For a non comic person this has been my favorite so far. The store is large and bright with very kind staff and owners. They offer a frequent customer card, you get stamp for every $10 you spend and after ten stamps you get $5 off. Today was the day we got a wolverine comic for free ! My husband was thrilled. My daughter said she liked all the pokemon cards there

And the best thing is that they are cataloged by years, alphabetically, genres. So easy to go throw. Unlike when you go to an antique store. You'll still need a hour or two to go through everything they have.

It's a smaller shop but it's got a ton of good stuff packed in. We looked through the vinyls as we have a friend who has a record player and debated a couple of options, but didn't end up leaving with anything cause we just weren't sure what she already had. Overall: A+ Great vinyl shop with plenty to offer. Pop in and grab something new for your music collection!

Great selection of back issues, few for current, not many toys…read more This shop has some of that "classic" comic shop feel. Tons of long boxes for back issues that are well organized and spread out on tables throughout the shop's sections. Having grown up with comic shops in the 80's, this was a bit of a throw back. None of the trendy, hipster appeal. Just good ol' comic stuff everywhere. If you're a bargain hunter, this place isn't bad. They had several $1 boxes to loot through. The other back issues are decently priced and you can buy full runs at reasonable costs. The owner has several CGC comics and a few rarities behind the counter. If you were looking for something graded, I would call ahead, as he did not have very many. Speaking of, the shop can ship your comics for CGC grading, and is a little cheaper than doing it from CGC's site. The owner is friendly, talkative, and informative. He was very polite to my wife (who is not a comic nerd and is very quick to judge a place on how they treat her and its appearance). Which leads me to the area, which I usually don't remark on. The store is completely by itself, but is just down the street from Commercial street. After a healthy shopping trip to the comic shop, I like to read my latest finds over lunch or supper. Commercial has a lot of great places to eat OR drop off my wife so I can get uninterrupted nerd time. The largest complaint is that the selection of current issues was extremely limited. I realize this is to keep down costs, but I like variety and often pick up 2-3 titles I don't usually read out of curiosity. There was a display of consul games, and I overheard a customer doing a trade in. Have no clue about the prices or selection. There is no table top gaming supplies nor places to play, so if you are gamer this store is not for you. I will say, this is probably one of the better subscription services I have seen. Signing up for a sub means you get 50% off the back issues (great for me since I like filling in my collection) and a savings stamp card. "Spend X and get Y discount" stamp card. The toys are scattered and sparse. A few current Star Wars, some POP, a few oddities, but that's about it. More of impulse buys than anything else. The store has a counter for MTG and other card games, but limited display. I'm not a card gamer, but I saw several customers buying cards there. The owner had binders of cards for them to riffle through, which I assume from the haggling, were more common cards. In short, a decent comic shop. Not strong in any one dimension, but very balanced across many. I go out of my way to go to this store (mostly as selection in my area is absolutely sparse). Avoid if you are a gamer, but for a comic buyer, this place is pretty good.

It looks small from the outside but there are 3 floors, the first floor is the gift shop with seating, 2nd floor seating, and 3rd floor for event space. We got drinks and snacks by the front desk (no outside food or drinks allowed) and paid a $5 admission fee which allows in and out access all day which is cool. Nice, cozy vibes overall. Since we were there for the first time, they explained all the gaming areas which is organized by various colors and each represent something different. We focused on the easy, 2 player games. There is so much variety, something for everyone! We will definitely come back. Parking is easy and there is also a lego store next door which was also cool to check out.

Additionally, there are no restrooms - so while you're lost trying to find books, following incorrect labeling, and navigating the otherwise chaotic disorderliness, you can rest assured that they will be unaccommodating. I recently took my family here, and as we were compiling a stack of books worth a couple of hundred dollars (we're working to stock our home library built-in shelves), our toddler son needed to use the restroom. We asked if he could use theirs, and they said no. Rather than spending my money with them, I left my stack of books where they were and took my son to the restroom at Barnes & Noble, where I continued my book shopping. As for the bulk of used books I need, I can obtain them via Amazon and AbeBooks, and don't have to support a rude local business that is unhelpful and falls short of providing a quality experience. Why shop local when you can shop at the giants who care about their customers? I will never return.
