This was my first time at a comic book store! I am now..... obsessed! I ended up getting a manga and an Inuyasha funko pop to add to my collection! Now I want to check out every comic book store to look for more Inuyasha and Demon Slayer Funko Pop! It also felt nice reading manga again. There's an abundance of books and obviously comics here. This was very impromptu, but I'm so happy I stopped by. The guy at the register was cool and quiet. The books are a very good price. If I didn't live so far, I'd go right back tomorrow! I look forward to stopping by the next time I'm in Buford. read more

See all

I had a disappointing experience here. The owner tried to sell me a card that had visible damage while pricing it close to full market value. I wasn't comfortable paying that price for the condition, so I declined and stepped away to call a friend for a second opinion mind you i was about to spend $600 and was new to collecting cards. When I came back, the owner became rude and told me that because I had left and returned, he was no longer willing to negotiate. I was prepared to spend around $600 on the card if we could agree on a fair price, but instead I felt like I was treated unfairly and dismissed as a customer. read more

Great selection of comics and nerd culture. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere has always been welcoming. The items are priced reasonably. read more

A very convenient shop close to home! I was off today and decided to venture around and stumbled upon the shop. Upon walking in I was greeted by the owner who was very kind and attentive to all of the customers that were in there. Everything was pretty organized, new comics were in the front and they had a nice space for back issue comics and manga. I didn't give myself a ton of time to walk around and look as much as I wanted to as I was in a rush. I did end up picking up some older comics and was excited to get some pretty cool variants. The price was great for the 3 comics I got. I had a nice convo with the owner before I left and I will definitely be back soon! read more

This has been my go-to local comic shop for the last 15 yrs. Jason, who normally works the front desk is very helpful and knows his stuff. They have a huge selection of back issue comics, typically at 50% off. They also have a great selection of new titles and recent issues. In addition to comics and graphic novels they can meet all of you roll playing and board gaming needs. Definitely worth a drop in to check them out when you are in the area. read more

top of line quality care and concern for customers kyle is awesome and friendly protetective and knowledgeable a real fan of his job i believe read more

This place is awesome. I am new to comics and prior to visiting GQ - Buford, I had no idea where to start. They were so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! Jason recommended lots of different comics based on my interests. He also informed me about setting up a subscription at the location, which I have done and am excited about. 10/10 would definitely recommend going here :) read more

I used to be able to come here like 2 years ago and buy all kinds of comics that I liked, but as of right now it just seems like they are slaking in MANY areas. I was coming here hoping to get some new comics that should have been available for me as an in person customer. Instead they have all of them behind the counter in containers (or set aside for certain people) for the people who called ahead to preorder them online. I know it's first come, first serve but I still should be able to walk in an buy a book that I've been hoping to get. Did I also mention everything is overpriced? Like I get they are trying to make a profit, but all the variants are $30 more then the regular comic itself, seriously, they released at the same time and have the same cover price, like what? Last thing, they literally had 1 person working there on this particular day and he wasn't helpful, not rude, just not helpful at all. I would come again, but the past two times I've come here in the past 2 weeks and finding absolutely nothing I was looking for and because everything I did buy was overpriced, just makes me want to find a different shop to buy my comics at. Hopefully they get their act together and maybe one day I'll be able to enjoy coming here again. read more

Scored 2 very out of print trade paperbacks... Batman Legacy Vol 2 and Power Girl. SCORE!!!! This store has a large selection of floppies, toys, games and more. Check em out. read more

Great selection of comics from DC, and Marvel to indie. I've visited three times and continue to find hidden gems.

Great selection, low prices, witty, intelligent handsome counter staff. Reliable sub service. They bag and board your comics and don't charge extra for the service. Nobody else in the city comes close to GQ. read more

I love this store! I hadn't read comics since I was kid and wanted to introduce my 3 year old (3rd generation nerd in the making!) to them. He watches Teen Titans Go so transitioning to the comic (and promoting those early reading skills) seemed fitting. I was pleasantly surprised with their selection and they even have a kids comic section with age appropriate titles. The folks who work there are AWESOME!! They once went through all of the TTG paperbacks available and ordered them right there, for my son. They remembered me when I came back, and had all of them set aside, ready for me when I walked through the door. Having read a lot of the major comics (Marvel & DC), I've been getting into indies and they always have awesome recommendations (thanks for the Paper Girls suggestion Mickey!) All and all, if you're into comics or wanting to get into them, this is the store for you! read more

Great selection of comics and trades. They have a lot of toys and games as well. It sits off the road a bit (behind a car dealership), so make sure you know how to get there! Friendly staff! :) read more

Galactic Quest is such a great store! The open layout feels spacious and there is awesome comic art to look at all over the walls. They have almost anything you could just wander in and want, and they will also get anything you need through their pull and hold. I have gotten variants from them that would have run over 20 dollars at Oxford, for less than 10 dollars at Galactic. They also sell toys, in which I hit the jackpot frequently and, once with a Coast to Coast toy still in the package for 50 dollars cheaper than it is going for online! Their back issues are well taken care of and they have a great little manga section where I have found things you never see in stores anymore! Also they carry a couple cool figures at all times, so be sure to look for those! The workers are friendly and reasonable on prices and they genuinely like talking about comics and even just.. well anything in general! It's always a pleasure to strike up conversation with them. If you're in the area and like comics in any way, this store is a MUST. read more

Awesome shop, great selection of comics, games and collectibles. Excellent customer service!

A good, friendly, knowledgeable comic book shop is a rare thing. I started reading comics around the infamous Death of Superman (Superman vol. 2, #75) and luckily there was a great shop close by that would gladly let me burn my money on the mid-90's over produced garbage comics i loved so much as well as inexpensive stuff from the 1970's and 80's that i really couldn't appreciate at the time. Then around 2000 the closed up shop and so i quit buying and reading comics for a long long time. When i moved up to Suwanee last year i noticed something while out on a drive one night. A beacon in the darkness, over the hill from the Ace Hardware. One simple word that called to me.....COMICS. The seed grew in my brain, could there be.... no. Probably a mirage. I saw it again a few nights later, i though, how in the world do you get back there. I explored around that dark block until i finally found my answer and i'm very glad i did. So a year and hundreds, no wait, thousands of dollars later Galactic Quest as filled a void i didn't know existed. Sean at Buford and Jamie in Lawrenceville have recommended some great titles and i'm slowly catching up on what i missed my 14 years hiatus. I'm not sure where this review was going, i'm starting to ramble. If you like comics, want to like comics, like games and toys, saw Avengers and want more of that, go to GC and buy stuff. They're good people. read more

My wife and I live in Athens, and we've been to game and comic shops all over the state of GA. We have two of our own game shops in town and two comic shops as well, but rarely are we able to find a store that caters to both my love of games and her love of comics. In that respect, Galactic Quest is as good as it gets. It is easily worth the 1+ hour drive from Athens, so if you're closer than that, it's a no brainer for all your trading card game, board game, collectible, and comic book/graphic novel needs. The times I've been, Sean, the manager, has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome, answer my questions, and get me set up with the my new Weiss Schwarz addiction. My wife was able to find the 10th Doctor and TARDIS Funko Pop figures that she's been searching for for years now. And we've barely scratched the surface of what Galactic Quest has to offer. For a clean, well organized shop that caters to ALL your geeky needs, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff, and game nights hosted weekly, you really should give Galactic Quest a look. Thanks, guys! read more

A great independent comic shop. Tons of toys, comics (of course) and sale items. Good prices and friendly staff. Check it out!

I have been to over 10 comic books stores in Georgia and this is one of the two stores that made me feel welcomed. The older gentlemen that helped me was really helpful and friendly. I will definitely be returning back to this comic book store. read more

Great store! Tons of comics and games to choose from along with action figures and clothing. :) Great, friendly staff! Every Friday night is Magic: The Gathering night with affordable tournaments and tons of people around to game! read more

Every time we come in, we're met with a fantastic staff! Thanks to Shawn*, I have never seen his name written down, I have picked up some great series. He notes that I prefer collected editions and graphic novels to individual books, gives me extremely fair trades, and is genuinely fun to talk to and always keeps me up to date on my authors! He is just fantastic. He even lends a sympathetic ear when I come in all cranky because this store is my refuge. The selection is fantastic. The space is huge. Anything I want, within reason, can be ordered. LOVE this store! read more
