Cool Cats Comics and Cards

Gem of a store! As others have said, the twins are great; they were really helpful and r ally nice. The section was great, but the variety was what really stuck out to me. It’s nice to see more than just Marvel and DC comics. I myself caught up on the current Archie series as they had an awesome selection of that. The store, while a little small, is really charming with beautiful art all around the store and a great cartoony mural on the wall. To top it all off, they even gave me 10% off my purchase! Great comic store, I highly recommend it if you’re in the Westwood area.

great guys, great selection, super friendly

Minimal selection of comics and staff is quite reluctant to get up and help or answer any questions. I was quite disappointed with their meager selection of comics considering the extent of positive reviews. Not the greatest vibe to browse and ask questions. Felt like I was annoying them just by being in the store.

Well, I might like to shop here, but it’s impossible to say. They don’t answer their phone (or have an answering machine, apparently) and so I can’t ask about their stock.
I’m fine with dropping by a place to do some browsing, but when I want something specific, I’m not going to drive all the way across LA unless I know what I want is there — especially when, I dunno, they’re not answering their phone, are they even open?
Sorry guys, but I’ve worked in a comics/​games shop, there’s basically no way you’re too busy to answer the phone at 2:30 on a Monday.

We were really excited when this store opened, because a neighborhood comic book store is a pretty cool thing to little kids. We have never had a bad experience here in many, many visits. My kids got their first comic books here, and now we have shelves of comic books at home. They are addicted. The owners are ridiculously helpful and friendly. They always know what comic books the kids will like. They have events where the comic book artists do pictures for the kids. They are always willing to talk to my 7-​year-​old about why Hulk this, or Green Lantern that. This is a neighborhood gem, and I hope they are around for many years.

I came in here looking to buy a comic book for a friend’s birthday. The gentlemen who worked here were seriously so nice and helpful. They didn’t end up having the issue that I was looking for but one of them ended up calling up other local stores and found someone who did have it in stock! They were seriously so nice and you can tell that they really have a love for what they do. I saw some titles that I’ve been wanting to read, so I’ll definitely come back here in the future and tell friends. It was a great experience.

So I was around town with my cousin, and we wanted to check this place out. We went inside and we were at awed by the amazing artwork on the walls. We were looking for some comic books, and we tried finding it. We found most of them ourselves. But we couldn’t find a couple so we tried asking this one dude, who we assumed was the worker. He was sitting down looking at his laptop, and he just pointed to where the comic books were. Not actually standing up and leading us to it. Now I understand it’s not a big place, and he might have some other important issue to do, or maybe he’s even on his break. But when I paid for my comics, he just shoved the comics into the plastic bag, and we had to ask for the boards and plastic. I told him we could do it ourselves. Since I’m guessing he just wants to go back to his laptop, and it wasn’t a big deal boarding it ourselves. But he didn’t even give us enough boards or plastic, and sadly we noticed afterwards when we have left. Which I guess isn’t that much of a big deal, I guess.
So overall I give this a 3.5÷5 and I just rounded it to a 4 stars. Not the best comic book place I know in terms of service, but I guess I can’t really say it’s the worse. Oh well. Nice place though.

Great variety of comic books. I love how they have comic artist stands so if you want a drawing or painting of a character. They can do it right there and then for you. The downside to it is, it’s a bit pricey. Cool Cat Comics & Cards doesn’t live up to its name though. I figured they’d have some cards since it’s in the name, I went in there mkstly looking for cards and hardly found any. all they had was about two small boxes full in the corner of the store. What they had was only one type of card game. So that was disppointing. The guys there weren’t really talkative to customers either. All in all, it’s pricey, no cards, and lack of a good atmosphere and that is why I rate it 3 stars.

These people really need to check them selves. I literally walked 45 minutes to get here only to find this posted on their door. I waited about 40 minutes before someone opened the door. But by that time I didn’t want to go in because I was really upset. Who knows how long that sign was posted even before I got there. I tried looking through the glass to get the employees attention but the employee sitting at the counter didn’t look up and I don’t know if he or she was doing it on purpose. Honestly pretty furious. I might not have come to purchase a ton of merchandise but did go with the intent to buy a graphic novel.

I really really like this place. Bummed they don’t have one of the comic books I read, but they make up for it by having a lot of past issues on their shelf. The twins are very nice and I don’t get hustled by being a girl in a comic book store, like other places I have encountered.

This was the first comic book shop I checked out in Cali. Not a fan of how you have to pay to park in this area.
The shop is small, but the artwork on the walls was amazing!
The owner was not incredibly warm and I was the only one in there, but he did ask if I needed anything.
The shop seemed to have a nice selection of comics and a couple of interesting toys and busts.
Its a nice shop to check out, but wasn’t for me.

Stopped by the other day to pick up the new Orphan Black comic, and the owners of this place were amazingly helpful, friendly and very very passionate about their craft and their stock. It’s makes you excited for the content and it makes you want to come back for more. Think I found my regular place for a pull list. :)

I’ve only been here a couple of times, but the guys who work here (I’m guessing they’re «the Twins,» from looking at other reviews) are SO EFFING NICE AND HELPFUL!!! I seriously wish this place was closer to home, because I want to spend so much money here (especially since our local comic store that-​shall-​not-​be-​named has a bunch of nerdier-​than-​thou jerkoffs working there).
And they’re actually artists! The last time I went in, they were hanging out and drawing! That is so cool!!!
Man, yeah. Coming from someone who loves making art, reading comics, and pretty much all related things, I am truly sad that I can’t shop here, like, ALL the time.

If you read regularly, there is no excuse for you not to shop for your books at CCCC.
Von is the fucking man. Yes, I said fucking, because he quite is and there is no other word that would replace it when describing him. The man has talent, is as nice as they come, and can chat with you about almost anything — ANYTHING.
Take time out to look at the art in progress as well as their vast array of figures & toys. Aside from that, they offer a premium service to regulars as «subscribers» in that if you become one they will hold books for you that you want to buy, pull them for you, & even offer you free bags & boards to boot. They sometimes give a discount as well and save variant covers for their subscribers rather than let them be fed to the first come masses in the mornings.
The twins are a riot, they are super nice & very quirky which is so charming because you can feel how much they enjoy the past time of reading & collecting comic books. For me, that is #1 because I want to feel comfortable when I walk into a comic shop, not as if I’m not cool enough because I don’t either work there or am not best friends with the ones who do.
But now, I am at CCCC. I feel like family there. Always greeted with a smile, a shake & my books. Even when they get an order misplaced or mis-​delivered, they keep record of what I pay for or want and have it waiting for me when it is ready.
They might not be the biggest shop in LA, but they certainly are the most quality.

My boyfriend saw the Nancy figurine from Sin City in the window and we had to go in. He has been wanting this figurine for awhile. I had to buy it for him. When we got home, he was like a little kid with a new toy.
This is a really nice small comic book shop. The twins are awesome. My boyfriend and them were chatting away about comic books and Magic the gathering.
It looks like they have a good collection of comic books, Warhammer, Funko collectibles, Magic the gathering, and Baseball cards. They also have some amazing paintings on the wall by a local artist. I believe those are $ 500, but they said that the price is negotiable. I wouldn’t mind getting one of the paintings when I have a spare $ 500.
The customer service is top notch. The price of Nancy was $ 25, which I was more than happy to spend. But, they gave us $ 3 off, which was a pleasant surprise.
I think I found a nice place to keep my boyfriend while I’m shopping at the mall.
Also, you can park inside the mall for 3 hours free.

I stopped by Cool Cats to get my husband some graphic novels for Christmas. It’s a cozy, well stocked comic shop with a small but well thought out selection of comics, graphic novels, cards, and vinyl figures. I had no trouble finding two graphic novels that I felt my husband would be in to. The shop is run by twin brothers who clearly love what they do. The service was friendly but not too invasive. I am looking forward to bringing my husband back to the shop. Parking was easy — grab a spot at the Westside Pavilion and walk over or grab a metered spot out front on Pico.

Decent shop, lots of new issues and some older stuff in boxes. Didn’t appreciate the employee’s attitude though, kept asking if we needed help every 2 minutes like he wanted us to leave. Then I actually bought some stuff and he was still a bit rude. Lots of solid comic shops on the west side these days so won’t be coming back to this one.

Was strolling by the shop and saw the Twins drawing, yes, drawing comics. I’ve never been to a comic shop where you can actually see the panels being created but lo and behold, you can at Cool Cats!
Walked inside, got greeted and was allowed to wander without getting smothered like the previous reviewer wrote.
Comic selection is alright (not a big reader) but the mood was chill. Not one of those comic shops where you’re watched constantly by the owner.
Coolest part was when Matt showed me the process of making comics and the reason why they use 11×17 in the industry.
Worth a visit if you actually read comics or are into Warhammer/​Magic!

Lovely store, and the twins are very friendly and kind!
The store is quite small, with their selection being fairly small. The comic stores I’m more familiar with have a large variety of things in their stores — children’s books with great art and a very large variety of comic books, from those thin periodic ones to the collections. Personally, I prefer to see more options since I am not interested in those thin periodic comics and I like cuter books.
They are, however, very friendly which makes you feel comfortable and I love that aspect. With affordable items, this place is lovely.

Once again the Twins come through. This place is a great locally owned store that prides itself on great customer service, friendly banter, and local support. Pretty much the best one can home for in an industry as commercialized as comics. The guys really know their stuff and were super helpful when I had questions about other comics I might be interested in. They went out of their way to promote free comic events and best of all they let me wander without making me feel smothered.
Welcome to my new «go-​to» comic shop.
