CUSTOMER SERVICE. Period. That's all I need to say. Best customer service I've ever seen in a comic book shop ever, hands down. That alone would keep me coming back. I'm not even that much of a comic book reader anymore, but I've gotten back into them because of the folks at Third Eye. They really take the experience to a whole new level. You can tell they care, that they are bought in to your enjoying the time you spend in their shop. Class act all around. read more

Really enjoyed this place. They seem to have a bit of everything for everyone. They offer comics, game supplies, Funkos, novelty clothing, and probably a whole bunch of stuff that I'm forgetting. read more

What a fantastic place! They have everything you could ever want in stock, and even more you didn't know you wanted coming in, but now have to have. Extremely helpful staff, and welcoming to all levels of fans. I'm much more of a novice with Comics and the like, but felt at home here. Check them out. read more

This place def. gets 5 stars from me. They have a huge selection and the store is big enough where I don't feel I need to hug the wall every 2 minutes for someone to walk past. Their back issue selection is fairly large and well organized. The pricing can be a tad high but they encourage you to haggle at the counter which is great. Whether you buy new or old, toys or clothes this place has it all! read more

Bottom line upfront: This is the best place to satisfy all comic book/geek/nerd needs. Upon walking in, I was greeted by two amazing employees that made me feel welcomed and not rushed. They gave me a brief tour and point out comics that I mentioned I was into. They have every comic going back 3ish years. The prices aren't bad at all and know where everything is if you can't find it. The thing that sets them apart is the free rewards program. Comics are a monthly and sometimes weekly event for me, so rewards program helps. Worth the drive from fort meade area. They have a great website and are a customer service first business. Will return from now on. read more

Third Eye Comics - Comic Books Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Great selection, great service by knowledgable people. I haven't bought a comic in over two decades but they were able to steer me to a couple of different volumes to help me catch up on some of the notable events in both the Marvel and DC universes. Prices are more than reasonable and their comic subscription service will keep you from missing comics when you can't make it to the store. Getting your loot from the comic box when you do show up is a great feeling! By far the best comic shop in a very large area. Be sure to check out their game shop on the other end of the building! read more

Third Eye Comics - Some of the costumes while waiting in the epic line on Free Comic Books Day at Third Eye Comics! - Comic Books Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

What a great space and what makes it better is the employees who work there. A friend showed me this store on our way back from downtown trying to escape the cold. Their comic collection is expansive ranging from marvel to manga books. They even have fun toys there as well. I passed a lot of gudetama and studio ghibli items. I was surprised to see the book Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland there. That's a childhood classic to me. I was too busy running around the store that I forgot to take any pictures. That's how you know it was a good time. Can't wait to return. read more

Best... comic book store... EVER. I'm not even a big comic reader, but when I do get the urge I always go here. I've been in other comic stores and this place has them beat hands down. First, you've got the selection. Which is pretty much ~everything~. Want the latest new stuff? They got it all, from major publishers to indie comics. Want older stuff? They've got the biggest collection of compilations I have ever seen. If they don't have it (and it's not out-of-print), they'll get it for you. Plus, they have a nice collection of collectibles, figures, games, random toys, etc. Where else was I able to find a Dr. Strange glass? Second, you have the staff. They make this store happen, always ready to help you, whether it's finding a specific comic or even recommending certain ones. There must be some sort of hiring criteria, because every single member of his staff is smiling, upbeat, and informative - no grumpy comic nerds in there! The owner, Steve, has always been like that, even back at Alliance in Bowie. He's not only friendly but knowledgeable and can get you started on any storyline from just about any series. Plus, I swear the man has eidetic memory - he'll remember something you were into over a year ago! Third, they have now moved to an even bigger location. I've watched them grow from small store off side street, to decent-sized comic shop, to an entire WAREHOUSE. Even friends who used to visit (and enjoy) their old store stop and stare in wonder at the new place. And it doesn't feel empty - that's how much stuff they have! I've had people ask if they should get a comic book when we stop at various small shops or chain locations while out-of-town. I vehemently tell them, "No. Wait until we get back in Maryland and I take you to a ~real~ comic store". And I took them straight to Third Eye. read more

In 3 years I have been to Third Eye about every other week. They are very knowledgable and have a knack for suggesting a book or series that fits what you are looking for. As gas as customer service / dedication ... Any business that remembers my name and my daughters name and treats her like a little princess when she comes in is wicked awesome in my book. read more

Amazing shop and collectibles with an even better crew! I don't think i've once entered the shop without being greater by a member

Quintessential comic book store - this place has it all and friendly staff provided excellent customer service. They answered all of my 13 year olds questions. I will definitely return when I am back in the area. read more

This is one of the best comic book stores I have ever visited. Prices in the statues and other collectibles are very reasonable. The inventory is absolutely amazing. I have to drive a little bit to get there but it's well worth it. read more

Everything you could want in a comic book store/geekery. Staff is kind and helpful, has helped me find new series that I love and has pull boxes that are easy to maintain online. read more

Everybody in the store was so friendly. We hadn't been to the store before and we're picking out our kids' first comic book. The environment was very welcoming and friendly. They had lots of sales and were more than willing to help us find thing. We will definitely be regulars and look forward to snlther visit. read more

Gem of a comic shop. From monthly issues to trade paperbacks and the helpful shelves filled with graphic novels by theme, this is a great place to shop for your comic fix. I diverted to here to shop today and was not disappointed. read more

This is my all time favorite comic book store. Not only is the store massive with a huge selection of comics, manga, toys, and graphic novels, but the staff is all very friendly and helpful. Their customer service is really what sets this store apart and makes me actually want to go again and again. My wife likes manga and she has been able to find manga she likes in stock pretty much every time. They also have amazing events and signings almost every month. read more

Ava is the most amazing associate I have ever met in my life. She helped me pick several manga that literally saved my life. I used to be an alcoholic and these manga choices changed that. I also won the lottery right after. Coincidence? I think not. 10/10 please go there read more

Fantastic store! I can't make it up there much so I go to California's location. It has a huuuugggeeee selection of comics, collectibles, and trades. The store is clean and great looking. Social distancing and masks are enforced, which is necessary and good. Each store I have been to the employees are friendly and non-condescending, it is the norm at this store too! It is such a great location w/a third eye game store next to it. The manga selection is pretty big. I went to a tom king signing here and it was great! The line was long but it was quick and the store operated as usual. read more

What can I say about this place? Totally a great hidden find in Annapolis! They have everything you could ever imagine in here for a newb or a seasoned pro. I used to love comic books when I was a kid and even had a few subscriptions, but nothing like what this place has. The best thing is, it's all under one roof. The staff at the Annapolis store is AMAZING! I've had the pleasure of working with Torma on each of my visits and that guy is genuinely awesome. He greeted me (along with every other employee) and made me feel welcome right away. He even remembered the last time I had come in with my step daughter. He helped steer me in the right direction for what I was looking for (Star Wars EU) and I ended up walking out of the store with an armful of great reads. Next step...subscriptions!! read more

Best. Customer. Service. Third Eye Comics has TONS of comics, friendly staff who are very knowledgable. Third Eye Comics is a definite gem in the Annapolis area. read more

The NICEST group of people ever. Every time I come I someone is immediately asking if I need help. Great group and I thank you all. Merry Christmas. read more

Love this place. I was early one day as had gone to the park in annapolis with my dog. As they were putting out their outdoor signage I asked if my dog would come and they said yes! So off the dog and I went to shop! All the employees loved petting her. It was like wow! Checkout was super easy and I even signed up for emails read more

They pretty much have everything, and then some....there are actually two stores around the corner from each other, one specializing in comics and toys and the other in table top games. The staff is super friendly and make sure to check in using their rewards program. Pricing is a tad high on most items but you are not only supporting a local business but you are also supporting a way of life (the nerd way, the good way). read more

One of the best stores I have been to for comics. The atmosphere in the store is always positive. The staff are always helpful and never condescending for those that may not know much about comics. We always have great deals. You name it they can get it for you. The staff always greet you at the door with a big smile!!! One of my favorite places just to go and be at!! Thank you all for creating a great space for those that love comics!! read more

This place lives up to their reviews! If you are an Annapolis Yelper you probably have seen this place pop up constantly in the feeds when you first log in. I have been meaning to check this place out for a few years and I just never got around to it. I was blown away by the size of this store. The people that worked there were so welcoming! Even for an apparently non-typical customer like myself. I was on the hunt for items to complete my Storm Costume (This was for the Miss Xpose Competition). No luck here because they don't carry costumes and very few accessories. But they did have a good selection of action figures and t-shirts. I at least found a cool X-men Key Chain that I could wear as a necklace. Keep in mind...I'm a fan of X-Men, The Avengers, Thor, Captain America......did I mention Thor? because of the awesome movies that have been out...and because of the nice choice of bodies that comprised the cast of these movies......it actually took me a while to get past the eye candy and really focus on the plot... When I entered this store, I was NOT a comic book reader....until now...Third Eye actually converted me... Here's how they did it: I noticed on my Yelp App that they had a check in offer. So I asked the front what Volume 1 comic would they give me for checking in. They gave me Uncanny Avengers. (Of course I'm looking for the one with the most hot bodies in it....) I took it home and actually read it...and now I am hooked it was a damn good story.....its like a Soap Opera..so much drama!..but with hot guys with super powers.... Damn it...now I have to go back and read ALL of the comics and get caught up. Thanks to Third Eye...I am now hooked and possibly on the way to being a comic book geek. read more

There's a reason this place is averaging a 5-star rating. I live in NY but frequently visit family in MD. I had heard that this was a good shop, so I swung by this morning to see what all the fuss was about. Expectations were exceeded. Large, organized, clean store. Wide selection. Superior customer service. This place is nerd heaven and you feel like you could spend all day there. Even if you're a n00b, you can tell these guys are ego-free and want you to find something you'll like. Bottom line is this: from now on I'd rather wait to visit Third Eye on my trips to MD instead of shopping at Midtown and Forbidden Planet in NYC. That's saying a lot. read more

I love this store. The best group of people. A very wide selection of anything you're into.

I've heard a lot about the shop and see advertisements everywhere. I decided to enter during some spare time while in Annapolis. I was amazed and impressed at the sheer size of the store and their collection of everything from comics to toys to games. Unfortunately, while many of the other reviewers here will say that the staff is engaging, but not pushy, and will help you or let you browse, that was not my experience. I couldn't take five steps without someone approaching me and asking me if I needed help. Just simply walking to the back of the store and back I was questioned half a dozen times. For someone who does like to browse and and explore at my own pace, I found it extremely jarring and it made me just want to leave the store, which I did, without buying anything. read more

Third eye comics is the epicenter of comic books in southern Maryland. I cannot go on more about how many great comics they have along with toys graphic novels and shirts. Give this place a try before you go anywhere else, if they can't satisfy your comic itch no one can. Keep up the great work guys love the place read more

Some might say I am overly generous with my 5-Star ratings, but I can't help that I have nothing but great experiences when I go places. And Third Eye Comics is a place that I constantly have great experiences! I am a loyal customer and absolutely dread the idea of buying my comics anywere but here. Steve and his staff are among the coolest people I have ever met. They welcome you from the second you walk in the door, they could be all the way in the back helping a customer and you'll still here them shout "WELCOME! How are you doing today?". They are always extremely helpful, always willing to show you around to find whatever you might be looking for. And you will always hear them say "if you need anything, just let me know" and they mean it! They will literally walk around the store and help you shop for your favorite superhero's latest exploits. Simply put, the staff rocks! The store itself has a great selection of comics (that are extremely well organized). I have never been to any comic store so well set-up. It makes finding what you're looking for incredibly easy (alphabetical order by title... screw you Dewey Decimal System!), and displays all comic titles (whether extremely well-known or ecclectically obscure) equally. This is something of a rarity, most places present to superhero posterboys/girls and hide the indie comics somewhere in the background. Not this store! There's also a great selection of comic related toys/tshirts that would make an excellent addition to any comic-fan's collection. These also make great gift ideas for that special nerd in your life... like me! ;) Third Eye Comics also has comic book signings from artists and writers, which are really fun events that give you the opportunity to chat/meet really talented people who don't normally get recognition for some of the really amazing work they produce. So if you're a fan, go show some support :) In conclusion let me just say: Third Eye Comics gets a well deserved 5 Stars! read more

This is without any doubt the greatest comic store I have ever had the pleasure of perusing for three hours. I came in looking for a few issues and to just poke around, and walked out with an enormous bag filled with $125 worth of comics. It was like a sequential fugue state. They had everything I was looking for and more. The store was chock full of first printings of series that were entirely sold out in NYC, had many out of print graphic novels, and staffed by the friendliest and most pleasant staff in any store I can think of, comics or otherwise. Excellent music, lighting, layout, displays--everything is top notch, friendly, and chill. I have no criticisms at all, except that I wish they were closer to NYC. It is in no way hyperbole to say that this is now a required stop on any trip to the DC / Virginia / Maryland area. ...Holy shit. I'm in love with you, Third Eye. read more

I went here to peruse and pick up a few comic books by a couple authors I follow. There are lots of staff on hand to answer your questions and help you find what you're looking for. I was able to locate all the comic books I was searching for and even a few new things. The place is pretty big and can be overwhelming but it's well organized (alphabetical) and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. My family and I went over to the game place next and I picked up a new game called Senet and we got a few collaborative games as well. Again, friendly and helpful staff ready to help you find what you need and search their database if it's not on the shelves. The stores are not connected but both entrances have a ramp for wheelchair access and ease. Masks are required and folks observed physical distancing for the most part. It was harder to maintain at the checkout, but the lines moved pretty quickly. I've been driving past this place for over a year so I'm glad I finally walked over! read more

This is an amazing place! It's comics offerings seems to the closest thing I've seen to complete. Not to mention the endless Meech, great staff, and over all fun and friendly vibe. Don't miss the sister store next door for amazing RPGs, board games, collectible trading card games, and an amazing environment to just "sit down and play!". The staff in both locations are equally amazing! We loved it, and can't wait to return! This is a place to dig into, and be a part of the greater gaming community! read more

This is comic shop is epic... I found the shop the first time by accident. I was driving around for a bit and noticed the shop. It's located in a small strip mall. Not a fancy one, Third Eye sits right on the end. You notice it because of the Third Eye Character logo. There is more than enough parking. Most of the attention is around the comic shop and the tattoo parlor. Just do your best to park near the comic shop. Be business minded. Third Eye Comic... There is so much to take in. From Anime, Toys, Clothing, Games, Graphic Novels and duh Comics. First, and most important, the Staff. Everyone is unbelievable. If they ever have a bad day, you don't see it. You are always greeted with a BIG WELCOME! And you realize you have been welcomed home. You are always asked if you need help, from the minute you enter...until the time you leave. Everyone is well knowledge and yes they even remember your name(I'm the button hat guy). Now on to the shop. Third Eye is a nice size comic shop. So, if you are a first timer...you are going to miss a lot of stuff. Trust me, it took three visits to get myself together. But, like a true gamer and comic lover here is a quick Guide to Third Eye. When you enter there will be...you thought I would spoil it? Never(haha). Please get up and go. It's a great place. They have comic signings very often. They also have hold boxes, for the people that can make it as often. And there is a rewards card, that works with the Belly App. Just get off your bums and go have some Third Eye Comic Fun read more

I love this store for all its dorktastic excellence. I recently took my wife and family to the store in Annapolis. Since I worked over at the Naval Academy for a year before, I had spotted this store's website more than once and thought about going there. Ironically, I waited till I was laid off from the Naval Academy position before making the trek to Third Eye. I still wasn't disappointed. Fact remains: This store is full of awesome and possibly the only way it could be made better is if pen and paper role-playing games figured more heavily into their theme. I understand that they don't have room for actual games to take place in the store, so selling RPG stuff is more risky as a result, but I hope eventually they will either buy the store next door and transform it into a gamer heaven or simply add more products. If they did, I would easily go there more often. Luckily for them, I am also a comic book nerd. read more

I can't begin to describe the utter joy that I had when I visited Third Eye Comics in Annapolis MD. I live near National Harbor, MD. I know that there are ok and decent comic shops nearby but I wanted to try the best from what I had read online. Third Eye not only delivered in a big way but exceeded my expectations beyond words. Excellent and helpful people that greet you and newbies like me - get a guided tour. I had planned 30 minutes for the visit. I was there an hour and 30 minutes. Oops! Walked out with great comics and TPBs that I had only seen offered online. I was so impressed with the selection, pricing and staff that I made a subscription service request the next day with a personal commitment to myself to head out there at least once a month. Can't say enough good things about this comic store. Thanks - Chad read more

Out of the local comic shops, this place reigns supreme for a few reasons. One: The owners REALLY love their job, and are some of the most helpful and knowledgeable folks I've ever run into in a comic store. And they do it without making you feel harassed or uncomfortable. Two: The owners not only remembered us a year after our first (and only) visit, but also remembered which book we were looking for a year ago. That's crazy. Three: Every time I go in, I find something new that I didn't know existed and am interested in checking out. Variety in product. And it's not predominantly licensed toys and t-shirts, but rather mostly books and games and things that aren't filler for tourists. read more

Want comics? Go to Third Eye Comic. What? i need to write more? Okay, Third Eye is the best comic shop in Maryland, seriously. They have everything! Single issues (and pull lists), trades, graphic novels, toys, games, clothes, swords (yes, SWORDS), and just about every other nerdy accessory you could imagine. There's stuff for all ages and tastes. The staff is amazing and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the store, some how they remember your name and what you were into (i think Steve built robot employees). Steve will seriously remember what you like and give you the best recommendations for new titles (i think its his mutant power). Sure you could probably buy comics online, but Third Eye has signings and special events ALL THE TIME! Big name comic artists and writers are always stopping by for signings. The shop is conveniently located right off the highway with a good amount of parking and close to tons of other shops. It is easily one of the best shops around, stop reading and go get some excellent reads. Now if only i could figure out how to get in and out without spending over a hundred bucks every time. read more

Do you know why I love this place? All the reasons. My fiancee and I stop by here once or twice a month to for our regular series and pick up some mystery boxes, trinkets and the what not. I have to say, we get really excited about it. I have to say customer service here is ace. The staff is probably the greatest group of people I've ever had the pleasure of shopping with. Everyone, somehow, remembers what you like and always has something to talk with you about. The place is fantastically organized. something about the checkerboard floor and the eye level placement of things really makes me feel like I'm a kid again. I have never gone in and not left with everything I went in for plus some! If you want to rekindle your love of comics and all things comic related stop by here for 10 minutes. Seriously, that's all you need. read more

I love this place. They are massive and the whole staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. You can't find what you want? They'll take you to it. They don't have it? They'll order it if possible. All those options are off the table or you still want something in the meantime? They'll ask what you're in to and show you some awesome things you might not have read yet. They have events and signings all the time and the best selection of comics I've ever seen- and they have tons of board and card games and nerd swag. It's like heaven. read more
