What's even crazier, is that during said events, you're never pressured to buy anything. How do they make a profit? I'm not sure either. But it seems like their business model is more along the lines of providing a space that makes people feel happy and welcome and then worrying about that finance stuff later. Seriously though, the place is super welcoming and patient with nerds of all types. Whether you're dipping your toes into nerd culture or want to dive in face first, they've had an answer and anecdote for nearly every geeky genre that has ever pique a nerd's interest. Highly recommend the D&D games though. They're super fun and very patient with beginner players and even welcome new walk-ins during the middle of campaigns.

This was a wonderful comic book store established in a basement setting, with wooden frame shelves…read morefilled with lots of comic books. The variety span across all different realms and universes, Marvel, DC obviously and some other less known ones. They also had sets of comic books, big posters, Pokemon cards. All the items had a decent price, the sets were little high price, since they were combination of a bunch. We bought a kids story book for our daughter, it was about Loki. The gentleman at the register was super friendly. The POS machine wasn't working, so we paid cash. Overall it a nice store to visit for comic fans.

I already knew it was gonna be a good place. Kids section at the front. My 5yo picked out "Loki Loki where are you?" She loves it!! Many collectible items and comics through out the store. Posters wrapped and boarded nicely for carrying out. I would say the price is fair for the collectible. Loki book was maybe $7? The guy at the counter was very nice. I didn't ask any questions but I saw him directing a young lady to a specific section. Overall it's really nice and relaxing in the store. Spacious and quiet.

It's this: Do I have to prove myself to be "worthy" to be in their store? The places that make me cringe are the ones that treat me like the fake geek girl stereotype and ignore or quiz me. The places I love are the ones where the staff has a conversation with me, asks me what I am interested in, gives great suggestions - or you know, just treats me like a human. Casablanca has always been welcoming. I used to frequent the Portland store when I moved to Maine. I had not read much in the way of comics, and they were great to me. Thirteen years later, I am still not an expert, but my fandoms and tastes have been able to carve a path, and they are still amazing to talk to. The store in Windam is a bit bigger, and I hope it gets the customers out there it deserves. Plenty of offerings, well organized, and just friendly. The staff just simply cares about comics, graphic novels and the fringe things that come with it. I have never felt judged or less than there, and unfortunately, that is rare with comic and game shops.

I was thrilled to find them open on a Sunday afternoon, as a lot of other places weren't open for tourism yet. The guy behind the counter was friendly and helpful. My wife and I found some great Star Wars and horror comics, which was awesome, as where we are staying has no cell or wifi service. If we have another thunder storm and get stuck in the cabin, we'll be headed back to re-stock. Over all, it's a decent comic book store, with a good selection and knowledgeable, friendly staff. This is refreshing, as I'm not your typical comic collector and have had run-ins with holier-than-throw, neck-beards, from other shops in the past.

Personally, I like the way the Falmouth store is laid out more (having so many staff and neighbor recommendations immediately at the front of the store). This Sherman's in Topsham feels like it wants you to do your own exploring; it's cleverly/cheekily organized (make sure to look at the bookshelves titles). We were here for at least an hour just leisurely looking through the bookshelves, before making another lap, and another... I'm sure we could have been here even longer, and no one would have minded. It helps that they have chairs throughout! From what I understand, this Sherman's does an exceptional job with special orders, so if you're looking for something specific, reach out to these folks! The staff seemed *very* selectively friendly (I wasn't on the receiving end of that warmth, but I watched them have welcoming, neighborly banter with other customers [regulars, I'm guessing]). This is one of those places you WANT to sign up for their rewards program: you just need to give them your name and phone number and for every $200 you spent you get $10 a credit!

The store was neatly organized and well stocked, like most Bull Moose stores. The staff was super attentive and friendly. You can tell they are well liked by customers/community - they seemed to know everyone that was in there. We just had a quick visit to pick up an online order. It was fast and so easy. The person that helped us was really nice and we could hear that she had a cold of some kind - so I was relieved to see that she was wearing a mask in consideration of others. There were a lot of elderly customers while we were there and I can't imagine an illness would be helpful. The prices, especially for newer releases are very competitive even against giants like amazon. And it's supports Bull Moose - locally owned with much better customer service than big box. They also have never cancelled a pre-order on us, unlike other big retailers. Bonus - their loyalty program is AWESOME!!!!!
