    The best place to buy comics and see live comedy in L.A. I moved to the neighborhood to be closer to Meltdown and it was worth it.

    The displays they have set up throughout the store were fantastic. I was that nerd walking around pointing out things and giving the history on it to friends. Was there for Greg Proop's podcast.

    They're popular so they tend to run out of new issues quickly, but you can sign up for their pull list (for free!) and they'll hold all your comics for two weeks.

    Bonus to signing up for their pull list: All the comics you get within the time frame are 20% off! And all comics in the store will be 10% off, no matter what!

    It can get crowded at night with people in line for NerdMelt just picking thru the comics killing time. If ur there on a mission for books try to be patient an not kill anyone. They are still ur ppl.

    If you are looking for Comics or collectibles, this is your spot. Meltdown has a great collection of monthlies, trades, toys, clothes and more. You can also catch some of L.A's best comedians there. O

    CA (Shop) Nerd Alert! This is one of LA's biggest and best comic book stores, they have a great section of graphic novels. Best part, it's a short walk from The Standard, Hollywood!

    Fun fact: their little alien logo was designed by Dan Clowes (hence the collection) - great place for events but not for actual comic books.

    Debate which superhero is best, then venture to the back room for a cheap comedy show at the NerdMelt Showroom.

    Amazing, the store is still in business! They sell the SAME book and comic merchandise that Barnes&Noble does, or Japanese Kinokuniya bookstore at the high price. Warning, NOT a discount place, sorry.

    It's great! , I usually use this as a halfway point to use the air-conditioner whilst walking to Amoeba from the Coffee Bean. It is great if you like comics like me.

    I wish that the comics had been divided into groups based on publisher, not just alphabetically by title.
