Trip Report - Strongsville Ground Zero Comics and Cards (and Games). Ground Zero Comics and Cards. The pictures will show you just how cool this place is. The statues and large figures and displays will just knock your socks off. Also deep in new comics, recent back issues, magic the gathering and other card games and board games. Plus cool paintable figures and all the supplies you would ever Need.. Definitely worth the drive you’re sure to find something cool.

Best comic/game/card/general nerd-outpost in Ohio. If you go in here looking for something, you will find it. If you go in with no idea, you’ll come out with something. Great atmosphere, great selection, fantastic owner. Ive found my home comic book store, and couldn’t be happier about it. 10/10 recommend to any and everyone!

Definitely my favorite place to spend money! The shop always has what I’m looking for plus more, and the owner is amazing and makes it a great experience every time. By far the best local comic shop around!

Went in to purchase premium collectible figures. I asked the man working the front counter if I could go take a closer look at a premium format figure I was thinking of purchasing and he chuckled and told me I could not. As I told him I was thinking of purchasing it on my way out then he proceeded to tell me I could take a look. What a joke. Lost a good sale and a customer. I know most people can’t afford these types of collectibles, but don’t assume everyone can’t afford it or are “just looking.” I drove an hour to come look at the inventory with the intention of not just buying one, but possibly several items.

Certified scalper, he wanted $300 for a product that retails at $129.99. He said quote “if I don’t then my customers make all the money.” I went out of my way to support a local business and was not treated very well.

Review №11

Great place. Excellent stock. Helpful staff. But although he was helpful, the comic book guy let his opinion known that he didnt like what I was looking for because he didnt seem to care for the people it was catered too. No biggie, but constructively, some may have been offended. Ill be back to buy more though

Its a great comic shop and game shop. They also have some newer back issues and the guy at the counter was so nice. The only problem I have is that the back issues are all around the store lol. But over all great place

The best store for anything gaming or nerd like. Owner has a great selection of board games & card games. Really knowledgeable guy & nice guy who will always help his customers out, especially with any pre order product. On top of that has a great selection of comics & graphic novels, and will pre order graphic novels in advance if you ask. Lastly keeps a pretty good stock of other assorted nerdy memorabilia that adds a great vibe to the store.

This place is a treasure trove. They always seem to have the minis/books/games that are hard-to-find elsewhere, and the owner is extremely knowledgeable. Let him know what comics you like and ask him for recommendations!

Marcus is the real deal. Hes always friendly, has knowledge about everything he sells, has fair prices, and is just a genuinely good dude. I couldnt recommend this place enough for a great many things from MtG, D&D, minis, comics, games, and more. Do yourself a favor and go check it out.

I have stopped at this place a couple times over the last month. Every time I went they are very helpful and quick with what you want to get. Had every card I wanted for a standard deck I was buildingbesides a couple which is understandable due to the card being in Zendikar Rising which has been passed out not to long ago. Highly recommend

Owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of D&D products at good prices. Has a great atmosphere. The only thing I would say is dont leave half opened boxes on the floor especially where people have to get through to the gaming tables. All in all, still worth 5 stars and my money. 😊

Review №44

The owner is always friendly and the selection for Dungeons and dragons source material and accessories is glorious. The comics selection is good, and if you like Magic the Gathering, Ground Zero will scratch that itch. I also love the selection of statues. He has everything from small to life size (which he refers to as divorce packages). He also has a selection of games available for play testing in store. I could keep going, but suffice it to say, stop in, and you wont leave disappointed.

Review №45

This is one of the sweetest comic books stores Ive been in, in quite a long time.The owner knows what hes done about, as we had a seamless cross genre conversation, and he never missed a beat.On top of a full portfolio of comics from various brands, he has what I believe could be the biggest trading card catalogues in the area; with a full area for games and tournaments.If comic and cinematographic collectables is your thing, he has that in spades, from life save characters to miniatures .I suggest you check this out!

Ground zero is one of the coolest stores around the area. Nerdgasm central if you will. The owner is a pretty nifty guy also. I tried to get him to play cross the streams once, he busted my ghost. 10 out of 10 will return

Review №48

One of the best shops to find what you need.Tabletop games, comics, D&D dice/books/figures, collectibles and rare finds, events with prizes. Reasonable prices and a relaxed environment. Marcus is always helpful and resourceful. Ive been going here for over a year now and its hard finding another comparable store as awesome as Ground Zero Comics.

I have been going to ground zero since high school. Graduating class of 2000. First mtg tournament was there. This place has always made me feel better just knowing Im going there. I grew up in Parma OH but now live in Nashville TN. Every trip home is a trip to ground zero. Best prices I have found from Nashville to lake Erie. So much to spend money on. Great tables to play on. Best comic/collector store ever!!!! The owner of this store should be the post child of what an owner and store should be. Thank you for everything. Please continue making the world a better place. See you next time maybe October.

Review №55

If youre a female and you go in by yourself you will be completely ignored. I asked the owner about Pokemon cards once and if he knew where I could get my collection appraised. He was very short with me and spoke to me like I was wasting his time. However when Im in there with my brother or boyfriend hell have full conversations with them. I love comic book stores and they have a huge collection of D&D gear but I never feel welcomed there.

The owner did his best to recommend some good comics to me. This place isnt really a comic shop though, most of the space is dedicated to tabletop gaming. That being said, he knew his stuff and I def enjoyed the volumes I picked up.

Review №63

Poorly displayed stock and lazy staff. On the upside they had some decent sales on trade paperbacks and game books (20% off cover price) however I constantly felt like I was about to trip and fall as there was merchandise and boxes strewn all over the floor. Very unprofessional. I may only return if I cant find a better deal elsewhere. I have better options. Step it up or suffer the same fate as many other brick and mortar stores.

We go to play games and shop around every week or so, and our group loves it! Markus always has what we want, and if he doesnt he will order it. Very chill and inviting atmosphere, best prices out there, kind owner. Gets busy on the weekends, but its always my first stop for all my nerd needs 🤓

Smaller store, but they have everything you might be looking for when it comes to tabletop games or comic books. If there is something you can not find they will be more then happy to order it for you. I have been getting into D&D and the miniature and they have a wide selection and the paints to go with it, I will keep going there if I need anything else. We have also been going there for card expansions for Cards Against Humanity and Exploding Kittens. Great store welcoming atmosphere.

Traveled here today...interesting at best, I enjoyed talking to the owner. He seemed to be an open book, full of what I can imagine to be great knowledge in his field. However, I wouldnt search for certain cards here as they always and forever remain a mystery.

Best comic shop in town, with a great selection of comics and a wide variety of games (from tabletop books to board games to CCGs). Loads of collectibles, from action figures to Pops to beautiful Sideshow pieces. Magic tournaments several nights weekly, and Adventurers League D&D once a week.The proprietor knows his customer base, and is spot on with recommendations.Seriously, if you havent been here, you are missing out!

Been all over the US, and this is by far one e of the best shops Ive been in. Large selection of everything from board games to MTG. Room for people to talk and play.

The owner and operator Markus is a friendly guy who handles business interactions efficiently and with an eye for customer satisfaction. The location is always getting fresh inventory in while maintaining a very well established geek-chic. While play space can get tight a clear dedication to play area is fantastic to see. I dont get to stop by very often but its always a pleasure.

Review №90

Ground Zero is my go-to store for everything Magic the Gathering now. In an area that has quite a few card/comic shops, I dont mind at all to travel a little bit further to come here instead of anywhere else. Marcus (the owner) is super cool, and not condescending like many of the other owners in the area. He has a nice selection of cards and the prices are great. The events are run well, and the competition is solid. Ground Zero also has a ton of other things outside of MTG...comics, boardgames, and other collectibles.

Review №91

Ground Zero is the best comic book shop in Cleveland, based on selection and service. Marcus is great, and always willing to look something up or order something for you! Far roomier than any other local shop Ive been to, and his selection of games/cards/comics/action figures/statues/etc. cannot be compared to by any other shop in the Cleveland area.The main reason I love Ground Zero and continue to purchase there despite now being more than 30 minutes away is because of how great Marcus is! He is a class above in friendliness, knowledge, and dedication to his craft and industry.

Ground zero is the perfect place to get your gaming gear. The owner is incredibly friendly, the place is chock full, and his prices cant be beat by anyone nearby. He often beats the online retailers prices, and whats more, hes a friendly local game store. Support local, and support Ground Zero.
