This small shop has so much character and Todd the owner is super welcoming and friendly. His knowledge on books and guitars is amazing. I was so happy to make this trip to check out his shop and interact with him was a highlight to my trip. Picked up some great singles and TPB. Will definitely come back again

the owner was literally so sweet. i said i needed to debate which comics to get out of 5 and he put 2 comics from $3 to $1. he also had x-men postcards 2 for $1 and he let me get 3 for $1 instead. i don't think i've ever left a review before but i was so happy i just wanted to say something.

I can’t believe this place is still open. I found some great books missing from my collection and I loved the deals I got on them. I was a regular in the early 90s of the original shop.

Great little comic shop! The new owner is a super cool guy. Very nice. I had a pull list going and I had moved and hadn’t gotten a chance to pick em up for a couple months. Thankfully the new owner kept my list going and didn’t miss an issue! Extremely helpful. Definitely worth the trip if you’re an avid comic collector. Lot's of back issues.

This place is an interesting concept for a comics store combining the love of music with a love for comics. Don’t let the neighborhood scare you away from shopping here. You have to be buzzed in but it makes sense once you’re inside. A lot of great music equipment and interesting selection of comics. Definitely found what I was looking for. The owner is really nice and helpful.

New owner taking over from the old owner soon, and the store seems to be in good hands! Excellent and eclectic selection of modern books, if you are looking for low print run modern this might be the best place in town! I'm into the older vintage Comics and found a great stash of Carl Barks Donald duck comics from the 1940s and '50s. The owner gave me a fair deal and allowed me to inspect the comics to my satisfaction. Good silver age selection as well. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Green Shift Comics – Tampa’s Hidden Gem for Comics & Guitars! If you're a comic fan—or just want to check out some cool guitars—Green Shift Comics is a must-visit. This shop is a goldmine of comics. Whether you're hunting for the latest releases or a hard-to-find classic, Green Shift has it all. What truly sets it apart is the passionate and knowledgeable owner, Todd. He went above and for me, offering sage advice and expert guidance for this newbie. Having visited both before and after he bought the store, I can say his reorganization and attention to detail transformed it into an inviting, well-curated space. In an era where comic shops can feel sterile or corporate, Green Shift radiates personality and heart. Do yourself a favor and check them out—you won't be disappointed. 5 out of 5 stars!

Green Shift is a Tampa main stay, a must for true comic fans including the new stuff. Under new ownership the store has everything you need guitar wise as well. Lots of parking, easy to work with, great prices and a fun hang, highly recommend.

Always knew about Green Shift my whole life growing up but finally had a reason to come by today. Met the owner Todd who was as friendly as could be. I was only there to get an amp cable and Todd got me what I needed. Fun shop and I will be back to look around again!

God Works In Mysterious Ways. I was headed to a seafood place to get Snowcrabs for a neighbor who turned 80 yrs. old November 16, 2024. In route to the restaurant I saw a sign about Music.... Well Comic and Music. I had never seen the sign before. So I pulled over, parked my van and went in. Boy was I SHOCKED AT WHAT ALL THIS AMAZING PLACE HAVE TO OFFER. I spoke with someone name, "Todd". He helped me. God Works In Mysterious Ways. Thank You Lord

I've been shopping here for fifteen years and always have a great time. The folks working are kind, welcoming, and have deep knowledge and love for the products they sell. If you want a personable, neighborhood experience this is the place to go. But if you're looking for a big box "do whatever you want and they have to force a smile" experience then its not really your place. Be nice, respect the stuff, and you'll get the same in return.

My favorite comic shop in Tampa!! Not only do they have an amazing new titles section, (A whole rook just for them!) I could spend hours in the back issues room! I always find something I like while browsing the boxes back there, and at $1 a comic, I can't say no! I always go to Green Shift first whenever I'm looking for 90's titles and early 2000's runs. I love this shop so much, and the owners are great people to talk to.

Great store--the term "don't judge a book by its cover" certainly applies to this place. New comics, a giant room of back issues will keep you busy for hours! Keep an eye out for their secret sales on back issues!

Wish I went to the old location. This location just doesn't look right. Owner is a nice guy, but everything is cramped. I like the fact he got music but some of those vinyls are over priced(not even good vinyls).If you only there to buy a comic or two, bring cash. Using card needs to be 10$ and over.
