The store was way bigger than I expected and had so many options, from comic books and figurines to fidgets, kids' books, and more. They even have a little area in the back where you can play games with your friends! The staff was really nice, and there were so many cool things to choose from that I couldn't even figure out what to get. I definitely need to come back! My brother, on the other hand, knew exactly what he wanted and picked up five figurines he's been wanting. Definitely worth checking out!

This place is SO COOL!!…read more My fiancé and I love stopping by regularly to see what's new in store. The guys here are the absolute coolest and have been so helpful, and the amount of awesome merch crammed into this place is INSANE. From board games and their accessories to giant superhero statues, they have it all. We've purchased almost all of our comic books here, several Pokémon and One Piece cards/packs, plushies, and a few figures from them. Their layaway plan is super reasonable and made it possible for us to bring home one of our largest figures, J. Scott Campbell's Alice, to date. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you haven't already visited. This place is an experience, and I'd be absolutely shocked if you can't find what you're looking for.

That means it has been supplying this college town with comics and collectibles for over 35 years. Run by the incredible Stuart family (Brian, Diane, and their son Kyle), it's the definition of a "mom and pop comic shop" where the owners are genuinely passionate about the hobby. They carry a massive selection of comics, graphic novels, action figures, and trading cards (including Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering). What sets them apart? Their impressive range of collectible vintage comics and sports cards from the 1950s and '60s. Come for the comics, stay for the friendly, personalized service. It's a clean store run with customer respect--a simple secret to 35 years of success!

Such a fun comic shop!…read more This shop may be on the smaller side, but that doesn't mean there isn't a ton to see or do. Cards, comics and mangas, figures, snacks, a tabletop tournament area, you name it, they have it. The staff members are so friendly and actually know their stuff so you're sure to get excellent help or advice if you need them. It's such a cool place, and I've purchased a ton of Magic decks, card sleeves, and far too many Asian snacks from them and I guarantee you that I will continue to do so. I'd highly recommend swinging by Dragon's Lair. And don't forget to check out their daily event schedule to see if you want to participate in one of their tournaments!

First visit to Big Alpaca Comics on Babcock Road and found the store to be clean and organized…read more They have a number of long boxes to browse through, although there were not many back issues, with most of the inventory consisting of newer books and recent releases. During our first visit, my husband asked about some blind bags and was told they were sold out. Shortly afterward, there was a discussion about another customer who had made a complaint and another customer who had made two previous purchases and whether that customer would be eligible to purchase a blind bag since they had only made two purchases. Hearing that interaction felt a little odd and contributed to an atmosphere that didn't feel particularly welcoming. As frequent visitors to many comic book and collector stores, this was one of the only times we didn't feel especially comfortable. Overall, the store has a selection of comics and plenty of boxes to search through. One thing that stood out was a sign stating that books cannot be read or looked through because "this is not a library" and must be purchased first. While that may be store policy, combined with our interactions during the visit, it made the experience less enjoyable than we had hoped being our first visit. Collectors looking for newer books may still find some interesting additions to their collection.

From cgc slabs, exclusives all the way to $1 comics. Loved the vibe of the shop. It was clean. The comics were organized very well. And when I asked an employee for help, who was in the middle of sorting comics, gladly stopped and happily helped me with my question. He was very helpful and kind. Can't wait to come back and pick up some more goodies. They offer some really great services when it comes to signatures and grading as well.

Sprayed edge favorites and current picks, manga and danmei, Legos and puzzles, a Harry Potter section, you name it, they probably have it. If they don't, it's super easy to have it ordered for you. It's never difficult to find a staff member if you need assistance as they are constantly restocking shelves or checking in with customers, and the layout of the store itself is easy to maneuver. No floor to ceiling shelving units that block your view. I can't recommend this Barnes and Noble location enough. It's one of the best ones in San Antonio!
