I loved that the inside had a dedicated gaming area for people to come and enjoy with friends of family. There were at least three groups playing games when I visited.

I didn't know where to start and I think I stood out because the store owner himself asked if I needed any help, very nice of him. I knew what I wanted just didn't know where to start, but he ended up finding all the comics I was looking for. I don't truly know the value of comic books since I'm a beginner, but to me the books I got we worth every cent. I was more than happy with what I got and I will definitely be coming back to get the other books I wasn't able to get today. I spent less than $80 for a bunch of books. Now I have to get cases.

Shopping for a very specific anime gift for a teen friend I knew I went to the right place when Mr. Wayne himself gave me a very detailed tour of his wares.
