This was the second stop on my child's mission to visit every place with comics, anime, and merch,…read moreand we're so glad we stopped by Victory Comics in Falls Church. The shop was well organized and had so much more than just comics -- from building models to artwork by local artists. It also feels like a real community space, hosting events and meetups on different nights, which makes it even more special. My child absolutely fell in love with this place, and honestly, so did I. We'll definitely be back! Staff was nice and helpful and very well organized!

I recently visited the Gathering Grounds coffee shop in University Mall - and noticed the sign for…read more"The Amazing Comic Shop," so, as I check out all comic and gaming stores - I knew I had to come back and check it out. It's located in an alley way of sorts - behind Gathering Grounds and other shops directly facing the front parking lot. The first thing you notice walking in - is the super cool, close-to-life size Silver Surfer! I need one of those in my house! Tons of comics, a small amount of Dungeons & Dragons books, and some Funko Pops and other figurines. I bought an Avengers comic collection. Service was good, paid with Apple Pay. #TheAmazingComicShop

My family and I stopped by after having a fro-yo date next door and were BLOWN AWAY by how massive…read morethis store was...it truly was a collector's paradise! I had always thought the store was more geared towards sports memorabilia but there truly is a little something for everyone here. My children were enamored by their large Pokemon collection, my husband loved all the vintage comic books, and for me there was a section with old records to browse through. We easily blew through an hour looking at everything in the store and let me tell you... my children are not patient people. By the end of our visit we had to pick up some items to help build up my pre-schooler's budding Pokemon collection and something for big sis too. Staff was friendly and store was very well organized.

Awesome shop! Lots of good inventory. Reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. Will comeback again!read more

Stopped in looking for some heat relief during the Asian on Main festival and left a fan!…read more The store hosts a variety of board games for both children and adults, kawaii gifts, cards (the Pokemon card section absolutely captivated my daughters), and more! An entire half of the restaurant was sectioned off for gaming and I saw a bunch of people sitting down and having fun. Their proximity to GMU makes this a great place to build local community. Snacks are available (thanks for the $1 water!!!) and they have clean bathrooms. Everyone was super friendly and now I have a whole list of new games I want to purchase.

This is not the most convenient store to me, but I'll keep coming as they are one of the few gaming…read moreshops that hasn't become a scalper. Many others in the area will buy card games from the manufacturer then sell at inflated prices to squeeze all value out of a set. Pair o Dice doesn't do this and it's quite admirable. For example, earlier today, I went to two closer stores and was told a box of Avatar MTG cards was over $210 ($174 on Amazon) then I went to Pair o' Dice and bought it at $180. I'll gladly support a local gaming shop that supports their customers and doesn't see us as sponges to squeeze. Good job, Pair o Dice. I will be back.

I'm a calligrapher, and I cannot walk past a Paper Source without stopping in…read more I love that this store is HUGE. It's spread out, so you're not cramped and you don't have to worry about accidentally knocking something over because you turned around too quickly. I really appreciated that the paper bar was fully stocked. The Paper Sources I usually frequent don't have as many color and shape options.

They have some unique ornaments, as well as some giftable items. They have ladies in the store who are ready to wrap your gift for you. I liked the selection of gift wrap available, they are high quality and sorted by colors. I wasn't impressed by most of anything else in this store. Everything is overpriced and can be found at other retailers for a lesser cost. The sales associates were very welcoming and friendly.

Basically, about 3 or 4 dozen dealers/stores setting up tables to sell their wares. Entrance is $3. I go because usually at least a few dealers are always trying to reduce their inventory or warehouse space, and are selling pretty good stuff at fifty cents or a dollar an issue. Of course, there are dealers selling higher end stuff and comic book-related merchandise (e.g. action figures, statues) if that's your thing. Sometimes they have a guest (e.g. comic book writer or artist).

He was very helpful and pleasant to be around. Much of the books are in the Korean Language, but there are many books that have both English and Korean writing. I saw comic books with Asian spreading the word of God, but doing it in a way kids through adults can understand. Oh, did I mention Hello Kitty too? Hello Kitty watches, dishwasher sets and even a sleeping bag to name a few things. If business doesn't get better for the owner here, I eventually will end up closing the store forever. The owner does sell jewelry too. Especially if you are into holly crosses. There maybe something in here for you. Seek and you shall find...

Now it's a Korean establishment with books exclusively in Korean so if you are not fluent, you will be a fish out of water.

The owners are extremely kind as well and provide excellent service if you can adequately request it in our native language.
