    Never judge a book by its cover, or a building from its exterior. Once you walk through the door of what looks like an old warehouse for the first time, it's like a step back in time (where life was far more simple). Inside, you'll be overly impressed and somewhat overwhelmed with how the Emporium is completely packed and bursting at the seams with merchandise. Whatever you're in to, this family run store will have it. And if they haven't, they'll check their other store or gladly order it in for you. Nothing is impossible here, but it can be pricey. Saturday's are super busy, and it's so great to see people getting involved in the games in store. There is a board outside which shows the daily scheduled events for the month. If D+D, Magic or board games isn't your thing, there's even a movie night or comic club. Plus, there's a retro Pac-Man arcade machine right by the front door/exit... There's also a membership available for a small fee that will give give you a discounted amount off every purchase you make. Staff in here are so helpful and they really know their stuff. We've met the owners daughters on previous visits who work here and were so taken back at how knowledgeable they were. It's SO awesome to meet (adult) females who know their sh*t - the "nerd world" is so much more accessible because of ladies like these. So basically, I will not "return" as such, because this is now where I'm going to live out the rest of my adult years. Cool. Come visit my house sometime.

    I really wish I lived in Virginia again. My sister told me about this beautiful comic store and I went to check it out. I was sooooooo not disappointed! It was stocked with so many comics. I didn't check it all out because I had to leave for a 9 hour drive back to CT, but they did have Xena comics. Even a kids comics section. Got a Star Trek vs Transformer comic for my daughter. I can't wait to read it to her. And I can't wait to read my Xena comics. I'm so fricken happy. When I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be coming down here. Next time really check out all the comics they got.

    From the outside, it looks a bit abandoned and the windows are painted over with an old mural, so it feels like a gamble going inside. So much room dedicated to gaming! Shabby around the edges, as one expects from hobby shops and bookstores. There's that continual project, mismatched display setup that is common to many used bookstores and comic shops. It's pretty easy to determine different sections. Displays could use some love but I didn't notice anything suffering for want of protection. Lots of old comic stock, if you are interested in DC or Marvel. The Indies were not much represented as far as I saw, except in trades. There are tons of figurines, minis, and collectables. There is a main area to the right with gaming tables, though there are standalone tables in other sections. The proprietors were around, helpful, but not hovering even though we were the only visitors at the time. In short, well worth a visit. There is a calendar of events and releases posted by the front door. It's not in pristine condition, but it's certainly not dilapidated or scary like some shops are. I hope to be able to go to one of the events sometime soon.
