Did you see the new Superman movie? Superheroes are popular for kids and adults. I think everyone…read morehopes to be a superhero in some way. So, when you feel the need to feed your inner superhero head on over to Fantom Comics. A well organized oasis for comic books, mysteries, children's books, toys, and Japanese anime characters. I love the way the space is designed so you can sit and look at the books, before you buy them. I thought prices were reasonable and the quality of the comic books was great! Like brand new first editions, they were spotless. Service was excellent. The gentleman at the counter was so helpful and friendly. If your inner superhero is calling then head on over to Fantom Comics.

I'm always looking for fun or great comic book stores and love to support them. This one…read morewas...okay. It's a small store so I get it. They can't handle a lot of backstock. And I do appreciate that they have a fairly nice kids section. But their selection of books runs sparse and they have barely any other products. It's like they dabble in collectible card games without having anything substantial. PRODUCT: Really very little. Despite a huge sign proclaiming they sell Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokemon, they did not have anything substantial to offer and from the look of their old product, they don't carry much at all. In terms of comics, it's not much at all. They have far more graphic novels. I'm not sure if this place wants to be a book store more than a comic book store. SERVICE: Okay. Nothing spectacular. Didn't feel like I was valued or helped much. The stairway leading up to it was filthy. COST: Average. Not inflated but not inexpensive either. No real bargains.

I approached Steve and the team at Collector's World about supporting my charity golf tournament. I…read moremet with Steve and we worked out an agreement that satisfied both parties, he even donated a frame for an autographed jersey, which helped us raise even more money. Prior to my outreach, I had never been to this shop, I was blown away by the inventory and how busy it was every time I stepped foot in there. Steve has something special here, so go check it out. It's a collector's dream. Well done, Steve.

Awesome shop! Lots of good inventory. Reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. Will comeback again!read more

While walking around DC, during a weekend trip, I made a stop at this location. I love comics,…read moremanga, and graphic novels, so stumbling upon this cute little shop was perfect. Even better is the sale that was going on for the whole month of July in celebration of their anniversary! Overall, the shop was clean, bright, easy to peruse, had a really great selection of new acquisitions and older staples. I really appreciated the extensive horror section. The music playlist had great vibes, and the woman behind the counter was very personable and friendly. I left the shop with a graphic novel, manga (recommended by staff), a tote bag, sticker, and a single issue comic. Can't wait to visit again one day! **Note: The stairs leading to the front entrance of the shop might make this location inaccessible for some folks.

I sent them an email and within the hour I get a personal phone call back from Aubrey, the sweetest, nicest, most genuine person, they explain the situation and just having a little hiccup, they go above and beyond and refund the 2nd half, and help me feel better about the mistake. I can't thank them enough but they have gotten a repeat customer. These people have my business and I hope the boss sees how amazing Aubrey is and how great she is at handling customers.

More specifically, this store has people that apparently love comics. Don't get them started. Really... don't get them started. They will tell you more than you ever needed. Nah... Get them started, you'll probably end up finding something else you want to read or collect. They explained how to read the sku to identify the different releases and where this particular one falls. If it's the original or a variant. How to find missing volumes. I started specifically because of Sam Wilson: Captain America movie release so that's that I started on. I didn't know it would be such a short ride. However, they have been helping me catch up on Luke Cage so that's what I'm reading this summer :-). The odd thing is, I've only seen 2 kids in here. Ever time I go in, there are nothing but full grown adults looking for their own literary magic. IDK if they don't have kids or if they just said ... them kids. It's a great place for me time.

They have got hundreds of inventory here! Very strange hours and little organization, im convinced…read morethis guy uses this place mostly as a storage unit but will sell to any customers that wander inside. They've got games and systems from Sega, Nintendo NES, GameCube, game boy, PlayStation.. I mean everything. Action figures, comic books, and toys too. We were just looking, and I told the guy that he should use Yelp more so that people can find the store cause I had no idea what all this place had inside. But he said he takes everything to the NY comic con and sells it there. Either way, this place is pretty cool. I'd just be careful about driving far to come here because again, the hours are very weird.

Very nice, and caring customer service! Gave me a discount when I was on a budget, for free!read more

I really enjoyed my time at Pure Panic! The people here are super friendly, both staff and other…read morecustomers, with their recommendations and comic knowledge, even for someone as casual as me. Everything is priced fine I'd say. First floor was comics and some toys, and the downstairs was for Magic I think. They have DC, Marvel, other graphic novels, anime merch, manga, and card games. Was able to find the comic I wanted easily. Good selection of new issues and variants as well. A seating area to read comics too. I'd definitely come again if I lived closer to this location!

A standard comic shop, but has the staples! I appreciate the variety they have with both DC and…read moreMarvel comics, as well as the variant covers - they were easy to look through and properly covered. Would say they were fairly priced for each comic, minus the rare or vintage ones. Also has manga, figures, and other series. Can be kind of crowded and small but cozy. The staff was chill and nice. I'm not sure about parking, as there seemed to be only a few spots devoted to the comic shop, but the metro is convenient and nearby the shop.

Back then it was a huge fire hazard -- shelves stacked floor to ceiling packed with comics and barely enough room to walk in between. I loved it!! They've moved since then, but only about 200 feet down the road. Same small shopping area. It's much more open so I do miss the stacks on top of stacks of comic books. The one lone guy in front and I chatted for quite a while. Told me the history over the last 30 years since I've just not been in. Nice sized selection, including a lot more slabs than I've seen in most comic shops. Definitely a must-stop-by if you're in the area.

As others have noted - this is a pretty small store. It might be the smallest comic book store I've seen in the area. But - small is not necessarily a negative. They have a good selection of comics. They also have a small selection of D&D books and dice. After perusing the store - I did not find anything I wanted, but I'll have to drag a couple of my nerdy comic book friends over to check the place out and get their take on the place. #BigPlanetComics

If you're a member of a sorority or fraternity, they sell merchandise here and had a good selection of all organizations. The staff were nice and I browsed a bit. MahoganyBooks has a huge selection of books for all ages. Everything is from a Black author or related to Black culture. The prices are in line with other bookstores, and you can be proud to support their local and diverse mission when you shop here. As a whole, National Harbor felt planned, corporate, and cold, but MahoganyBooks is the exception to this. If you're in National Harbor for a conference or convention, this is a must-stop and must support business.
