Not only were you rude but very unprofessional in regard to concerns on your marketing. Instead of actually trying to solve the issue, you use glib apologies to smooth things over rather handle the issue in-store.

Review Visit: May 12th, 2015…read more In my quest to visit any and all nerdy stores, Comic Service is another stop in a long list of places to visit. Not being a comic person/collector myself, I really wasn't sure what to expect. Some comic stores carry a variety of things aside from comics, ranging from video games to cds to vinyl and the odds and ends. From what I remember about Comic Service, they seem exclusive to just the comic book scene. Well, that's not entirely true. They do sell POP vinyl figures. Not only POP but other collectible figures as well. But beyond that, not much else. The walls are literally filled with comics. Wall to wall comics and comic-related things. Overall, if you need a comic book fix, visit Comic Service. Small store, but a big variety. They have to have the most comics per square inch of all stores in the tri-county area.

This is a tiny place that is covered in comic books. One thing that surprised me was the number of…read morebooks that were falling and bending forward on the shelf. I can't imagine that is good for their value. It would be better just fill the shelf half-full so they weren't getting bent on the bottom third of the books. The owner never looked at us, never greeted us, never asked if we needed anything. I guess he figures you know what you're looking for and good luck finding it. My husband did find a book that is rather hard to fine and he charged him less than cover price. Probably worth stopping by.

Review Visit: January 16th, 2016…read more Let's make the Magic happen! Oh... you played a counter spell I will preface this with a warning that I am a bit bias towards The Zone. I partake in Magic pre-releases here. I have been coming here for a long time, actually. Back when I first got into Magic and his store was located in Creve Coeur, IL. Moving on. The Zone offers a wide variety of products. From comics, posters, figures/toys, trading cards (singles and sealed), Ultra Pro products, sleeves, and other odds/ends. I have played 3 Magic pre-releases there (so far) and the store owner, Scott, has been great at hosting it each time. He even helped me set up my DCI account right before the pre-release tournament was about to start. You can pretty much throw any random question at Scott and he will have some knowledge about it and can help you out. Overall, a great store to visit if you need your Magic/comics/toys fix. Plus, Maurie's Candies is right across the street! :3
