Such a fun comic shop!…read more This shop may be on the smaller side, but that doesn't mean there isn't a ton to see or do. Cards, comics and mangas, figures, snacks, a tabletop tournament area, you name it, they have it. The staff members are so friendly and actually know their stuff so you're sure to get excellent help or advice if you need them. It's such a cool place, and I've purchased a ton of Magic decks, card sleeves, and far too many Asian snacks from them and I guarantee you that I will continue to do so. I'd highly recommend swinging by Dragon's Lair. And don't forget to check out their daily event schedule to see if you want to participate in one of their tournaments!

Greeted by the owner, Phil, and Bill, who own and run the shop, I was in awe of all the vintage goods. If you're looking for a shop that knows vintage and has enthusiasts that love talking vintage comics, this is a must stop shop! They have so many cool books and series, and are so knowledgeable about each and every one of them, so if you have any questions, ask and they would be glad to help or tell you more. Tucked in the corner of the shop is a vintage Galaxian cabinet that is on free play, and if you beat Phil's high score, you get half off on 10 dollar comics! Highly recommend this shop to anyone that is a collector of comics, or honestly just any nerd. Phil and Bill will take care of you and make you want to come back as soon as you can.

This place is SO COOL!!…read more My fiancé and I love stopping by regularly to see what's new in store. The guys here are the absolute coolest and have been so helpful, and the amount of awesome merch crammed into this place is INSANE. From board games and their accessories to giant superhero statues, they have it all. We've purchased almost all of our comic books here, several Pokémon and One Piece cards/packs, plushies, and a few figures from them. Their layaway plan is super reasonable and made it possible for us to bring home one of our largest figures, J. Scott Campbell's Alice, to date. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you haven't already visited. This place is an experience, and I'd be absolutely shocked if you can't find what you're looking for.

I've decided to explore the city's used bookstores. It seems we have quite a few, and I wasn't…read moreaware of many of them. Nine lives books was one of them. It is located in a strip mall off Fredericksburg, and it won't be found unless ones looking for it, which I was. It is not a very big place, but it does have a lot of knickknacks, including an impressive collection of stickers, bookmarks, and vinyl records, to name a few. It actually is a pretty neat place. The books are used and for the most part they're very reasonably priced. They do not have an inventory of the books, so you do have to look through shelves, if looking for a particular title. And their staff is only one person at the cashier. Which is to say that you can browse to your heart's content, and discover some major reads. They also had quite a few boxes of books that were under one dollar or $.50. This is one of those places that I intend to return to, because of pricing and to support small businesses. I truly recommend visiting this place. It makes for a fun visit.

They rarely promote them on social media and mainly just promote cards. That's great but there are so many card shops. So yeah it would be nice if they widen their selection on funko pops and other collectibles. Like comic books are listed but they don't have them. It would be great to see comic books there. Also with the cards it would be nice to see like Star Wars or marvel cards. Hopefully this doesn't sound harsh but I've seen this store before they moved to this location. I know they have the potential to be a lot more. It's just disappointing that they have leaned so heavily to cards. When people like myself originally came for different stuff.

Their volunteers are always so helpful & knowledgeable. Its why I come back. Well, & the books. I came this time wanting cookbooks. I hadn't ever looked at their selection before. I collect vintage cookbooks, (yes, I use them too. ), I was happy to see the selection they had. I'll be back to look. Definitely adding this area to my focus. Right around the corner from the cookbooks are the vintage books. Well, they had this wonderful little Dick Tracy book. I knew it was coming home with me. Then, when I went to psy they were going to give me the Dick Tracy one. I told them no, I wanted to pay for it, it gives them the money. Isn't that the point!?
