I was next door getting lunch and thought I'd stop by. I've had my eye on this store for a bit now, and decided to look around while my food was being prepared. I was open to the Manga I wanted by genre; it was a matter of finding the right one. One, I knew, would keep my attention. My favorite Anime of all time is DeathNote, so I figured this was the perfect selection. Several titles caught my eye, and I look forward to my next visit. The purchase price was reasonable; it was actually a bit less than the cost at some other places, and it was a great buy. The customer service was as I would have expected, courteous and well-versed. read more

The Store We Like but Keep Trying to Replace We've been here several times with both friends and family. It's a large but otherwise typical nerd store: cards, comics, minis, dice, events. It's all here in one crowded, slightly chaotic package. They've got a ton of bulk Pokémon and Magic cards in large, loosely organized drawers you can dig through for hours. You probably won't find anything rare, but it's a good time if you're the type to go treasure hunting for something. There's a decent selection of tabletop minis, paints, tiles, TTRPG books, and board games, nothing mind-blowing, but more than enough to get a new campaign rolling or add to your collection. The manga and comic section is sizable too, though I can't speak to the quality since that's not my scene. Events happen regularly, which is great in theory but a bit awkward in practice if you're not partaking. If you need access to the back wall where the tables are, you'll likely be squeezing past players mid-match. If it's accessible at all. The entrance can also get pretty bottlenecked depending on how many people are milling around. The store's clean enough for a hobby shop, but if you're a germaphobe, maybe bring hand sanitizer. The staff are helpful when asked and otherwise leave you to browse. Every now and then one might get chatty, but not in a bad way. The whole place is welcoming with that typical nerdy vibe you expect from a place like this. It's a very inclusive store, if that's your thing. The prices are as you would expect. If not on the higher side. We like Generation X. They've got the biggest selection of the stuff we're usually hunting for. Still, I don't know why, but we're always looking for an alternative. Maybe it's the clutter, maybe it's the crowding, or the drive. Either way, it's a reliable go-to even if it's not quite "the one." read more

This used to be mine and my husband's favorite game store, but since it got bought out, it is considerably worse. Worse selection, less friendly, less inclusive. There used to be a really nice energy in there and now it just feels hollowed out. read more

We have been going to this store for years. My son loves getting his Pokémon cards there. This morning we purchased a booster pack that when he opened it at home 3 of the 6 packets had been previously opened. We called the store and they basically said tough luck. Just completely dismissed us. There are other comic book stores. Won't be back. read more

well took me and the wife here for the first time. First of all, I'll just say there alot of older man with no kids here in the store and it kind of creepy. The employees could not tell if they worked there of customer.. will not take are kid here read more

I have been to this place several times. They have a great selection of miniatures and the associated paints. My daughter loves looking at all the collections of dice. They have a ton. They have a huge collection of Funkos, Comic Books, Board Games, and Pokemon Cards. read more

I went here for stocking stuffers. I didn't choose the dice life, but married into it. My wife, stepdaughter, and friends are dice goblins, so figured good option for stocking stuffers. One thing I like is that my wife loves the barrel dice (very difficult to find most areas) and found an awesome set that she loved. Another friend loves pride and loved the pride dice I got her her. They even have some amazing rose quartz dice I want to get my wife as well, but they were outside of our current budget, but great price for them anyways. I'll def come here for stuff to give you the people in my life as they'll really like them read more

Great Staff, Great Products, Great Atmosphere. You Cant Ask For More Than That. Definitely Coming Back

The Pop-Copy of Comic Stores. Staff doesn't anything. They didn't know a certain character I was looking at in the Funko Pops, so they just made up a story that it was an amalgam of 2 unrelated characters combined together. It wasn't. The two characters have never met and are not related in any way. Why would you make something up out of thin air when you can just say "I'm not familiar with this character."? Just exposes you for being ignorant, unreliable and untrustworthy. But they make up for their lack of knowledge by being flippant, rude, dismissive and disrespectful to their customers. Wait, that's worse. Go anywhere else instead. Titan Comics in North Dallas, Madness Games and Comics in Plano, the Collected in Hurst, Keith's Comics in Dallas, More Fun Comics in Denton, and Awesome Comics in East Dallas are all better options than this place. read more

Awesome store with a huge selection (D&D in particular, which is my thing) and lots of space. The staff greeted me right as I came in and was friendly. read more

Great selection of any nerd paraphernalia you can imagine, whether it's comics, board or card games, table top rpg supplies. Prices are fair and help was easy to be had if I needed it. read more

Id been coming here for over a week without any problems in service or products. I walk in today to buy a pack of cards and possible trade in some single cards. I ask an older looking man at the counter if they could do pokemon trades today, he responded 'We don't have a buyer' and that was it. After that I wanted to ask a younger looking man there, that ive talk to more than others, and asked what the older man meant. He tried explaining, and I tried to actually show him a small amount of cards that I was talking about. The older man very, and I mean VERY rudely interrupted him with "Didnt I just tell you we didnt have a buyer?". I tried explaining that I was just wanting an explanation on what that meant, "No you were trying to sidestep me". This was the first time I have ever seen this man and he was already being extraordinarily rude. This man was the OWNER??? He was the Owner. If you EVER see a much older man, walk out immediately. He does not care. read more

They have a lot of Pokémon cards. My son had fun looking for cards and there are weekly Pokémon competitions.

Huge store! If you are looking for toys, games or just nerdy stuff you'll find it here. Most important there are lots of comic books! With so much to look at the store is fun to visit and have a very attentive staff. Lots of things did kids. A huge display case for Pokémon cards. Finally a big section for Magic card games. Most important for me are the comics. They care pretty much all comics and graphic novels you can think of and are organized well. The back issues is my favorite thing. There is a well organized area made up of several rows of books! If you love to dig for treasure prepare to stay awhile! It is a bit of a hit and miss with many of the books not even bagged or boarded. But we are talking about minor books for the most part. All of their key books are displayed around the area. Prices are abit on the high side but what else is new. I recommend you visit the store! read more

Awesome place for comics, D&D needs, plushies and funko pops. They had various studio ghibli plushies. Custom bath bombs. Rick and Morty comics. Big selection of dice. I just love that they have a huge selection. They even have a giant pusheen. 10/10. read more

This owner of this store has horrible customer service and is rude deserves no business. I called him to let him know I had a concern about some Pokémon packs I had just purchased. Keep in mind his product is behind the counter no one can get to it except him and his employees! So I bought 10 booster packs and opened 2 they had glue all over them and the third pack was completely opened and missing cards. I decided not to open the rest as his business just lost all of my trust. I called him he started yelling at me saying has no time for this and calling me a liar. I was a repeat customer and had been to his store numerous times. This is unacceptable behavior by someone that owns a store. I brought his untrustworthy products back and he threw cash at me to leave. BEWARE AS THIS STORE CAN NO LONGER BE TRUSTED. read more

They sell all the things that make my inner dork excited. Kind of a wokeism vibe from some of the employees, but meh. For the Emperor!

I really like Generation X Games. I would give it 5 stars, but sometimes the staff is a little gruff and their used selection can be on the short side, but those are really my only complaints. Other than that they have a massive variety of things, ranging from trading and collectible cards, games, miniatures, gaming and fiction books, merch and much more. I am a DM for D&D and can get pretty much everything I need here. I've been considering running some games here as well, because that's an option. Overall it's really impressive, and one of the better stores for this in the DFW area. read more

This place has a some of the most rude and weird ppl to exist. b is not willing to price match. c worse prices then gamestop and the trading in is even worse. read more

Amazing comic book store with tons of great gems with all types of merchandise. Just like the reviews state, though, the customer service is horrendous here or I'd give it 5 stars. Prepare to be ignored and feel inconvenienced by being there. Came once 40 minutes before close and they were very annoyed and reminded us every 5-10 minutes of when they would close. We left 10 minutes before feeling so unwelcome and they immediately locked the door. Been here a few times and will keep coming, but hope the owner reads the reviews and makes changes as I'd like to think my standards for service is pretty low. read more

The staff and the store are incredible. Really a great vibe and a great time. The staff made my experience of teaching my brother how to play Warhammer incredibly enjoyable, thank you so much ! read more

The guys working were really friendly. They ask you if you need help to find something and if you say no they leave you alone instead of glomming on like other places. If you do need help with something, they're really helpful. They're knowledgeable with their products as well, which is always a definite plus. There's a lot of stuff in the store, from comics to graphic novels to action figures and busts to RPG and wargaming stuff. As a nerd, I was in pure heaven. They also have a small section devoted to kids if you want to bring your kid along or are looking for a gift for your kid. Really cool place with a nice atmosphere. I wasn't able to get into table top gaming they had going on (there were several people playing various games when I walked in) but they had a nice calendar detailing upcoming events they were hosting. I can't wait to check out in better detail the gaming scene they have. read more

Coliseum of Comics - Graphic on the front of the store. - Comic Books Near Me - Bedford, Texas

Very poor customer service. I asked an employee (older gentleman, very rude, white hair and beard) about a specific series and he dismissed me and told me to Google it. Separate visit I asked about a price, and his response was abrupt "you're paying for the convenience." Will not be returning and will recommend to everyone a different comic and game shop. read more

Stopped by to have someone look at my sons Pokémon Cards to answer some general questions. The staff was unwilling to give me any time or help. The store wasn't busy and staff were just standing around yet out of principal the manager wouldn't even look at our cards. She said come back in January. I plan on going somewhere else instead. The store itself was ok and prices reasonable but the staff were almost rude which was disappointing. read more

This comic shop is incredible as soon as you come in ur gonna feel like it's your second home lol. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Lots of comics to choose from and lots and lots of back issues, all in alphabetical order. They have so many toys and collectibles and they have some cool drinks and snacks. They also have lots of activities going on like magic the gathering, Pokémon, Star Wars and lots more. read more

I used to live in this area in the early 2000s, (pre face book era for all the youngins). Me and my friends would come here and pay about $45 or so, to have all day LAN parties. The popular games at the time were: Rainbox 6 counter Strike, Age of Empires 2, the first Half Life Game, and there was some mafia themed FPS. Mage Knight was an up and coming minatures game, played a few rounds of that in the back game room. From what I remember, it was a cool, neighborhood comic book / game store. The guy who worked there went by the nick name Sly. Had comic book art work on the wall, the place was clean and well organized. If you check out my reviews of other game stores, I talk fondly of my gaming days (and how they are behind me). I am pleased to know this place is still around. I could not give this place 5 stars, because well, I have not lived in the area in years, so I am giving it 4 stars for the nostalgic factor. read more

This place is awesome. Great prices on everything. They have pop figures, gundams, and comics in bulk. The staff is also very nice. Every time I have been it has always been a great time. read more

A huge store for comic store. Found stuff that I couldn't find in any other store. Definitely coming back if I traveling north of Fort Worth read more

I would give it zero stars but the owner of this business is very rude talks down to you I had to return a item and was explaining why it was a one time deal I said well I can look around the store to get something else in value he huffed and puffed then while walking around the store I heard him yelling at other people so I decided to tell him I would just take the comic and leave he gave me my money back and explained to me in a very rude way he won't do it again and how he lost out on someone else wanting that item I won't go there again please save your time and money read more

I was brand new to the area and they let me know what events they had weekly and has a great selection of cards and comics.

I have shopped at this store for 6 years now and have always been given the best customer service. Mike, one of the sales staff helps me out and greets me every time I come in the store. If there is ever anything I need he will help me find it, or he will order it for me. Best place in town for the selection of comics, board games and collectibles. Highly recommended anyone looking to play Magic the Gathering, War Machine, Dungeon and Dragons, or any other type of Role play game stop by and see there enourrmass selection. They have something going on every day no matter what you are looking for. Thank you Mike for all your help and always being there for me. 5 stars!!!!! read more

The staff followed me around the store and kept asking me if I "needed help" (5 TIMES) while watching my every move - obviously thinking I would steal?? I'm disappointed. I've bought dice, board games, and magic cards at this store before and have had good experiences, but since they've changed staff, they are rude and not helpful. The entire experience made me so uncomfortable that I ended up leaving instead of purchasing anything. read more

Crappy service that cost them a customer. I've given them quite a few chances, but I just don't like how they talk to people.

So would like to begin by saying that Gen-X Comics is THE comic/gaming/collectibles store in the dfw metroplex. The only place you can go that has everything that you need for anything you are trying to do for your gaming or comic/collectible needs. This being said, I would like to start off by saying that all of these whiner-babies, that want to complain about the dust on things and how the staff or owner treats them when they come in...please just shut the hell up...you come into a private owned location, so yes you have to handle up on the fact that there isn't some corporate set of rules or policies that people follow so they can easily walk away from you when you need assistance. There has been years of construction in the area on the major roads and this is Texas folks, so if you live anywhere in the state you better chill out about the dust on things lol. never have I heard so many pathetic excuses to try and knock down a place that anyone can go to and get anything they are looking for in a place like this, and if they don't have it they will order it special for you! I will finish this up by saying that I suspect the respectful adults that enter this place will love it, but anyone who is looking for something to cry about should just go someplace else that won't have the selection, newest and older, or the service and opportunities to explore and learn from the educated staff about the products. This place employs people that are into the things that you are looking for, and yes some things are a little, "over priced" compared to amazon or ebay...But you can't order something on the internet and open it and play with it as soon as the money is out of your bank. So be respectful that someone has built a place up that used to be a hole in the wall location for people that are looking to be involved in whatever it is that you come looking for. Remember that it could NOT be there for you to find things you like and you would probably end up ordering it off the internet and hope that it arrives in a timely fashion to enjoy it. So THANK YOU to the owners and employees of Gen-x Comics for being my one stop for all that is games and comics and collectibles for so many years! read more

This place has been around for a long time. They have good stock of games available. The only problem is that the owner typically has an attitude. Over the years I've gone to this place less and less because the owner is just plain rude. Now days I don't go here at all anymore. With Madness in Plano, Common Ground Games in Dallas and Roll 2 Play in Coppell, there's no reason to put up with this guys bad attitude anymore. read more

This is the comic book store I've been waiting for! I'm almost embarrassed at the time I've spent trying out other local comic stores without even realizing Generation X existed. This store is comparatively HUGE and the service was far and above the best customer service I've received at a comic book store to date. So here's how my visit went: I walk in, I'm immediately greeted. Shortly after that, another employee asks what I'm looking for. He helps me look in all possible locations, then looks it up and determines they are out of it (as is EVERY other comic book store in a 15 mile radius). However he, unlike any other store I visited, immediately offers to order it for me. Then tells me if I have 5 books I regularly read, they'll pull comics for me weekly. THEN he recommends some things I would like based on the comics I added to my pull list! I have not received this level of service anywhere else local. Quite the opposite, I've left many comic stores feeling like I received substandard service. Because I'm a woman, because I'm not immediately identifiable as a nerd, or because they just suck at customer service - who knows? Gratefully, I felt nothing less than total respect and appreciation for my potential business at Generation X. They definitely hooked me into coming back here every Wednesday, knowing all my comics will be set aside under my name and ready to go. Additionally, this store just had everything you could dream of. A HUUUUGE wall of board games, shirts, tchotchkes, puzzles, they even have a children's section of graphic novels and comics. Awesome. They also had a huge gaming section with tables galore for those of you that are into that. I'm just happy to have a found a store that had almost everything in stock I wanted, was happy to order anything I needed, and promised to memorize my name within the next few visits. I so look forward to becoming a regular here! read more

I am Batman. Had to check out this store and get some new comics. They have so much to look at that we spent over 2 hours in the store alone just looking. A little over priced but all the staff is really attentive and nice. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. We browsed and browsed. Saw some good gift ideas for my wife who loves Wonder Woman. Will go back... without the wife lol. read more

Best comic store I've been too. Period. Huge selection of stuff for all ages. My kids loved their first experience in a comic store. Only complaint is owner needs to work on his people skills a little, he always seems annoyed. I use to shop here long ago (at their old location) and after moving away and back again I had forgotten this. You can tell he doesn't like small children, and he is just short with you and even more so with them. That being said he still has a really good comic / game store, loyal customers in there playing various games. I'd recommend the store. read more
