I recently visited the Gathering Grounds coffee shop in University Mall - and noticed the sign for…read more"The Amazing Comic Shop," so, as I check out all comic and gaming stores - I knew I had to come back and check it out. 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

The silver surfer is so cool! Then again so is this store. They have every comic, and then even…read moremore. The selection is "amazing!" If you want books of comics from retro eras, you'll want to go here. They also have lots of games, as well as related merchandise. Prices are competitive. Great staff works here. All of their employees have been friendly and helpful. This is definitely something different, and I appreciate this. A fun place at University Mall. Definitely visit this location, as they have it all under one roof.

Easy location with plenty of parking, and nice looking storefront. Friendly greeting as we walked in by (Jason) who was all around great during our shopping experience. He was informative & helpful in assisting me & my wife find stuff. My wife walked out with some early birthday presents for our son. The store was neatly organized and very clean. Nice selection of comics, graphic novels, anime, funko-pops etc. Not a huge selection of back issues (no $1 Bins) that I saw. Overall, a nice Comic Shop worth checking out.

When you're in the shop everyone is VERY friendly, and I appreciate that. They have a huge…read morecollection of comics and manga to choose from as well as statues and various card games. Everything is fairly priced and if you're looking for it they probably have it. My issue is the few times they DIDN'T have what I was looking for, I've asked them to order it. I also picked up something small or maybe didn't really want because I want to support my local comic store. And here's the thing. I could easily place my own order on Amazon probably get it cheaper and faster, but again I really WANTED to support my local comic book store. They told me they had ordered it and would call me when it came in. Two weeks went by and I called to check in. Was told no sorry hasn't come in yet. A month goes by and I call again this time they sound irritated and I get told they will call me when it comes in. At that point I decide screw it. I'll order it on Amazon and have it delivered tomorrow. And I'll go ahead and preorder the next few books in the series. It's now been 5 months. They never called. So it just kind of feels like, don't offer to order something if you're not going to follow through. I'm sure I'll be back eventually. I like the selection and general vibe there, but I don't think I'll be asking about anything that's not on the shelves going forward. It just feels like you're an inconvenience at that point.

Front and back with free to play arcade games means you can make a bit of time of it, hit the nearby brunch then wander down either memory or fandom lanes. A good showing here and well curated that shows they get it, without seeming like they're "too" interested in the odd hyper price hike cash grab in the space in some of the fandom frenzy areas. Pleasant surprise for a very simple expectation on the outside.

There's everything from comic books and figures to games from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Warhammer, and anything else you can think of. Some comic books are cheaper than on Amazon. I bought some on Amazon as gifts, only to realize after that, this place has them cheaper! I was just browsing and didn't have any questions or requests from the staff, but based on interactions with others, they know their stuff. This is not a surface-level, small store where they display a tiny collection. They have almost everything. I think that's the most important thing you need to know about this place. I did notice the retro consoles and games like the SNES are priced quite steeply here. They are rare to come by in Northern Virginia, so I'd expect that.

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

This sister store is mainly Comte for comic book collectors I feel. The big store has more items and a bigger selection of comic books collectables and just so much more. But still you should check out both stores just to see what they have in stock.

A quick search on the interwebs indicated the store had moved to a new location on the other side of Manassas. So off I went! The new location feels quite a bit large on the inside. They also have a snack bar with they sell food and drinks at certain times - and they have a large gaming room with plenty of tables and chairs! Looks like a good place for some D&D sessions! I bought a set of mini D&D dice to commemorate my visit to the new location. Paid with Apple Pay. #KeepItStrangeComicsAndCollectibles

This is a decent shop if you want comics. But go elsewhere if you want card games…read more Over the past 6 months, Victory is no longer selling at standard prices but are inflating their card prices by 20-25% despite getting their card supply directly from the manufacturer. For example, earlier today, I went in and was told a box of Avatar MTG cards was over $210 ($174 on Amazon) so I went to Pair o' Dice and bought it at $180. Victory is super convenient for me but I won't be back. I support my local gaming store but I won't support my local gaming scalper. For shame.

We'll definitely be back! Staff was nice and helpful and very well organized!

You need to be wary of if the store is attending an anime convention, as they visit major conventions across the country and take almost all of their manga supply with them. I would suggest checking in with the store before going and getting unlucky with all their manga being gone. (It's happened to me before lol) I will say the help isn't the best at times, as they frequently do sorting and rearranging of inventory, but when not busy, all of the staff are very nice and will helpfully explain anything to you!! The location is a little uncomfortable, but it's not too bad and there is a really good restaurant next door! Also need to clarify: they don't only sell manga, they have a large variety of things like anime merchandise, art books, cds and dvds, posters, plushies, and lots of gaming/ trading cards!

Not only did they perform such a scummy act, but they were laughing about it to customers. This store also effectively forces you to buy a pack just to play in their events and frames it as a free pack even though you pay for it with your entry. On an entirely different but more concerning note, I have personally watched the owner and a female employee be incredibly rude and condescending multiple times to another male employee.

Like brand new first editions, they were spotless. Service was excellent. The gentleman at the counter was so helpful and friendly.

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.
