Have been to this location on many a time. I have to say it has to be the most displeasing place I have been to. You start off by walking in to the smell of «fun» smell of teen body odor. They enjoy playing their card games there for hours and hours. Once you can get passed the smell and actually look for comics you will notice that they under order on almost everything if they even order it at all. They over price things. The price of their comics on the wall are outrageous. Oh, here is a fun fact. The rebirth comic for the Justice League just came out and they are selling them for $ 40 a comic. Why? Because they don’t print them anymore. ??? Wth? Okay? I can see $ 5 maybe $ 10…but $ 40, are you serious? Someone thinks very highly of themselves. Go to their sister store down in Fort Worth off of Jacksboro hwy. They are way better without the smell or the over priced comics.

Love this place! There’s a bit of a markup on their boardgames but nothing crazy, maybe 15%. They have a really great selection of boardgames to choose from and nothing beats picking something out so you can go home and play it right away. The last few times I’ve been to Sci Fi Factory there were all sorts of tabletop games being played in the left half of the store – big groups of people playing Warhammer 40K and Magic the Gathering. The girl at the register also said that they have Dungeons & Dragons groups that meet there during the week. It’s pretty cool seeing the local gaming community gathered like that! The noise level was pretty low for the amount of people in the shop, too :) That said… the whole store smells a little sour, like comic-con sweat + farts, but that’s just nerd funk I guess. Still, maybe an air purifier and some Febreze will help a bit during game nights. Woof!

This place is great, however if you’re looking for comic books you will be sadly disappointed. You walk in and about ¾ of the store is gaming tables occupied by gamers of various shapes, ages, and sizes. The other quarter of the store sells plushies, t-shirts, collectibles from movies, comic books series along with shows such as Adventure Time and MIL. You can buy basic supplies for Warhammer 40k, Magic the Gathering and other games. In addition to that they do sell comic books(both new and vintage) but if you’re a purist this place may not be your cup of tea. One awesome thing I noticed that they stocked at this store was old vintage DIY models of Star Wars and Star Trek models. My uncles used to have these when I was a kid. Anyways, if you’re looking for a social gaming place — this is definitely your place. You can even get food delivered to the store for you.

While it’s true, they are a bit unorthodox in the way they sell their new comics, the staff is very friendly, helpful, and passionate about their products. The owner is a great guy who will talk comics with you all day. And the other folks up there are equally helpful. Don’t shy away from going there for new comics, just have them set you up a pull list and they will have your books waiting for you when you get there. Great selection, and you can trade video games, comics etc for store credit. I traded in an old PS3 game and got a great amount in trade, which I turned in to new comics. Can’t beat that. If you have been here before and never been back, give them another try.

Despite living close to this shop for over a year, I finally stopped by about a month ago. I was looking for a board game and they had the one I was looking for, had a good overall selection, and we’re able to tell me when another I was interested in would be in. It was also Pokemon night however it wasn’t at all dominating the store. This place has a bit of everything, from board games to comics to video games and specialty nights. More of a jack of all trades than a specific focus but I appreciate that. Will definitely frequent again and am hoping to make it on a Tuesday board game night.

For new comic books this place is not the place to go. all comics were put in bins and they seemed to have some decent back issues for cheap. However everything was in bins and it was a huge gaming night so I couldn’t get to the new comics because tables were in the way. There had to be 30 people or more in the store that is prob a record for a comic store … But they were all playing games or scarfing down food. I was going to move my business here instead of going to lewisville but I get great service at my current store and compared to sci fi its worth the distance. I was never greeted at all at sci fi and its set up more for gaming. If u love gaming go here u will be in heaven. If u love comics avoid this place it will just make u sad. Sure wish there was a true comic book store close

I game there regularly. I also buy my RPG books there and thoroughly love this place. I have been to many other stores in the DFW area and am so excited that I finally found one to call home. To one one guy who had a bad experience, the gamers are not employees. They are just that locals who go and game there. The employee may have been in the back working on something I don’t know but that experience is not the norm that is all I will say. Great bunch of guys!

A nice place to shop for games and buy comics! Good tables for gaming, also.
