Since 2012 I have been regularly coming here for comics and more. I have come to know the staff and developed a high appreciation for their service. They all go the extra mile to make sure you find what you need. If the book is not in store they will order it from another store location or outside source. If you're hankering for something to read but don't know what, they are more than happy to give recommendations and if you're a regular they start to learn your personal tastes and will show you something they think you'll like without your asking. I have seen some customers underestimate the knowledge of the female staff which is a mistake on their part as all the employees are well versed on their products. I can't imagine going anywhere else for comics. read more

Super super cute little shop! Traveling and needed a deck box and sleeves and the service was really wonderful. Also, they had a Kingdom Heart song playing in the background and just really made me feel happy! They have plenty of comics and TCG and definitely seems like a good spot! They also have Thursday night Magic I wished I could have stayed for! read more

I've visited this location a few times and I didn't enjoy it. I found the management at this location very rude. I started ordering online instead read more

My FAVORITE comic book store!! Fun and knowledgeable staff who greet regulars by name. They are always ready with suggestions and recommendations. read more

This place has a very large selection of board games, trading cards, and more! The employees were very helpful and answered all of our questions. I can't wait to check this place out again! read more

Fantasy Shop - Comic Books Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Enthusiastic and helpful from the moment I stepped over the threshold. I was just curious as to what a store called The Fantasy Shop sold and thought I'd take a peek. A friend of mine loves Wonder Woman so I asked if they had any Wonder Woman collectibles or decorative things. Well, no, but the two young guys there tried their best to find anything Wonder Woman-related that might fit the bill. Nonetheless, the place is large, clean, and well organized and, obviously, service is very attentive. read more

I took my daughter in to learn about different comics and graphic novels, and for her to check out her favorite superheroes. Jason the member on duty at the time took the time to talk with my shy daughter to find out which characters were her favorite and then talked with her about where she should join a timeline for each of the superheroes she liked and made age appropriate discussion about how fit in the particular universe of the character. He also suggested material that fit her budget but would be entertaining and said the next time he could talk to her about each of she had favorite parts. Big thank you to Jason for engaging with us and help a parent who was out of the comic shop for a long time. We will be putting this store as our destination for future comics. read more

I've been shopping here weekly for a few months and every single time has been a delight. The employees go above and beyond to make sure I find what I'm looking for. I brought a friend in with me who was interested in comics but had never really read any. The manager Scott ended up giving them a bunch of copies from the Free Comic Book Day stock, and I'm happy to say my friend fell in love with the hobby and has been collecting ever since. The store is very welcoming and inclusive, and is genuinely a delight to shop at. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Have been going here since 2011 always amazing. I highly recommend if you are into magic the gathering or Table top Rpgs.

Where to start.. this comic book shop is always helpful!! They are so nice at every location and always have one or two hidden gems in each store I've found for my own collection! Hands down a must go comic book shop for anyone of any age! read more

Just moved into the area and went over there for the 1st time last week. Small store, but friendly and knowledgable staff. They didn't have what I wanted (which was a little old), but immediately checked to see if it was available for order. It was and they ordered it for me. Best thing for me is that a related title came out this week and they set it aside for me, completely unprompted and I will get both when the order comes in. My husband was able to talk games with the guy as well while we browsed; they know their stock pretty well. While we will undoubtedly go to one of their other locations at some point, that will be more for inventory reasons--bigger store=bigger backstock/more back issues Only 4 stars because I just started going there, but it's a heck of a 1st impression! read more

This Fantasy Shop location has the best merchandise and comic book selection I've seen. The only thing that trumps the stock is that Scott (the manager) and his staff are always the friendliest and most knowledgable clerks that one could ask for. With writer signings and special events, they go out of their way to make the Fantasy Shop not just a retail store, but a social and creative experience for its customers as well. I can't help but stop by every Wednesday after work for new releases. It's a great environment in terms of customer base too, and you can always get a good conversation and laugh in when visiting. A great place for comic book fans of all ages. read more

I have been going to this comic shop for about 6 months now since it is the closet one for me since the other comic shop out in Ballwin on Manchester closed. The people who work here are great and take the time to help with any questions customers have and are very friendly. If you are wanting to get into comics they have a neat display with the employees top picks for the week. Not only do they sell comics but they also sell a good variety of board/card/games and superhero memorabilia. I have been to star clipper in the loop, which has a good variety of comics, the customer service and friendliness just isn't up to par with The Fantasy Shop. read more

I know I've already reviewed a Fantasy Shop that's closest to me.. But I just have to let everyone know that merch-wise, this is the shop to go to. The store is the nicest out of all of them. And I've found more of my prized variants here than anywhere else. The back of the store literally is just variants upon variants. The graphic novel selection is even huge and the staff is laid back. A must for anyone in need of their weekly comic haul. read more

Since my last less-than-positive review I have actually been back to this location a number of times due to having started at a position of employment not far from here. In the process of coming back the one gentleman I discuss whom bothers me is sometimes there being his usual standoffish self, but I have been lucky enough to also encounter other quite stellar employees who make me feel welcome at the shop. It goes to show that the people who work in a store are as important as the items that are sold. I will continue to stop by here on occasion and will avoid the employee who irritates me for all the ones who are awesome. read more

Very clean and organized store and very helpful employees. They always go the extra mile to help customers. Best selection of new Valiant comics in the area. Since I am a big fan of the new Valiant stuff I will choose this shop over all others. read more

The guys in here always provide fabulous help in picking out my next graphic novel series to read. I have a good time talking to them and always come away trying to figure out when I can get back to the store. read more

This is not my local comic shop. I stopped by one afternoon to kill some time before a Cards game (we won 6-2 against the Braves). This a good shop. I was greeted courteously when I came in. The shop was clean and clearly organized. When I asked about the reading order of a couple of titles spinning out of Age of Ultron I got a helpful friendly answer. The gentleman behind the counter (Scott, I believe) helped my girlfriend pick out some gamer-geek goodies for her son. We talked some Midwest cons and other good shops around the area. This is what a comic shop should be. Hell, this is what every store should be. read more

Quickly becoming my girlfriend and I's favorite place to get our comic book fix. They don't always have everything, but they have A LOT. It's tempting to take too much home sometimes. Everyone is very friendly there. We'll be back many times in the near future. read more

Just a great store for comics and games. Love the super-friendly staff (not to mention it's convenient location right next to Jimmy John's), the great selection and the vibe... And! If they don't have what you are looking for, they can check with their other locations and get it for you. Nice! read more
