Every time I go in and check it out they always have good stuff. I usually check out the glasses or statues they have on display. Im never disappointed. Ill be going back.
While not my favorite place to get comics, the staff is always helpful and their selection of back issues is the best. They also have an excellent supply of comic storage supplies and can usually help you find whatever youre looking for.Support local business, and visit your local comic store today.
My husband and I normally go to the cat on Jefferson and its a 5*. The woman who works there is great! Always smiling and willing to help. We even had them do our weekly pulls. But than we needed to go to their other store on Maple crest a few times, where its totally opposite. The employee and owner were snippy with each other.(Which explains attitude of employee the previous visit.) Their attitudes were so bad towards each other and towards us, were stopping our pulls all together.
Comic store with a decent selection of boardgames and rpgs - staff are very nice and helpful!
I always enjoy coming here, nice selection of comics old and new. Staff is beyond helpful and they are very knowledgeable. Also great spot to get DND stuff, games, funko pops, and tools to paint miniatures. Definitely my go to for comics!
Everything you could ever want in a comic store. Friendly/knowledgable staff, varied selection, clear displays, and an immense collection of back issues. This place has been around for years and its easy to see why. Exactly what a neighborhood comic shop should be.
Great selection and the owner is very knowledgeable and will help you find what you want and can make suggestions for where to pick up a series.
Great place to shop for comics. Staff is friendly and they will mail comics too you!
I get all of my comic books here. Recommend it. Friendly staff and good prices
If you wanna place that has the books and comics, and knowledgeable staff to guide you. This is the place.
Always friendly staff when I go in there, love stopping in.
Huge amount of stock and the option to order books as they come in. Support your local comic stores! Also a great source of paint for miniatures.
They are very polite & helpful... I will definitely be back
If you didnt find something here for you, you didnt look hard enough. They have EVERYTHING!
Great selection. Knowledgeable staff.
Great place for comics. Very friendly and knowledgeable folks
New comics and a LOT of old comics. Plus games and gaming supplies.
Full retail prices but good selection, local owner, neat atmosphere. Happy to be a patron.
Great place and people, I may only spend four bucks a month there but these guys they take the time to talk to you like you spent $1,000 means a lot.
Good overall store and people!
Love the atmosphere everyone is always so friendly
Nice shop very fair pricing
Bought a comic that came in less than perfect shape from a vendor. I got a replacement with no questions asked. Every employee there always tells me if they have what I need. If they dont, they tell me when they can have it. Thanks guys! Ill be back again.
My son shops there. I didnt go in
Good selection of titles and back issues. The staff will pull your orders monthly and mail them to you. They will go above and beyond to make sure they do whatever they can to serve you the best they can.
Great collection of comics, trades and some omnibuss. There were also funkos, figure statues, and comic merchandise. Owner is super nice. Check this place out!
Its a comic book store, what else can be said? Its a no frills shop. Everything is organized and easy to find. I hadnt been in there since the early 90s. Came in to get my daughters comics to help them maybe start a collection.
Great service
We always support our local businesses and our comic book shop is no exception! Love this place
Great selection. Super helpful staff. Helped me find something age appropriate for my child.
My fav place in Fort Wayne for gaming supplies!
I always find way more than I am looking for when I go here... And Im never disappointed. Great selection and customer service sets this place apart!
Had fantagraphics titles at a reasonable price. Customer support was short with me.
A favorite stop for as long as I can remember! A decent collection for comics and things for the space they have. Its not a shop to haggle in, but I suppose if I were in that kind of mood, Id be elsewhere. Fairly priced at around market value for back issues and models. They dont package or board their new comics, but if thats what your looking for they would have to up the price. Its a good thing they sell those separately. A kind staff that always has good recommendations on new reads or can point you in the right direction if they dont have what your looking for.
Great selection of comics and other merchandise. I love how close it is to my area. Little pricey on some things though. Overall great store and friendly staff
Not into comics that much but took a buddy there to look at some stuff. Seems to have a pretty good variety.
Very nice selection of old and new books. Friendly service.
Seems this little hole-in-the-wall Comic & Hobby shop is a little non-descript. But do not let that fool you. Staff is fantastic. And they always seem to have what youre looking for.
Books Comics & Things is the best place in the city to buy your comics. Courtney, Chad, and Tracy are phenomenal.
Editing my previous review which complained of a male employee being cruel to a female one - that dynamic is now gone and the store is a much calmer place to visit. No gaming tables but a good selection of various comics and games. The only annoyances generally come from some of the more eccentric customers, ha.
Its a small comic book store with LOTS of inventory. Didnt find what I needed but the guy working took my name and number if they ever get it in. He seemed sad.
I like coming they have a good variety of comics. You can get the new ones, and you can get the older ones that are harder to find. The also have supplies for people that make, and paint characters.
Great hometown store, friendly people and nice selection
All I had to do was say I was looking for the first appearance of Rouge in a Marvel book. Without even looking I. The computer they knew what book I wanted. And had it in stock. Wonderful place. Wonderful staff.
They have a section of comics just for kids, which is awesome so I dont have to explain some of the graphic content on the cover of adult comics to a 5 year old. A Fort Wayne staple for the comic/graphic novel culture.
Awesome shop, super friendly they looked up a few books for me and helped me fill in some gaps in my collection. My wife enjoyed the shop and shes not even into comics. Highly suggest the store.
Nice selection. Not what I needed though. They do not buy game cards of any sort.
Always a fun trip. Great selection and friendly service.
Ive been going to Books, Comics & Things since 1989 and they have always been my favorite comic store. Everyone is very friendly, comics and back issues reasonably priced, and a very good selection. I now live nearly 100 miles away, but its still worth the trip to go.
This store has been serving Georgetown with comics and tabletop supplies for as long as I can remember. Friendly staff and easy to navigate, perfect to pick up an issue or grab some dice, or maybe a new board game!
Called they’re searching around for a certain item they said they had it in stock. I drove all the way there 15 miles one way to find out that he never had it.
My boy Tristen loved it! Nuff said
Great store! Helped me find some obscure sized toploaders and had delivery within 2 days. Faster than Amazon!!
Always a great time good prices great selection
Great place. Has a lot of paints and will order whatever comics you like. Also very friendly and will take the time to help and explain anything.
I love comics and the place has so many If i could live there i would
Lots of back issues, but poorly organized. I had to look in three different M boxes that were all internally alphabetical, but not alphabetical between the boxes. Found one issue I wanted, but no cash on me and they had a $5 minimum for credit cards. The dollar bin comics had price tags on them higher than $1, so not sure how to tell whats $1 and whats not if you bring them all to the register. Common 80s and 90s books were priced higher than I usually see at other stores around the Midwest. Id go back here to check it out while passing near, but wouldnt go out of my way to stop by.
Best place to buy comics. The staff is very knowledgeable and helping, they make you fell welcome when go in. They have a big selection of comics plus a very big collection of older comics.
Very nice store. Limited MTG supplies.
They always try to help me out getting what I want. They let me know when things are in and try to give me a heads up about things I may not know are coming out. Nice people.
Friendly staff and good selection. They were able to help me find something for my son, fill in some holes in my Sandman collection and provide some good leads for new stuff to read
Owner is very laid back and is nice. Good environment he dosent make you feel stupid for asking questions like alot of other shops like these tend to do. Definitely recommend going here for your needs
They had lots of Pokemon cards at good prices
There are a lot of options in products here and a very helpful staff. The only reason I dont buy my comic books here, is because you have to buy the plastic safe wrap separately for extra. The place I buy from has the comics inside the plastic for no additional cost.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic inventory.
Great collection of comics nice people great service
Needs more pokemon players experienced players wanted but we can take beginners to so anybody we can take anybody every Friday 6-9 PM books comics and things Maplecrest road across from Wendys!
I used to be really interested in the printed form of comic books. They do give me some enjoyment but not like they used to.
Best comics spot in town. Been going since I can remember and Im in my 30s!
Best comic book store in fort Wayne. Largest collection, best service, most knowledgeable, very friendly and great place altogether.
Poor services. They called me shoplifter. They would of got 5 if they were not so mean.they got good yugioh stuff that it
This wasnt my kinda store at first, as I had moved here from another state and the shops there are a bit different. However, this store has now grown on me and it is for sure one of my favorite shops, but for sure my favorite comic shop.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff, great selection of comic books, graphic novels, gaming supplies, and card games
Favorite comic book store to go to. if i call in advance they will hold the items i am looking for!
Ordered what i wanted. Nice, professional. Satisfied company
Great place!! Their staff is friendly and helpful.
The staff being so friendly and chill is probably the best thing. If youre getting into comics, or trying to find a comic you havent read yet, youre in good hands.
They always have what I need and even things I didnt know I needed! Love this place!!
From out of state, awesome service good selection of back issues. Only place I have been to that is better is Eddies in Pittsburgh.
Good place to get comic books in your gaming supplies
Just started collecting comics again the service is GREAT. Very helpful and very nice employees.
Had what I was looking for
Love this comic book store. They have something for everyone!
Very interesting. Store was well stocked and owner was very knowledgeable.
Even in a store full of customers they were happy to take my right to the comics I was looking for A+. I will be back for sure!
Great store! I like to buy Pokemon cards here and they sell them cheap and have loads of them, even have individual cards I may be looking for, and I might save up and buy marvel figurines
Great! Their comics are always organized and easy to find what youre looking for.
Okay place to buy current not much anything else
We order & pick up comics every week. Love to interact with staff and other customers
Its a good size comic book store. One of only a couple in Fort Wayne.
Great comic book store with lots of great things love it
Went with a dude. Not my normal scene. But others probably love it!
The best book store in Ft. Wayne for back issues. A reasonable selection but plan on paying exact retail or more. And no, they do not negotiate pricing at all. Seldomly, you can find an incorrectly priced book and get a great deal. Back issues are slightly overgraded which makes silver era books very expensive. You can get the same book online for substantially less in most cases. They do not bag and board new books which can be a little frustrating when expecting your new books to be NM+. The staff is courteous and are pretty good at knowing if theyve got a book youre looking for. Back issues are well organized and labeled where theyre easy to flip through them. They do not buy books year round, unless its a key book they do not have. Toy selection is plentiful and competitively priced. All around a solid store and the best in back issues Ft. Wayne has to offer. Although, i would myself buy alot more if they would knock 10%-15% off back issue prices or find a real grasp on the current market. When they buy them, Im certain theyre buying at least 50% off actual worth so they can afford to price break for thier customers. They arent paying guide prices so why should you have to? All too often you see retailers overgrading and overpricing books and using the grade book as an excuse. This retailer certainly has that problem. Books are worth what someone will pay for them. Not what the guide book tells you theyre worth. Guide book prices are estimates of value. Not exactly what the market will actually pay for them. I suspect theyve been sitting on a ton of key books because of unfair pricing. For example, a decent graded Silver age spiderman can typically be guide booked for $40 but realistically there is no demand for the book at all in the marketplace. You see it alot more with later bronze age books. Time adds to value but nobody really wants them so people wont pay a guides prices for them. A books demand plays into pricing. Theres no way a guide book can guage that. Its the responsibilty of the retailer to know the marketplace. Valuing books from a price guide shows little familiarity with the current market. Even key books are valued well over what someone will actually pay and thats exactly what guide prices are....Value....not actual prices. A used car can be valued at $20,000 but if there isnt a market for it then the price needs to drop to supplement for that. Same on the other end, if theres a huge demand for it the pricing can shoot well over its actual value. This recently benefited me and exposed the guide books flaw in valuing prices. They had a high grade book (i wont say what it is) value at around $20 probably due to the guide price but they failed to understand that particular book has risen substantially within the marketplace and demand is currently very high fot it...right now, the books marketplace value sits at around $200. I plan to sell it for around $150. Its a very simple business practice that nearly all retailers fail to understand because somewhere along the lines they figured the Overstreet guide was the comic book bible. No, those overstreet guide prices only benefit the retailer and they know that. Guide prices do not have a value for supply and demand. Its annoying that most retailers base guide values as the books market price. That tells me they do have have a good understanding of the current marketplace. So if youre looking for a great or even reasonable price on a back issue, get it online. There, the marketplace understands a books actual price. Guide valued prices are ripping off the customer and retailers are abusing it just to claim books for cheap and stack thier collections while using it as an excuse to not negotiate. Dont mind paying guide book values, then theyre plentiful. If you understand prices the way the current market does, youll see while flipping through thier lot that the prices are abusive.
Cool guys and good comics. Proud to call it my shop!
Good place for browsing. Friendly staff.
Great selection and atmosphere
Nice selection, helpful staff.
Horrible service. If you like paying 15-20 dollars more for a 1st edition game then you can get a 2nd edition then this place is for you.
Very clean and organized, professional friendly staff lots of fun
All my Magic The Gathering and comic book needs.
