Our normal comic book store is undergoing a change and didn't have the things we were looking for. A quick Google search of places like it brought up The Collective! We drove across town to shop here and do NOT regret it! Awesome selection and great customer service! Everyone that was working was knowledgeable and helpful! Definitely on our new favorite stops list!

It is genuinely hard to find a store dedicated to nerd culture. An all-in-one that caters to comics, figurines, ccgs, board games, and tabletops. The Collective is that place. It's not just a place to buy stuff either. The tables often play host to all manner of people playing Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Battletech, or Warhammer. This makes it not only a valuable commercial resource, but a piece of community.

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed discovering The Collective. I've been collecting for over thirty years and so I'd say I know my way around the shop scene, rarely is there more of a welcoming and accepting vibe. Both the owner and staff(I'm terrible with names!) took time to really engage me in conversation, despite having plenty to do, and I immediately felt more like I was meeting up with old friends and not just a customer. It really meant a lot to find that sense of community. And in case you were curious 😏 Absolutely stocked with comics, both mainstream and indies, statues and collectibles, with a complete setup for in-house gaming. A true one-stop for fans, collectors, and the curious alike.

Best Comic and Game store ever. Bren did a great job on his second iteration of the Collective. The gaming area is spacious and the atmosphere is wonderful.

Questions & Answers

can I submit a comic and pay to have it graded?

No, you will need to send the comic away to a grading company like CGC.

Is this a good place for people to get into d&d?

Yes. They have tables for gaming and have really embraced gaming groups the last year or so. We buy our gaming products there and have even considered joining some of the groups that have posted looking for players. The owner and staff are extremly friendly and customer service centric. This place is awesome.

We’re asking everyone to practice personal responsibility and respect the space of others.

Hello! I’d like to get into yugioh, do you have any specific day for that game?

The Collective: A Comic & Game Community | Sep 8, 2021

Hi Daniel, yes, we carry YGO, but aren't currently running events for it in the store. We are moving the store to a larger location in March and will be adding event times and play space in a larger location. Looking forward to seeing you! Brendan
