I was so excited to visit this store for the first time, but sadly, it will be my last. When I…read morewalked in, I was immediately drawn to the back wall with their higher-end raw books, but was shocked to see multiple Amazing Spider-Man #1s priced at $80!! Folks, this is a $25 book all day on eBay. The closer I looked around the store, the trend unfortunately continued. Every single book I saw was 100-300% over FMV. I'm shocked they sell anything outside of the $4 new releases. It's sad when the comic book stores become the scalpers...

I found a death of Gwen Stacy comic here! Nuff said. But since Yelp needs more info here goes…read more It has some stuff to dig through, do so and you'll probably find something good!

Thom's is such a cool shop. While it doesn't have a huge footprint, it packs a lot of punch in the…read morespace it has. Thom is extremely nice and knowledgeable; heck, I'd go back just to chat with him. The selection was good; I found some back issues I had been struggling to find at other shops, and Thom bags and boards everything so the condition was top notch. He even took an extra 10% off the top on the comics I bought, which I so appreciated (standard discount on comics I believe, but do ask him)! Important to note - the shop is cash only and has been for a long time. There are ATMs at nearby shops, so don't let it deter you from stopping by. Great value, amazing service, and fantastic selection. Nothing more you could want in your local comic store. I look forward to shopping here again.

These guys had prints that I haven't been able to locate at other shops, and everything was extremely well organized. Books were in great condition, and the staff were so kind and helpful. Very much a "reader's" comic shop, but they have tables set up for your D&D game or Magic or really whatever your fancy is. Best of all, the prices are fair, and you'd be hard pressed to find a better value in the area. I'll definitely be back. I would die for more time to dig through their back issues.

I wanted to like this place -- the location is nice and most of the staff were friendly and…read morehelpful. Unfortunately, several experiences left me really disappointed. First, their store credit policy makes no sense: you can't use it on "premium" items, which defeats the purpose of having store credit at all. On top of that, when I sold them some premium Magic: The Gathering cards, the prices I was given were for the wrong versions. Because I had my three kids with me at the time, I didn't notice until later, but it felt dishonest and not worth the argument. What bothered me most, though, was how they treated me as a newer customer. I stood waiting for about 15 minutes with my kids while staff ignored me to casually chat and eat with tournament patrons who weren't even doing business at the time. They had recognized me, but still dismissed me while I was clearly trying to complete a transaction. It made me feel like my time -- and my business -- weren't valued. Most of the staff were nice, but the older bald gentleman was rude and dismissive, which really stood out. Between the poor credit rules, the card pricing issue, and the way I was treated as a customer, I can't recommend Thunder Comics. If they want to encourage more sales and playtime in their store, they should focus more on being fair, welcoming, and attentive -- especially to new customers

They run a constant stream of TCG - Trading Card Games and while some of the players play in offical tournaments, you can still have lots of fun and the other players don't mind helping you and answering questions to help improve your game play and deck (but you may have to wait until the game ends!) D&D organized play goes on during the week and some weekends and amazingly is still FREE, even though the store is providing you with the space to play. The only reason I give them 4 stars is because I wish they would have a larger inventory of Role Playing Games (like D&D) but until more people are buying these products I understand that they cannot increase their inventory. Some of the Products sold: 1. D&D, Burning Wheel, Traveller, GammaWorld, Pathfinder, 2. Specialized board games that you cannot find in normal stores 3. TCG, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, EDH/Commander, Pokemon, 4. Miniatures: Warhammer 40K, Star Wars: X-Wing, Infinity, Mars Attacks, Relic Knights, Imperial Assault 5. Comic Books 6. Dice, some miniatures for D&D and RPG's. and much, much more! Best of all, when the original store was going to close and there were no other gaming stores within 20 miles, Bear purchased the store, kept it open and gave us all a place to play for 5 years and running now. That alone causes me to be a loyal NGiT follower! Also, I help run the D&D Encounters and D&D Expeditions games at the store.

The guy at the front counter is so helpful an his service In helping find something in the store is amazing also when you buy comics from there you can trade them in for different ones which is so nice cause I wanted to read a long series but only had enough for around 4 comics at the time so I bought the three comics and returned them so I could finish the series. Also they have action figures from marvel and I forget maybe DC. Also the quality of the comics are amazing no bends or scratches so overall this is an amazing comic store and I love going 5 stars all around a d I really hope for this business to continue.
