A nerdy little paradise. Tabletop games, comics, manga, plushies, figures, collectables, D&D miniatures, and that's not even everything.

The staff was super nice, offering help and answering questions, even making a comic recommendation because he heard us talking about Studio Ghibli. Their tabletop selection is MASSIVE. I don't know how it compares to other stores, but it took up most of the basement and they had things I hadn't heard of before. Show less

Still one of our favorites. It's a welcoming place, with smiling faces and an upbeat atmosphere. My husband stops regularly to pick up the latest comic books he's reading. We often find a great graphic novel, book about cooking, or kids' book to pick up as well. I love the plush collection, especially the Yummy World and Squishables, though there are lots of others. The downstairs is devoted to games of all kinds. Can't forget the snacks by the counter. If you aren't sure what you're looking for, they are amazing at giving a recommendation. The highlight of our week is stopping here to see the friendly faces, hear the latest reading recommendations, pick up new releases, and check out the wide selection of books, plushies, and games that are offered.

I’ve been to this place twice and admire it. They have one of the best comic book collections and board games. I have found every game I’ve seen on the internet.

Being a fan of anything nerdy absolutely drew me to go inside and check things out. This place is huge and is beautifully displayed. if you are into pop culture board games comic books and everything in between then this is definitely the place worth stopping and checking out. the staff here was very friendly and I was shown the basement which has a huge collection of board games and lots of back issues of comics. There are a ton of gifts here and different collector items of nearly everything you can think of. Definitely a must visit if you take a stroll down Main Street. Show less

Never coming back to this location. I went there for the release of the new Christmas Sonny Angels. When I got there I saw that the regular Sonny Angels were on the front counter like they usually are, but for the first time in my experience the new ones were back behind the counter. The first thing I asked the cashier, a middle aged woman, was if I could choose my boxes myself, and was immediately told no. So I asked if this was the case at all of their locations and was told it was a "company-wide policy." So, after being told that I wouldn't be able to choose my boxes at any of their locations, I made my purchase in which the cashier chose my boxes for me. I then went to the Detroit location and immediately noticed that the new Sonny Angels were out on display where you are allowed to grab them yourself. So, whoever the middle aged woman working the register at approximately 11am on 11/28/25 is, lied to me and wasted my time and my money. This location will never see my business again. The employees at the Detroit location were very kind and apologized on behalf of the Ann Arbor location when I explained to them what happened. Show less

This comic book store in Ann Arbor has been on my pull list for ages (blame adulting!), but I finally got to drop by yesterday. Let me tell you, it was like walking into a superhero's origin story - clean, colorful, and bursting with potential. Plus, the staff were awesome, even while wrangling a confused shoplifter. (Hey, nobody said saving the day from evil was easy!) Now, the shoplifter situation was a little...eccentric. This person wasn't exactly Lex Luthor mastermind material, more like a lost minion. But the staff handled it with more grace than I could muster. So yeah, major props to them! In short, this store is a fantastic find for all your geeky needs. I highly recommend checking it out!

I was a buying a bunch of copies of a comic that had been on the shelf for weeks. I was so excited to get multiple issues of my favorite comic that were just collecting dust on their shelves. I start to check out and happily discuss how sweet it is to find these and buy them. Both cashiers were fine with everything until I mentioned my daughter and my happiness to make this purchase, at that time the cashier that wasn't even helping me leaves a long line of customers to get permission to deny my purchase. She smiles glowingly as she takes my purchase away from me. There was no reason for her to do this. There was 60+ books left for others to buy and none were sold in the last 3 weeks. I asked for the manager and as he backed her up on not selling me the books, she smirked at me. I let that nasty little woman, Kira, know what type of behavior that was and then I left. She didn't mention any rule for minutes until I talked about how happy this purchase was going to make me. She loved ruining my day as her face clearly reflected. The owner of the store actually had the audacity to call me and gaslight me about the entire situation and then ask me not to come back. The short, stout, pierced, died hair woman and the dark skinned manager are bigoted to my skin type and sexual preference. They choose to treat me that way because of their own prejudice and beliefs. Unbelievable that the owner called and told me Kira didn't behave as she did. Gaslighting a customer.... This is the new Ann Arbor mentality at it's finest. Don't forget they have awful parking. Pay on the street or walk a mile. Their subscription box usually has wrong comics that you are expected to purchase while missing the ones you asked for. The staff wouldn't help find comics downstairs and didn't even know where to look for the exact comic asked for. Too many uneducated and unmotivated staff. Real collectors will have a challenge shopping here. This shop is mostly for tourists or people that don't have access to other comic shops. Go online or check out comic city locations and stadium comics for far better prices and staff. The owner continues to gaslight in his nasty reply to this, read below. Never once did he try to help the situation out, he is just trying to make me into the bad guy and gaslight me and the readers. Show less
