I first visited Keep It Strange Comics back in 2024. I've been meaning to go back for some time. I…read moreattempted to do so this morning - and discovered the location was empty. A quick search on the interwebs indicated the store had moved to a new location on the other side of Manassas. So off I went! The new location feels quite a bit large on the inside. They also have a snack bar with they sell food and drinks at certain times - and they have a large gaming room with plenty of tables and chairs! Looks like a good place for some D&D sessions! I bought a set of mini D&D dice to commemorate my visit to the new location. Paid with Apple Pay. #KeepItStrangeComicsAndCollectibles

As i am driving home i open the game and the disk is the wrong game. I drive back expecting the disk maybe in another case, its not. They would not give me a refund but instead a store credit. I asked them if they could check and they tell me no and that there is no chance the game is in the back or in the other game cases(terrible customer service)They seal their games and as a customer i have no clue the condition of the game or if the game is the right game.

When I was a little kid and a…read moreteenager - I used to read a lot of comic books - my favorites were: The Avengers, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Spider Man, Captain America, and Thor. The fact that Marvel has released so many cool superhero movies in recent years has also renewed my interest in re-reading a lot of the old story lines. They carry a wide selection of comic books and graphic novels. If they don't have what you are looking for - ask if they can order it for you.

I really often don't like fan and game stores but this one does it well. An absolute great gamut of…read morefan and throwbacks across all the 80-90-00's material for toys and games, comics. Front and back with free to play arcade games means you can make a bit of time of it, hit the nearby brunch then wander down either memory or fandom lanes. A good showing here and well curated that shows they get it, without seeming like they're "too" interested in the odd hyper price hike cash grab in the space in some of the fandom frenzy areas. Pleasant surprise for a very simple expectation on the outside.

I was surprised by how large Tosche Station Echo Base is. The store is split into two rooms: the…read morefront room is dedicated to toys and collectibles, while the back room is packed with comics. They have a huge selection of action figures, statues, used video games, retro video games, and, of course, comics. The comic room has a ton of back issues, organized primarily by publisher--Marvel, DC, and independent. There are also several random long boxes without labels, along with a table containing several boxes labeled "Keys." There were also 3-4 short boxes of "key issues" scattered around the checkout counter. Fair warning: these boxes aren't particularly organized. Saying they're "loosely alphabetized" would probably be giving them too much credit. That said, if you enjoy digging through boxes looking for hidden gems, this can be a fun place to treasure hunt--as long as you have the time and patience. I'm a Spawn collector, and the designated Spawn section only had a handful of issues. However, I ended up finding several more Spawn issues scattered throughout the "Key" boxes on the table in the back. I even found more in the "Key" boxes at the checkout counter. I think consolidating all of these boxes into one organized area would make the shopping experience much better. It's fun finding unexpected issues, but when you're specifically hunting for something, it can be frustrating when the boxes aren't organized or alphabetized. As for pricing, the comics are generally priced fairly. Some of the variants and key issues are priced a bit on the high side, though, so it's worth knowing your values before making a purchase. The back room also has a free-to-play arcade cabinet, which is a nice bonus and adds to the retro vibe. The staff was nice and very helpful, which made the visit even better. Overall, this is a great spot for collectors who enjoy the treasure-hunt experience. If you have some time to spend digging through boxes, you never know what you might uncover. Just be prepared to do some serious hunting! ‍

I have been going to McKay Used Books for many years now. As a teacher, I really like seeking out…read morechildren books and teacher books.

Now don't just wander, be sure to buy those good books!

HUGE used book store and well worth the drive!…read more Their trade in process was really straightforward - when you walk in there's a trade in counter where they ask you to put your books into bins. I had one large bag that I sorted between two bins, one for books and the other for single issue comics and DVDs/non-books. About 45 minutes later I got a text that my trade-in was ready. I came back to the same counter after browsing the store and they offered me in-store credit or a lower amount in cash. They also returned the items they didn't want and I had the option to take them with me or leave them as a donation. I think it was a fair deal for what I donated, and I opted for the in-store credit. The store has a great mix of used books, dvds, comics, vinyl, and more that's pretty well organized. I will say there's a fair amount of duplicates of certain titles and it was interesting that some were priced higher than others - so check all the labels! In general the prices were reasonable with a few exceptions - I saw a really worn copy of a new hardback that they were selling for the list price ($35!) even though it had been out long enough that other books sellers were discounting it already. But then I also got a box set of dvds for $10 and a bunch of kids books for $0.50-2.00. It was easy to spend that in-store credit!

Tons of comics, a small amount of Dungeons & Dragons books, and some Funko Pops and other figurines. I bought an Avengers comic collection. Service was good, paid with Apple Pay. #TheAmazingComicShop

I found myself wishing there was something more to do here than just buy comics because I wanted to hang around after my purchase just to geek out with them a bit on their tastes and why they were into the things they liked, etc. Their website could use a bit of work, but I'll try to hunt around for information that might give me an excuse to hang out there more often.

Nice selection of comics, graphic novels, anime, funko-pops etc. Not a huge selection of back issues (no $1 Bins) that I saw. Overall, a nice Comic Shop worth checking out.

I asked if they would come down to market price and was told they never come down on price Needless to say I walked out and hit buy from TCG on my phone.

As others have noted - this is a pretty small store. It might be the smallest comic book store I've seen in the area. But - small is not necessarily a negative. They have a good selection of comics.

After perusing the store - I did not find anything I wanted, but I'll have to drag a couple of my nerdy comic book friends over to check the place out and get their take on the place. #BigPlanetComics

I believe you can bring in your used CDs, tapes, and albums and sell them to Dragon Song, I'd check on the details first before hauling a bunch of stuff over there. The proprietor of the shop was telling me that he is seeing a huge resurgence in vinyl. I used to visit the old location - this was my first time at the new location - and quite frankly - until I stumbled across the new location, I thought they had gone out of business! Very cool shop!
