In a past life, I lived with a comic book fiend, so I've been to my fair share of comic book…read morestores. Aw Yeah Comics is a great comic book store! It's way better than it needs to be, and the people of Muncie are lucky to have it. What I like about this store is that it feels very cozy. There are cramped hallways filled with comics, plus small rooms with bookshelves of graphic novels and action figures. It's a lovely feeling to be surrounded by so many stories and ideas. One of the rooms has a nice little chair at which to sit and read. Another room has toys and action figures and Funko Pop characters. A whole wall is dedicated just to Funko! It was oh-so quiet when I visited, which was nice because then I could just browse and look around without distractions. The people behind the counter were super friendly, and ready to answer questions or joke around -- it seemed like they were down for whatever. One of the things I love about this comic book store is that they have a designated section for young children, with comic book and graphic novel recommendations. Their recs were spot-on, too. A whole area dedicated to Raina Telgemeier? Heck yeah.

An absolutely wonderful hobby shop, and with an incredible and diverse selection! I've been coming…read morehere for years, and it really is one of the best FLGS I've been to. For the staff, it's a family-run business and they're all incredibly nice and personable. It's easy to talk to all of them and they're more than willing to help with special requests and orders. They also offer a 10% in-store credit reward system which is simple and quite generous too! In terms of location, while it's a bit off the beaten path, it's close enough to one of the main streets in tow (and another hobby shop) to not be an issue. Parking can be cramped on busy days, but that's to be expected. As far as product goes, there's a lot! Miniatures in particular are well-represented. All Games Workshop IPs are here (some more than others, but also including some boxsets that aren't available anymore) and they're always getting new product in for pre-orders. While they do sell them at GW retail price, their rewards program has let me get away (more than a few times) with getting a few boxes for free or for more than 50% discount. Dungeons and Dragons + Pathfinder minis are also available, as are Star Wars: Legion, BattleTech, and HeroClix, as well as more niche stuff, like Blood and Plunder. A fair selection for various card games, but also a generous and wide selection of board games as well! Lastly, there is also a selection of paints, primers, brushes, magnets, basing material, and other hobby tools that are readily available. As far as gaming space, the backroom has space to accommodate plenty of people and for different games. Plenty of tables to set up at, and a wide selection of terrain to make use of for wargaming. While I unfortunately cannot comment on the music section of the store, as I have not made use of its services, I can say that the gentleman who runs it is very respectful and helpful. Overall, a very worthwhile visit for hobbyists who want a wide selection of goods to peruse at an honest price from honest staff. This place means a lot to me, if you couldn't tell from the review lol

I sure hope a next comic shop will be my second favorite like Comic Carnival!

I waited about 10 minutes and he showed up. I was interested in an old recipe books for some artwork I was working on. I love old bookstores, especially ones like these where books are just stacked everywhere. I found what I was looking for here and the cost was very reasonable. I went up to pay and he also told me I could pick a bookmark that his girlfriend made to take home with me. Right up my alley. I looked around at some of the other book types and picked up a couple extra books I thought I would like. He definitely had a lot of interesting books, records, posters, etc. Also to note the parking lot that was behind the store had signs that the parking was only for some insurance company and you would be towed, I asked him about it and he said the building used to belong to an insurance company and yes it was the parking for the bookstore. I will be going back to check out other items as I did not have enough time this trip.

I was amazed at the amount of merchandise for Magic and Pokémon. After looking around for half an hour, I asked one of the employees if any of the cards behind the display cases were for sale, he had to price them out, but was willing to pull any out that interested me. I had him pull out my grail - an EX/NM 1st Edition Dark Charizard from Base Rocket and he gave me $50. I decided it was too good to pass up and he rang it up for me. The experience with the great prices and relaxed atmosphere will have me checking out the Mason location very soon.

If you like reading actual books and owning them, then stop by the Muncie Mall if you are in the area. This store is large enough to have its own outside entrance on the east side of the mall.

Poor Books a Million, how do you hang on?…read more When I first moved to Florida, I shopped at Books a Million because it was almost everywhere and Borders and Barnes & Noble weren't. The trouble was that they never seemed to discount anything and their savings card didn't seem to help, but cost me to have it. It seemed to be more for the Joe Muggs coffee shop inside the store and the trinkets at the cash register. This store is no different from the others. They have the magazines ("news stand") on one wall toward the outside of the store (the restrooms are near there) and Joe Muggs is at the mall entrance. The books and games, etc. are in-between the two. It's a compact store, but probably sufficient given the population and the likelihood that someone will actually buy. While I saw a few people working, no one bothered to say anything. The coffee shop was a lonely place, also, with only two customers. If it was Starbucks, they'd be having knock-down-drag-outs for seats. Nothing out of place for Books a Million. How do they stay in business?

The front of the store has a lot of paintball equipment and some gaming card packs. The rear left is set up for gaming tables. The rear right is set up for comics, a few comic related toys, and graphic novels. There are some boxes of old comics as well, but the collection is rather small. (I've seen larger collections at conventions.) The guy behind the counter was friendly and made sure to let me know to ask if I had any questions or needed assistance. The problem is that the inventory is on the small side compared to most comic shops I've been to and it could do with more wall displays promoting the new story lines that get collectors excited.
