This store is just ok. Lots of new comics not much older comics. Lots of figures and games. Staff just ok help. Specifically when I visited the store the staff were more interested in playing around with each other than taking care of me. It’s nice that they can have some fun at work but I feel like my time is also valuable. There’s better stores in the area.

My husband and I come here frequently, and usually always have a good experience. The staff is usually friendly, and helpful. They will hold items for you, and are super responsive even online to questions/etc. I think we visit the store almost every week, and there is always new items to look at. In the back is a huge section to play games/etc. My husband goes once in awhile to the Gundam build night, and usually has a pleasant experience. The store is clean, and that includes the bathroom. I’ve been to a few gaming stores in my life, and seen some horrible bathrooms. That’s a major plus to me having it clean, knowing you won’t catch the plague. The store is also dog friendly, and my dogs love visiting the store too. I’m sure they would give a positive review, and that’s not just based on the treats they get from the staff. I will say I’m not a fan of their prices at times on certain items. While we don’t mind supporting a local gaming store, we do pass up a few times that are overly inflamed in price.

Venom by Daniel Way is a really good one. The current series by Donnie Cates has been pretty solid too

We don't buy used books but we do have a bi-annual bazaar sale where you can bring items in for sale in exchange for store credit. Our next sale will be in the Spring of 2020.

I've never seen any video game consoles at the store. More comics, tabletop games and rpg's. Lots of accessories if you have an interest in those 3 areas.

Do you have The Secret by Byron Preiss

It's best to call the store and ask an employee about their current inventory; asking other customers about store inventory could lead to disappointment.
