I really enjoyed my time at Pure Panic! The people here are super friendly, both staff and other…read morecustomers, with their recommendations and comic knowledge, even for someone as casual as me. Everything is priced fine I'd say. First floor was comics and some toys, and the downstairs was for Magic I think. They have DC, Marvel, other graphic novels, anime merch, manga, and card games. Was able to find the comic I wanted easily. Good selection of new issues and variants as well. A seating area to read comics too. I'd definitely come again if I lived closer to this location!

I was wandering the neighborhood and stumbled upon this shop. It's been some years since I…read morecollected comic books because they started taking up too much space over the decades and because I started getting annoyed with DC and Marvel for their endless reboots, making everything I'd read before no longer cannon. However, I still love the characters and thought I'd pop in to see what's new since I stopped reading. I caught the owner at a moment when he had to care for a personal issue, as he was explaining to a customer that he had to step a way for a bit soon. I told him to feel free to kick me out and close the shop, I'm just there out of curiosity than a need to actually buy anything. I told him I'm a former collector. He insisted I stay and browse the comics and even take my time to read. I could mind the shop for him and just let anyone who comes in while he's away know that he will be back soon. I happily agreed and was a bit taken aback by his trust and kindness. He literally did leave me alone in his shop for a good 20 minutes. His is the sort of shop I preferred when I collected comics. The kind where the books are on the rack and you can flip through them a bit before you buy. This is in contrast to the stores that keep their comics bagged and you need to commit to buying before you know whether you will enjoy the storyline or the art. I don't live in the area, but if I did, I'd be a regular here. A small business definitely worth supporting.

A standard comic shop, but has the staples! I appreciate the variety they have with both DC and…read moreMarvel comics, as well as the variant covers - they were easy to look through and properly covered. Would say they were fairly priced for each comic, minus the rare or vintage ones. Also has manga, figures, and other series. Can be kind of crowded and small but cozy. The staff was chill and nice. I'm not sure about parking, as there seemed to be only a few spots devoted to the comic shop, but the metro is convenient and nearby the shop.

Super old school comic shop. I used to come here in the 70s as a kid to grab all the Iron Man…read morecomics I could afford. Back then it was a huge fire hazard -- shelves stacked floor to ceiling packed with comics and barely enough room to walk in between. I loved it!! They've moved since then, but only about 200 feet down the road. Same small shopping area. It's much more open so I do miss the stacks on top of stacks of comic books. The one lone guy in front and I chatted for quite a while. Told me the history over the last 30 years since I've just not been in. Nice sized selection, including a lot more slabs than I've seen in most comic shops. Definitely a must-stop-by if you're in the area.

I sent them an email and within the hour I get a personal phone call back from Aubrey, the sweetest, nicest, most genuine person, they explain the situation and just having a little hiccup, they go above and beyond and refund the 2nd half, and help me feel better about the mistake. I can't thank them enough but they have gotten a repeat customer. These people have my business and I hope the boss sees how amazing Aubrey is and how great she is at handling customers. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

If you are a collector of comics, Funko Pops, anime, or the like. this may be the place for you…read more We came on a trip specifically to visit Collectors Corner and we were impressed. They had a large store with clearly labeled although crowded, aisles of comic, anime, cartoon, manga, clothing, and other items. This store is clearly a comic book lovers dream with a library of new and vintage ones that were for sale. They even had a basement area filled with comic books to purchase in bulk and video games to play. All in all, if you are looking for a specific comic book, manga merch, anime merch, Funko Pops and the like to add to your collection, this store is a must visit.

Front and back with free to play arcade games means you can make a bit of time of it, hit the nearby brunch then wander down either memory or fandom lanes. A good showing here and well curated that shows they get it, without seeming like they're "too" interested in the odd hyper price hike cash grab in the space in some of the fandom frenzy areas. 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.

So, when you feel the need to feed your inner superhero head on over to Fantom Comics. A well organized oasis for comic books, mysteries, children's books, toys, and Japanese anime characters. I love the way the space is designed so you can sit and look at the books, before you buy them. I thought prices were reasonable and the quality of the comic books was great! Like brand new first editions, they were spotless. Service was excellent. The gentleman at the counter was so helpful and friendly. If your inner superhero is calling then head on over to Fantom Comics.

I'm always looking for fun or great comic book stores and love to support them. This one…read morewas...okay. It's a small store so I get it. They can't handle a lot of backstock. And I do appreciate that they have a fairly nice kids section. But their selection of books runs sparse and they have barely any other products. It's like they dabble in collectible card games without having anything substantial. PRODUCT: Really very little. Despite a huge sign proclaiming they sell Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Pokemon, they did not have anything substantial to offer and from the look of their old product, they don't carry much at all. In terms of comics, it's not much at all. They have far more graphic novels. I'm not sure if this place wants to be a book store more than a comic book store. SERVICE: Okay. Nothing spectacular. Didn't feel like I was valued or helped much. The stairway leading up to it was filthy. COST: Average. Not inflated but not inexpensive either. No real bargains.

Even better is the sale that was going on for the whole month of July in celebration of their anniversary! Overall, the shop was clean, bright, easy to peruse, had a really great selection of new acquisitions and older staples. I really appreciated the extensive horror section. The music playlist had great vibes, and the woman behind the counter was very personable and friendly. I left the shop with a graphic novel, manga (recommended by staff), a tote bag, sticker, and a single issue comic. Can't wait to visit again one day! **Note: The stairs leading to the front entrance of the shop might make this location inaccessible for some folks.
