    We were driving by and my son saw the giant action figures on the windows. I was forced to stop by. My sons both loved this place. There is so much so it can be a little overwhelming. We spend an hour in there. There was a section where kids could play games or trade cards. They had a lot of cute things for girls too. The selection was beyond great here.

    Probably not safe to play in public

    What a great game store (and more)!! Ally and I just went in to pick up a game for date night, and we walked out with two great games. There are so so so many board games, and the staff are super helpful and fun. Grant and Josh walked the store with us to point out their favorites and gave great advice. We can't wait to play our new games! Also, they have tables in the store in case you want to play with others in the store. Awesome shop!!

    This is a very large comics store and they have gaming stuff too. I took a bit to browse through the very discounted boxes and spotted something cool and interesting. I had no idea that there was a "The Prisoner" series of comics and so I got one of them. It's hard to say no to a 50 cent comic book that's in very good condition and already in the proper board and bag. Other comics on tables and on the walls and pretty much everywhere. Lots of them! Gaming and a gaming table area set aside behind shelving to keep the distractions to a minimum. Neat shop, very tidy, huge selection. I'm impressed! [Review 11244 overall, 1020 of 2019.]

    This is my favorite comic book store in Southwest Michigan. Their selection of games, alone, is impressive and worth the trip. They have a gaming area for Dungeons and Dragons, they participate in Free Comic Day. The staff is helpful and friendly. If you are looking for something, they will help you find it. If they don't have it, they will track it down for you. They have a decent selection of Funko if you collect those. They also have special items behind the glass case worth checking out. Oddly, they have an amazing selection of snacks and beverages, too!

    Well let's see here, this place is my home away from home. I'm a bit of a nerd. I love comic books, like to much! I'm a flash girl myself, they have everything you can imagine AND MORE ! Action figures, baseball, football and Pokémon cards. Amazing statues of super hero's! They have game nights too, you can bring your cards and whatever you need to play ! Tables set up, you can trade cards, meet tons of people and leave with great friends! They have tons of cool pop figures, board games you'd never find anywhere else! From Superman, the flash, Archie and jughead, Batman, X-men, supergirl, Wonder Woman, the waking dead. You name it they have it !

    Both my husband and I have been going here for years. He's been going longer because he lived in Portage for longer than I have. However, I have been to my fair share of comic book stores and theirs is one of the largest, well lit and clean. They dont just sell comics either. You can find all sorts of collectibles there as well. Dont forget their gaming area either. Best comic book shop I've been to.

    It's had a steady presence for decades, and I cannot estimate the number of comics that I have purchased there. I cannot think of another retailer in Michigan that can compare.

If you bring in their flyer you receive $2 off your purchase which is a great way to get people in the door. They not only sell all the nerdy things, but you can sell to them as well. The walls of Rabbit Hole Comics are lined with beautiful posters and most of them are for sale (a few aren't but they don't have prices on them so that should have been my clue before asking). They also have a large selection of action figures, stuffed animals, movies on dvd as well as VHS, toys, kids books that sorta teeter on being comics (like Captain Underpants or Dog Man), and trading cards. As far as the Comics go, I feel like I could have sifted through the box's for at least two hours. I loved being able to look around and enjou myself on a day like today. My husband did end up not only selling some items to the shop but also ended up picking some stuff up in a "instead of cash, I want this item for what I sold" type of deal. I can see us coming back to this store frequently, even if I am only tagging along to say hello to the two adorable puppers in the store.

You can order things from their site to get sent to your home or the store and it even has a wishlist feature so they can let you know when they get something in stock! My husband was giddy- "Ace, look! I can shop from my computer!" So, if you have a nerdy significant other, stop into the store or check out their online shop to give your love an amazing gift, maybe a Valentine's gift. Hopefully you'll love it as much as my husband and I did.

    Have you been to Green Light yet? It's in a small, unassuming strip mall (slightly overshadowed by…read morethe liquor store next door, but once you have been to Green Light, you won't even notice the neighbors any more, so intent are you on getting INSIDE!), with plenty of ample parking. Inside, you'll find new and used records, tapes, and cds. (I mean, of course!) The walls are covered with interesting new releases and rare recordings. The bins are a joy to peruse, especially the 45s. Larger musicians have their own tabs, otherwise it is alphabetical. You'll find much here that you'll love, but it will also be hard to stay on budget. Luckily, they have a frequent buyer card (in $5 increments). Our favorite part is digging through the 45s. It's a trip down memory lane, with laughter galore. I cannot believe the 80s fashion that ended up on record sleeves (I know, I wore it myself, but not in such a...memorable way). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The music playing is especially interesting. And, although we haven't done it yet, they do purchase music from customers (hence the enormous selection of records for us to discover treasures within!). Previously, my favorite record store was Electric Fetus in Minneapolis. This has definitely replaced it, both for warmth and service. Go!

'Frogs', my favorite animal has a movie starring Sam Elliot for $2.99? Yes please. The employee was pretty laid back but also helpful. We were greeted when we came in and asked us if we needed anything. When checking out he told us about their stamp program where get a stamp every $5 you spend and eventually get something. So glad we stopped and will be back to find more treasures.
