Trip Review : Nine Realms Comics & Games Nine Realms Comics and Gaming in Fairlawn/ Montrose area…read moreright at the corner of Cleveland Massillon Rd and Medina Rd ( RT 18). I stopped and saw Brian for the first time. Great location in West Akron. West Akron has needed a friendly-neighborhood comic and gale shop for a long time. Everything is well-displayed and well lit. New comics weekly, back issues and supplies. Back issues plus card games, table top and other games. I saw a plethora of graphic novels plus some premium wall books. They have a large gaming area and posted gaming nights. Check out the photos for statues and pops. Over all a great looking , nicely organized shop. Stop in and support them! They are in the corner of the plaza.

I don't typically write negative reviews as I'm someone who wants to support local stores over…read moreAmazon, especially my local comic book and board gaming stores. The problem occurs though when the people involved with local stores prove to be untrustworthy and uncommunicative. Todd ran a campaign on Kickstarter "Along a Burning River Volume 2 - Stories of Ohio", which was originally expected to delivery a graphic novel with art entirely drawn by Ohio Artists. This graphic novel was supposed to be delivered in August 2022. The backers have yet to recieve this graphic novel. I can be understanding of delays, but the lack of communication is unproffessional and infuriating. The last update Todd posted on Kickstarter was posted June 5, 2023, more than 20 months ago. That post indicated that the content was basically done, and we were waiting on design and layout. The last post prior to that was November of 2022, in which he apologized for the "long overdue update." You might be asking yourself, why I'm writing a negative review for a brick and mortar store, when someone associated with the store was running a theoretically independent kickstarter to create a graphic novel. However, its clearly a related product, and Todds Kickstarter profile linked to multiple different social media accounts, and at least one of them mentions Nine Realms Comics and Gaming. Part of the reason I had for trusting Todd, was because of his association with Nine Realms. This review feels like it might be unfair to the rest of the staff, as most of the people I know who work for or own a comic book store are wonderful, and interesting people. However, my experience with this one individual is so negative that I felt like I had to say something. If you do business here, I hope your experience is better than mine.

As soon as I saw the Zelda & Link sign in the window, I knew I was about to make some poor…read morefinancial decisions--and I was totally okay with that. I came in for a hit of nostalgia and left with a mini treasure chest of childhood memories (aka Game Boy games). Scored Zelda and Super Mario World 2 like I just beat a dungeon boss. The pricing? Fair--especially for the kind of games that practically come with a side of childhood joy. The employee was like a walking strategy guide--super helpful and definitely knew his stuff. I half expected him to offer me a Master Sword for asking the right questions. The only downside? I wanted more merch! But hey, it's called Video Game Connection, not Nostalgia Overload Emporium... although, honestly, I'd shop at both. Will 100% be back next time I'm in Cleveland--with rupees in hand!

Trip Review - Ground Zero Comics in Strongsville Ohio. Ground Zero Comics and Cards @markus benn…read more One of Neo ComicCon's earliest supporters was Ground Zero and owner Markus Benn. I love stopping into a shop that is definitely Chaotic Neutral. Maybe Chaotic Good. Or visa-versa. This shop is showcased / packed with Gaming, Gaming, Gaming. If you look up gaming in the dictionary, there's gonna be a picture of this shop They have gaming supplies, all sorts of card games, all sorts of singles, all sorts of table top games, dice and a great place in the back of the store to sit down and play whatever you desire. Markus also has what I believe is the only display of Sideshow collectible statues In Cleveland. If you like the stuff, be sure to break out your wallet they are not cheap. All along the tops of all the shelves are additional statues and other toys and collectibles. Be sure to look up. They carry, as I said, gaming supplies, and Comic supplies. They also have new comics on Wednesdays and Comics displayed around the store. A huge selection of graphic novels are along the wall on the right hand side. Markus has a lot of marquee or dioramas set up, and I love his Beholder, the huge G.I. Joe aircraft carrier and of course the Star Wars robot in the back. Only pictures can do this store justice. Please take a look at the pics. Markus and Ground Zero will have some free comics for a free comic book day. Be sure to stop out and see them.
