Pushy sales practices, and egged me on to buy a MTG Starter Commander deck for $45. I am new to the hobby and was ignorant on the MSRP of these decks of 19.99. I expected a slight markup being at a convention but this is an insane price, I'm disappointed in myself but also this shoddy business. I was just looking for a gift to get an impoverished child into a hobby. I love supporting local businesses and moving away from everything online, but prices like this aren't sustainable to your consumers. Don't be a sucker like me. read more

The staff is awesome and very helpful. That have a great selection of comics, cards, and figures. Prices were fair especially compared to other stores I've checked out. Will definitely be returning. read more

First everything was so expensive 11 dollars for 1 pack that has the market price of 7 like what the fuck and 55 bucks for a booster bundle like what is this place. So 1 star read more

Panini cards are the reason for my involvement nice price ok selection hobby breaking

If you're a comic collector, know that they will search whatever you bring to them on eBay and charge you around the highest price they can find regardless of condition. Do you subscribe to comics? Forget doing it here. They absolutely will not get you the variant you request (and I'm speaking of non-ratios too). There are better places in central MS to get your comics. read more

They have a good selection and they do good with the community things like tournaments and stuff like that, but every time I come in there either to try to sell a card or buy cards the workers will always have a condescending tone. It looks like a cool place to hang out and have fun but I wouldn't waste my time on buying any single cards or things that aren't sealed. You should just buy everything you're interested in somewhere else or online. And if you're interested in selling anything just dont. They only give 60% of the cards worth back to you. It's not worth it. read more

This garbage game store only sells to locals. Told me directly that since we weren't from his town he wouldn't sell lorcana.

*Disclaimer... this post was not written by a dedicated nerdy gamer... but I'm the mom of 3 of them(plus two kids-in-law) --and I love playing table top games and card.... The service at Van's is top tier (that sounds like a word my youngest gamer son would say), and they really foster a community of gaming both in store and out... Their selection is awesome and people are very knowledgeable. It's like visiting a new church and everybody's trying to make sure you come back. (without all the judgment)... I called ahead of time to see if they had the game I was looking for... They grabbed it and put it behind the counter for me since they had only one, and when I got there one of the owners proceeded to show me around and tell me about other games. My nerdy male friend says it's just because a woman in a gaming shop is a unicorn... but whatever. I'm excited to join their board game gatherings in the future!! This place is a community! I went to their store in Madison years ago when my kids were younger and remember a similar experience... I love supporting local businesses and this is one of them! If you've been thinking about a new board game, toy (action figure????) or whatever Warhammer is... Run, don't walk to Van's. Oh, and they have free pizza and cheap beer!!! Need I say more? Really... why aren't you in your car headed there now? read more

I love this place! They are super friendly and extremely helpful! They sell board games, comics, and paints for miniatures. We come in for the board games. They have a pretty good selection, and if they don't have it, they can order it. They are also really knowledgeable on all kinds of games, so they can give you suggestions based off of your preferences. It's a great place. Also they do boards game nights where you can come meet up and play with other local gamers. read more

Did not like Ben. He did not want to be there or help. He really left his coworker out to dry. His coworker on the other hand seamed pleasant and just really wanted ben to do his job. read more

Very kind and very helpful. They have a nice selection of magic the gathering and have a lot of good singles I didn't entirely expect them to have. read more

Literally the ONLY place in the area that provides a gaming service worth coming to. Fantastic service. I love it here. They have board games, table games, card games, miniatures, paints, etc. We're in here all the time. Come see these guys if you're interested in getting involved with anything I mentioned above. read more

Went in the first time had a slight problem with the staff having lack of knowledge of products. The owner Travis contacted me immediately and asked if I had time to stop by and discuss the issue in greater detail. Not only did he fix the issue but he promised to get his staff better product knowledge. I also picked up two hilarious games for the family to enjoy. read more

In between the high mark-up, relative uselessness of the staff, and the number of times I have been there during business hours to find the door locked, I can't really recommend the place. Having said that, if you go there and forage for yourself, the selection isn't bad. read more

Van's Comics, predictably run by Van himself, is another Jackson-metro comic shop that's been around forever. Van's a great guy and good at pulling subscriptions for you. His shop is the largest comic shop in the area. The current location has a gaming room that he rents out (I think) for D&D, Magic, Warhammer, etc. He also sells action figures, busts, manga, gaming books, dice, and more. He even rents out anime! read more

Where to begin? Are you a loyal customer, with a $500 a week pull list? Van will gladly sell those books to the first person who walks through the door. He is greedy and only sees short term profit. Go to Comic Commander instead! read more

I've been to this comic book store a few times and each time the owner is very helpful. They have such a huge selection of comics. I would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a good selection of comics. read more

This is a fantastic little comic book store. It is well-stocked, the atmosphere is friendly, and you'd be hard-pressed to find an owner who cares more about his customers than Van. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Don't Waste you time if your going there trying to sell Yu-gi-oh cards. I even called and asked, and they said yes we will buy them. Just look them up on TCGplayer first so you know what the best ones for us to check are. Did it. Went up the had him check. he made me an offer and i said ok. Then he tells me his boss dont even want to buy them. so after 20 minutes of waiting and wasting the gas to get there. It was all a waste of time. Dont say you'll buy some thing , and then not. read more

All around awesome shop, full of everything nerds love to gawk at, myself included. Came in wanting to start a comic collection and they helped me find a comic that interest me and had just started, so I got to begin my collection with issue 1 of Reborn! Great experience! read more

Very unprofessional, was clear the owner did not want any customers. Had been there for about 20 minutes looking through comics as I had never been. While looking through Van called over and told me that if I were going to get something I would have already and I needed to leave. I would have understood if I was bothering or being loud I was not doing either. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

As an avid Warhammer 40k player, Van's is the best shop in Jackson for this hobby. He offers very good prices compared to the other Hobby store in town that stocks Warhammer 40k, and he is very willing to make special orders for you. I've been to several stores over the years and his is the most friendly. read more

Very disappointed in the service from this store. Very rude to my friends and I. The owner kicked us out after about 20 minutes, saying "You should know by now if you want something." The guy needs to work on his customer service skills. Do not recommend this store to anyone. I'm not even a huge comic fan, I just went with a few friends that are. Just not a very good place if you want a enjoyable shopping experience. read more

Been going here for a few months now. Owners are honest and care about gamers. They host games all the time and often bring in FREE Pizza during events. Shop has a huge selection of comics, cards and games (hence the name). They keep an array of drinks and snacks to accompany the pizza. I really like that they're pricing is almost always aligned with TCG market read more

Simply put, the best. Van is an awesome guy and does everything he can to help you out. The store has a great selection and it singlehandedly turned me from a anti-comic snob to a comic lover. All go all over the country and visit shops in all the major cities and wouldn't trade any of them for vans. read more

Very disappointed in the owner/staff of this comic book store. Very rude towards customers. Everyone would be better off ordering all comics online or better yet, traveling somewhere else to purchase. I don't even think this place is worthy of one star. read more

Fantastic shop. You won't find a nicer guy than Van either. Extremely helpful & dedicated to serving the customer. Only been in a couple of times so far, but I'm already a fan! read more

staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. they have opened games you can check out and lots of game events ongoing.

The owner makes this store terrible. The lack of professionalism is abundantly present in how he handles pre-orders on items and sells comics out of the boxes that customers have reserved. You are better off ordering items off-line or checking other stores around town. I would advise against any table top gaming at this store as well, as his hours change depending on his mood and if you have bought anything there recently. read more

Dont tip the box. They are very anal. You must be able to move long boxes 14 miles to look through them. They sort everything backwards!

i went to vans comics and cards looking for a new issue of puppetmaster and was not only disapointed by the service but was treated poorly and rudely by him as i walked in with a bag i was accused of trying to steal when i only had chips in it and my friends where treated poorly as they tired to defend me i would not choose this place to buy anything . read more
