I stop in every week to pick up my comic books and I'm always greeted with a smile and a hello from the owners. Together they have both created an atmosphere of awesome for anyone who wants to learn a new game, join and ongoing game league or just to buy a few comics. I've never found a better store to get my geek on.

I'm new and an outsider to the world of comics and gaming, but I'd never know it from the way Carla…read moreand Don treated me. My boyfriend has been a regular at the store for years, and I went with him to pick up his pull list this past weekend. There were people chatting at the counter when we came in, so Carla didn't see that I was with anyone when I entered the store. She was sure to ask me if I needed help with anything, which is a first in the slew of comic and game shops I've been to recently. The shop is set up with different rooms devoted to your interest, with comics in one wing and games in another, and more general books and collectibles merchandise in the main room where you enter. If you head to the back, you'll find space for game playing and where Don is organizing his back stock of comics. The shop on the whole is bright and colorful, and I felt totally welcome to browse. Don and Carla had a nice word for everyone who came in the store, and it was pretty clear that they have a small army of loyal customers. The outside of the store isn't much to look at - it's situated in an industrial-looking strip mall - but don't let that deter you from the checking out their cozy shop. Even if you're not a full-on geek, there are still things for you here - several of their games are great for a game night with friends.

Legitimately my favorite spot to find dice, minis, maps, paint, board games, and tons more! I…read morestopped in twice last week and happily purchased SO MUCH. I would have spent more, but the last time I was in, there was an unpleasant young lady behind the counter who I apparently inconvenienced by grabbing more items when I didn't get what I was hoping for from the Ravenloft blind box. She wasn't afraid to tell me so. Outside of that individual, The Sanctum is like Shangri-La for TTRPG fans.

We weren't certain if they'd have it since the game was only released that day. They did! We were so impressed, we stopped by later with our son and checked the store out. Their inventory was quite impressive. They had games of all types as well as other items like dice, card protectors, and puzzles. They also had an impressive selection of games to rent--we're not sure what game to rent first! Also, their collection of used games is diverse and well-priced. Finally, their gaming area is attractive. It's well-lit with comfortable seating. Each time we came in, we were greeted by a friendly staff. In fact, when I was pondering a game they had open and on display, an employee came over to explain the game to me. Very helpful. We'll definitely be spending more time (and money) at the Sanctum. What a great place!! (Update, Six months later: As we expected, six Sanctum has successfully prompted us to spend more money on games and game-adjacent items. The owners are wonderful--we've taken several of their recommendations and no regrets. The space has matured and morphed, and we love the changes. We've rented games, tried a game night, joined their frequent buyers program, bought and sold used games, and purchased numerous gifts for gamers and non-gamers. Sometimes we stop in just because we love the vibe of the place. We did that last night and bought the early release of the Wingspan expansion. Couldn't be happier to have them in the neighborhood!)

I came into today during my visit to Milwaukee to pick up some comics I've been searching for for…read moreyears. John was super patient and looked for every single comic I asked for thoroughly. The comics I bought were in mint condition and some of them were total steals! I was shocked to get a comic worth almost $50 for just $15. This was the most organised comic book store I've ever been to and I really appreciated the cozy atmosphere. I also loved that they had a nice comfy couch for my parents to relax on while I was getting my comics. Would totally recommend this spot if you're hunting for specific comics!!

Going to Collector's Edge makes me miss my old favorite comic shop in Seattle. It just looks,…read morefeels, and even smells like a great comic shop. I went in twice while visiting family in Milwaukee, and both times walked out of Collector's Edge with unexpected surprises and long sought-after additions to my collection. I was especially happy that, while they certainly carry plenty of the standard superhero comics from Marvel and DC, there's also an excellent selection of the independent titles I tend to prefer. And perhaps my favorite thing - to find the good stuff, you should be willing to hunt a bit. While I'm sure the staff would be only too happy to help point you in the direction of something you're looking for, if you have the time to explore for yourself Collector's Edge will reveal its many treasures to you. So while Zanadu, my old favorite place to shop for comics in Seattle, closed its doors years ago, it's good to know that good old-fashioned comic shops like Collector's Edge keep their tradition going.

There is a small retail section in front for those who wish to purchase games, but there is a massive selection of games to use while you're there, we were told over 950 games! There is an adequately sized menu to cover standard gaming fare, as well as beverage options to cover most tastes and ingredient intolerances Our group ordered a sugar free vanilla latte, unsweetened ice tea, bottled water, and a pizza. The pizza is made in-house and is pretty good. A soft hand-tossed crust topped with a tasty sauce, and we added slightly spicy sausage and pepperoni. I would definitely order it again! The service was excellent despite being a busy with one person handling the guest check-ins, order taking, order delivery, and checking guests out. There is currently a $7 cover charge, which I will assume covers the use of the 950+ games, and is a bargain. You are allowed to bring in your own games, but I assume you can't bring in your own food or drink, but I didn't ask because why would I? We want to support a small business, so buying drinks and food is the least I can do, since they let us have access to all of their games. Overall, we had a great experience, and we will be back! Highly recommend!
