Really cool spot that is well stocked with comics, toys, and pop culture paraphernalia! Staff is friendly, and there's fan service in play for every fandom. Well worth a visit.
What a fantastic store! If you like comics, super heroes, Funkos, games or related, you need to go there. They have many Funkos there, with a decent organization. Prices are not that high compared to online stores - and I was luck enough to buy one for 1 USD.
The staff here are incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the specifics, and give genuinely great recommendations. Michelle in particular was really good at finding tailored recommendations for us and giving us substantive thoughts on science fiction-ey comics, and is very well-read!
I haven’t been here since they were located on the corner. It still has that magical feel to it when you walk in. Great selection of random things and a great showcase of writers and books that are currently crossing over into different mediums. Picked up my son’s first comics with the help of a nice staffer.
