I walked in and realized it's a big shop with a huge selection. I've gone a few times since and the staff are always soo helpful everytime I go, happy to make suggestions and chat about comics. If your starting a collection, working on adding to yours or just wanting something to read as a one off check out this spot.

Comics books may not be for everyone, but for those who do enjoy them, this shop offers all the new release issues, quite a few back stocked items, and a handful of collectibles and figurines.

They carry whole series runs of select titles for between $14.99-$49.99, and if you are in the market for something specific, the owner knows his stuff and is always willing to help you get what you need.

Very clean and variety of selections for young children to older explorers and creatives. We ended up getting strawberry scratch and sniff stickers and two Sanrio blind boxes. The workers let us know the Sanrio were new. Value is always subjective I believe but to us, the stickers will definitely be used, and the Sanrio figurines will be played with and appreciated. This was the second time I've been in this store, and overall, it was very welcoming, helpful, and fun ambiance. We'll be back again next time in Murphys.

I appreciated the diversity of genres from heavy to light and social games as well as strategy games (I don't like when other places have only light or party games!). We stayed the entire time for Twilight Imperium and were treated well. They didn't rush us out at close as other places do. They allow outside food where others don't. Price is actually reasonable considering their library and the people there are plentiful and diverse too. I haven't tried going to open gaming events where you mingle but can consider that in the future. They host their own monthly Twilight Imperium which I might try out in the future when I am free on the weekend!

I got to witness a live Magic the Gathering event on my random visit, which was a fun experience and gave me a good feeling of nostalgia.
