Metropolis Comics

Unprofessional. Rude. The customer service representative who identifies as “Luna” will not go very far in life with her poor attitude and overall lack of knowledge especially in this industry. Beware of comic book sets that are taped together as the sets in this store are sold INCOMPLETE. My friend and I (who dabble in the industry) were blown away by how unprofessional and dirty the store was. The male who identified as Michael could most likely benefit from training his staff to A: know how to answer the phone professionally, B: train staff to speak coherently to clients and C: if staff has a personal opinion- never refer to items for sale in the store as “they are mine”. Very poor experience and over all, I stick behind the label given WITCH. Also, if a customer places items on the counter and advises they will not be purchasing, do not follow clients outside to yell at them. Buyer BEWARE.

Horrible place, don’t waste your time. It is a disorganized mess all through the store. You can barely make your way through with boxes of stuff all over the place, along with empty boxes. You would assume that because they have these boxes out on the sales floor and uncovered that it is stuff for sale and you can browse through it, but that isn’t the case and you will be rudely told not touch the boxes. It is also to be assumed that the merchandise that is displayed is all up for sale, but again that isn’t the case and when you inquire about the price you will be rudely told it’s not for sale. Why have stuff displayed that isn’t for sale and why keeps boxes of merchandise out on the sales floor if you don’t want it touched? Put it away! Clean up your store and make it presentable and inviting! Train your staff, because Staff is rude! All of the 1 star ratings should be a wake up call to do better as a business. I am all for supporting small businesses in the city, but not this place.

I recently had the displeasure of visiting Metropolis Comics, and I must say it was a profoundly disturbing experience. The establishment exhibited an alarming level of what it seems like racism, both in their treatment of employees and their unprofessional behavior towards customers. It is with great disappointment that I write this review to express my strong disapproval and vow never to return to this establishment. When I visited I heard them address their former employee as looking like Miles Morales and complain about her. This kind of behavior demonstrates a complete lack of respect for the dignity and individuality of their staff. Furthermore, I overheard employees engaging in derogatory discussions about former colleagues in the presence of customers. This unprofessional conduct creates an uncomfortable and toxic atmosphere within the store. Customers should be able to shop in a space free from such negativity, and it is completely unacceptable for employees to disparage former coworkers in front of patrons. This lack of discretion speaks volumes about the overall culture and values of Metropolis Comics. As someone who strongly believes in equality, respect, and inclusivity, I cannot in good conscience support a business that exhibits such overt racism and unprofessional behavior. It is disheartening to witness this level of discrimination in a supposedly diverse and progressive society. I firmly believe that no individual should be subjected to such treatment, be it employees or customers. I urge everyone to think twice before coming to Metropolis Comic. The racist behavior displayed towards former employees, referring to them as looking like “Miles Morales” based on skin color, and the inappropriate discussions about former colleagues are entirely unacceptable. I will certainly not be shopping her no longer again, and I encourage others not to either.
