I love this store! The gentleman there helped me find a lot of back issues. He also made sure I had the latest comic guide for the upcoming months. They have an amazing Wonder Woman statue that I would love to have π
Short review: Good place to get introduced to Magic the Gathering.Additional Short Review:The two employees working were very friendly and helpful.My Experience:My friend loves Magic (a card game) and I wanted to get him some cards for his birthday. I dont know much about the game, so I gave the two gentlemen working there a budget of $50 dollars, and asked them to help me find a good present. They observed that most players enjoy the rush of opening packs of random cards for the chance of gaining a rare (and usually valuable) foiled card. They then selected 10 card packs based on my budget, to optimize the chance of finding one of these rare cards.The whole thing took only a couple of minutes and I now I have 10 presents for my friend instead of one. :)I was pleased with my experience and will return if I need more nerd stuff.Thanks guys!
Very nice place for gaming. Recommend this place they are extremely nice and caring they also understand if things change. Amber and Zach are my two favorite people only reason I give then four out of five is because prices are a little high on some items. And that the restroom and place as a whole need a little work for cosmetic reason
The best comics and game shop. Im so lucky this is my store!
I used to go to ACE when I was a teenager, NN and Hampton, and always had fond memories. I stopped in to check it out because I planned to bring my son back on the weekend and I just wanted to make sure everything was cool. Well, after talking comics with Joel for a good 45 minutes I ended up getting about $350 worth of books and left really happy. On saturday I brought my son and daughter and my son was floored with the store and my daughter was running around as excited as she could be. My son got his limit of $50 of books, he wanted about $200, and he was in hog heaven. Joel saw my daughter (shes 7) liked a lot of things but didnt really know what she was looking at so he came over to her and talked to her a bit, and then said you want to see something really cool? He took her over and showed her some my little pony / transformers books and she was hyped. She has had her grandma read them to her at least 10 times now. I spent about $170 that day. All the prices match the price guides and a lot of prices are even better. Huge selection to choose from both old school and new books In the back they have a huge space with tables that I assume are used for War Hammer, D&D etc. This is a proper comic book shop and you should definitely check it out. Joel was responsible for roughly $520 in sales and a repeat customer who just got back into comics with grownup money to spend, hook that man up π
Great staff! Friendly and helpful, with a great selection on hand, and always willing to help.
Great comics shop! Board games too if youre interested in those.
Friendly associates, very nice atmosphere. Good place to visit when youre passing by.
Pretty small but it was clean and the staff was friendly. Still nice to take a look in.
The staff was extremely helpful and the store had a large variety of card sleeves! would highly recommend!
Great spot! I have been frequenting this location for well over 15 years now and I still look forward to going back every week. There and you will find a great selection of collectibles gaming and comic book related products as well as a very knowledgeable very friendly and very pleasant staff able and willing to help you with all of your questions and needs. This is my absolute favorite small business to support and I cannot recommend them any higher.
Nice selection of comics and a nice area for board games!
Alwys has the comics I need and excellent customer service team upfront. Positive vibes when I go there alwys
A veritable treasure trove of comics, memorabilia, and tabletop gaming paraphernalia! The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about their products.
Great comic book store. A really large selection of titles. Definitely has a helpful staff.
Itβs too bad I donβt live in the area anymore and donβt get to visit often. But employees are very personable and very informative. Also, a lot of variety
Went in to pick up a comic I had been waiting on for months. Of course they only had the special edition available for a higher price. Reluctantly made the purchase just for the employee to then spoil the ending before I ever got to open the book. I was so put off that I sold the book and lost interest in collecting the rest of the series. Wont return...
Not a big game collection and the Vallejo paint supply is getting thin, but the place is clean and has lots of comics and gaming space. Big bonus was the very enthusiastic and helpful guy at the counter.
Great store im a big godzilla fan and i got a comic there it was great this is a good place to buy a comic
Great Folks, great selection of cards, reasonable pricing.
The people in this shop are the coolest ever, and always ready to have a conversation about whatever youre in to. Cant wait until the Rona is over so they can start hosting more D&D games!
Great selection, great prices, and awesome employees. Family owned shop and the owner is very involved
Love these guys, good vibes all the way around from Hampton to Newport News. Thanks guys
Awesome staff. Very knowledgeable. Reasonable price.
Extremely knowledgeable staff, fun atmosphere!
Helpful staff and found all supplies needed box up my card collection. Staff was very informative when asked questions. I will return again.
Speaking from a Magic the Gathering point of view, they are great. They dont have some of the newest big ticket cards, but if theres an older card, theyre likely to have it. Very casual place to also get a game of commander going with very spacious seating, that is COVID compliant.
They dont always have the greatest selection on individual cards, but its certainly not bad. Customer service is always A+ and Ive had plenty of solid recommendations from them. Even though there are comic stores closer they are my go to.
Very friendly and helpful.
Friendly and helpful staff, large selection and store was bigger than I expected.
Owner and staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Their selection of comics was insane! Its not quite as big as their Hampton Roads location, but its still great!
Awesome place
I have been going here for years for Dungeons and Dragons miniatures and paints and they have the best selection of both along with books and yugio cards. This place is definitely worth checking out.
Great selection of comics and playing cards with a very helpful staff.
Atomic Comics has the best selection of comics in the Newport News area, along with a ton of games and cards with the space to play them. Ive always had great service and the staff definitely keep your interests in mind. Im always getting awesome suggestions on new comics and games and theyre always on the look out for products Im in the market for! Regulars are always welcomed and the community that frequents the store are just as kind. Youll fit right in and fall in love with a place I now consider my second home.
Always the best customer service. Great selection of comics, collectables and games. Love this place.
This family owned business is such a welcoming and fun place. Not only do they sell a lot of various types of entertainment, but they offer multiple game nights for beginners to experts. Everyone I have met there is friendly and helpful.
Great new location. Comfortable, lots of room for gaming. Wide selection of items/games/comics. Awesome staff!
First time going to the store and it was awesome. Great staff.
You guys should change the name of this to Sister Location like the fnaf series i think it would attract more people
Small store, but a respectable amount of comics. Big wall of board games and collectibles. RPG section is pretty small, only D&D and Pathfinder when I was there. D&D night was packed, but they shared the night with Pokemon. Friendly players, but the requisite B.O. gamer was somewhere near me. Depending on whos running the store, they may or may not be interested in answering questions.
They have a wide selection of dnd figures and unlike other places the figures are actually organized and neat
This place was very comfortable. The staff was inviting and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They house a lot of comics and have another location they said has even more. The place is a must for anyone that wants to get into comics or has been in for years and wants to browse. They also have a wall dedicated to board games and one for card games (magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc.). Overall amazing place!
A great place for comics. Friendly and knowledgeable
Love the store and the people that work there. They are super helpful and always willing to try to find what youre looking for.
Im in love with this comic shop. They always have great recommendations and I always find what Im looking for if I show up early enough!
The guys in the store are very friendly and knowledgeable, highly recommended for your collectable needs!!
Went in here looking for pokemon cards. The employees where friendly and knowledgeable in not just pokemon cards. They have magic cards and yugioh cards. They have a huge selection of comics to. Was worth the stop!
I come here often and the atmosphere is great the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. The selection of cards is pretty good and the freedom they give you top look through for commons and unions is nice as well.
The shop has just about everything you need and given the size of the space, makes use to fill their store. My one issue was that even though I informed them from the beginning I was new, they went into multiple conversations about cards and effects I knew nothing about. It would have been nice to start from a common place to see what I needed.
First time in the store today. Nice little hole in the wall comic store. The employee was very friendly and helpful. I will certainly be coming back.
I had a nice time here. They have a gigantic selection of board games and the prices werent higher than they should be. I guarantee theres a board game here youll love.
The person there was very helpful and the atmosphere was very calming
Excellent experience! My wife and I used to go here when in high school and the place is just as cool now! We were greeted as soon as we went in and the staff was extremely friendly and knowledgable. Im actually heading back in today to buy more cards! :)
First time yesterday when i went to the new place a lot of space love it
Joel is my new favorite superhero. homeboy searched the bins with me and helped find every comic i was looking for. everyone there was extremely helpful. cant wait to go back.
Dont let the small size of this business fool you, there is a huge selection of comics, board games, and Magic the Gathering cards at that location. The owner is well connected and informed and can usually get anything you want in the rare case that he doesnt have it.
Very good selection and nice staff. Gets kinda crowded with larger events though. But all around a could store and my regular stop.
The store itself is OK. They have good inventory. I purchased a booster box and 4 packs of sleeves totaling over $140 and when I asked how much basic lands cost he tried to charge me .10 cents per land... Theres no place where basic lands cost .10 cents per land.
This store was great and the employees are very knowledgeable and extremely nice.
Atomic Comics Emporium II has a great selection of both comics and games. Do you like Magic th Gathering? They got it. PokΓ©mon? Got that too. They even have Yu-Gi-Oh cards! Not only that but their Game Club membership is cheap and lasts a whole year ($20/yr). You get 10% off of most things in the shop and gain access to the gaming groups that meet up there! DnD, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. I highly recommend checking this place out.
Decent place for MTG and other card games. Board game selection is alright, but youre not going to find any deals here. The store itself can feel very small, especially if there is a tournament going on.
Was visting in area used to live over the bridge. Great customer service
Small, but inviting. Very good selection
Awesome comic shop. Great vibe. Very friendly staff.
I love this place i just hope they stock Webwitch comics in the future... great store awesome hours... they need to sell Posters regular Poster size posters
Have been looking for a shop like this for a while! Experienced and friendly staff and MtG players, both casual and competitive. Spent many fun hours here playing Magic and making friends.
Want particular comics? Ask for a free box and theyll be there when they hit the stands! Just browsing? Great selection!
Singles are organized pretty well. Really friendly staff. Great patronage. The MtG singles inventory can feel a bit sparse (especially recent sets) and they dont keep a singles database even for high ticket cards. Im not a customer of their comic/board game products, but Ive heard only good things. Theyve also got plenty of active DnD and gaming groups of all varieties. Turnouts for midnight pre-releases are also always good. My favorite public place to hang out and play MTG/boardgames.
Extremely large selection of comics and cards. They are very welcoming and its always fun to stop by.
Its like stepping in a time machine to a comic book store in the 90s. With a friendly and helpful staff and a huge selection of fairly priced books, you cant go wrong here.
One of the absolute best Comic book and D&D stores on the Peninsula
The proprietor was very informative, and knowledgeable of the products. Excellent
LOOK at that selection of board games. They have everything you can think of. I was very impressed by all of their inventory and the owner was very helpful.
Great people great environment very friendly
Been coming here for years, the owner and staff are super helpful and friendly and the selection is awesome :) true of both locations although I almost always go to the denbeigh store
Good customer service and has a lot of room
Well organized store, friendly and knowledgeable staff, stocks comics both new and vintage.
Plenty of comics and board games! The one in Hampton has a better selection of the dnd/miniature stuff if thats what youre looking for.
Nice place.
Great staff! Lots of comics and graphic novels! Great place for the nerd in all of us!
Cool little store with board games, comics, and tournaments. Helpful guys at the counter.
Nice open place lots of goodies looking to be found.
Awesome staff and owner. Super helpful.
Crammed so full of merchandise its hard to move through the store. Last time I went, I had questions about the game event of that evening, and the front counter employee seemed to be completely clueless.
Helpful
Comfortable most of the time but can get cramped. Still love the selection of cards and commander nights are pretty fun.
I love this store. Always great.
ACE has been my favorite comic store for over 20 years.
The owner is very nice and the prices stay reasonable.
Exactly what youd expect with super friendly people.
A great place for comics and role playing games
Great store, great selection and great service
Great store and helpful staff
Its kinda small but still nice!
Awesome place for back issues
