    The store is nice, but the prices are outrageous. I'm not enough of a geek to pay what they ask.

    Everything was very expensive, and many items were really above retail price. Better to shop online.

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.

    I know this place as just Echo Base. I didn't know it's called Tosche Station, lol. This is a…read morefull-on nerd town. 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.

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!

They recently visited a Bandai store and structured a…read morepurchase there to circumvent buy limits and gather a large amount of One Piece product only to put it on their own shelves at a lower quality (Bandai opens all the sealed boxes to discourage this exact practice) and a much higher price. 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.

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.

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.

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.
