Donald BuleyJune 10, 2013The 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!
CraveOnlineJanuary 8, 2011If 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
The StandardMarch 14, 2011CA (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!
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.
David CaffreySeptember 14, 2011It'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.
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.
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.
Rachel MercerApril 21, 2013Fun fact: their little alien logo was designed by Dan Clowes (hence the collection) - great place for events but not for actual comic books.
Everything is good. Dogs allowed now. Meltdown rocks!
Los AngelesAugust 1, 2013Debate which superhero is best, then venture to the back room for a cheap comedy show at the NerdMelt Showroom.
Andrew SpearAugust 15, 2012Amazing shop for buying presents, not just for geeks, I got some great man-toys and books for the less geeky members of our family!
Thirsty JamesSeptember 7, 2014Home to Nerdist podcasts and comics and vinyl toys and geeky tshirts and and and... Head blown away
Jonathan RogersSeptember 19, 2014The basement where they have comedy shows gets super warm. Dress lightly.
Sean MarneyNovember 30, 2013Cool store with fun selection of books, but why does the pinball machine get balls stuck so much?? TILT.
Stina P.August 13, 2017check out the friday 40 with dave holmes in the back once a month - so so funny!
My second home in LA. Great shows, amazing staff, and comics, need I say more?!
Elisabeth LongshoreJuly 6, 2015I wish that the comics had been divided into groups based on publisher, not just alphabetically by title.
Black Nerd ComedySeptember 29, 2011Meltdown gives me the bomb Smurf hook-ups. I've gotten Smurf figurines, Smurf graphic novels, and even a King Smurf bank!
Sunday evening is a free comedy show (open mic) that's always a blast whether you're going up or not!
D&D: NeverwinterOctober 3, 2011New York Times best-selling fantasy author R.A. Salvatore will be signing copies of his new Dungeons & Dragons novel, Neverwinter, on 10/4 from 6-8PM! Read more- They accept BITCOIN and DOGECOIN. Crypto is king there
Very girl-friendly comic shop. The staff is made of awesome and stardust!
