Showcase Comics and Games

I enjoyed this Barnes and Noble. There were actually seats to sit in and relax. I think there should be more downstairs. But overall I loved the environment.

My family is absolutely obsessed with this Showcase Comics location. We all read different types of comics- I lean towards graphic memoir, my partner reads DC, and my child is into anything with zombies. They have an enormous collection- and where I usually find a measly selection of graphic fiction, this location has the largest I’ve ever laid eyes on. I love that they had paper labels showing the nominees for the Eisner awards! Such a cool touch. The staff is super helpful, and helped me find zombie related books that were appropriate for my child’s age. We absolutely devour comics, and every week when we come back we find something new!

When I went into this shop I was expecting comics and games. But what I got instead was comics, and more comics also featuring games. This is very much more a comic shop than it is a game shop. If you have to look at the distribution, I'd say it's a good 50% comics 20% graphics novels and books about comics including collections. And the remaining 30% is split up between table top board games and such with the last 5% being RPG stuff in the back and I mean the far back. There is however an excellent kid section up front and some game tables in the back. I did not see a table schedule posted anywhere except on their website. Parking is three spaces in the back or nearby on the street or in metered lots. In the roughly 10 minutes I spent wandering around I was not approached by anyone which is a good or bad thing depending on your preference. And no mention was made of spending club organizations or any other such attempt to sign me up for anything.
