I went here a week or so ago to see if they still sold Heroclix because my husband and I liked them a lot when we were dating years ago and me and my 7 year old son came across our little old collection in a beat up box in our garage recently but we were missing some things and frankly, I had forgotten how to play altogether. The staff there were Super helpful in informing me about what I might need and helping me and my 2 kids pick out fun heroclix that we would love. Their knowledge and passion about the items they sell made reconnecting with the Heroclix world such a fun and exciting experience and our whole family is hooked on them already. Great family bonding, much better than tv (and good math practice for the kids too ;))!

Decent selection of superhero related items other than comics (Shirts, Figures, Cards, other collectibles). I came in looking for the Blackest Night Promo rings from around 2009. Most of these sets go for $40+ on sites like eBay. I was able to find most of the rings here at a much better price, and I didnt have to wait. Best part, the rings they were out of had more coming in. They took my number, which rings I was looking for, and got me taken care of. Great service for such an small, otherwise insignificant, request. Taking care of a guy that wants a cheaply made power ring from a DC promotion...Awesome work!

Using their online pull list, they consistently pulled covers I didnt order (Cover B when I ordered A, Cover A when I ordered B, etc.) First couple times I thought maybe I was misclicking and ordering the wrong books, but I went back through every order and made sure I wasnt. Went back to exchange a book for the CORRECT version, but it was sold out. Thats when I realized they either pay no attention whatsoever when filling orders (which defeats the ENTIRE purpose of pre-ordering), or intentionally pull (presumably) less popular covers and hope you dont notice until its too late.

I did not enjoy this store. The guy behind the counter seemed to be annoyed by me rather than interested in me, talked to himself, randomly laughed (he and i were the only ones in the store, it was awkward). Not to mention, they are selling the #1s for DC 52s at insane prices. 30 bucks for Justice League #1? No thanks, Ill get it across town for 3 dollars. And Im not just talking about first printing, even with the second or third print none of them were less than 8 dollars.

They have a great selection, pretty much anything you want. Just be prepared to pay a bit for it. The staff is a little annoying/awkward but friendly and very knowledgeable. If youre into Magic the gathering or table top they got alot of that, perhaps too much, for me at least. I always feel like Im interrupting a Magic game when I walk in and start looking at comics. Over all if you need something and cant find it elsewhere, this is the place to pick it up.

I called the place looking to price out a playset of a Magic: the Gathering card. We negotiated a price and I drove by to make the purchase. Once I arrived and picked up the cards the owner raised the price. The card itself was not worth the price he was charging on any of the popular card selling sites. This type of business practice is appalling and I have not been back since. Try another local store before resorting to this place.

Ive had a pull list here for almost five years. They were the only comic store in flint to even attempt to carry the walking dead when it first came out. Theyve always been the most helpful guys every time Ive gone in. Theyve had wonderful suggestions and got me interested in series I didnt even know about. Theyve also ordered and kept on hand the Atomic Robo series I couldnt find anywhere else local. Stop by this place for sure

This place has been around for ever! New management has taken over and so far it has been a good change. There is a great selection of comics. But there is even a better selection of card board and heroclix games. There is a big area for playing games here as well. It is on the west side of Fenton Rd, just of few doors south of Bristol Rd. Not hard to get to from I-75 either.

I have been going there for 25 years and have never had a problem. The guys are really cool and go out of the way to make sure that you are a satisfied customer. If they dont have it, they will look it up and try to find it. Also, the store is very clean and organize and finding things are easy to do.

Overpriced. Overstreet would slap them. Like I went to 3 shops in one day. 2 places had a specific comic for $1, comic relief had it for $5. The dude at the counter had headphones in and seemed pretty upset when I disturbed him to ask a question. "What do you want" - clerk at comic relief

The shop itself is very small. Quaint. However, they boast an immense selection of older and obscure titles. If you are looking for something you cant find in your run of the mill "down town" comics stores you are likely to score here.

very helpful staff they really care about there customers and they have a great selection of graded books Friday night magic starts at 7pm so if you get out of work at 6pm you can still get some good fnm time

These guys know their stuff. Always an interesting discussion going on. Whether you go in every Wednesday or once in a great while, in some ways its more like a hangout or second home than just a store.

Awesome experience. I am new to the world of comics and these guys were happy to explain and assist. Ive only been to a few other stores, and the selection here is much better.

Good store. Been going to there for years. Clean, lots of back issues. Well organized. Some back issues a bit high. But selection makes up for that.

I found some of the greatest collectables here. Sonic the Hedgehog and Rockman merchandise that I can now sell for hundreds. Thanks, guys!
