The manager of this location is amazing and Ive never received such earnest customer service. So helpful and kind to everyone who came in. My kiddo and I will definitely make this a regular stop, youll be getting my holiday $$. Thank you for your help!
Awesome location. Staff and everyone there so nice and helpful. Was a great stop for free comic book day! So glad we went there.
Great assortment of PoP!s and other dope anime stuff. Comics, lots of comics. Friendly staff and cool pins! Go have fun!
Cool joint. Employees do seem over worked and a little stressed but they are doing great!
Very clean and well organized, staff is helpful and kind. They have a good selection of comic books.
Place was popular the day I went. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Great, well stocked and friendly comic shop. Great prices, we’ll be back!
Great comic shop with awesome employees. I love this place and cant recommend it highly enough. Beaverton is lucky to have this place.
Ive been a customer for 20 years. 1st was the Hollywood store, 2nd was the last Portland store before covid pandemic, Im glad to see the tfaw Milwaukee store is still thriving. The Beaverton store needs more attention.
Neat store nerdy stuff and fun games 😆
Awesome place to buy the latest issues of the witcher and Alien
Great small comic shop. Friendly staff. Good selection of new issues, statues and other comic related stuff. Pretty much the only game on the Westside.
Decent selection of comics, neatly organized and clean shop. Workers are real nice!
Whats not to love about this place? I was able to find two TPBs that Id been looking for along with a collection that was selling for double the price online.
The last few books in my subscription box have not shown up. Sure the mail system can be blamed but I went there yesterday for a second time to see if my books have shown up. They were there but in a box and the dude told me to come back later; he wouldnt give them to me then and there. Nevermind that the books came out a week ago and youre just getting them in, but now I have to make a third trip back to the store because you couldnt just open a box and give me the book. Its a damn good thing its the only comic store in a 20 minute radius or I would definitely be switching stores.
Good friendly comic shop
It was pleasant visit. Nice costumer service.
Good selection good costumer service. First time in there and they didnt have as big of a backlog as other TFAW stores.
A great friendly place. I was there for their funkos, which they had a lot of. They also had a bunch of comics and some games. While i cannot directly comment about their stuff other than funkos i was looking for, i can say that the shop person was extremely helpful. A couple regulars showed up while i was there and they got directed to what they were looking for and seemed pleased (based on what i overheard after they stopped talking to shop person). Also appears they will hold orders for you. Something about a box they have assigned to you.While not one of the shops i would normally goto, i do stop by frequently for their funkos and would recommend someone to check them out. They do not deal in everything, but what they do deal in they are a good place to visit. Shop person (sorry not sure if she is manager, owner, or employee) but she is extremely helpful.
Good variety of books but I was a little disappointed by the poster selection. The refrigerator 🧲 were nice.
Love it here. Got all your comic book needs. Staff is friendly and always willing to help answer your questions.
Clean and nice, kinda an odd spot to find but good merch there!
Very kind employee behind the counter. Has lots of comics and graphic novels. Also has some figures including NECA and diamond select.
Great place Friendly staff
This was my first time visiting this place. Very impressed. Tons of graphic novels, Funko pops, action figures, and high end statues. Everything was very reasonably priced. But what really made the place stand out was the great customer service. I think the fellow working the store was named Max. He knew my friend by his first name, and even allowed my wife to use my friends membership discount when making her purchase. She found a messenger bag, and some dice that she really liked. He also went to the trouble of unboxing a statue for us, just so we could get a good close look at the detail and quality. He even offered to set it aside for us, while we considered buying it. A person really couldnt ask for more from a comic shop. A great selection, great prices, and excellent customer service. We will definitely be visiting this place again. :)
Support your local comics shop.
Lots of good reads and deals on old issues. Only downside is they dont bag and board your books for you like other comic stores Ive had subscriptions through
Fantastic place, they have a great subscription service, mostly new comics and collectibles. Not super great on back issues but you can purchase from their website and pick it up in the store for free shipping
It varies on what they carry but I always enjoy their selection.
Great place! Fun stuff!
A great store with very helpful and friendly staff.
Really cute little comic store. The comic book selection itself seemed a little small, but there were plenty of fun, cute, nerdy toys and figures and little thingys to look through that made it a fun visit. Weve been there a few times now, and every time the staff has been very friendly and helpful. If youre going there to pick up a recent comic issue, Id maybe just call ahead to see if they have it before you head over.
Nice comic book shop. Main focus is comic books, they have a few action figures, some rpg stuff, etc.... Found a Star Wars cross stitch kit there. Unexpected. 😊 Guy in store seemed real nice.
Favorite comic book stop in Beaverton! Always friendly, great prices and they are adhering to the CDC guidelines!
Recently moved to the area and visited several stores trying to find a new home for all my nerdy needs and Things From Another World is definitely it. Staff was absolutely excellent and the store has everything you could ever want at very reasonable prices. Cant wait to have enough free time to attend events and get to know everybody. I highly recommend this place!
Nice little shop, but you can tell its a corporate run establishment. Kind of cookie cutter bit with some neat finds spread throughout. Bonus points for having a Lord Shaxx from D2 statuette!
Pretty swell
Friendly and helpful!
Good selection friendly staff
Good store but you have to go in knowing what comics you want. They dont let you see inside the comics. How am I supposed to know if its any good? If you spend 4 or 5 bucks on multiple bad comics well you just wasted money. So go to the website to see a blurb of the comic, hassle though.
Super awesome friendly service. Great selection of comics, and collectables. If you plan on getting a couple titles regularly I highly recommend getting set up with a box here and getting the 10% off you purchases.
Always a great place to stop in and buy comics and other fun things
Quality product. I just wish they had a different organization of their comics, but I gave them a 5 star since they seem to have a pretty good system in place already. 10/10 Will return soon for more graphic novels!My only wish is they had vertigo separated from dc because I love vertigo. Staff seems to be very knowledgeable about their products and always willing to make a great recommendation.
This is such a great place! Thoughtful and knowledgeable staff who are always ready to any sort of question - whether you are an aficionado or clueless about the comic universe. They make my older Aspergers son feel so at home and for that I am eternally grateful.
If you love comics and have the extra time and cash to browse and buy...employees are great for asking questions
I love the selection, one star down though, their website didnt mention that they were closed for inventory, on a school district grading day.
Comic book stores are a dying breed with the introduction of the internet so many decades ago. This place needs your business, because it thrives off of passionate fans of comics, board games, and fun merchandise. Keep this one open. The shelves are always stocked with new things, and the quality of product is astounding for the variety of things they sell.
Great spot! This place has EVERYTHING! Vintage comics, fun stuff & plastic mayhem aplenty. Righteous good times.
Ive had a subscription box at Things From Another World since high school. They always have something new and cool to check out. Im getting my grade school aged daughter into comics now and making our monthly visit here is a great time we share. Admittedly, the selection at the Beaverton store isnt quite as large as some of the other stores, but its much closer to our house so its easier to make it in here.
One of our favorite shops in town!
Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I came in looking for a few figures and ended up walking out with a stack of graphic novels as well! The staff was great providing recommendations based on my interests. Will be back again!
Been going here since I was a kid. They stock way more toys and Pop! figures now. Sad to see so many singles go away but I understand it is part of the bussiness and evolution of the culture into more main stream than 20 years ago. They still have a great selection of new singles and trades though. The staff is awesome and they all really know their stuff.
Great little shop. Well organized, friendly staff, and lots of toys and cool collectibles. Wish it had a little more variety, but they will get anything you ask for if they dont have it in stock. Portlands go-to, locally-owned chain.
Selection of products is definitely impressive for how small a shop it is. Great range of items from comics, toys, apparel, and Misc. I certainly enjoy the Misc because Im always fascinated by what strange new items they have in stock whenever I visit. The staff has always been very nice and helpful. I once saw an employee sprint down the street because a customer had left his wallet. Pretty impressive :-). The only thing I dont like about TFAW is that their markup seems to be pretty high. Items are pretty expensive compared to what you might find for the same items online.
Cool vibe😎! A ton of selection!
Great customer service and they know a lot about comic books, graphic novels, and geeky stuff. If they dont have any thing they will order it if they can. One of the last few places of its caliber to buy this kind of stuff from. Great place!
Kinda hard to find. Not super accessible in terms of parking. And using a wheelchair inside is fine, if there is literally no one else in the store. If theres more than a couple of people, getting around in a wheelchair to look at the store or move around without being in the way is almost impossible.
They have a ton of funko pops and a good selection of trades, comics and omnibus!
So many cool things. Super friendly staff.
Just found out about heroclix a few days ago and called around to a bunch of places, these guys had the most options as well as helped me out the most getting into it. Super helpful and excited for the support in a new hobby.
Our favorite comic and other fun stuff store. We attend the FCBD here every year. Along with what appears to be a large selection of comics there are also figurines, accessories, game cards, dice, and so much more. Its a fun place to check out.
Great selection of comics, cool figures, super friendly staff. I love visiting since its so close to home. :3
Just got my kids first comics with special help from the attentive, helpful, nice staff. Love this spot!
A pretty decent comic shop with helpful staff. I can never seem to find what Im looking for but I always find a lot of other stuff thats just as good.
Went there for Free Comic Book Day and was impressed with the wide selection of new, old, and collected editions of comics they had. They also sell a decent amount of comic/pop culture character physical merchandise, and some popular cult board games. The staff was helpful, albiet flustered because of the day I was in. A good place to stop for comics.
Great comic shop in Beaverton with a very friendly staff. They have boardgames available to try before buying which is great. More shops need to do that. They also have a very large selection of comics, graphic novels and collectibles.
A great comic book and geek swag shop! Stop in and you wont be disappointed. The staff is happy to help me find stuff and my family always leaves happy.If you come for Free Comic Book Day, expect to see a line around the block.
I like this place because customer service was great and they had 20% off all Batman things for Batman Day!
To call this spot a comic book store is an understatement, its more of a gateway to Narnia. The staff are expressly knowageable on a broad selection of topics and are always smiling. If youre having issues finding what to read next this is the store to visit.
Ive been going to this store since I was in Jr. High (80s)...back when it was Pegasus. Love the comics (sad to see the old collectors comics leave though)n games and other swag. And James is pretty cool too ;)
The quintessential comic book store!Sensory overload of the comic book universe & beyond.... (collectibles & games)Great staff & welcoming atmosphere.
Great little shop has a big assortment for such a small space. Friendly helpful staff. Definitely worth a visit if you love comics and related things.
Great local comic book store. Staff is always friendly
Love this store. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who love to chat people up and turn you on to stuff you might not have even considered. Basically the opposite of The Comic Book Guy in The Simpsons place. You arent going to get looked down on cause youre not an avid collector
Very cosy store, friendly and helpful owner. Have to visit!
Things From Another World is the only place I will go for comics anymore. They have an incredible staff that is very friendly and always helpful when Im trying to track down a specific comic. They also keep their prices at MSRP on things like Magic: The Gathering and other games like that. Which sets them apart from all the other retail chains that mark that kind of product up. I cant recommend this place enough for anyones comic books and general nerd needs!
Ive had a subscription box there since 1989 and love the place (obviously) - that was when they were still Pegasus. They always have great people working there who are always helpful. It feels like Home.
When I was 15-16 I fell in love with this shop and spent a good amount of time in it, sadly I had moved out of the area for several years. 11 years later (and moving back to the area) I walked into TFAW with a big grin on my face as nostalgia swept over me. The people are fantastic, the Doctor Who corner excited me at first sight, stocked with new and old items, trinkets and patches, theres so much to look at and so many I wants and just not enough money in my pocket. If you havent stopped by, I say do so; its a must!
Omg so much fun to go and look around! I took my 10 year old the other day and the look on his face was like hed just found gold. We were able to get an item sent from the Portland store to the Beaverton store, with just a very helpful staff member, Ana I believe. If you are a geek, go geek out. There is something for you in there.
I love everything about this store. The staff is amazing, they have great prices, and they can order anything they dont have in stock!
The staff is always friendly and helpful, lots of trades and new comics, there are quite a few toys and cards too. I always enjoy coming in to pick up my pull box orders and usually end up leaving with a few unexpected comics as well.
Super friendly workers and a very great store filled with every nerdy thing you could imagine! Love going here when ever in in the area.
Great little shop close into town. Have had a box here for many years. Glad I do.
Absolutely crazy great place to stop in and get your gaming gear. Loads of collectables and comics, with anime as well. I highly recommend this place.
Cool little store! My boyfriend and I decided to check it out and we had a fun time looking around and nerding out, he even bought a handful of comics, prices are reasonable, and staff was very helpful and friendly, were definitely coming back!
Wide variety of books, games, and other interesting things!
This store has everything - comic books, old and new, accessories, toys, and apparel. Dungeons and Dragons. Dr. Who. Manga. The staff is very helpful as well. If they dont have it, they might be able to get it or find it. Good for nerds of all ages.
Super friendly employees, great selection of current books and collectibles!
Comic shop. My personal weakness. Great people.
Great staff and nice selection, new comics only.
I went for Free Comic Book day and the store was very busy but the employees knew what they were doing and kept it as organized as could be! I will gladly go back on a regular shopping day.
Always a fun store to be in for the pop culture fanatic.
Great place, helpful staff, wish they had more selection in comic books. They have gundam plastic models here!
Avoid Mail-order subscription. Every shipment comes with bent corners due to their poor packaging.
Free comic book day. Their shop is packed with wonderful items.
Friendly shop usually has great deals on Saturday for MtG products
