    This shop is amazing! The owner is very friendly and accomodating, a pet friendly shop, and if you…read moreare looking for something and he does not have it, he will find it. And the local products are wonderful! You can find things that cover nearly every fandom out there and some take requests as well. Wood craft signs, resin products, knit/crochet/sewn. And he does have delivery options and online shop.

    Cute shop, lots of great merch and a wonderful LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, but the prices were very…read morehigh, even for the stuff that isn't locally-made or handmade. There are pillows in there for example - just two pieces of fabric sewn together and stuffed, nothing fancy - for over thirty bucks. In this economy? There are things up about the store that also refer to Canada as "Turtle Island", which is preachy and a colonizer term (colonists brought maps from above and the "Turtle Island" thing is contentious and offensive to other Indigenous tribes that don't adhere to this term for Canada). I was only able to afford a pinback button (an ace flag, I love ace representation!) and a second-hand Beanie Baby because most of the new merch was so expensive. Friendlier environment than Strange Adventures, and I loved how kind and approachable the staff were. To be fair, this is a somewhat recently-established shop in comparison with its competition, and so the price thing might just be teething troubles, but nobody in this economic climate could afford to buy much here.

    If you're into comics ..whether you're hunting down classic back issues or looking for new…read morereleases. Strange Adventures on Prince Street is an absolute must-visit landmark in Halifax. The store itself has an incredible atmosphere: packed wall-to-wall with an expansive selection of back-issue bins, modern floppies, graphic novels, indie titles, and local East Coast creators. It manages to bridge the gap between a welcoming neighborhood shop and a true enthusiast's treasure trove.  Prices are super reasonable.. The highlight of the experience is easily the staff. Getting to chat with Dave, a staple of the shop who also writes and draws his own fantastic indie books (like The Makers) really highlights what makes local comic shops special. Getting a copy of a creator's own work directly from them behind the counter is as cool as it gets.

    First off, big thumbs up for investing in downtown Dartmouth!…read more Secondly, a nice expansion to the Strange Adventures brand. Providing all your comic/fantasy/sci-fi needs in a wee tiny little shop? That's the model upon which the Strange Adventures' legend was built. There are, of course, some downsides to such a small location. It can be a bit cramped and definitely intimate. If you're incredibly shy, this may not be the best venue for you. The stock is also limited but they can order in pretty much anything you want that's not in store. Still, they have the latest and greatest. Whether you're buying for yourself or getting a gift for someone, staff can help you navigate the geekery and find just what you're looking for. Overall, a great addition to Strange Adventures' line and to Dartmouth.
