Strange Adventures
5262 Sackville St.
Halifax, NS
“Nestled alongside the steep Sackville Street at the base of Halifax’s historic Citadel Hill, is Strange Adventures, the Maritime’s most well known comic book shop. It offers something for everyone: wall-to-wall comic books, shelves of manga, numerous cases of gorgeous figurines many of us only dream of owning, and every other inch and corner covered with all the things cool, fun and geeky in all the best ways.” Read more…

Monster Comic Lounge
2091 Gottingen St.
Halifax, NS
“Originally known as Wilkies Wonderful World of Comics, before it moved to its new and current location, the Monster Comic Lounge has a small and friendly staff who’re good with bringing in custom orders for you in a timely manner. They have a pretty good sized collection of comic books, roleplay board games and related toys. There’s also a decent sized amount of manga, though many of which tend to be older releases versus newer ones. The location is a little out of the way compared to other stores located closer to Halifax’s core locations but it’s still pretty easy to find.”
Odyssey 2000
6407 Quinpool Rd.
Halifax, NS
“Renowned for being run by one of the rudest storeowners on the entire East Coast, Odyssey 2000 has been around since the seventies and they won’t let you forget it. It brings in most new comic book titles and offers a very good array of manga titles, including some that are often only available through orders, such as DMP’s numerous yaoi titles. They also run numerous gaming tournments for card and board based games. A good place to find some surprise titles but not a friendly enviroment. Get in and get out if you must! Odyssey 2000 is currently in the process of closing.”
Gamezilla
6 Havelock St.
Truro, NS
“One of the smaller stores in the GameZilla franchises, Truro’s GameZilla location is still a good source for anime and manga in the area. They have a decent sized collection of anime boxsets and manga books, though unfortunately the boxsets are expensively priced and all the books are locked behind glass, making impulse purchases very difficult to decide upon. You can generally count of your orders and books coming in a timely manner and there’s certainly no shortage of video games and random assorted action figures (including some hard to find Berserk figurines!). The staff are kind and informed.”
The Batter’s Box
94 Esplanade St.
Truro, NS
“The Batter’s Box is a speciality store for child-friendly toys but also includes a nice assortment of video games, DVDs, comic books and manga. The manga shelf always has an interesting assortment of titles including some that aren’t often brought in by shops, such as Go!Comi’s Black Sun Silver Moon. All books are in plastic bags which the staff may or may not let you take out to flip through. The store is staffed by two individuals, both of whom are generally very helpful and polite. They also bring in custom orders for their customers.”
