From the Web*:
Most Wanted Comics opened in early 2023 in a strip mall on West Old Shakopee Road in Bloomington, bringing with it over 30 years of industry experience from the family behind the counter. The shop has carved out a clear identity in the Twin Cities comic scene: back issues are the main event, with a strong emphasis on silver and bronze age books, display-worthy key issues, and a well-organized selection that reviewers consistently call clean, well-lit, and easy to browse. New issues are available too, and pull list services are offered — though a few customers have noted that the new release selection is limited and some titles may require a special order.
Beyond comics, Most Wanted has grown into a solid multi-category shop. Trading cards (Pokémon, Magic, sports cards, and more), vintage toys, action figures, Funko Pops, and collectibles round out the floor, and the eBay store extends the reach of their inventory online. The staff earns consistently high marks — friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping people build their collections or find investment-grade books. More than one reviewer has specifically mentioned the father-and-son dynamic at the store as part of its charm.
Where Most Wanted really distinguishes itself is the guest appearance program. The shop has hosted an impressive and eclectic lineup of signers: wrestlers like Jimmy Hart, Sgt. Slaughter, The Honky Tonk Man, Brutus Beefcake, and The Godfather; comic creators including Larry Hama, Keith Williams, Paul Pelletier, and Zander Cannon; athletes; and even film actors. These events are announced regularly on Facebook and draw strong crowds, making MWC one of the more active event-oriented shops in the metro. They also produce a YouTube channel with interviews and store features that’s worth a look if you want a feel for the place before visiting.
The shop holds a 4.8 Google rating across 100+ reviews — hard to argue with. The only consistent note of constructive feedback is around new release depth, so if weekly pulls are your primary need, it’s worth confirming availability upfront. For back issues, vintage collectibles, or the next signing event, Most Wanted delivers.

Our Take:
We haven’t been to Most Wanted Comics yet–actually, despite the fact that I found them via Facebook some time ago, I never realized they were on Old Shakopee Road–not that I travel that road daily or weekly, but I am a bit surprised I haven’t at least seen the shop driving by. Definitely going to check them out soon.
