Its open late. most comic shops close too early and your kinda have to plan ahead to look or buy comics unless its your day off. Great shop. Very organized with a great selection. Honestly one of the best looking shops Ive seen.

Awesome selection of board games, indie comics and HUGE Magic the Gathering and DnD swag!

Listen, game stores like this are a labor of love. This store shows the love. We are here for a day and were able to find the draft pre release event that he wanted to attend here! Great vibe and nice people for sure.

Even though i was pretty awkward the staff were very helpful and friendly and the store is larger than it seems from the outside. if youre looking for manga, the selection is small but good. they have a nice dark horse and independent comic selection as well. really cool store!!

Tis a simple store layout with a emphasis on Manga and comics. But it does have something for everyone. I enjoyed looking through the table top and board game selection. While I wish I had found more diversity there in product I am very happy I had a chance to see this store and will likely be back around to check it out again when on that side of the mountains.

I came here to buy some D&D figurines for my friend. While I was in the store it was very quiet and calm. Feels like a good place to relax and read comics!

Cute little comic/table top game shop. It was clean and the man running it was friendly. The manga selection was a little sparse, unfortunately. They had some local comics that were interesting to look at. Their comic selection was really good!

Very good if you like comics this is the place to be very friendly and informative staff

I know that flgs dont usually keep a lot of expansions on the shelves. But they should know that it means I wont shop there again. Why bother? I buy complete games. If I have to go to Amazon for the rest of the game, Ill just get it all there. A very standard experience with all the standard offerings, core sets and base games only, and a very limited selection.

Well lit, clean, open, and safe place to hang out and play your favorite card and board games. They have a solid selection of demo games to try, comics to peruse, minis and accessories to browse. Many of the regulars were friendly and welcoming to new players. They host magic the gathering and other game events a few times a week

I come here for commander night on wednesdays, and I gotta say its one of my favorite game stores

Great selection of games and books, including LGBTQ books. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thanks from your SF customers.

Came here to play magic and have felt safer around covid than any other card shop thanks to the careful attention of the owner.

We were here in June 5, 2021. Doug was really patient and nice to help us getting Mysterium for our gaming night. It was so much fun! We had a great night until after midnight! Thank you Doug and thank you Phoenix!

We are from out of town and love browsing local game stores when we get the chance. Phoenix was very nice & clean, with knowledgeable staff. All the DnD core books you could ever want and other WotC products, comics divided by publisher, and some unique board games not found in big box stores. Some MTG available, but not ideal if you are looking for Anything specific.

Staff is courteous and helpful.Recommend you go here first

Wonderfully inclusive, amazing comics and games shop. I love it here.

Cozy with a good selection of games and comics, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and ran a Magic event pretty efficiently.

Good game store with friendly staffs and tons of magic events meetup

Wonderful shop that takes safety seriously. Loved the selection of comics and the DnD arcade machine.

One of, if not THE best place to buy comics in Seattle. Really happy their IMAGE section is more than just The Walking Dead like so many other shops.

This place is fantastic. Convenient, clean, and the staff really goes above and beyond for customers. Just went here for the first time recently and now Ill not go anywhere else - Thanks a ton, Nick especially!

Enjoyed my first ever pre-release here. Thanks so much.

Best independent game store in Seattle. Great prices, well stocked, and the owner and employers are all super cool.

Great place for gamers. Cool staff

Its good to see a fresh sales layout with an even tempo and warm shopping environment. We need more small store in a mega corporate world of the strong eat the weak.

Every time I come here I feel welcomed and happy. My favorite comic shop. :)

One of the nicest comic shops around. The shelves (both single issues and collections) are filled with a large variety of comics from multiple publishers—not just the big two. I especially appreciated the specialty shelves for LGBTQ+ comic creators and spotlighting local creators.Their game selection is great, and their staff was super friendly and helpful on the phone and in person to make sure I got the game I was looking for.I didn’t get a chance to sit and play, but their gaming area looked super inviting and a group of people playing in the store were kind enough to let me watch their game for a moment as I browsed around the store.I highly recommend this place!

Best comic shop in Seattle? Id need to visit them all to be sure but this place is setting the bar very high.

Great small comic shop with an active Magic tournament when I visited, all the newest titles and collections, plus a good selection of independent and local titles. Great layout and organization, which is rare for comic shops. Little to no back issues or vintage books.

Great staff. Great selection of comics and games. If you love comics and geekdom, this is a perfect local merchant to support. Huge selection of comics written by members of the LGBTQIA+, Black, POC, and marginalized communities. In the before times they had comic book clubs, MtG nights, and they still do some stuff on Zoom. Follow them on FB for more info.

Love Phoenix, got a friend into buffy comics there

Not much of an opinion per say but if you normally buy cards but dont now and dont have any info posted anywhere regarding this info, you should so that doesnt screw ppls plans up

I discovered this shop going to Seattle central collage and was extremely surprised by what I found. This shop has all new comics that come in weekly, an X-Men arcade machine in the back, omnibuses and trade paper backs, manga and even local comics! They also sell magic the gathering and other card games along with minatures. They even host tourments for magic the gathering. This comic shop is a must visit if you need that fix and your on capital hill. I highly recommend them. Staff is extremly helpful,friendly and knowdgble of comic, manga or anything else in the store.

Recently remodeled game shop. Lots of comics and games with a play space that I am excited to play at once it is safe again (f**k covid)

Great local shop. Good selection, and really helpful staff.

Small, but they have a card game room in the back, and a selection of indie board games and collectibles as well. Very well-kept place. About 5-7 boxes of assorted Clearance books in the front. Really nice owner. Gives great recommendations.Also they just expanded!

With an amazing, curated selection, lovely staff, and near-daily activities, this is one of the best game/comic shops Ive ever been to.

Great place to get your favorite hobbies. Love it. Great service and help. Online purchases easy and secure. Im a regular customer and best pace in town.

Went in while exploring and was delighted with the politeness of the person working, the excellent comic and manga selection, and impressed when hearing about the online MTG prerelease strategy that theyve adopted

Suiport your FLGS when youre able to! This shop is fantastic. Tons of good comics and pretty decent selection of the hot new board games. Theyll also do special orders for you too! Stop in and check them out.

Great place. Had a chance to come in, play games and hang out. Very nice place. Would 100% recommend. Friendly staff. Nice, clean. All around awesome.

Great spot for games, graphic novels, comics, and friendly staff.

Extremely helpful and friendly

Incredible selection and incredible staff! A great community space.

Great big store. Plenty of play space. Well stocked and great staff. Well attended events. Not the cheapest prices in town, But the service and atmosphere help to make that up.

Excellent shop even before the expansion, and it is even better now. Im very happy to have them in my neighborhood, and drop to support them regularly. They can now handle tap to pay.

Best comic shop ever! If they dont have it, they will see if they can order it for you. Guys that work in this store go above and beyond to provide great service. They also sell table top games. I really like stopping by and see whats new. Nick (the owner) supports local game designers and independent publishers, you can find some very unique interesting pieces in this store. Highly recommend if you like comics, want to see if you like them or just looking for a new table top game for next time your friends are coming over. And have I mentioned their impressive selection of Magic cards?

I love this store. Super-friendly and knowledgeable staff. The prices are reasonable, and the space is great for playing magic or trying out any of their many demo games.I spoke with the owner, Nick, today. He was extremely thorough in his explanation of how a game I was interested in played.I have brought my teenage sons before and they played magic and found comics to buy.

Could use more collectibles and less comics lol

Great place to find board games and have fun playing with people. Staff are friendly!

I love this store so much!!! You should always support your local game store, and this one is especially good. Definitely 5/5 (God I feel like a dad)

A great selection of comic books, various graphic novels and items for gaming. The layout of the store works well, with the new comics right at the front and easy to access and view. Staff is always helpful and pleasant.

Being new to MTG it was welcoming to find out how patient both the shop owner and workers were. They were eager to share knowledge and never rush folks. Other customers are nice and fun to play with. The shop has fair prices and a nice collection of cards, comics and games for sale.

Great little gaming/comic shop. Plenty of comics, graphic novels, cards, games, and even figurines. Nightly gaming gatherings at the tables in the back. Staff were super helpful and knowledgeable both times we went in. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff.

Great space to meet up and play with a group of friends. Very helpful and friendly staff! Plan to go here often!

Great shop, owner is very friendly, they make great recommendations for comics across all genres. Very knowledgeable and great MTG events!

Free tables to game at. Large selection of top games, staff that is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I love gaming there and its my first choice if I need anything from my FLGS.

Fantastic selection and among the most personable staff Ive encountered. Love going to tabletop game day each year. Buy a lot of gifts for friends and family here, since they have a nice variety of games at all price levels.

Have been there only once on a Sunday afternoon. There was just one more table playing apart from us. Loads of options available. Well maintained boards.

Welcoming environment in a newly expanded space. The staff is friendly and helpful. The store always looks tidy and hip.

Best comic and game shop in the city. Very welcoming very queer friendly. Excellent collection of comic standards like Marvel and DC as well as Image and Dark Horse. Also plenty of independent comics and even a local comic book section! The board games are well priced and there is space to play. Theres something interesting happening every day in the store from magic tournaments to TTRPGs. Excellent location right near the light rail. Lots of restaurants nearby and basically just across the street from Cal Anderson park.

Nice guys

Locally-owned independent comic and game shop? Check. Knowledgeable staff? Check. Huge selection? ... Sorta Check.They havent been here long enough and they dont have enough space to have a gigantic selection, but its still pretty good for a Friendly Neighborhood Comicshop. I get my weeklies here.

Nice staff and the ability to come and play board games for free is great. We even ended up buying one of the demo games because we had so much fun.

Selection could be a little better. Cant wait for game nights to safely return.

This is a great location for Magic events! The staff is very helpful and most people Ive met have been friendly. The place is almost always blasting the air conditioning, so you might want to think about bringing a sweater if youre starting a while. Dont expect much in terms of snacks and drinks, but theres some. They do have a great board game selection as well!

I always have a blast playing Magic here. The staff is friendly, and will do their best to help new or inexperienced players learn the game. I have found many lucky finds in their singles case. Plus with the selection of comics on the local indy comic shelf there is some real treasures to be found once youve caught up on the mainstream.

Love the owner and staff. Love playing MTG here and buying my cards and comics.

Awesome place to play boardgames with friends. Good selection of current comics, too.

This place has comics and games! And if you dont see what you want/need the employees here are very helpful in trying to get it for you or giving you suggestions on other places to look! They have weekly gaming nights for gamers. Great customer service, Hi Jason!

Great store. The owner was helpful & they have a great size drafting group for Magic the Gathering.

Very helpful staff. Nice area to try out board games. Two things Amazon doesnt offer.

Always a fun time, free tables, a friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean and happy place to play, and in well lit and big table FLGS.

Great selection, great staff. Thanks for hosting Free Comic Book Day!

I love this place! Everyone is so friendly and will offer great suggestions if you need help looking for a grpahic novel. I had asked for post-apocalyptic suggestions and got quite a few good ones like East of West, etc.My go-to place now for graphic novels. And its a nice local business!

Wow! I wasnt expecting much after passing it by all the time but I finally went in. Clean wall of comics, shelves of trades set up by publisher, board games and plenty of tables in the back. Maybe there is a list of events somewhere but there was a large magic tournament going on and the place did not smell good. Only thing that would make this place better would be a bar! Ill be back

Super nice staff, good selection of games, and a nice area in the back for playing games with friends :) They also have a collection of games back there that are free to play, so you can try before you buy!

Helpful staff that will do their damndest to answer any comic/gaming related question you have. Are very beginner friendly for anything from comics to board gaming, and LGBT+ friendly. Also (and this is a big comic book plus) dont overcharge for certain variant covers!

Super friendly staff with a nice collection of popular and independent local comics. Youll always find something new and cool to read. Lots of other things to geek about too, from MTG to D&D.

Phoenix games is an amazing game and general nerd store on Capitol hill. Their staff is friendly and knowledgable, and they always have events going on - game nights, book signings, new product launches, etc. I love that theyre locally owned (the owner works in the store), that they truly love what they do, and that they provide a space for people to gather and share that passion.Highly recommended!

I love this shop. Its owners are fantastic people and have hoated some fantastic events. There is a kind and generous community here. Visit, buy things, show support for this community.

Great comic book shop with a wide selection. They just renovated into a larger space and its got regular events if youre into MTG.

No one wanted to play standard. Cool place to draft. New faces.

Great comic book (and game) store. I really appreciate to have a comic shop on the hill. I also love that I never felt the least bit ogled, uncomfortable, or treated like a strange unicorn there (as I have at other comic book stores). Friendly cashiers as well.

The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was laid back and inviting.

I was a good customer, thier inployee was very rude to me, when i tried to defend myselfe they kicked me out. Whatever excuse they used i was treated wrong and discriminated against. JAMES, W,S

The store had a lot of selection in my opinion: it had a good selection of trades and single issues of Image, DC, Marvel. It even had Boom! Comics. It is a nice environment, immaculate, and organized. It has Magic TCG and minis as well.Where I found fault with Phoenix was the customer service. I went twice on different days to see if it was just a shift of people, but no. The staff didnt give any acknowledgement I was there or ask if I had any questions or needed help. I found some things I wanted to buy, but I felt like it didnt matter either way. It went so far as one staff reaching in front of me to put in new books but didnt say anything to me.All in all, if you want a place that may be more convenient for you with a good selection go here. If you like talking to people or having a good customer service experience, I would go somewhere else.

Ive been happy with my experiences at Phoenix as a game store (Im not a big comics guy). Its owner and staff are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The store is clean, well-lit, and welcoming. Its a small shop, and the game section is only a few shelves, but those shelves have a good breath and selection, from the very approachable to Euro games for hobbyists, plus some Magic and roleplaying products. There are a few large tables for free play and organized events. It cant really compare with the selection and depth of an older, larger game store like Blue Highway or Card Kingdom, but I feel lucky to have it in my neighborhood.

Seattle is lucky to have a surplus of good gaming stores, so its great when one of them manages to stand out. Phoenix has managed one of the most consistently welcoming environments for any gaming store I know - and thats impressive, since the competitions stiff. I especially recommend Phoenix if other comic or game stores have felt unwelcoming because of your gender or sexuality - youll find a different experience here.Ive also had some great recommendations for comics and games from the folks behind the counter, and theyve remembered books I wanted even when they took an extra few months to come out. Im happy enough with them to trek out of my way from Greenwood to do my comic shopping there.

Phoenix is an awesome store that has an inclusive and friendly atmosphere!I come to Phoenix to play Magic the Gathering. As a woman, I feel safe and respected in the store. Nick (the store owner) is a feminist and a great presence at Phoenix. He makes the store a great space for women and LGBTQIA+ folks!

Great for hosting a game night and other community game sessions. Awesome variety of comics indie and big label alike. Plus plenty of other fun geeky merch, DnD dice, spell cards and figures.

I 💞 Phoenix! Tons of play space, great selection of board games/comics/tcg stuff! Staff is wonderfully helpful and the people at magic events Ive gone to were always wonderful.

Very welcoming of everyone. Clean and brightly lit. Snacks / drinks available. Nice selection of comics and games for purchase. Good selection of demo games to try.

Great scene for casual and competitive magic the gathering. Tuesday modern is really solid.

Its alright, layed back atmosphere. A back area to play magic or whatever. But as a comic store? Not so great.

Great selection of modern comics with a fair amount of board games as well. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Seemed like a nice place. And informed staff.

I played Magic the Gathering here... couldnt tell you much about their comic book selection. Seems like a friendly guy behind the counter, relatively small store, good crowd there for Magic.The draft was 16 dollars, which is about 4 dollars higher than I remember. That could just be a byproduct of my getting older though.
