The graphic novel selection is fantastic, The only ding on this shop is a quibble, and not something to complain about, but just something to be aware of. If you buy wall books, the top loader is not included in the purchase. On top of the sale price, the top loader costs extra. Not much, but a bit. Fyi. Staff was friendly, though I didn't ask many questions. I'm sure they know their stuff. I'll happily visit again when I'm in the area.

The selection is pretty good, and the store has been clean and mostly welcoming both times I've been there. However, what broke it for me was when the owner told me he didn't have time to read any comics himself. I had stopped in one afternoon after work out of curiosity and subsequently struck up a friendly shop talk conversation with him. He seemed knowledgeable enough about the broad strokes of comics both as a medium and an industry, but I couldn't get past his lack of reading. Would you go to a mechanic that didn't drive a car? Would you eat at a nice restaurant if the chef only ate PB&Js? In a niche industry like comics, people crave community, and I just didn't feel it at Journey into Comics.

I was on a business trip to Columbus and wanted to check out the Local Magic scene. I called this…read moreplace to see if they took trades, which they do, and the gentleman on the phone was courteous. This place is a bit hard to find, so just know that it is in the Convention Center. The card selection is the largest for sealed product that I've seen in awhile, and even though they didn't take any of my trade-ins I happily plopped down some money! They had an amazing bargain on some precons so I bought two and a Sonic Secret Lair. Great value and huge selection for a small shop. You definitely get more than you would anywhere else in town. Your money is appreciated here and will give you a sense of value.

Yet another place I visited because I was in the area on other business…read more This place is in a plaza and I had difficulty finding it as I am not from the area. I really liked this place. So much to see and take in from comics old and new to toys to other collectibles PLUS check out their floor!! It is the single greatest floor I have ever seen. It consists of comic book covers (facsimiles) under a laminate surface. I spent a lot of time simply looking at all of it. The owner is a super friendly and knowledgeable guy and he is a hybrid collector spanning old (me) and newer (him). He brought me up to speed on a lot of what's been going on in the comics world and biz since I used to collect on a regular basis in the 1980's. So much has gone on. I didn't purchase anything but I came away with a lot of information from a most personable expert. I truly enjoyed chatting with him and soaking in all of the atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for all of your comic needs but mostly for an owner that knows and cares about the business,

The employees are very sweet but tend to leave you alone, which is honestly great for an introverted party.

I was amazed at the amount of merchandise for Magic and Pokémon. After looking around for half an hour, I asked one of the employees if any of the cards behind the display cases were for sale, he had to price them out, but was willing to pull any out that interested me. I had him pull out my grail - an EX/NM 1st Edition Dark Charizard from Base Rocket and he gave me $50. I decided it was too good to pass up and he rang it up for me. The experience with the great prices and relaxed atmosphere will have me checking out the Mason location very soon.

If you are plus sized, you might struggle to navigate this place as well. There was a teeny tiny bathroom on the bottom floor. You have to get the key (with a map to find the bathroom, connected to a large block of wood so it doesn't get lost,) from a cashier near the entrance. The bathroom didn't look the best but it did the job.
