I love you BatFam! This is the best comic shop in the Bay Area. I have never felt such a strong community at any other establishment until the day I walked into Bat City Comic Professionals. Matt and Shann are the kindest, most sincere, and selfless people I have ever met. Bat City does so much for the Bradenton community and deserves world wide recognition for their lovely non-profit.

I’ve gotta say—I LOVE this store! The owners and every single employee at Bat City Comics are awesome, but I really have to sing the praises of one standout in particular: Santiago. Not only does he have an incredible personality, but he makes you feel truly welcome the moment you walk through the door. He goes above and beyond—every time—to make sure you get exactly what you’re looking for and genuinely enjoy the experience. Today, Alex also helped me and was just as friendly and attentive. You can tell that this team takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every interaction. Other shops should take note—this is how you treat customers. Great people, great vibe, great store.

This store is great! They have tons of cool merchandise & more back issues than I could look through in the time I had. Got to have a really fun conversation with the owner. Any collector in town should definitely stop in!

I’ve been to a lot of comic shops in my life, I have never been to a comic shop as fantastic as this. Bat city comics was phenomenal. Saw it completely by chance and stopped in and left with a bunch of great stuff. The staff was friendly, they had an amazing stock, and it’s clearly run and operated by people that care about comics. I live in Tampa and this is my new favorite comic shop. Would give 6 stars if I could.

Thank the good Lord we found this place while in Florida! One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to find a great 'Mom-n-Pop' comic shop. This was one of those gems that you could spend all day in! We were in the Fort Myer area all week and hadn't found a single place I'd consider an -ACTUAL- comic shop. I had come to think that those were just the style of southern Florida "comic shops" and that perhaps I'm super spoiled with mine in New Hampshire, and the amazing ones all over New England. BAT CITY SAVED THE DAY!!! This place is gorgeous. The care they put into labeling, boxing, organizing, and keeping everything clean and safe is awe inspiring. The selection is insane as well. New, recent, old, and older comics galore. $1, $2 comic boxes in bulk. Everything back issue is priced to move. The graphic novel selection was massive. Best of all the 'kid corner' was amazing. Our daughter would have been there with me all weekend if we didn't have to fly home. The owners were just as amazing. Personable, engaging, kind, enjoyable. Just a great visit and exactly what makes actual comic shops the place to go. Even better is the non-profit aspect. I teach in special education and absolutely love that they are set up to help kids in multiple ways like learning, reading, and having a safe place to be. If you've made it this far through my rant stop everything else you're doing and make your way to Bat City! You will not be sorry, and if you live close go back as much as possible for me!

A non-profit comic shop that exists to encourage comic love and literacy? Yes, please! This place is spectacular. The owners don't even draw paychecks, they do this out of the goodness of their hearts. So yeah, go here and spend money. Such an amazing place run by spectacular people! I'll be back!

Place was like walking into the comic-verse. Incredible amount of inventory. Also, I learned while there it’s a non-profit, so happy to give them my money when I can. If you love comics you have to check it out!

We stumbled upon this gem of a place recently and my kids were enthralled with it! It’s like entering another universe - all about comics! They had a back room with a table set up for the kids to create their own comic strips or comic mood boards. I sat with them and created one too - not even realizing we spent probably two hours in the store! The owners were so incredibly sweet and patient with my kids who wouldn’t stop talking their ears off. They gave us some water as well and lots of great comic recommendations! This is definitely a new favourite spot of ours!

We visited Bat City while on vacation to the area last week. The owners were so welcoming and so kind to my son who is just starting to get into comics. The work they’re doing in the surrounding community is commendable and so needed. We will most definitely visit again during this trip and for years to come.

I had the pleasure of going to see Shannon and Matt at Bat City Comic Professionals while in Tampa visiting family. I love these guys. They were so welcoming and had so much advice to and knowledge to give me. I met with Shannon for the first time at NYCC 2023. She held a roundtable on how to get more involved in your community. I got to witness that in person. They truly are truly loved by there community and I hope to do the same at Baby Gorilla Comics when I return. They and I truly have comic shops as a labor of love. Trust me when I say it not for the money. If your ever in the Sarasota Florida area please stop by. I promise you will love them and there shop. You will also walk out smiling from ear to ear. They love what they do and it shows. ❤️

We drove from Germany to Cape Coral for our vacation and spent two hours getting to BatCity. And it was worth it! A fantastic, very well-stocked shop with charm and incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. We loved everything and highly recommend the shop to all comic book fans!
