    "Tournament headquarters!" I had a chance to talk to the friendly owner, Kerry, who explained the business to me. At first I thought it would just be comics, but it's a whole lot more than that. They have regular tournaments here, of every shape and size. The day that I visited there were several dozen fervent games being played. You can check online for the schedule of tournaments. They have a great selection of comics, as well as toys, card decks, books, and even wall decor. They have snacks also. Don't forget to try some of the brownies made by the owners wife. I'm impressed with this business, and also with the knowledge of the owner.

    I found a decent selection of board games but I was expecting to see more, but I think it makes sense since half of the store is dedicated for comics as the name of the store suggests so, so I would not hold that against them. I appreciated that they had a section for "used" board games so that good games could be recycled and taken by new owners instead of just being tossed away or not used.

    My first time in a comic store. I went there with my entire family. My son had just graduated and he wanted to open some Packs. The owner is such a nice guy. He made us feel very welcome. He gave us a really good deal. Overall, we left with a wonderful experience definitely coming back to the store and supporting this gentleman. I'm putting a master set together for journey together, so I plan to be here on Saturday and do some trading. The store gives out wonderful vibes.

    Lorcana pricing seem to have come down and more in line with market prices. Much better than before.

    Maybe take the words "Comic Books" off your store if you don't sell them. Then I wouldn't have driven 30 minutes.

They're really helpful. They have a few long boxes set up in the front with 1 dollar comics and 5 dollar graphic novels in the front of the store. Singles are kept in the 1$ long boxes which include a lot Marvel, Image, Valiant, Ultraverse comics from the 90s, you'll also find some DC and vertigo titles as well. Sifting through these boxes gave me flashbacks of when I was a comic collector in the 90s. Towards the back left and back wall of the store, you'll find shelves of graphic novels, omnibus, and other collected editions. Back issues are set up on a large table in the back. You can find a mixed selection of different titles from Silver age to modern. I found surprising inventory of certain title runs. I have a bit more exploring to do in this store. Crush carries good comic storage stuff - boxes, bags and boards (BCW brand) on the right side of the store.

    My favorite board game shop!! Whenever I travel, I try to check out all the board game shops I can,…read moresince they're so few and far between. Illusive is just unmatched. The customer service, the vibe, and the selection are all sooo good. I got into board games about a year ago, and discovering that you can play games for free in-store or rent from their huge selection for a small fee was a game changer. It really helped me and my partner figure out what kinds of games we liked before committing to a purchase. Every time I'm in, or whenever I have questions, the employees are so accommodating and kind. You can tell they genuinely know their stuff about every game they carry. They're also dog friendly, inclusive, creating a really welcoming community that i really appreciate!

As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted. They asked if I was looking for anything and was shown to the card sleeve section. I've been to multiple stores that specialize in cards. Why was this the ONLY place where I found a large assortment of card sleeves for players!! Lol I met Anna(?) or Ann, and customer service was amazing, gave all information I was asking for, and showed me the weekly schedule. I am more of a mega competitive player (but not a sore winner ;-)), so I wanted to know what their schedule looked like, what is their most supported game, etc. I believe this is a more chill, casual, friendlies kind of vibe (not a bad thing at all), and I'd be open to doing more drafts or pre-release kits or something. Hoping to bring in my coworkers and friends! I can tell that they care very much about making sure they can support their community and create an inclusive and healthy space. Masks are not a big deal for me, they're effective especially nowadays with allergies, new viruses, whatever lol Lots of different card games in stock and tabletop games for rent, a cute dog and a big space for players.. but what really made things great was speaking with Al about Witch Hat Atelier. I've been to a lot of comic book stores, and I'll see the "Favorite Picks", but that's about it. Al and I talked about it, we went through the art, explained the intro, and it really brought me in. Al's passion for stories really made me want to look at this series. I didn't buy it, but I can honestly say that I'd love to come back to the store to find out what the next big thing is Al will share with me. I can sense that these folks are passionate, accommodating, and personable. Hoping for further successes!
