Only thing I would trust this guy comic-wise is to be comically sketchy after you've given him your money. Aug 2024 - Bought a ticket to a live signing event Sept 2024 - Went to the event only to find out the artist never arrived! I tried to call to confirm the event was happening since it is an almost 2 hours drive for me but this guy does not believe in phone numbers. I realize why as I dealt with him more. He did not bother to alert any of his customers, no email, no announcement, nothing. Even then, I was chill, told him stuff happens I get it. Asked for a refund but he assured me the event will be rescheduled which isn't ideal for me since that means another 4 hour round trip. Nov - Dec 2024 - Multiple emails asking for an update are completely ignored. You have to message him on ebay for a chance at a reply. Jan 2025 - Chris replies and says artist will sign books and they will be shipped out. This is already not what I paid for as I wanted other books signed. But I wanted to cut him some slack for whatever reason. Feb 2025 - After weeks of trying to contact him, Chris tells me the book has been shipped out but does not provide tracking which is impossible for comic deliveries. I am starting to think this guy is just scamming me at this point. Feb - May 2025 - To no one's surprise, my book was never delivered May 2025- Repeatedly messaged Chris to ask for a refund. May 2025 - Tells me refund is done and sends me a photoshopped screen shot of a transaction. Every refund I have ever had in my life comes with an official email, not a screen shot... I tell him I do not see the refund in my account and he tells me paypal often takes weeks for the money to go back (completely untrue) June 2025 - Naturally no money ever appears back in my account. Chris continues the charade by telling me to contact paypal. June 2025- Paypal tells me that the refund transaction code he screen shotted me does not exist. June - July 2025 - Chris continues to ignore my emails. The cost was only $60 but this whole ordeal has amazed me in his inapt customer service and frankly criminal business practices. At a certain point of being lied to, I just wanted my money back out of principal. This guy represents the absolute lowest of scum in the comic community. Constantly pumping out variant pre-orders and events with reckless abandon and zero care if they are fulfilled. He literally lies to your face so he doesn't have to refund you. Congratulations Chris, you stole my $60, hope you are happy with yourself.
Revised review. Initially gave two stars as there were some delay and other problems on more than one occasion but They do come through and are generally okay it seems. Not the fastest moving in terms of shipping and communication but I guess this is just the way the industry works.
Easily my go-to place for my newest comics, pre-orders, and variants. Staff are great, friendly, knowledgeable, and super accommodating (especially with my late pre-orders). I’ve been recommending this place for a long time now - especially for friends looking for someone reliable. I buy online right now, and I have to say, the staff do the best shipping/packaging I have ever seen (especially with larger boxes of comics). Comics always come in quick, and never an issue. Appreciate the time and care you put into this!
Thank you Comic Inspiration for consistently fast shipping, communication and paying attention to detail with packaging fragile items. Great selection!
My first stop for online shopping when it comes to hot titles and variant cover art. If you're shopping for yourself, or buying a gift for the comic collectors in your bubble, these guys should be at the top of your list. Quick, safe shipping and excellent communication! Give em' a browse!
I always love going down and getting the newest comics! Comic Inspiration always has what I'm looking for, super friendly and has gotten me into quite a few new comics!
I won a giveaway from Comic Inspiration on Instagram and they communicated wonderfully throughout the entire thing. I just received my prize -- eight DC Future State variants featuring Wonder Woman 1984 -- and I couldn't be happier. Each comic is mint and comes with a high-quality bag and board. They also arrived in amazing packaging! A sturdy box and lots of bubble wrap. Clearly the Comic Inspiration folks are collectors themselves and I think that's exactly what you need to look for when purchasing comics from somewhere. I'll definitely buy from them in the future!
