Easily the best comic book shops in town, as well as one of the best I've ever been to! Even though…read morethere isn't a ton of floor space, they still manage to fit a very impressive library into their store. Also, they almost always have a great sale going on. Graphic novels are 20% off all the time, making this place perfect for collectors of tbps and graphic novels. The store really goes above and beyond with its other sales. Just this year I got in for 30% off everything in their back to school sale, as well as 50% off all the comics in their basement for the forth of July. One of the coolest and most unique things about this place is the fact that the owner cuts hair in the store. So for those that feel awkward getting their hair cut by strangers with nothing in common, this store provides a great opportunity to talk about shared fandoms with your barber.

Located in the UNI downtown area and near-ish to Sidecar Coffee and other bars, this is the newest…read morecomic book store to come into the area. However, be aware that that's exactly what it is: a comic book store. Many times, a comic book store will also have a lot of other nerd toys like gaming supplies, figurines, playing cards, and things like that. Limited Edition Comics isn't like that. They're a comic book store through-and-through. They have a very small selection of tabletop accessories for Star Trek and Star Wars games as well as a couple of board games to choose from, but that's about it. Everything else is comic books, and they definitely have a huge selection. As I'm not a comic book fan, but instead, I enjoy the "nerd supplies" like the figurines or tabletop accessories, this was a bit of a let-down. It's a pretty small store, and as far as I can tell, the playing tables are downstairs while the upstairs is the shopping area. Also, to add to the weirdness, the upstairs also seems to include a barber shop. There were people getting their hair cut while I came in. There were also a bunch of people having friendly conversations, so it seems like there's a group of people who probably come here regularly. Since they have tables and whatnot downstairs, I'm assuming they probably host local tabletop gaming or card game tournaments. Nothing was going on at the moment as far as I could see, but it did look like they had space downstairs. From the prices of items I compared to Amazon, their pricing is usually within $2 of what Amazon wants, so very fair pricing. Definitely worth purchasing locally. Wasn't greeted or really acknowledged while in the store. It's a pretty small store, so it felt a bit awkward to not be acknowledged, but it did allow me to browse in peace. No one was outwardly rude or giving me "the outsider!" looks, though, so it's possible that greeting customers is not usually within their usual procedure. Parking here is standard parking for a downtown-ish area. There is a small free parking lot down at the base of the hill of the street, but it's a small walk to get to the store. You also could park curb-side if you wanted to, but I didn't find it a problem to walk to the store instead. Final thoughts: If you love comic book stores, you'll probably enjoy Limited Edition Comics. It's a great comic book store, but don't expect a lot of the other "nerd toys" that usually come along with comic book stores. I probably won't come back, but that's mostly out of personal preference for something other than comic books. Not a bad store, though.

Built into The Nook is Reader's Cafe, a cute little cafe with second-floor tables and chairs to drink your coffee and read a book. (Subsequently, there's also a single bathroom in here too.) The Nook primarily focuses on the trending book niches right now. i.e. there's ton of space for mystery thrillers, romantasies, and romance books. There's a bit of space for other topics, but the bulk of the store focuses on that. Along with bookshelves, the rest of the store is dedicated to gifts that readers would enjoy. From notebooks to stickers to bookmarks and shirts and games and all sorts of stuff, there's all sorts of little gifts that were tempting me. Really, their gift selection is A+! All the books are pretty immaculate, and anywhere I saw a series, it was either the first book only OR the full series was available for purchase. I didn't see any of that nightmare where the only thing a store has for sale is book 2. I REALLY love their "staff recommendations". These are hand-written little signs taped onto shelves (about one sign per shelf?) with a book title and a short description and why the staff member loves and recommends the book. I saw a few books that piqued my interest beyond the cover design because of it. Prices are pricey. I feel bad about it. I really want to support a local bookstore, but at $12 to $30 a book (the latter being hardcover), it's really hard. I did pick up a few little gift items, though, that were really cute. If you show your receipt over at the Reader's Cafe, you get 10% off your coffee purchase (though I didn't get the chance to coffee that day!)

Everything is really clearly and nicely organized, and it was ridiculously easy to find exactly what I wanted. Attached to here is a large room (looks like they bought out the store next to this store in the strip mall) with lots of newer tables and chairs for game nights. Looks like Dark Vassal Gaming focuses pretty heavily on trading card games and trading card game accessories. I didn't see any board games or figurines or D&D stuff. While they were already sold out of the set we were looking for, the employee was super friendly and helpful and had a very extroverted personality. We ended up finding a different set we hadn't seen before, and we left feeling a bit jealous that this wasn't a place that existed a couple years earlier when I lived in the city. Everything we were browsing seemed to be sold at or pretty close to MSRP. Didn't see any price gouging.
