Located right next to The Fresh Market, in the same square as the CVS and Electrolux. When you…read morefirst walk in, I was transported to a mini-comic book convention in the heart of Augusta. The selection of toys, comics, figurines, autographs is vast. Top Dog Comics selection beats out most comic book stores on the east coast. Vintage GIJOE, check. Newly released Transformers, check. Latest Young Avengers comic book, check. Autographed Josh Brolin (Thanos), check. Warhammer models, check. Japanese across toys, check. Vintage and current Star Wars toys, check I probably spent over an hour looking over their selection of comics, display packaging, autographs on the display case, and their large selection of toys. My inner nerdiness geeked out for the rest of the afternoon. Speaking with the staff, you get a sense of what is out on the market. I probably spent at least 15+ minutes talking to the staff on the variations of Iron Man armor toys before making a final decision on my purchase. In conclusion, this is my go-to comic book store, especially for a protective case. Highly recommend for people and families to walk around and see the vast inventory they have for sale and walk through memory lane.

Why would I try to pawn dental gold which is worthless, keep in mind the current bullion cost for 18 grams of gold at 14k is $1,380 I was willing to take $800-900 your loss honestly I will definitely be able to sell them to an actually REPUTABLE business. Poor customer service at its finest, literally asked them to test it for themselves and they refused. UPDATE the next place I went to (Stackers Bullion) gave me $920.85 I guess my jewelry wasn't fake after all. Glad though because they gave me more than these people even quoted me for before turning me around in person.

The Book Tavern had that wonderful afternoon hum today, the kind that tells you a bookstore isn't…read morejust surviving but actually thriving. It was busy in the best possible way: people drifting between shelves with purpose, a small line forming at the register, and an author set up at a front table signing books while chatting with readers. Moments like that feel like a quiet victory for local culture, a reminder that #LocalBooks still matter and that Augusta shows up for them. I lingered longer than I meant to because the browsing here pulls you in. The front tables were stacked with new releases and staff picks, and the red dot discount display added that little spark of treasure‑hunt energy. The range of subjects is part of what makes the place feel so alive. Politics and gender identity sit alongside fiction and romance, sci fi and fantasy, table games, cookbooks, and a genuinely thoughtful section on Augusta history. It's the kind of curation that reflects a community rather than a trend algorithm. And of course, there's the upstairs. It's one of the shop's best features. Quieter, a little more contemplative, with shelves that reward slow wandering. A busy bookstore on a weekend afternoon is a small civic joy. The Book Tavern manages to feel both rooted and evolving, a place where Augusta's literary life gathers itself and keeps going. [Review 212 of 2026 - 913 in Georgia - 25401 overall]

In a not so distant life I spent a ton of money on comic books, own a lot, and stopped reading them…read moreabout 5 years ago. When we made our trip to Columbia, one of the places I didn't know we were going to stop in was Cosmic rays! Cosmic rays specializes in a lot of things, including video games, toys but most importantly, comics! They have a nice selection of comics and being surrounded by them brought back nostalgia. My gf wanted to buy some comics for a friend since we were in the area, and rather than tell her what I thought, we picked the brain of staff, who were super cool about listening to what she was looking for, and came with recommendations that were right in line with what she wanted. Super friendly staff who were happy to let us casually peruse, and ultimately we walked away with a comic featuring AOC (a comic she couldn't walk away from). Located off of Devine st, there is limited parking right in front of the shop, but we didn't have a problem finding a spot, nor did we see the lot full each time we passed the area. Friendly staff, located on a main road, and filled with lots of entertainment from games to movies to comics, if you or someone you know wants to get into some adventures, come check Cosmic Rays out!

The two gentlemen at the counter very loudly said "I hate when randos come in and especially kids" and looks directly at him. Only person in the store is my kid. My kid is 17 and wanted to purchase some comics. Truly a poor way to treat someone who frequents other comic stores. Just won't be going to this one. I advise not to go and spend your money in a place where they don't want random people walking in.

I've gotten few Lego sets here and just about every one of the portrait ones. I come around every few days and there's always a new set that's usually hard to find in stores like Walmart or Target. Picked up the sunflower set this time and it was priced the same as what you'd pay on Amazon. Was fortunate to get the only one they had and looking forward to building it! This location also has a Starbucks located in the back, so you can sip on some drinks & snacks while reading. If you're a Pokemon Go player, there are multiple gyms and poke stops so I also like to chill and play the game at Starbucks.
