Gateway Comics and Toys is one of the largest comic book and toy stores I've ever seen. They are…read morelocated in the back of the plaza, look for the space with the signage of "Comics." Gateway literally has just about everything the comic or toy collector would desire. Staff were excellent during our visit and were very helpful. The selection is extensive of new and retro Star Trek, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Masters of the Universe toys. Some items are kept behind counters and glass cases. Loose figurines are available without original packaging. Pop Vinyl selection was large. If they don't have the item you're looking for, other stores will not have it either. They don't do much with video games, however. What is preventing me from ending this review with five stars? Prices at Gateway Comics and Toys are top dollar and almost all items are priced well above market. The comic book section was also unusual. The new pull selection was huge, but I was having trouble following their organizational system. Dollar books were rough even for dollar books. Long boxes with books priced at $3 and back issues priced as marked were above market. They also have graphic novels and wall books are kept behind the front counter. Would I tell you come here? Absolutely. This place is an experience with the only comparable store I've seen being a New Dimension Comics location in Western Pennsylvania. They have more than some small comic/toy shows. You however are going to pay top dollar here.

I had always thought the store was more geared towards sports memorabilia but there truly is a little something for everyone here. My children were enamored by their large Pokemon collection, my husband loved all the vintage comic books, and for me there was a section with old records to browse through. We easily blew through an hour looking at everything in the store and let me tell you... my children are not patient people. By the end of our visit we had to pick up some items to help build up my pre-schooler's budding Pokemon collection and something for big sis too. Staff was friendly and store was very well organized.

Nice selection of comics, graphic novels, anime, funko-pops etc. Not a huge selection of back issues (no $1 Bins) that I saw. Overall, a nice Comic Shop worth checking out.

I asked if they would come down to market price and was told they never come down on price Needless to say I walked out and hit buy from TCG on my phone.

Shop is extremely well rounded and has most items you could want in a comics and toy shop. Had a good selection of new pull comic books, wall books located behind the counter, and dollar boxes, but was more limited with other comic back issues. They also had a reasonable selection of Manga. Retro toy selection here is very strong with a large selection of in box toys and loose figures. Many of the higher end retro toys are located on shelves near the ceiling, with the G.I. Joe selection during our visit being good. A few arcade machines were in the back. Staff were cool to chat with and the shop was busy the entire time I was there. This is a perfect example of what a standard comic and toy shop should be. Tosche Station is absolutely worth a visit. If you have time, also check out the second location in Centreville, which has an even larger selection of Retro Toys, and more comic books.

My fav manga store!! They have such a large selection of manga it's overwhelming! So many old and…read morecool finds while brand new and hard to find ones as well! You need to be wary of if the store is attending an anime convention, as they visit major conventions across the country and take almost all of their manga supply with them. I would suggest checking in with the store before going and getting unlucky with all their manga being gone. (It's happened to me before lol) I will say the help isn't the best at times, as they frequently do sorting and rearranging of inventory, but when not busy, all of the staff are very nice and will helpfully explain anything to you!! The location is a little uncomfortable, but it's not too bad and there is a really good restaurant next door! Also need to clarify: they don't only sell manga, they have a large variety of things like anime merchandise, art books, cds and dvds, posters, plushies, and lots of gaming/ trading cards!

Right off the bat, the heavy set man with the mullet was rushing his sales person to hurry and serve us because they were doing inventory. Then when my wife was browsing the manga section, He stopped everybody else from working and said "She's back here." Not sure what that meant but I wasn't happy with it. If it wasn't for how nice the sales person was, I would have walked out and not spent the $300 plus I spent that day. Needless to say I will NOT be visiting them again.

More specifically, this store has people that apparently love comics. Don't get them started. Really... don't get them started. They will tell you more than you ever needed. Nah... Get them started, you'll probably end up finding something else you want to read or collect. They explained how to read the sku to identify the different releases and where this particular one falls. If it's the original or a variant. How to find missing volumes. I started specifically because of Sam Wilson: Captain America movie release so that's that I started on. I didn't know it would be such a short ride. However, they have been helping me catch up on Luke Cage so that's what I'm reading this summer :-). The odd thing is, I've only seen 2 kids in here. Ever time I go in, there are nothing but full grown adults looking for their own literary magic. IDK if they don't have kids or if they just said ... them kids. It's a great place for me time.

Every time we've been in, the staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. We started coming here when I brought my little guy in over a year ago when he started collecting pokemon cards, and they always slip a few extra cards in his bag. It was his birthday today and the owner saw him looking at magic cards and asked him if he was interested in learning. My little guy said he was, and so he reached behind the counter and got us a couple of starter decks and some extra cards because he said that he wants to encourage anyone who wants to learn how to play. It's just the kind of interaction that sets a comic book shop apart and it made a real impression on us. If you're in Manassas (heck even if you're not!) swing by Keep It Strange and support your local comic shop! Thanks for keeping it kind Keeping It Strange!

A quick search on the interwebs indicated the store had moved to a new location on the other side of Manassas. So off I went! The new location feels quite a bit large on the inside.

I bought a set of mini D&D dice to commemorate my visit to the new location. Paid with Apple Pay. #KeepItStrangeComicsAndCollectibles
