Note: I'm just reviewing this place as a shop, no events or game nights…read more I've been here a couple of times and it's always clean and the staff is incredibly helpful. The area it is in is a strip mall so there are other things around to take a look at. On one visit, my friend wanted to know the status of an order she had placed, and if the shop could change the name on her order. The guy behind the counter helped change the name no problem. He was super efficient and even checked if there was anything else that needed to be altered in the system on the shop's end. I thought this was really rad. They have the standard comic book store items. It is not huge, but it is well organized and they're willing to order any books they do not have in stock already. Stop in if you're in the area.

I was in from San Diego and looked up local comic stores in Austin to visit while visiting…read morerelatives. This store was clean, well-organized and had quite a variety of comic-related items. I was on a treasure hunt for silver-age JLA. Found a lot. Tim double-checked the pricing and updated some of them, which was an honest thing to do. It decreased some of the prices, which made me buy more. Later, I decided that a bookend pewter statue needed to be in my home, so I called and bought it. Tim was upfront and said it was damaged and knocked a significant amount off it. McCaela was great in answering my questions about shipping. This is a great place with great customer service and I'll be back for sure.
