Confirmed: September 2010.
This store stocks mostly big 5 new release comics, but there some smaller press gems in the store. They sell action figures and some games, but for the most part the shop focuses on back issue comics as there were about 100 long boxes in this small space (I’d guess 500 – 600 sq/ft). There wre some trades/GN’s, including some indy comics; interestingly, all of these books were bagged.

This store has pull lists but only stock minimal comics for walk-in purchase. Very minimal. The owner calls the shop a clubhouse, not a store, and based on this I agree. Millennium is a place to play card games and board games and heroclix games, intended to hang out in the clubhouse, but not a retail outlet.

There is a $5 cover charge to enter this business. Seriously. Besides that bit of oddness, there are live animals kept in the shop. And not cats or dogs, either. There is a crocodile, a python, 2 lemurs and an albino kangaroo. I’m not kidding! A visually impressive store that would fit into the Las Vegas strip or even Times Square, Heroes is unfortunately short on comic book inventory. If you are looking for 90’s to 2010 recent back issues, this place might work, but there wasn’t much else. Action figures, though, this place is awesome. I always refer to Silver Snail as “Toronto’s best action figure store”, as a snarky way of saying that they aren’t Toronto’s best comic book store, but Heroes has the Snail beat for action figures.
