Tucked away and sort of hidden in a business park in San Marcos Knowhere Games and Comics is a true…read morehidden gem. So much variety from tons of comics, Pop Funko, games, and even candy. The staff was very helpful and super friendly. Prices were great. We went to see a friend at an event and it just happened to be Comic Book day. There were a few tables filled with a variety of comics you could choose up to three from. An odd location but it was pretty packed. Overall awesome people and a really neat store.

Hubs found another "happy place" in SD County!…read more Knowhere G&C is located in an industrial area of San Marcos, near an antique mall, several home furnishings stores and next to San Marcos Deli. This seems an ideal location, with plenty of free parking and, judging by the flow of pedestrian traffic in and out of this shop on a "Comic Book Wednesday" many customers agree. Hubs declared a large selection of comics, games and collectibles. He proudly emerged over an hour after parking with a smile on his cute nerdy face and a bag filled with reading materials in his hand. He was very surprised and happy that his purchase amount ~$80TL awarded him with a cool graphic novel. Happiness shortly turned to a bit of confusion when he took a moment to peruse his receipt and discovered he had been charged about 4x the amount he should have been for a comic. He checked online to make sure he didn't grab a ltd edition, or special release, and determined he hadn't. I waited while he returned inside. About 10 minutes he reemerged - HAPPY AGAIN! Seems the clerk, Daniel (guessing from the receipt ), didn't catch it and agreed it had been incorrectly priced. He further apologized saying he usually catches the comics over $20 and confirms the customer is aware when they are purchasing a more expensive issue. So Daniel was sorry he missed that completely. Hubs confirmed that he was still ok receiving the free graphic novel and was assured, yes, his purchase amount still qualified for the free novel. The over charge was returned to Hubs and he was happy with the store, Daniel and his customer service. Knowhere G&C has been bookmarked for our future SD road trips. Cheers! "CC"

PARKING: Plenty of parking! The lot is so huge!…read more SEATING: Came here for a MTG draft and there were so many tables! They had many drafts going on and additional open tables. There was a lot of room to walk around if you wanted to watch other players play. SERVICE: This is not my LGS but it was very spacious, very clean. All the workers were extremely nice! They were very knowledgeable about any plays people had questions about and kept walking around just in case. They had little snacks and drinks for sale, they were reasonably priced! OVERALL: Very cool shop, would visit again if I'm in the area or my friends ask me to go with them again!

They have a lot of product available, but their prices are a bit on the high side compared to other…read moreshops in San Diego (which is probably why they have so much product). They have tons of table space for games, and they host prereleases and tournaments, which is nice to see. I wouldn't say they're rude, but they also weren't friendly. I tried to make a bit of small talk, mentioned I'm new to the area and was checking out local shops. I was met with silence. It felt like they just wanted me to buy stuff and leave. I picked up a couple things but I don't think I'll be going back.

Staff is always friendly and helpful too. Only thing I wish is that they had more collectibles beyond cards. And speaking of cards, wish they had more single graded cards on display and for sale. But it is kind of a smaller shop so maybe it's just a space issue. Either way, would recommend checking out

But they do carry Panini Select and Prizm cards, along with Topps. The store manager: Coach, has a great bunch of knowledgeable staff working here. They can tell you which cards & players are in and which ones are out of favor. Important insights to a collector. If you're into collecting, I would absolutely make coming here a stop on your route.

I'm not one of the adults who still collects, but now my girls are all in... and I'm along for the ride! From the moment we walked in, they were welcomed with so much kindness. I didn't catch her name -- she wore glasses -- but she was incredibly sweet to my girls and even gifted them each a Pokémon Trainer Box. It absolutely made their day. They haven't stopped talking about building decks since. They spent the rest of our visit carefully picking out their favorite cards from the mixed singles boxes -- Jigglypuff and Pancham were top picks -- and wide-eyed staring at some of the wildly priced cards (definitely made me wish I'd held onto mine from back in the day!). Here's hoping their new Pokémon passion doesn't completely drain my wallet... but this shop made 2/22 a day they won't forget. Thank you -- especially to the kind employee who went out of her way to make two little girls feel so special. We'll absolutely be back!

Julie (I hope I got your name right!) immediately stepped in and took amazing care of us.

Her customer service was excellent, and we really appreciated how smoothly she handled everything. All the other staff members were just as amazing and accommodated us. Thank you again for making our day. We'll definitely be coming back!

Gen Z workers give the legendary Comics N Stuff brand a bad name…read more I've been going to CnS for decades and it's always a good place to check out while the family shops for clothing. Unfortunately this location has been a problem for quite a while. Every time I come here there's always something with the employees that so unprofessional. I get it, it's a comic book store in a mall, but the people that they have working here believe this is their personal hangout.. As for comic selection, this is basically a Marvel and DC shop. You'll have a tough time finding anything independent. - Completely inappropriate music playing sometimes. - When there's more than one person working they basically are loud and goofing off. - No active help from employees. You have to walk up to the counter and get a passive aggressive response. This isn't the Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop so stop acting like it is. - Various activist and virtue signaling posters. This is a business, not a Jr. college library. Are the owners aware of this? - This is multiple times, not just one "bad day". Owners- I like comics because of escapism. There needs to be more oversight / training at this location.

Thank you to Corey for the suggestions, we are so excited to start our new games!…read more We came in here looking for good two player games and solo rpg games. The selection is decent, though a little limited. They seemed to be out of some things but that's okay. We started browsing looking at simple games. Corey asked if he could help and we told him what we were looking for. He said the one we were holding, Rebel Princess, was really fun and he had played it himself. we decided to snag that. He then recommended us Forest Shuffle as a fun game for us too, little does he know that animals like bugs and birds are my entire personality. Such a good read on his part. We loved the game he pitched and took that as well. He showed us around the shop and where to find some amazing used and vintage books (very cool little selection) and where everything else is located. He also suggested me a solo rpg which I will be coming to get! Super thankful for the nice staff and amazing store!

I lost all my old ones in a fire in 07. They had a great choice of hero clix. I almost got all of them. Maybe 4/5 items achieved. Cost a lot but so so worth it. I love heels and villain.

I stopped in here on a whim to have my Pokémon cards evaluated. While that isn't something that…read morethey usually do for a set (they evaluate/buy individual cards), the people in the store put aside some time to educate me on the different cards I had and their possible value. You can tell that this store has people who are really passionate about what they do And are not just run if the mill employees. They took the time to tell me about several of my individual cards, show me how to find their value online and gave me recommendations as to where I could sell them. They also invited us back to learn about various card playing games. I would definitely come back again and I'm very grateful for the insight. Thank you Josh Aliya and Casey :)
