There's a little of something for everyone here. I usually see the same staff faces and they're always helpful and welcoming. If you're a collector at any level, definitely stop by.

This shop is AMAZING! I stopped by here while tooling around shops in the west and northwest burbs,…read moreand I was astonished by the selection of newer back issues. These guys had prints that I haven't been able to locate at other shops, and everything was extremely well organized. Books were in great condition, and the staff were so kind and helpful. Very much a "reader's" comic shop, but they have tables set up for your D&D game or Magic or really whatever your fancy is. Best of all, the prices are fair, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better value in the area. I'll definitely be back. I would die for more time to dig through their back issues.

I wanted to like this place -- the location is nice and most of the staff were friendly and…read morehelpful. Unfortunately, several experiences left me really disappointed. First, their store credit policy makes no sense: you can't use it on "premium" items, which defeats the purpose of having store credit at all. On top of that, when I sold them some premium Magic: The Gathering cards, the prices I was given were for the wrong versions. Because I had my three kids with me at the time, I didn't notice until later, but it felt dishonest and not worth the argument. What bothered me most, though, was how they treated me as a newer customer. I stood waiting for about 15 minutes with my kids while staff ignored me to casually chat and eat with tournament patrons who weren't even doing business at the time. They had recognized me, but still dismissed me while I was clearly trying to complete a transaction. It made me feel like my time -- and my business -- weren't valued. Most of the staff were nice, but the older bald gentleman was rude and dismissive, which really stood out. Between the poor credit rules, the card pricing issue, and the way I was treated as a customer, I can't recommend Thunder Comics. If they want to encourage more sales and playtime in their store, they should focus more on being fair, welcoming, and attentive -- especially to new customers

I visited the St. Charles store and it was an amazing experience! I don't recall the name of the…read moregentleman who was there, but he gave the utmost in customer service. I first called the store asking about a couple of issues I was looking for. He had one of the two and immediately offered to hold it for me until I could stop by. I went with my wife and 4 year old son, and knowing from other comic store visits how younger kids can be viewed at times, was pleasantly surprised. The person at the store was friendly, courteous, didn't give my son the "eagle's eye" while we were there, and when my son (AND wife) had questions about a couple of character statues, he nicely explained who they were. I hope someone can tell the associate and/or owner at that location what a great welcome they provided for us. Back in the day when I was living in Chicago, I used to go to the Variety and Moondog's, both long since closed down. These days I mostly confine myself to ordering teh odd issue online - after my first visit to a Graham Cracker store, I will definitely go back!

They run a constant stream of TCG - Trading Card Games and while some of the players play in offical tournaments, you can still have lots of fun and the other players don't mind helping you and answering questions to help improve your game play and deck (but you may have to wait until the game ends!) D&D organized play goes on during the week and some weekends and amazingly is still FREE, even though the store is providing you with the space to play. The only reason I give them 4 stars is because I wish they would have a larger inventory of Role Playing Games (like D&D) but until more people are buying these products I understand that they cannot increase their inventory. Some of the Products sold: 1. D&D, Burning Wheel, Traveller, GammaWorld, Pathfinder, 2. Specialized board games that you cannot find in normal stores 3. TCG, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, EDH/Commander, Pokemon, 4. Miniatures: Warhammer 40K, Star Wars: X-Wing, Infinity, Mars Attacks, Relic Knights, Imperial Assault 5. Comic Books 6. Dice, some miniatures for D&D and RPG's. and much, much more! Best of all, when the original store was going to close and there were no other gaming stores within 20 miles, Bear purchased the store, kept it open and gave us all a place to play for 5 years and running now. That alone causes me to be a loyal NGiT follower! Also, I help run the D&D Encounters and D&D Expeditions games at the store.

As a…read morePlainfield citizen, I've been going to Graham Crackers' Plainfield location every so often for 4 years or so, and every visit has been wonderful. There is not only a unique selection of comics and graphic novels you can choose from, but there is also Funko Pops, mystery blind boxes, posters, and anything else you can think of. Overall, I highly recommend this place to those who live in Plainfield and who love comics. I hope this place never closes down.

I've been to most the Graham Crackers in Illinois and bought from every single one, usually finding something while digging. Even in the $1 bin I've found things at ALL Graham Crackers EXPECT here. I just can never seem to find any deals or anything not overpriced, which is a regular theme of ALL Graham Crackers, but if you're saavy you usually can find something, BUT not here. Still, a nice setup to check out, AND it's right next door to a record store that's out of this world! This is like other Graham Crackers, no deals pretty much anywhere to be found.

There was one occasion where I was mailed a title I never signed up for along with one I had cancelled. I called in and they put a credit on my account to go towards my next mailing. Customer service is definitely awesome here. Aside from that, they even sent me some goodies from their Halloween sale event in my last mailing! Definitely a great store.
