Strange Adventures Comics & Curiosities

May 24th, 2023

I recently moved to Nova Scotia from another province and one thing I have noticed is how kind all my fellow citizens are. I mention this because it stands in stark contrast to my experience at Strange Adventures, and why I will never shop there again nor recommend it to anyone I meet. The first employee I met at the door was rude and abrasive, but I shrugged it off as a misunderstanding. When he offered help, he couldnt hide the condescension in his answers, even though he had no way of knowing if I was new to comic books or a seasoned fan. Even this I would have ignored, but as I cashed out at the front, I could hear him being further antagonistic towards other potential customers entering the store. Imagine if you will Jeff Albertson (Comic Book Guy) from the Simpson made flesh and blood. However, rather than having the charm and wit of a talented team of TV writers, he had only years of embittered disillusionment for his career that metastasized into a personality that repels customers. I feel vindicated by other reviews I have seen that confirm just how unwelcoming that one employee is. I wish I could support this local comic shop, which caters to so many of my fandoms, but I never will again.

Paid a visit to the Prince Street location while visiting Halifax. What an amazing shop! Huge selection of titles and a ton of other cool merch as well. Calum was incredibly helpful and welcoming. 10/10 recommend checking out this shop when in town.
