Great selection of titles stocked, including the FCBD stuff. Good range of different priced things too, from bargain basement to the more collectable. Friendly staff who know their stuff and are very helpful. My daughter loves her visits there when we also hit the library across the road. Well worth a visit to support your local purveyor of the fantastical (and extend your collection too!)

Amazing choice of comics, good selection of various merchandise, great help and even one or two surprises on the shelves that weren't there on previous visits.

Nice and cozy place. Got all sorts of goodies an ageing nerd can ask for! Manga, comics, books, posters, and even some collectibles! Must say tho I thought the shop would be more heavy on anime collectibles inside based on what you can see from outside just behind the glass but still a lot in there! The two ladies who were there during my first visit were super friendly and helpful. If You're after some quality reading magerial or some other nerdy goodies please give Close Encounters a visit! :)

Not in my price range to buy more than one item unfortunately. English prices are based on U.S. dollars, less a couple on everything I checked ($4.99 = £2.99 / $53.99 = £51.99?), 'go figure'!Plenty for nerds and geeks, but too expensive for me to indulge in.

The staff are always friendly and they have a great range of comics, graphic novels and licensed goods. There is also a bargain section upstairs where you just might find the missing comic from your collection.
