They have a great selection of old school and vintage toys (original transformers, Justice League HQ from the 50's-60's, etc.). Alien has plenty of graphic novels, an average amount of single issues (as compared to other stores), and a large selection of back issue comics. Prices are average retail, like in most comic shops. I gave Alien Worlds a 3 partly because of the severe lack of anime, but mostly because of the rude service I experienced. I find it odd for a comic book store to not have anime merchandise or at least Japanese comics in this day and age. American comic book stores and even large mainstream stores (Barnes and Noble, Borders, Suncoast, etc.) have embraced anime and manga. I was very upset to have been treated poorly (for the first time ever in a comic book store) while purchasing comics. A comic book store is a haven for comic book/gaming/anime fans, it's always a very warm, comfortable environment.
