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.

I found myself wishing there was something more to do here than just buy comics because I wanted to hang around after my purchase just to geek out with them a bit on their tastes and why they were into the things they liked, etc. Their website could use a bit of work, but I'll try to hunt around for information that might give me an excuse to hang out there more often.

If it is Comic Culture it is represented here. You have new comics,old comics, nice selection to include every collectors favorite $1 Boxes.

Definitely a great Shop to check out, you will find something that will have you pulling out your wallet.

Wow, this is a great comic shop about 45 mins south of DC. I visited when I was in the area…read morebecause they indicated they had some golden age comics. Boy, did they ever. I spent about an hour looking through the higher priced comics along the front wall and finally settled on the perfect one. The store is the larger of the two they have in the shopping center. They took it over from Tuesday Morning when it went out of business. I think they indicated it was 18,000 sq feet. Probably the largest comic book store I've ever visited. Lots of comics, games, cards, toys, plush, even a video game in the back to play? They also have a sister store in Woodbridge, just much smaller.

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.

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.

It's located in an alley way of sorts - behind Gathering Grounds and other shops directly facing the front parking lot. The first thing you notice walking in - is the super cool, close-to-life size Silver Surfer! I need one of those in my house! Tons of comics, a small amount of Dungeons & Dragons books, and some Funko Pops and other figurines. I bought an Avengers comic collection. Service was good, paid with Apple Pay. #TheAmazingComicShop

Definitely visit this location, as they have it all under one roof.

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.

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.

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
