Huge selection, and, even amidst the craziness of Free Comic Book Day this past weekend, the owner and staff were so gracious in giving me and my spouse recommendations for reads we might enjoy. People who really seem to enjoy their work in a store that has new and used comics, graphic novels, manga, and games. Just a great experience. read more

First and foremost, a shout out to Charles. He was just the best. Spotted us strangers from Tennessee noticing they were not open yet, but half chased us down to open the door early. Thrown into the bargain? Just a fantastic little comic bookstore with a nice selection of vintage and new graphic novels and poster memorabilia. Prices were actually very good considering the market. Found a great old MAD magazine for a great price. By the train station? You should stop in for sure. read more

There was an amazing selection of comics and the store was super well kept + clean! The workers were very sweet and helpful in helping find any kind of comic I needed, and the store seems well stocked in terms of new comics even for a more niche market. I got my comic there for $10 which was a great price and not marked up at all! read more

This is one of our mandatory stops for every trip to Santa Fe. My husband and I both like graphic novels, and I like graphic biographies. Big Adventure always has something we haven't read before. I just need to learn to pack fewer clothes so there's more room for books going home. And I got some good dish on one of my favorite comics from the in-the-know owner. read more

Solid 5 stars for selection, customer service, cleanliness of the space and overall vibe! Really friendly people in charge and a huge selection of comics as well as magic cards and DND material. They run special events almost daily and obviously care deeply about the social aspect of the games they sell. Highly recommended to shop here! read more

Great comic store in the railroad district. In a new spot. Lots of new and back issues. Great graphic novel selection and some local comics too. The have a gaming and magic focused store in back with magic drafts too. Nice place and staff is knowledgeable and friendly. read more

This place has great energy if you're into comics and/or Magic. Great selections and Kevin is the homie!

Small comic book store and it's the only one in town! We came here for free comic book day and grabbed a couple of books. Took a look around and they seemed to have a good selection of trades and current books. It was clean and organized and quite nice. read more

See all

Formerly known as True Believer's Comics, this retail establishment has a new name and a new owner. The location is awesome (right next to Whole Foods and 4 Star Tattoo), and now is venturing into the whole gaming thing, especially Magic the Gathering... If you are a frequent buyer (like myself) and establish a pull-list, you can get a decent discount on your weekly comic book buys. It's very relaxed and all the employees are comic book fans and not just retail sales people, so you can ask questions and get knowledgeable answers. Oh, and if you are parched, they also now sell soft drinks because shopping for comic books is hard work! read more

Nice folks, cool comic and game selection, and most importantly... magic cards! Tables for playing, events, etc. so you will have a nice community whether you're drafting, playing commander or whatever other format. Solid shop. Go! read more

Came in looking for some new reads and found some! Yay!! I love the fact I could go in and not feel that judgement of "Oh..your in for-what?" or an uncomfortable feeling. The guy behind the counter was nice and recommended me a Japanese Zombie Manga (BTW it was awesome.) I look forward on coming back to this place. read more

As a collector and a huge fan of all things Comic...I am stoked to have a store like the BAC. They have they latest issues including awesome independent and local comics. The staff is very cool and always seem ready to help you find anything. I love hearing about about new comics and why the staff likes a particular writer or artist. Support your local comic book store!!! read more

Went in to ask advise about selling a MtG collection and couldn't have been meet with a less helpful or more disinterested representative there. Hopefully they are passionate about something there, that's what comic book shops used to be about. Sad! read more

I'm happy that Santa Fe has a comic store. I enjoy this new location instead of their other one due to easy accessibility. You don't have to try to cross traffic in a busy area however during peak hours Sanbusco can be difficult to find parking. Though with many businesses moving that has lessened. This place is also a great stop if you are waiting for the train or having a day trip to Santa Fe. They have most of the popular comics and some manga. They also have used comics at a discount if you are starting out and unsure of which type of comic you are into. read more

We loved this place. We always try to stop in and support local comic businesses wherever we go. This store was easily organized (by alphabet), had a nice mixture of the latest releases along with lots of shelves filled with bound volumes of earlier releases. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and helped with suggestions for stuff we hadn't read before. Look forward to visiting again our next time in town. read more

I'm not a fan of comic books or anime- so WHY AM I HERE? I'm the parent of someone who's into comic books and anime. So FOR PARENTS-- there's a table to sit at which is nice! AND centipede and GALAGA!! It's old school! If that's not your thing then you can sit on a chair (provided) at the table (provided) and write reviews of the quant store you took your 14 year old daughter and NOT ONCE was there a complaint! She even smiled when she found Manga ( she'd be so proud of me speaking her language)!! Parents.... You know how it goes-- if your 14 yo is happy- your happy. ITS a cute place with lots of comics and a good bit of Anime! Nice job owners! read more

I go there every Friday with my friends and it is the best they have tons of mtg the have all the D&D books and they have tons of great comics. Check it out soon. read more

Let me start with admitting I have a bit of a bias towards this comics and games store. This is because I am good friends with the current owner, whom I watched work is way up from employee to give it a new name. He works endlessly, and that shows every day. Kevin impresses me with his ability to cultivate an environment where good people meet others like themselves. I had forgotten how to play magic the Gathering when I went to an event one Friday night, and no one in there was less than eager to remind me of the rules. I get recommendations for graphic novels such as Kill Shakespeare by both employees and other customers. This place has grown both physically (added space) and in every other way. As I like to say every time I drive by the building: All hail Big Adventure! read more

First time there. The owner of the story was kinda of a jerk and wasn't very open to answer patron questions. The store also had the smell of unwashed gamer. I don't think I will be back. read more

They've just added a meet-up discussion group for comic and graphic novel lovers. It meets the last Saturday in the month at 2pm. Check it out of you're age 17-100. read more

Cool spot (and one of the only spots) for comics and M:TG in Santa Fe. Stopped in while passing through for some magic singles and boosters. Friendly staff, good selection of M:TG singles and sets. read more

I stopped in to check out this store, and ended up buying a new 52 Flash figure. It was marked $17.99, but when I got home I noticed they charged me $24.99 No biggie, I figure they will take care of it. So I call them, and they acted as if I was trying to rip THEM off. The guy that answered the phone could only muster up a faint "I don't know." All I was really looking for was maybe a store credit, as I was planning on picking up several more items. I highly recommend checking your receipt before you leave, as they had no interest at all in making it right. Keep my $7 Big Adventure Comics, you obviously need it more than I do. read more

I really enjoy coming here to purchase my comics. They are friendly and are knowledgeable. I would like to see them sell some old stuff and maybe more action figures. Over all a great place to be. read more

We love to go there. It has a great selection of graphic novels and Magic cards. I highly recommend it. Parking may be an issue, but it is a nice walk from the Violet Crown cinemas. Plus, you can get free stuff by showing your movie tickets. read more

We were visiting Santa Fe on vacation. I ran out of comics to read! The horror! This place had an enormous collection of graphic novels. Really enjoyed the staff. We went back a number of times over the course of the week. Will go back anytime I'm in Santa Fe! read more

This is the only comic book store I know that is on track with the new releases of issues! Throughout venturing comic books in Albuquerque, some of them are months behind, this is the only place that really keeps track on everything! Up to date with everything! Also, perfectly on time with new issues released!!! GREAT PLACE! I recommend!! read more

Big Adventure Comics (formerly True Believers, under a previous, less awesome owner) is a comic book store that has a brilliant selection of comic books and graphic novels, each for a reasonable price. Their selection is restocked relatively regularly. Big Adventure also sells Magic the Gathering cards from the three most recent expansions (Standard). The employees are big fans of comic books and Magic, so feel free to ask them any sort of question. They're very relaxed and very cool, the sort of people you want to talk to. Big Adventure is basically my favorite place in Santa Fe. It is the most awesome place you can find here. Why are you still reading this? Go to Big Adventure! read more

This comic shop is well organized and has a great abundance and selection of comic books, graphic novels, and all things nerdy, but the thing that really blew me away about this amazing, local-owned shop was the phenomenal customer service. The first time I went there, I had just been introduced to the comic book trend and didn't now much about stuff like rare issues, variant covers, and other important things vital to comic book shopping. I didn't even have to ask for assistance, as the clerk came up to me and introduced me to everything about the comics industry and then some and he even recommended some comics. The greatest thing about the staff is that they are comic book fans and not just bored college students, so you can have a intelligent conversation about comics with them. This is number one on my New Mexico comic shops hit list, and I think that it is the best comic store I've been to yet. read more

i like big adventure but the owner is very rude and does not care about the costumer very much, unless you're buying a comic book or you're over 17. anyone whom is young will be brushed off and sort of ignored the only reason i give it any stars is because of the other staff like Eduardo he is very hospitable and cares about the customers. read more
