Alternate Icons

Tried shopping here the other day. Right when I stepped in the guy working there made me feel as though I was an inconvenience to him in his store. Also the place reeks of mould and body odour. I’ll never go here again and others should stay away also.

Great shop, owner was very knowledgeable and great to talk comics. They really known their history.

It’s a good store. Stock is solid, and the guy and the guy at the counter will answers your questions. The place isn’t perfect, but it’s good!

I love coming to this store. Dan the owner is always willing to help and likes talking about comics. Great store in downtown Brantford.

Nice comics and a neat little shop. Was t the friendliest of customer service and prices were a little on the higher side. Could be better could be worse.

Not sure what to make of this place.
The staff made it seem like he didn't want me there.

I feel like this place is for white incels only.
I felt very uncomfortable there, I wanted to buy my brother a birthday gift.
Definitely won't be back.

Inventory is subpar nothing interesting.
Musty smell also.

I wasnt aware there was a comic book shop In Brantford until I by chance came to this place. Since then it has become a favourite place of mine to visit just to browse their unique selection of comics and pretty rare toys and accessories of that nature. I give it this rating because any comic I have ever been looking for old or new has been there and the man who works there and I'm guessing owns the place is very knowledgeable. Cannot recommend enough.

Hands down the best comic store in town. Also a great place to get gaming accessories or magic cards. The only one stop comic/gaming store in town

Large collection of well priced comics. Store is well laid out so finding what you want is easy.

The best comic shop for years. I've lived in Mississauga, Cambridge, Brantford, etc.and I always get my pull list of weekly books from Dan at Alternate Icons. It's worth the drive if you're from out of town. I've been going to Alternate Icons for over 10 years and Dan has never missed a comic, toy, etc.for my pull list. He's an encyclopedia of knowledge too. Great guy with a great shop. Definitely my favourite Comic Shop. Highly recommended.

Big selection, and the store was tidy, and well laid out.
Plus they had 75%off manga when we there. Woohoo!

Great assortment of modern era comics along with plenty of toys & collectibles. Dan (the owner) is very friendly and knowledgeable about most products and if he doesn't have what you are looking for in stock will try and work with you to see if he can find it. I've been going there for 20 years now; glad to help support a local independent book store.

Loved it. Cant wait till the renos are done. Great selection. Great owner. Love the new location.

Comic shop as a part of a small restaurant. Dan is helpful and knowledgeable. Only place for comics in Brantford.

Loved this place! Great selection of comics, great prices, and the café/pub attached is genius.
