Pleasant surprise for a very simple expectation on the outside.

There's everything from comic books and figures to games from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Warhammer, and anything else you can think of. Some comic books are cheaper than on Amazon. I bought some on Amazon as gifts, only to realize after that, this place has them cheaper! I was just browsing and didn't have any questions or requests from the staff, but based on interactions with others, they know their stuff. This is not a surface-level, small store where they display a tiny collection. They have almost everything. I think that's the most important thing you need to know about this place. I did notice the retro consoles and games like the SNES are priced quite steeply here. They are rare to come by in Northern Virginia, so I'd expect that.

The fact that Marvel has released so many cool superhero movies in recent years has also renewed my interest in re-reading a lot of the old story lines. They carry a wide selection of comic books and graphic novels. If they don't have what you are looking for - ask if they can order it for you.

I recently visited the Gathering Grounds coffee shop in University Mall - and noticed the sign for…read more"The Amazing Comic Shop," so, as I check out all comic and gaming stores - I knew I had to come back and check it out. It's located in an alley way of sorts - behind Gathering Grounds and other shops directly facing the front parking lot. The first thing you notice walking in - is the super cool, close-to-life size Silver Surfer! I need one of those in my house! Tons of comics, a small amount of Dungeons & Dragons books, and some Funko Pops and other figurines. I bought an Avengers comic collection. Service was good, paid with Apple Pay. #TheAmazingComicShop

If you want books of comics from retro eras, you'll want to go here. They also have lots of games, as well as related merchandise. Prices are competitive. Great staff works here. All of their employees have been friendly and helpful. This is definitely something different, and I appreciate this. A fun place at University Mall. Definitely visit this location, as they have it all under one roof.

As others have noted - this is a pretty small store. It might be the smallest comic book store I've seen in the area. But - small is not necessarily a negative. They have a good selection of comics. They also have a small selection of D&D books and dice. After perusing the store - I did not find anything I wanted, but I'll have to drag a couple of my nerdy comic book friends over to check the place out and get their take on the place. #BigPlanetComics

I found myself wishing there was something more to do here than just buy comics because I wanted to hang around after my purchase just to geek out with them a bit on their tastes and why they were into the things they liked, etc. Their website could use a bit of work, but I'll try to hunt around for information that might give me an excuse to hang out there more often.

Mckays…read morehas always had inaccurate pricing, but today they were so bad that I almost thought I was dreaming. Tell me why I saw Star Wars the Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels for $18... Currently this game goes for $3.67 on pricecharting, heck when it game out in 2008 its peak was only a measly $5. Multiple gbc/gba shovelware games all overmarket, by around 10 dollars as well. In general the amount of 3-5 dollar games that they are trying to pass off as 15 - 20 dollar games is dis gracefully disgusting. The point of traveling to these stores are to get the good deals. All of the inventory they have are traded in for or donated so it makes NO sense! It seems that the employees make guesses when it comes to prices, that or they are being told to overprice by upper management. By the gaming section there was a sign that claimed that all of the consoles and equipment is tested beforehand by "gamers with over 30 years of experience" whatever that means. I got an Xbox One Kinect from them back in December, and worked normally. A couple days later I wanted to try using its mic functionality, was not functioning. So it was never fully tested by "gamers with over 30 years of experience" lol. The worst part is that they give you a 3 day warranty... it's not like people have kids, jobs, or other commitments I guess. The media (dvds and blu rays) were also overpriced per usual. Usually only by 5-10 bucks. My main discrepancy today was that I saw multiple dvds and blu rays with dirt and filth smattered on the covers. Your telling me that they have the audacity to up charge, and still refuse to even spend 10 seconds wiping the cover with a lysol wipe? Is it that hard to do? Disgusting! I can't speak on their book pricing as I am not well versed but pretty much everything else is overpriced in this store. It really sucks because these type of stores are supposed to be for lower income families who can't buy new. And instead is being treated like a greedy gaming convention booth. I genuinely feel bad for kids nowadays who want to start growing a small gaming collection post pandemic. With greedy "thrift" stores like this, even the shovel ware games are off-limits.

Nice selection of comics, graphic novels, anime, funko-pops etc. Not a huge selection of back issues (no $1 Bins) that I saw. Overall, a nice Comic Shop worth checking out.

My one complaint is that it takes them a while to process your donations and you only have 24 hours to accept the offer they give you. If you came from Maryland like we did, this isn't helpful.

Just be aware you will most likely not get your deal the same day.
