There is so much to see, browse through, buy! It is not only new edition comics on one wall, it's a display of your fave action heroes like Batman, Yu gi oh, in a glass encased display.

Looking for one book and wanting more…read more I came here after a friend's recommendation. He told me I could spend all day in here; he was right. I was only looking to get this week's issues (it was NCBD) but they do they have back issues. And I mean plenty of back issues. It's separated by modern and copper/silver age. The golden age stuff is in the walls. They don't sell too many slabs but they have them. There's plenty of figures and vintage toys. This place is an 80's guys and gals dream. Overall 5 stars. I don't live in the area but if I did, I could spend all my Wednesdays here.

Comic Kings is what happens when a library, a caffeine-fueled nerd, and a printing press have a…read morebeautiful, chaotic baby. The shelves are overflowing with comics from every universe--Marvel, DC, indie stuff that makes you question reality, and at least one title where a duck is a private investigator (don't ask, just read it). The staff? Legends. They speak fluent nerd, offer reading recommendations like comic sommeliers, and will absolutely roast you (lovingly) if you call Batman a superhero with no powers. This is a pure comic temple. Graphic novels as far as the eye can see. You'll walk in for one issue and leave with enough reading material to survive a small apocalypse. Just don't tell your partner you "accidentally" started a new pull list.

Kid in a candy store…read more Everyone knows that Wednesday's are special to the comic book community. And being away from my LCS, I needed to find a shop. Luckily, we have Yelp. Compared to all the shops I've been too, this is one of the larger LCSs. That's because they also hold playing cards tournaments. That's a whole different animal I don't want to get into. The store has it all. You want modern, old age, graphic novels, back issues, $1 bins, slabs, toy collectibles, figures, Pops, manga, and other art works, it's here. Along with candy, snacks, soda and a bathroom. How long do these card tournaments last? Geeks, told you they're different animals. ;p Much respect to the card community. And I guess they pass out tee shirts to new visitors. Automatic five stars there. Seriously overall is five stars. This place has it all and the people working there were very nice. I was able to chat with all of them and understand the comic book community area a bit better. Virginia is a big hub for the community and they get packed. So what are you waiting for, a movie? Get a book are read about it. M

I was able to trade some graphic novels for store credit and purchase a few toys that were missing from my collection. Prices are very reasonable if not close to retail. This place isn't trying to break your bank and mark up the price like some other shops in the area. Staff is helpful and fair with store credit offer on items I brought in to trade. Looking forward to doing more trades.

I'm only not giving it 5 stars because the prices are surprisingly high--you can find many of the same books cheaper online--and the store is a bit disorganized and crowded.

I stepped inside and all I saw were books. A little organization could have helped but all in all it was pretty well maintained. They had a large selection of book of all topics. They even had a 21 and over section on the back. It was sectioned off by a retractable arm with a bell on it. The lady at the counter was super nice. This was a great store.

DO NOT SELL YOUR STUFF HERE! Unless, of course, you enjoy being ripped off. I brought them a bin…read morefull of board games, a bin full of hardcover and paperback books, and a bin of DVDs. Three bins, people! Two were full to the top. They kept it all and offered me thirty-two bucks. What a joke. Maybe they felt since I was getting rid of it I'd take anything?? They were right. I took the money and wrote this sour review, haha. Poor me aside, the female employee who assisted me was very kind. The male when I returned, though, not so much. I'll also say they do have a great selection of items to purchase. And their prices were reasonable for the few autobiographies I found. Maybe that's it. They give you next to nothing for your stuff so they can price books on the cheap too???

Update for change over time: They don't offer too much when…read morethey buy your items, but they have insanely good prices. The service is great, and they let you verify that game consoles/cartridge games are legit before you buy. This place is absolutely amazing, I just wish they'd buy at a slightly higher price. This place is worth checking out for books, movies, games, manga, and even collectibles. This is like Cool Stuff or Videogame Heaven, but with even more great things to buy. I'm extremely happy with my WiiU special edition, and the low price I bought it at. Thank you so much for your wonderful service :)

It's a really cool store with some of the most unique furniture and collectibles you can find in any store and probably would take you days to track down on the Internet. A five foot tall Betty Boop as a carhop waitress statue, a life sized Elvis, a huge spider lamp, modern art couches and so many other anomalies that I can't even describe, Cool and Eclectic definitely meets the expectations of its name. Having recently moved from its old Laskin Road location to two store fronts in Pembroke Mall, Cool and Eclectic has downsized on the amount of merchandise but still keeps its quirkiest and rarest items in stock. Many of the pieces are one of a kind, rare or collectibles, making the heavy price tags understandable, but still challenging for the interior design star on a strict budget. But search through the extensive selection, find your favorite piece and save up for it. It's worth the cost.
