Raven Comics is a leader in the city, providing the necessary drive to promote artists and conventions here in Winnipeg. Support them, it’s worth it.

I also like Maxx Collectibles, mainly as it’s on my way home from work but the staff is really friendly, it’s not overcrowded (like many other typical comic shops) and feels like a retail store versus someone’s basement.
Comics America on Academy is another good one, with an incredibly huge inventory of toys and such. BUT with narrow aisles, stock to the ceiling, stock hanging from the ceiling, and poor lighting, it’s a little scary to go through. They really need a place twice the size of what they have but they support local artists and will have what you’re looking for.
