Instead of buying blind packs, one can search and pick out the cards they want. Large selection. Unfortunately this store was a recent victim of theft. So please visit and check out the selection they have. You can also sell your Pokémon cards here too. We saw one young man sell his card for $1100! You can get starter cards for very low prices too.

I've been collecting comics for over 30 years and it is great to find a small comics shop that simply just sells comics. Plenty of titles all labeled and categorized. Wall books and variants for those display collections. New comics also available. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about how to find anything you're searching to collect. The prices are also very favorable to the wallet. I will definitely be stopping by again to help fill in those run gaps.

Brian was fair, honest, very knowledgeable, and made the entire trade easy and enjoyable. That kind of trust and customer service is exactly why we keep coming back. Between the great selection, reasonable pricing, and conversations with people who genuinely love comics, Comic Relief is the kind of shop where you could spend hours. Couldn't be happier with the ASM #3 and the experience!

That means it has been supplying this college town with comics and collectibles for over 35 years. Run by the incredible Stuart family (Brian, Diane, and their son Kyle), it's the definition of a "mom and pop comic shop" where the owners are genuinely passionate about the hobby. They carry a massive selection of comics, graphic novels, action figures, and trading cards (including Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering). What sets them apart? Their impressive range of collectible vintage comics and sports cards from the 1950s and '60s. Come for the comics, stay for the friendly, personalized service. It's a clean store run with customer respect--a simple secret to 35 years of success!

But you can tell there's a lot of gaming love here. So much promotional signage I've never seen before. And mountains of cards and games in the back. We didn't have to pay for a table. And the prices for cards and games are very fair. The few times we asked questions, they were answered promptly. And if it matters to you, they have lots of terrain here for miniature games. Parking was very easy. I'll most likely be coming back here.

Didn't feel cheated at all; you get 50 to 60% of the retail value without hassle and they take on all the resale/overhead costs.

My fiancé was able to leave with a handful of One Piece cards he'd been looking for and we picked up a Pokémon EX card as well. Other customers were looking through their bulk Pokémon cards so I didn't get a chance to myself, but it looked like they had a fair amount. The staff was super friendly and helped us find what we were looking for, but I will mention that there was virtually no reception in store so if there's something specific you're looking for have it pulled up on your phone before heading in. If we're back in New Braunfels I'm sure we'll stop by again. Give this place a shot if you haven't already!
