They had already expanded their space at the old location once, and this new location continues on that path. The first floor has all of the gaming and comic products, while the second floor has the gaming space. Store has a pretty large selection of card and tabletop gaming items. New pull comic book selection is good, with longboxes mostly containing newer books. Graphic novels are spread across several bookshelves and the selection is good. They have a handful of other things like Pop Vinyls. Overall, Alchemist's Cove Games & Comics is arguably the best comic book shop for several surrounding counties outside of the Allentown metro area, and continues to grow. It's worth a stop when in the area.

Thank goodness for 4th Wall…read more The owners are all fantastic -- friendly, knowledgeable, and really know how to make their customers feel welcome and happy. The comics along the wall are newer (#1s are all the way toward the back of the store), and on the shelves you can find what you're looking for by imprint and then title. All the big names are there -- Marvel and DC -verse standards, Walking Dead, everything Brian K. Vaugh has ever done. Older issues are in $.50 boxes that are fun to dig through. If there's something you don't see, they're able to put in an order for you. We did that for a specific series my daughter was looking for (Phoebe and Her Unicorn), and we received a call a week or two later that it was ready for pick up. On one of our early visits, my daughter and I were having a conversation lamenting the lack of lead female characters that weren't just eye candy or a "girl" version of the something-something-"Man" version. She loves comics, but is still just an impressionable 9-year-old and isn't ready for some of the nuanced or complicated story lines, love trysts, and often over-sexualized imagery found in comics. Jared joined in our conversation and introduced us to Lumberjanes (which we adore), Smile, and Squirrel Girl. Since then, we've also found Silk, Princeless, Nimona, and Ms. Marvel. And I can't remember if it was him or Jim who introduced me to East of West, but his recommendation for me was just as spot-on as for my daughter. East of West is now one of my go-tos, along with Saga, Rat Queens, Papergirls (yes, yes, I'm an Image fan), Black Panther, etc. Find a series you like? Sign up for a subscription -- you can come pick your issues up at your convenience. Looking for more than just comics? There are tons of Funko pops (whole shelving section) and more high-end statuary (glass case at checkout) for the collectors, a small section for kid-appropriate (reasonably priced) comics, and all sorts of fun games along the wall opposite the new comics (board games, card games, D&D, etc.). The store has recently expanded, and now their gaming space is contained in a separate section, opening up more room in the "main" store for comic boxes and displays. If you're interested in gaming, check out their Facebook page or Instagram account. They're pretty active, and you'll find info on upcoming events.

They've been around forever, but the shop has a great selection of old and new publications. You can find all your monthlies here, create a pull pile, and browse the archives.

Prices are fair, and the archives are typically priced competitively. The service is always friendly and helpful. They've never messed up a pull pile for me and they'll always check to see if I need something ordered. Whenever I'm in the area I make it a point to stop back here and shop.

Most of the current and recent backlist comics and books are priced, but you may have to ask for a market price on some unticketed items. But the staff is helpful.
