Reviews here seem mixed, but Ill share my experience. We went in yesterday evening to check if they had any heroclix. We looked around and they had a pretty good selection of boardgames, a massive selection of comics, and a small wall of heroclix. No complaints. The two men working didnt aknowledge us when we walked in, which kind of threw us for a loop. They were talking about soccer and drinking I believe. We got to the heroclix area and its behind a small glass counter with some of the more expensive, rare heroclix in the counter itself. Looked at those ones for a minute, then wanted to look at the ones we could actually afford and justify buying. Behind this counter was just a shelf of 10-20 different packs of heroclix. There was also some clutter so it didnt seem like a sales station or a restricted area. Naturally, we were looking at them. Still no aknowledgement from the staff. Kind of felt awkward like we werent welcomed. Until finally, one guy aknowledges us with a "uh guys, whatcha doing back there?". I replied we were looking at the heroclix to which he tells us were not allowed back there.... Ok. It made me and my friend very uncomfortable. We were both clearly in plain site just looking at the characters. Now if there were rules clearly stated not to pass a line or a worker was standing there actually doing his job and helping us see these things, I would understand. But their conversation was more important than helping what would have been paying customers. Personally I dont plan on stopping here again. Big Fun on High has comic books and the staff is much better, and the Soldiery and the Guard Tower are both much better in terms of boardgame and tabletop collections. Plus, both establishments seem to aknowledge their guests.

Its a nice little shop with a good selection for the size they are, I dont care for comics but I do care about Magic the Gathering and other games. Prices are a bit on the high side, still not unreasonable though, but thats expected for a place in the convention center. They sell some Japanese sweets there too, but Id recommend youd go to one of Columbus many Asian grocery stores instead if you want that kind of thing.

I called ahead about selling some cards and they said they were interested. I drove in, about an hour drive one way, and after about 10 minutes sorting through my multiple decks they decided they wernt interested in a single card. This is also after I had to pay for parking garage parking. They DID however have a huge comic book selection. So if thats what youre after youll be happy.

Extremely rude staff. Went it Sunday during Ohyacon 2015. There werent that busy but insisted on being short with me when asking a question. And then proceeded to make fun of my costume as I was walking away after making a purchase for me and my wife. Not the type of people who should be running a comic book store.

I went here just to check it out. The staff basicly ignored me, and seemed annoyed when i asked them questions. Their selection of MtG cards is tiny, and retro games even smaller. Everything is overpriced beyond reason. I wouldnt come back. Especialy since parking costs $10.

Good collection of comics, and other cool collectables (Some really random cool stuff will pop up from time to time). I have them pull all my favorites so that I have no issues with them being sold out when I get there. Staff is friendly and loves to talk comics.

I go there weekly! They are the only store I know that bags and boards all of their comics (especially the new releases!) without charging extra. They also have a good selection of retro video and board games.

Incredible location (in the convention center) and knowledgeable staff made for a great visit here. Nice place to pick up a comic or settle in for a card game.

Friendly staff, willing to order things in for me. Lots of comics, games, and other wares. Every time I go in I see something new that catches my eye!

They carry many of my memories from the early 90s in the form of comics and originally packaged action figures. Plus so much more.
