The people working were talking really grossly about women the entire time while I (a woman) stood in front of them. My husband even joked that I should ask questions to see how often they looked at him to answer as the man. The other major issue was the bathroom. It has a sign warning of the "wrong ways to use the bathroom" and that using their bathroom was a privilege, not a right. But the bathroom itself had blood drips down the walls and on the floor, followed by not having toilet paper. Even washing my hands I felt like I wasn't actually getting cleaner. I will say that I asked someone for recommendations and they very obviously googled things before realizing they didn't carry any of the games he named. He then tried googling a bunch of random titles to see if they fit my interests, which I can just do myself. Great concept, not so great experience.

I've been here many times and this place is fantastic for older consoles and games. The guys are…read moresuper nice and cleaned my n64 'jungle green' for me when the reset button got stuck. The gentleman was professional and quick and resolved my issue. They also have popular RPG games, like Magic & Warhammer, etc if you're into that. I'll keep returning for the vintage games (& possibly some newer) that's for sure.

This store is probably the top game store I've been to. They don't sell single cards but that's not…read morea big deal for me. Just the fact that they help u find what your looking for says volumes to me. I try to come here every weekend for the yugioh tournament it always feels nice to just hangout with good friends and play the game you love. I have never met the owner but if he is anything like his employees then I'd say he's running his store very well

I've been coming to this comic shop ever since I was a kid. I remember when I was addicted to those…read morePokemon/ Yugioh cards and walking that three block excursion to buy just a few more booster packs. Ohh, those where the days haha. Anyways, they always have such a huge variety of comics, old and new, and that's not even to mention their playing card stock, Funko pops, and collectables. If they dont have what you want on their shelves they can easily order it as well. The staff is and has always been really helpful and actually pretty darn knowledgeable about the comics they're selling. I don't have anything negative to say about these guys, truly, If anyone is looking for a comic store with a great vibe and stock, I reccomend stopping by- I have been living out of town for almost 7 years and when ever I do come back to Belleville I almost make it a mission to stop by atleast once. Suprisingly, they still have me in their system after all these years too..

This store is bigger than what you may expect. It is divided in two--majority of inventory in…read morefront and large gaming area in back. Both areas are spacious with high ceilings. Inventory consists of newer comics, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, art books, board games, trading card games, toy figures, statues, model kits, and model paints. Items not in stock can be ordered for you. There is a long wall displaying the latest issues of comics, and there are boxes of back issues. They focus on newer comics, so you will not find older comics here. If you plan to get an ongoing comic series, then it is recommended that you use the pull-and-hold service and create a pull list. Most comic shops offer this service and can reserve and set aside titles for you to pick up at your convenience. Pull lists and subscriptions help comic shops determine which titles and quantities to order for the entire store.

This is much more than a comic store. If you are looking for collectibles from pop culture, you have come to the right place. Throughout the store they have different figures and other toys. This place is also the Funko Pop palace! They have a huge assortment of the highly collectible and cool vinyl figures. The staff are friendly and very helpful! Great customer service!

I love it that I can pick up a big and literally stand there for like 30 mins browsing at it and they won't bother you. I also love the cafe! They make really good Starbucks coffee and have really good food! I love all the food they have here especially the desserts! My favorite are their cookies and cheesecake! I also love their quiche too! It's seriously the best! Only downfall for this location is that it's not affiliated with actual Starbucks so you can't use your Starbucks card. PS: they need to bring back their tiramisu! It was the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life and I've travel the world for good tiramisu lol

Review Visit: December 22nd, 2013…read more Adventures here tend to be on the more nerdy side. Heroic Adventures, just like Slackers, is a frequent stop for my friends and I when we are visiting friends in Edwardsville. Just like Slackers, the price of things here tends to be on the 'higher' side of things. But with higher prices come a lot of cool things... They have board games, card games, collectible/trading card games, comics, graphic novels, figures, and the list goes on and on. Almost anyone who has the smallest sliver of geekiness in them will find something here they want to buy. One of my friends always drools over they figure section. I always browse the board games, DBZ stuff and Magic: the Gathering sections. We typically spend 30 minutes looking around before we finally leave and one of us bought something. It is a great companion store to Slackers.. Whereas Slackers is heavy on games, this place is heavy on everything else.

Been around for awhile now. Maybe a year. They buy and sell Magic Cards, video games, and DVDs…read more They also sell RPG systems, dice, figurines, as well as board games such as Settlers of Catan and others. The business is kinda small, but hopefully they can make more room to accomadate the growing number of people coming up for Friday Night Magic as well as their other gaming tournaments. Supposedly, soon they will also start to get in comic books into the store. Hopefully, a good selection as well as graphic novels. The two owners are for the most part pretty easy to speak with. They are very into Magic the Gathering themselves and have pretty decent knowledge of a lot of what people want. Sometimes, they get pretty busy with all the people trying to buy things and you have to wait awhile, but nothing too long. A decent business with a bright future as long as the owners are smart and grow slowly and continue to get along with their patrons.

They have a fantastic selection of family games, card games, wooden puzzle games, and etc. etc. etc. This tiny little hole in the wall (I know the owner John is looking at getting a larger place) truly is a fantastic stop. For those of you who are not that interested in playing Magic, or Yu-Gi-Oh, no worries. Stop in anyway and don't let the external trappings dissuade you. The owner, John, and his wife have chosen an excellent selection of games. You'll find games suitable for the very youngest kids, for instance 5, 6, and 7 years old, through to very challenging and intense games good for multiple day long gaming sessions. John is very knowledgeable about his games, and if you talk through what you like with him he will be sure to show you some new things you've never heard of before that you will enjoy. Very good selection of Ticket to Ride modules, Dominion games, and many others. Also if you are a card gamer, he has several table set up for card duels. Very delightful place.
