    This place is terrific. Geek heaven. Great selection of single issues and trades, and huge boxes of…read moreold archival stuff. A large gaming area for tabletop games. Tons of tempting action figures and sculptures. Books on creating comics. The staff are always helpful and willing to assist me in finding anything I can't quite place or remember. The negative reviews I've read here seem to expect some kind of big-box-store phony PR campaign from the staff. I think they are mistaking people who are naturally shy or introverted (typical comic book readers?) with being unfriendly or unwilling to help. When I've taken the time to engage with the guys who work here I've had nothing but great experiences, digging through crates to find a certain story arc with my favorite characters, getting recommendations based on other things I've enjoyed, having variant covers set aside until they're ready to go on sale, etc. I'm always greeted by someone at either door when I walk in, and even though they know me by now they always ask if they can help me find anything. I don't know what people are expecting. Complimentary tiramisu? Overall this place is a great regular stop if you're a comic book, tabletop or action figure/memorabilia collector and I strongly disagree with reviews stating that the customer service is lukewarm. If you're comfortable in any other hobbyist shop you'll be comfortable here.

    Frankly I find this store overly crowded and not terribly friendly. As a woman who happens to be…read moreinterested in comic books, general geeky things, and games, I find it to be exceedingly important that there be good sight lines in a store of this variety and I find it confusing and hard to navigate as a store location. It really could lead to some uncomfortable encounters with staff or patrons simply because of the layout of the store. In addition I was there with a tall person recently and the items hanging from the ceiling hit his head. This is not good in general. It's a very disorganized clutter-filled store. And feels unusually crowded even when not many people are in there. I would much rather patronize other similar stores in Edmonton that do not have quite such a cluttered/unsafe aesthetic. It also took us a LONG time to find a staff member to help us in searching for a comic we were seeking (it was unavailable). It's good that this part of town has comics/games/etc. options for shopping but I really wish that it were more of a friendly place to shop, especially for people who are new to particular hobbies.

    The staff are friendly but they do not have a lot of selection. I ordered 2 items 3 months ago and…read morehave never heard anything back. I found the items 2 weeks ago in Vancouver. It is also a little dark and seems a little outdated

    I visited this store for the first time the other day because I was looking for a special item that…read moreI could find nowhere else. I usually only visit comic and collectible stores for trading or buying Magic the Gathering items. Upon entering this store I headed straight towards the MTG section. What I found was a very bare case and little to no variety. Most of the MTG stuff they carry is all for people who play standard format. Their selection is in definite need of a boost. Also, like the Wizards store in Edmonton their pricing is outrageously expensive. Normally I can find what they sell in other collectible shops for 25%-50% cheaper. So, I was once again disappointed. Then when I asked to have a glance at their "buy" list it was one sheet. One sheet! For any other MTG players I am sure this is something not often seen. Most buy lists are substantially larger. But, as I said before they only cater to the MTG players that play standard format. However, despite the poor selection and bad prices the staff here were very friendly. They were helpful, knowledgeable, and much better than the staff at Wizards in Edmonton. All in all I think I will only visit this store if I need something I know they have and I cannot get anywhere else. It was a "meh" experience.
