TLDR; amazing place and layout very affordable amazing service and has a verity of things…read more I absolutely love it here I've been here twice and I'm glad to say it's amazing I was worried due to the other reviews that said people here are transphobic and a bit weird towards women and I'm glad to say it's not like that it's nothing like that anymore Atleast They have comics, manga, graphic novels and coloring books along side of necklaces, figures and gems(although I'm not sure the authenticity of them) and other things (be careful if you bring children in though cause there are some porn comics) Everything is really well priced and today they had a 50% off stand outside with comics graphic novels and manga the avg price of the paperback comics are like 5$ and below while the softcovers can range from 30-50$(from what I saw) not sure how much the manga is while the graphic novels are around 17$ they have a 1$ section of comics and their figures are around 230-maybe 400$ it's very affordable The service was amazing when I went yesterday for some rogue comics although they ran out due to popularity they helped me find some comics where she's heavily featured in and while checking out they ask if you want a cover for the comic and they're very welcoming and friendly I love the layout they maybe a small store but it's very neat and not cluttered there's a lot of verity 100/10 would recommend

Edit (Sep 28, 2025): I went back and they gave me a cash…read morerefund, even though I originally paid by card, which I really appreciated. That made things right on the surface, but the experience itself still left a bad impression--especially for a store that specializes in cards. Here's what happened: I went in asking for sleeves to fit standard-sized Magic: The Gathering tokens--just regular cards, but double-sided. I explained that I already had sleeves for the rest of my deck, but those had colored backs, so I specifically needed clear sleeves on both sides to show both faces of the token. I picked out clear baseball card sleeves (which are the right size for MTG), but the staff told me they wouldn't fit and pushed me toward something else. The pack they sold me turned out to be 60mm x 87mm, which is too small. That's where the frustration came from. They were more concerned about whether I was using a "gaming" sleeve vs. a "sports" sleeve for feel, but they completely missed the basic form factor--which is way more important. I would've been fine with a sports sleeve if it fit. Instead, I left with something physically incompatible with the cards I clearly described. I don't expect every store employee to be an MTG expert, but this is a card shop. Knowing the standard MTG card size (91mm x 66mm) should be a given--especially if you're giving product advice. It's frustrating because I went in expecting the kind of help you get from a local face-to-face shop, but I ended up finding the right sleeves on Amazon after getting burned in person. I want to support brick-and-mortar shops like this. But when they miss something that basic--and then misguide the customer--that's a trust issue. The refund helps, but the experience still leaves me unsure whether I'll be back.
