So today was the first time I ventured to this comic book store and I must say I was thoroughly impressed, kid in a candy store is an understatement, so many books, so happy and everything in the world just felt right!!

Really cool place! The two guys are full of comic book knowledge! Made my ten year old daughter comfortable and showed her right where to go for what she was looking for. Even game her some insight on what to look for in the future.

This is a great find for any Magic The Gathering whale. Great inventory that isnt readily sold off their website. Varieties of collectors boxes/singles that are unavailable at other places. Prices are fair compared to market. Staff is eager and lots of them. Owner/boss spoke w me at length at a busy time, seems like a great place. Made a large purchase and was very happy. Lots to look at in the store in regards to comics/other TCGs.

If you have never been, you need to go. Especially if you want to complete your Funko sets. They have a lot of Funkos.

Really nice store to go for comics, mtg cards & figures. My last visit I purchased a couple figures and they had everything I was looking for, one of the staff behind the counter actually came out into the store and helped me find one of the items which was awesome! Endless supply of comics and very nice, clean store. The staff are always super courteous and welcome me when I walk in. Ive been going for a couple years now and I live quite a ways away but its always well worth the drive.

Staff was very helpful, and to see funko pops of some 90s music artists really took me back. I never knew they had that type of funko pop I always thought it was just movie and TV show ones. I definitely recommend going if you are a collector of comics or funko pops you wont be disappointed at all.

Its a nice shop.Stopped in while waiting to get my vehicle serviced.Kinda got the feeling like they wished I wasnt in there, as if I was interrupting a secret conversation or something, but overall its a really nice shop with lots of merchandise.

Love walking into this store every week. The Staff and Owner are very friendly and helpful. They manage this Pokemon madness very well by setting fair limits for each customer to make sure everyone has a chance to open some packs. My wife and I both collect so its our Go To store from here on!

Great selection of comics, they always seem to have a surplus. The guest service is lacking, to say the least. The past few times Ive been there the staff seemed distracted with their friends. Other than that its a great place to get comics

I had never heard of this place until I accidently discovered it while my wife was shopping in a nearby store.Walking in, I was equally intimidated and joyous at the same time. And I realized how much Batman I need to catch up on.The staff answered questions and pointed me in the right direction. I was impressed.This is a destination spot worth the drive. And Im catching up on the world of Batman

They have a marvelous selection of items from D&D to Little Golden Books for kids... Id give them 10 starts if I could!

Review №13

Not sure why the owner is so rude. Im honestly appaled at how I was treated over the phone. My husband & I shop here very consistently when it comes to mtg & comics. I called the game preserve about the same strixhaven products and they were so nice to me.

One employee has extensive knowledge of MTG. However not much knowledge to be shared amongst the others. They will refuse your money if they are soon to close even if the product is in front of them and you are spending hundreds. They will charge premium for mildly damaged product if the product is in demand. However they have sold damaged product at full price without any disclosure. Inspect the product thoroughly before purchase.They will speak disrespectfully at the customers expense until they feel satisfied with themselves. 50/50 positive/negative with this shop.

This place has a great selection of comics and awesome customer serviceUnfortunately I went in for just Pokémon cards & the singles they have are a little out of my price point for vintage cards

Love everything about this place. Could spend hours and thousands of dollars in here every visit and not regret it ever. Will return again and again...actually pretty salty at myself for waiting 18 months after moving to the area to visit. Staff was also amazing 👏

One of the Best Comic Shops in Indianapolis, and arguably one of the best comic shops in the Midwest. Widest variety of comics and magazines Ive ever seen.

Review №33

This shop is everything wrong with Pokémon right now. DO NOT BUY POKÉMON PRODUCTS FROM HERE. They get products from suppliers and sell at scalper prices, in some cases 2x msrp. Shops like this are the reason that Pokémon cards can only be found at exorbitant prices. Will never spend money here again as I will not contribute to helping them ruin the hobby.

Review №36

I went here in hopes of finding the ultrapro card holders and literally as soon as I walked in the door there is a giant section of them! All sizes and top loaders as well! They sell the top loaders individually which is super nice and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They were also a very good price-- a lot of people actually sell this kind of stuff online but I wanted to check a store to see if it was cheaper than ordering them and it was! I was very happy with the experience!

Review №50

Unfortunately negative overrides positive experience. Its always fun to be able to relax and enjoy some strategic nights of magic cards but when a store employee takes and gives you 25% value on a card sale to insult you. Then goes and tells other members of his family and friends to harrass and insult you as you go around to enjoy a vacation style release. Not only does it add insult to injury but makes you regret from being hospitable to individuals like dare. Whos incompetence starts to become a burden on an otherwise wholesome enviroment.

By far the best comic shop around. All the employees are fun to talk to and helpful. They have just about everything you can think of, and they host many different clubs and card games every week.

Nice place with lots of selection. They seem to have shrunk their board game selection so not a fan of that, but to each their own.

This is a great place for comic books, pop figures, and random tidbits, and if you are into card games like magic the gathering. The only downside was the enthusiasm of the employees is slightly low.

My husband is a huge fan of this store.He likes to come here to look around on slow weekends and swallow himself whole in all the board games, comics, and whatever have him. Its a clean store, really informative staff!We adore it! 10/10 would recommend.

Review №63

Usually my go to comic book spot, and it never disappoints with new releases. Plus they have an extensive collection of tradebacks with a decent set of statues as well. My only real hangup is their back stock of older single issues. I wish they had more, but thats a small nitpick in the grand scheme. The events they throw come together well, and the staff is always ready to help without being invasive. I always enjoy stopping by and seeing what they have and what I can find to add to my collection.

Out of all of the comic book stores in Indianapolis, this one is my favorite. Its always clean, and always has what I need. Staff is knowledgeable about almost everything they have in stock and are always willing to help.

Review №65

Huge selection! They always have what I am looking for or I sometimes go in to browse and eventually find one that looks like it would be good and I usually go with the series ones, not so much only one comic in this collection type of thing. Plus the smell is very satisfying! I go there every 6 months for the next Walking Dead, if not sooner to get others that I read.

Review №66

My only stop for comics. I went to their previous location years back, and this one definitely gives them more breathing room. Warning: its easy to get lost in there and make an awfully long wish list 😎

Wanna play games here? Cool! Wanna get some decent comics? Nice! Got the money for snack? Even better! But the owners temper at more times than not? Kick rocks. Every other time I have to do business with him, hes rude and disrespectful. Brings the entire value of the store down for me. Thanks a lot dude. 👎🏽

This is a great store, not only for comic books, but figures, toys, games, card games, back issues, and much more. They have room for Pokemon leagues and tournaments, as well as other card games. A board game night (check out their calendar) and other special events. The owner and staff are knowledgeable about way too much and happy to help out. If you would like, they can pull comics for you as well. Just an all around great place.

Lots of comic books and POP figures, but what gaming stuff they had was pretty much only AD&D 5tg edition and they stated at us like we were nuts when we asked for other stuff. They didnt greet us upon entering nor when we were looking at items behind the counter. Not very friendly.

I visit this shop twice a year for gaming events and more recently to pick up some comics as a gift. As someone who is completely clueless about comics, the staff was very helpful at helping me understand what I was buying.The store is well kept and the event space is clean. Will be happy to come back in future for any other comic needs.
