Image Collections has been my comic sanctuary for over two decades, tracing back to my childhood. Todd, the owner, is a comic guru whose passion is contagious. While the store's approach shifted due to COVID, the new entrance order system is a minor adjustment for a safe shopping experience.

Todd's knowledge and enthusiasm light up every visit. The pandemic-inspired changes haven't dimmed the store's inviting atmosphere.

The store offers a treasure trove of comics and graphic novels, accommodating diverse tastes. Its cozy ambiance, adorned with nostalgic memorabilia, feels like a step into the past. Image Collections perfectly balances tradition and modernity, maintaining its significance in the digital age.

For 20+ years, Image Collections has been more than a store – it's been a portal to endless comic wonders. Todd's expertise and the store's charm make every visit memorable. If you're a comic aficionado seeking a welcoming space, Image Collections won't disappoint.

Amazing store, one of a kind in Ontario. Todd is extremely knowledgeable, an expert on what he has to offer, and what reading material you might like. Been going to this store since I was a child, and was always caught in awe at the selection.

They also host the free comic book day, and a creativity course for artists.

Used to come here as a kid great memories and loved the store. Now no store, have to essentially “order” at the stairs and wait. Awful experience just purchase online

The best comic book store in the city. Todd the owner, is and amazing and kind hearted individual who really loves his store and that ambience makes the whole place a nice, friendly and welcoming environment.

Thanks to you, I've been reading bedtime stories - Sponge Bob Square Pants - to my child for years. Todd, thank you. Thanks to you, I discovered the joy of playing Magic the Gathering, for fun. Friday Night Magic - the best kind!

First time going after passing by it for years. Although I couldn’t go in because the owner seemed to be nervous about Covid (perfectly fine!), he helped us from the staircase and when he didn’t have what we were looking for he recommended us some cool comics that we decided to pick up. I had an amazing experience. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and helped us out a lot! He was a pleasure to talk to and very kind. Prices were great and you can tell he loves what he’s doing. Definitely one of the kinder and genuine owners I’ve encountered. Hopefully next time everything will be open and I can explore inside!

I've been coming to this shop for over ten years now, and I'll never forget my weekly visits and long, eclectic conversations with owner Todd. Todd Mara runs a wonderful business and has become a good friend to myself and I reckon many others. A Streetsville staple every local ought to visit at least once, you won't find a more welcoming comic shop.

Man behind the counter is very kind.average pricing but less than ideal selection so you have to let them know what you want to be picking up in the future

I love coming here. Todd is always very pleasant to talk too and as well very insightful about comics and life tbh. Not the biggest shop but has the hidden gems and always the newest issue, can’t say enough good things about Todd. I appreciate u…. Joe.

The store is a little rough, but they have a lot, and the owner is probably the nicest guy I've ever met in the bizz

Friendly owner who knows his stuff. Great collection with the authentic feel of a comic/hobby store. A true staple of Streetsville.

Todd is a living legend, such a down to earth nice person who is willing to talk to anyone walking threw the door. If your even interested in comics ever so slightly you must come here.

I have been coming to this local store for years. Todd the owner is very friendly and helpful. He looks a bit like Legalus from Lord of the Rings but he is cool as can be. This store is the longest running comic book store in Mississauga Since 1990! Great prices and selection of Comics.

Amazing experience at the store. I called and told them the kind of gift I was looking for for my dad, and the guy working brought up a box of items within the price range I mentioned. The worker seemed to know alot and had a genuine interest in the comics and helping me find what was best. I highly recommend if you need a gift or have a personal interest, I think you will always expect great customer service.

Although the place was a bit crowded he had a fine selection and was very informative about his comics. A pleasure to talk to and do business with.

My go-to LCS. TODD (owner) is a Streetsville mainstay. Wide range of books & toys & games for all ages! Go support him.

Great staff. Kind, generous and able to quench the thirst of any avid comic book reader. Check out this store, you'll find something great to read.

I visited this shop today for the first time today with both my kids. I love the old-school charm of the shop, the owner was fantastic, and we look forward to coming back again soon. A gem.

They allowed me to showcase my art on free comic book day, nobody else in the city of toronto gave me such a unique and wonderful opportunity!
27 June 2019 22:03
This place is great! Todd is extremely knowledgeable and will take good care of you. Check this place out - you won't be disappointed.
24 June 2019 2:48
Definitely cleaner than the last time i was there.actually got some help while i was there.getting better.but still some work to do
20 June 2019 7:32
Todd is great! Customer service is paramount here. My husband and I always learn so much from him when we come by and he always makes time to update us on the latest. Last summer the store appeared at a comic-themed film at the Drive-In movies on Ninth Line in Oakville. Local comic artists were featured and action hero's were there to take pictures with. I just love this store. Has been supporting Streetsville for well over 25 years. I hope we never lose it!

Had my first free comic book day at this location and picked up a stack of other comics. The place was busy but everyone was so lovely. The staff was sweet and accommodating. You can find just about any comic here no problem.

This is a treasure trove for those seeking a bit of everything comic book related. Cramped, stacked and cozy, this is a shop not to be missed. Owner is very knowledgeable and personable.
It is currently undergoing a major sorting of stock going back to 30 years. I come back monthly to see what has been discovered. Never disappointed.
29 May 2019 19:29
This store is great. The selection is large, but more than that, the owner (Todd?) is really the best. He's friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He has anecdotes about comics and comic book history that are very cool. One of my favourite spots.

Great comic store.i will give it a 5 star rating as i think it just needs a little cleanup. Very cluttered and messy inside. Boxes on top of boxes, cant look in the long boxes due to this. The best part of my visit here was the owner. I moved back to the westend after about 12 years in toronto. The owner is very approachable knowledgeable and helpful. He asks what you like to read then moves boxes out of your way based on your reading habits. I was there for maybe an hour looking through what i could all the while chatting about the hobby with the owner. I think i need a couple of days off to go through everything:)
28 February 2019 23:19
I'm a bit biased because I've shopped here for over 20 years. It may not be as organized as perhaps some other places, but you will never be able to beat the loyalty of the Customers who Shop here, and neither the service this Shop exemplifies to it's clientele. Old School perhaps, but in many ways, more relevant than ever.

Streetsville's hidden gem. Store is in the basement below IDA which gives you the treasure hunt feeling. Staff is friendly & helpful. Great pricing on older comics & cards.

The first time I went I came with my mom and the man there was really friendly to us and he helped me with my comics, but it was crowded and messy, I chose a couple from the $1.50 area and I felt like a made a good purchase, but when I came home I read them and was disappointed because at the end they were just telling you to buy a graphic novel, no big deal I thought, sucks but whatever, but then I came again and well this really got to me, I bought a really expensive marvel comic book off the wall that is sealed and everything, but when I came home this comic had a page that is off it and not stapled on to it, that really made me mad. I paid almost $10 for a comic, if I do that I expect you to sell me completely new comic book, that is also a good read, not one that is BROKEN. So I had to tape it on, It sucks because they knew it was not stapled because they packaged it and still sold it with out telling me. The only good thing about this place is the man he is a nice person, but I am not coming here again unless I get a refund, but I doubt i will, I really recommend you don't go.
