Okay, so many of my Yelp readers know what a total beer geek I am. I write about breweries…read moreconstantly in my reviews. But before I even touched craft beer I was and still am a huge nerd for comic books and acrtion figures. Back when I was very young patience was often demanded out of my parents for my brother and me due to their numerous appointments which is a whole other story as to why that was. So comics were good things to pass by the time while in the waiting room. It also got me into reading too or at least partially. Back then our main choices were Marvel or DC comics and there wasn't really much else to pick from. Occasionally Harvey Comics were around. Those are the comics with Casper The Friendly Ghost and Richie Rich but those got tiresome fast. Eventually getting comics became an obsession and a hobby of mine but collecting DC and Marvel titles at the same time got to be too costly so I decided to drop DC and go with Marvel and that's how it was until the end of high school. College then arrived along with the 1990's and the rise of more independent comic companies and so much more variety than the two comic giant companies of Marvel and DC and this is where I got wind of Dark Horse comics and a few other comic companies at this time. Truth be told I stuck with Marvel still mostly during this decade but my internet would occasionally waver for the other comic companies. I didn't get too interested in Dark Horse Comics until I discovered Hellboy but even then the interest didn't quite solidify but it was getting there. That all changed when I took on the reading project of wanting to read as much of the old Star Wars canon as I could. Marvel had a Star Wars title in the 80's but that license expired and went to Dark Horse. Here the old Marvel stories were reprinted again but in addition a whole bunch of new stories for all of the eras that made up of the old Star Wars canon. It was here where I seriously got hooked on Dark Horse and discovered by reading so many of their Star Wars comics their corporate offices were in the Portland area. So I would need to swing by next time I'm in Portland! But getting back to the Star Wars comics, like any comic series some titles and stories are better than others but a few stories I really enjoyed were their Quinlan Vos storylines, Tales of the Jedi, Dawn of the Jedi era comics and the Dark Empire storylines but I enjoyed many more than that as well. It was when I discovered where the corporate offices were that the pandemic was raising it's mighty head and paying a visit to Portland just didn't seem like a good idea for a while. But finally last February I finally was able to go to Portland and feel safe doing it and went to the offices. Now the first thing to keep in mind is that as far as I can tell there isn't really a place for visitors to go. There is a few Dark Horse signs outside a few buildings in downtown Milwaukee but it looks like you should only attempt entrance if you have an appointment arranged. I saw no shop that was a part of the offices(unlike Fantagraphics in Seattle for example)however there is a comic shop right next door with plenty of comics to browse at. So keep your expectations low on expecting a tour here. In fact if you go through this area on a weekend the offices look closed up tighter than a drum so definitely keep that in mind . Anyway I'm just grateful to have read all those stories Dark Horse printed and reissued on Star Wars. Since that old canon reading project wrapped up(it took three years to do) it seems like I stumble across Dark Horse more and more in my reading choices and that's a very good situation to be in.

A month ago I stumbled across an old coupon for some original Alien 3 comic adaptations. This was…read morefrom 1992 and I thought it was funny that there was no expiration date. As I looked further into the coupon, I found the address and store to send it back to with money still existed. Knowing the worst that could happen would be for me to lose $20, I sent in the coupon with my money, thinking it'll at least spark a couple of good laughs in the store. To my surprise, they sent back my coupon, money AND the Aliens Original Comic Series hardcover book!! I'm super thrilled to have received this and hope to actually visit the store some day.

It has the art supplies any student would need/want, lots of craft project supplies and ideas. They also had ink bottles from many great companies - I got a phosphorescent ink just for the fun of it.

Retro Shark Gaming should reconsider their name, it's hardly retro, and overall a disappointing…read morevisit. I have gone a few times over the past year, and have felt the same dissatisfaction each time. With the scarce options in Gresham for games, I felt I should give them a couple chances. The video game selection is meek if that. With the most variety for new gen consoles XB S/X and PS5 (This would be fine if they didn't price things as badly). The sections for "retro" games are pitiful, with laughable selections. Any game you came in hoping to find, they've either priced it way too high in the glass case, or they don't have it. Serious price gouging overall, this can't be stated enough. It feels like a basement selection of games that nobody wants, or everyone already has. They even offer games that no longer have online services, rendering them useless to the buyer, at the same price as when these games released 5+ years ago. Do those games come with a warning before or after you buy them? At one point I was on the look out for an original Wii controller, when I called the store I got such vague answers. "We might have them" or a long sales pitch on their off branded Wii controllers sold in store (surprise! They are horrible quality and barely catch a read on the sensor bar) Surely they know the quality of these second market controllers they are selling/ promoting? Just a waste of money and time. The main attraction of this store seems to be the tabletop gaming. They have many events during the week, and I think that is helping with the overall traction of people going in and out of the place. It can't be their prices or selection! I truly think this place would be better off just pivoting to exclusively tabletop games, or AT LEAST take "retro" out of the name. Either way- if you're looking for retro games, don't waste your time here.

KLEARSKI THE KREEPER, a YouTuber who's built a reputation for respectfully showcasing local…read morebusinesses, visited your store on May 29, 2025, to celebrate Pac-Man's 45th anniversary. He wasn't filming anyone without consent, and he's always quick to stop recording if asked. His goal is simple: highlight unique local spots and give them well-deserved attention. What he does is free promotion--something especially valuable in today's economy. As someone who lives in Portland, I'd never even heard of your shop until his video. I was excited to check it out, but the way the filming was shut down--despite no signs posted and no harm being done--left a negative impression. That said, I want to be clear: I don't want to hurt your business. I want to support it. That's why I was disappointed. Gresham and Portland need more visibility and community support, and creators like Klearski help make that happen. He left feeling discouraged, and I believe this could've been handled differently--maybe even turned into a great opportunity. Your staff was kind, and there's no ill will. I just hope next time, the door stays open to creators who are genuinely trying to help businesses like yours thrive.

Let me start by saying all the staff here and some of the most friendly, patient and knowledgeable of any gaming store I've ever been to. The selection they offer is HUGE. From RPG's to card games and an seeming infinite array of other table top games ranging from silly to serious. Personally, I go here to join a group of DnD players in the gaming table section and can confirm the space is accommodating and free of charge so get here early if you want a good spot. They have drop in style games going on also if you're flying solo. Drink choices are mostly soda, water, CBD drinks, energy drinks and once the bar is open really good draft beer choices. Whoever is responsible for the beer selection is certainly a bonafide beer nerd. The food is all snack-y (chips, beef jerky, sweets, etc.).

The selection here is massive and incredibly well organized, with something for everyone from casual players to serious hobbyists. There's also a big game room and playroom in the back that seemed to have some games and tournaments going on I loved the demo tables -- such a smart way to actually try games before buying -- and the staff were genuinely friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy. It's the kind of store you plan to pop into briefly and end up staying for an hour (almost).
