They have a large selection of back issues and new releases. If you are looking for graphic novels instead don't worry they've probably got what you are looking for. I do wish they had more $1 books and more expensive wall books, but overall a good amount of inventory to browse through. They also have Funko Pops, Board Games, Magic the Gathering, and other TCGs. This was a very welcoming space and the guy at the counter helped me out with a few questions I had. We will be back!

Y'all KNOW if there's a new game store in town I have to show up to scout out the situation…read more Spoiler alert: this one is a WIN. R - Really cool owner. I choose my game shops largely based on interactions with the staff. They can make or break your experience. Mikey was incredibly inviting and upbeat - definitely made us want to come back! O - Opportunity to meet other people that love to game. Rockhopper drew a pretty decent crowd for being open such a short time. Can't wait to see it on a busy day. C - Commander nights on Saturdays and Tuesdays starting at 4pm. Most places start later and make it tough to work into your schedule. This is a huge win for me. K - Knowledge. There is nothing worse than a game store owner that knows nothing about games. Mikey had all the information pertaining to games, sets, scheduling, and his clientele. He's a real one. H - Hangover commander. Yes. Sundays are the day for hangover commander, D&D, and whatever else people are feeling like after a rough Saturday night. We love to see it. O - Open to everyone. As they should be. Happy Pride Month! P - Penguin theme. Self explanatory. P - Pretty good selection of comics, singles, board games, and other various game related items. E - Environment. The location and the vibe were very cool to us. It's nice to have a gaming location outside of the cities that is doing everything right! R - Raffles. Always fun. To conclude: we were pumped to find this spot. I'm curious to see how they'll handle busy times as it's a bit on the smaller side - but I imagine they'll have it all figured out. If I can order singles to this store - it's game over. Go check it out!

Wow, a lot of comic and gaming and anime stuff. If you want to let your fingers walk through…read morecomics, this place can challenge you to the marathon level. A nice couple of tall shelves of Manga; if I was looking to fill out a set this would be a good place to start. My nephew saw a few he wanted. The RPG/D&D area supported one gaming table and lots of figure stuff though more sections of not tightly organized stuff. You could do some bin diving and probably find a few treasures. High up, there were many many collectible figures and stuff. Out to look at a bit high up, and a few backed cabinets. You'll need to ask for help. Nice collection, though. Prices were competitive. We picked up a few things and were on a tour of all the stores on the west side. I was a little overwhelmed by all the stuff I am not into, but I liked the D&D section, but it needs a little attention.

Do NOT try and sell this place any cards whatsoever. Came in with a decent amount of Pokémon…read morecards--expecting it to take a few days for them to go through it all but hoping they could maybe pay out a small amount for some higher value singles. Wasn't a deal breaker but seemed a reasonable request. The collection was well organized and labeled and in really good condition--not just thrown into a bin or binder. The person told me they could go through all of it right then within 15-20 minutes because "it was just all bulk". It was absolutely not all bulk cards but ok I thought whatever let's see what they offer. After waiting over an hour, they offered me $35 for all of the cards. Um yeah absolutely not. Went to a different store, waited a few days and got offered $170 AND got almost half of the cards back. I had had a positive experience here previous but that price differential is just completely insane and unacceptable and I would hate for this to happen to someone else who really needs the extra cash. Go to Dreamer's Vault on Hiawatha to sell your cards--don't waste your time here!!

A large, yet cozy vibe game/comic shop! The very first thing I noticed on entry was the big…read moreProgress Pride flag hanging from the rafters-- immediately I knew I was among my people: the queer and nerdy! Approximately half the store is dedicated to various reading materials like comics, manga, and fiction. The other half is board games, RPGs, and supplies for said games (like mini figs and paints, dice, etc.). Throughout the store you'll also find toys, posters, collectibles, comic/trading card storage, and more. There's a lot to look at, so if you've never been, I recommend giving yourself at least an hour to browse around. This game shop also doubles as a community gathering and event space. There's lots of room and tables/chairs in the back to accommodate gamers who want to come in and play or hang and be social. I'm sure they have many specific goings-on each week (for example, I saw a sign advertising mini fig painting every Monday evening!); you can check out their event calendar on their website. There was also a gender ambivalent restroom and water fountain/water bottle refill station nearby. Some beverages were available for sale near the front. It is also quite obviously a safe space, as I saw in addition to the hanging pride flag an entire section dedicated to queer and trans materials, and an end cap as well for POC and disabled folk. I can't say how much it means to me as a trans person to see this kind of representation clearly on display during a challenging political time. I hadn't gone with the intention of buying anything (isn't that typical? lol) but to be honest, when I saw the queer support they were displaying, I wanted to support them back. It wasn't hard to find a couple things I wanted in order to give them my financial business. If you too prioritize supporting local queer businesses, consider buying from here! I normally wouldn't have been up this far north from where I live, but I was headed to a Yelp Elite event a little early and decided to see what else was in the area. So glad I stopped in here! I'll be back!
