Definitely a hidden gem… with an awesome staff and great stock of comics mixed with the arcade in the back and magic tournaments… this place is worth looking into

This store has been an institution and a local legend for my friends and I, since we first started going to comic book and gaming shops as youngsters. Its current incarnation is neato! I love the old-fashioned arcade in back, and Dan’s customer service has been top notch every time I’ve shopped there. I trust his recommendations when I ask about new comics to read, and he hasn’t steered me wrong yet! Whenever I can, I make the trip north from Seattle to shop here when it’s time for more graphic novels. I’d give it six stars if Unilocal would let me!

I had a great visit at this place. This is a place that I’ve been curious about it, each and every time I’ve been in the Mount Vernon area. Finally, I was there during a time when it was open. Good. Hubby liked the comic selection, and made a purchase. I played some of the vintage arcade games in the back. It was fun. The place reminded me of a store long gone from the San Francisco Bay area– Star Base Central in Mountain View. The next time I’m in the area, I’ll stop by. It’s worth it.

This is the coolest comic book store I’ve ever been to. They don’t have a whole lot of older comics but they have a very wide variety of graphic novels and newer issues. I can understand what the other review is talking about when they say the staff is cliquey, but they are really friendly and knowledgable if you ask them for help. The coolest thing about this place that sets them part from other comic book stores is the game room in the back. They have a wide variety of arcade games that are only 25 cents each and they have a section to the side where people can gather to play games as a group. The coolest nerd hang out by far!

I tried to buy a figurine, but when I went to pay the guy told me to wait while he was at the computer. I thought ok I can wait, he’s probably doing something important, four minutes later I asked him what he was doing. Apparently he was playing a computer game while a line was building up in front of the counter. I don’t think I’ll be back there again.

Tried coming here a few times when I first move to the area and again for some Magic set releases. I always feel like I’m welcome, as a customer, but that I’m not part of their clique, so I’m ostracized. Even when I’m just looking around or asking the owner about something specific, they always make me feel like they’re waiting for me, and others they don’t «know» to leave…
