Well; I was wrong. They all saw it and completely ghosted me. I definitely still got what I went there for but it is very clear their loyalty to Shannon is greater than customer service, $, or anything in life. I respect that. Treat people like crap knowing you are untouchable....im glad I know now. I leave 5 stars for loyalty. I'll never be back. I know they don't care, not like anything will happen. I wouldn't get too close to this place unless you are a passer by, the evil runs deep.

Anyway, this is my favorite comic shop (And I have been to/go to a lot of comic shops). It is the smallest comic book shop I've ever been in, but (1) they use their space wisely and efficiently, and (2) any of the four corners of this relatively small comic book shop have more personality than most shops do in their entire square footage. Good selection of currently running series, trade paperbacks of past runs, plenty of recent back-issues, and a $1 dollar bin.

Immediately I was approached by an employee and told I needed to purchase the item ($24.99 strawberry squishy) because I had touched it. We continued to shop and upon checkout was forced to purchase the strawberry even though I disagreed. The majority of their toys are being touched by customers but I was singled out and made to purchase the additional item because we had touched one as well? Because my son and I aren't white like the rest of the employees and customers that were in the store? Terrible customer service! To make things better, there is not such policy on their corporate site.

I have come to this location many times. Even though I do not profess to be a gamer, I have always…read moreenjoyed my time here. In truth, I am usually here working while my spouse plays. They have themed nights based on different games. They have an assortment of Warmachine, Magic the Gathering, Star Wars X-wing, D&D, dice, assorted supplies, snacks, drinks (even coasters), and board games. There are many times people at the store will choose to play together over a board game while waiting for their other games to begin. The store also hosts local tournaments. On a side note, I appreciate the store's cleanliness. However, what may set this store apart over others is its owner, Justin, and the relationships he has built with his customers. He is a very kind man, considerate and caring, attentive, and helpful. He is funny and curious, two traits that greatly pique interest in conversations where we have an opportunity to learn about each other more so than I think would happen without his involvement. The other customers there have certainly made the store their own. A running joke with a hint of bittersweetness from truth is how Justin may own the store, but it truly belongs to his customers -- that is, until actual responsibility must be invoked. The community he houses within its walls are welcoming and engaging. I am glad this place is here, because it is great to have friends I may otherwise not have known if not for the dynamic of this guild of sorts.

"I don't care for the new out of universe stuff." Insert smirk. The environment heavily caters to the LGBT community, they're allowed to have their own little hubs and what not.... so if you don't look like them, talk like them, or act like them... they'll treat you accordingly.. It's like I couldn't breathe in there. This is def the "pronouns" crowd. I remember trying to play and I kept getting interrupted by the two guys behind the counter talking about my deck being this, and how I can't do that, and according to blah blah blah I shouldn't do this. It makes it not fun to play when you have people like this around you. I get that there are rules and I'm learning.. but jeez, no need to laugh and jest all because I've only been playing for a month! The tables to play on were ok, but the overhead lights and constant flickering made me feel like I was going to have a seizure. There's constant conversation from the dudes behind the counter about how one of them has a "non binary" partner, and how to use the correct pronouns, and I'm just fatigued with this madness already. Can't there be a card shop that isn't obsessed with LGBT, pronouns, and schadenfreude? Idk, the environment isn't welcoming if you're not a far leftist or new to the games. It just isn't. That's how I felt while in there, that's my opinion. I'm not interested in politics from either side while I'm playing my cards.

We had no issue leaving our stroller outside -- there is room to "park." I couldn't recommend this store more, whether you want to buy something for your little one or to find that perfect gift.
