They have expanded. They now have a whole room devoted to gaming tables. The staff was very helpful, Dave, in particular. They even have Open Gaming on Thursday from 6-10 p.m. My only other comment is I wish they had a larger selection of wargames.
Overall a good experience. Clean store tons of inventory from kids games to tcg and even some retro gaming stuff. The added % charge for using a card is annoying. That's a cost of doing business and shouldn't be passed onto the customer. But it is clearly stated so it isn't a surprise. Staff was pleasant and efficient.
Made a day trip to Sarasota, and this was one of the highlights and standouts! GREAT selection of manga books and a couple anime statues at really great prices. They also had some awesome priced merch-- I got a Vegeta DBZ wallet for $10, …
Really good inventory of board games comics and TCGs. Staff has always been really friendly. Great torunament area, for sure a premiere store for tabletop hobbiest.
Really big store with tons of comics, nerdy needs and board games. Fun flavours of drinks and only slightly fragrant
Was in the area and wanted to check out some local gamestore. Stopped by store has large variety of stuff but the main thing that got to me was that went I wanted to buy something from the counter no employees acknowledge me as I was …
I Go to this shop a lot for single Pokemon cards but this was my first time buying a booster bundle. I didn’t get a single hit. I wasn’t going to say anything but I saw another review with a very similar story so it is kind of sus. We also …
Truly a gem of a game store! Impressive space with lots of comics, books, paint for tabletop, board games - a bit limited on collectibles, but frankly there’s too much of that. Highly recommended!
Fun store with a wide selection of comics, ranging from low to high end, and plenty of gaming options. I was looking for collectibles, had some, but not as many as I expected. I didn't find what I was looking for, but overall, it's a good store. 4.5 out of 5 for me.
Pics don’t do this place justice. It HUGE. The selection of graphic novels, is amazing, with plenty of variety of formats. TPB’s, Hardcovers, Omnibus, they have it all. …
AWESOME atmosphere and selection of ALL things fun! Comics, manga, table top games, used video games, miniature supplies, giant dice towers and so much merch! It’s a MUST stop when visiting Sarasota for families
Scalper prices they got phantasmal flames and sold for $9 a pack on release! Busted all the booster boxes open so the could make more money off the community don’t support!!
Not really into gaming but my son is a fanatic. Amazing selection of cards, books, board games and figurines. Gaming tables in the rear where you can test your skills.
Cool shop that has a wide variety of collectibles! A place for table top gaming, comics, toys, video games and much more! Great place to hang out with friends and browse!
Love going to Dark Side. Friendly staff and huge selection of games and comics. Big fan of the grab bag mystery pack comics as it has gotten me into new series I would have never checked out before.
The best and only shop in Sarasota and Manatee county that doesn't scalp or try and take advantage,I remember when they were on 301 the absolute best 👍👍 …
The best place to nerd out, play DND, mtg, and pokemon, there's also a great selection of anime and merch to choose from! The staff members are also very friendly.
I left a pre-order with them for the newest mtg set and verified with them multiple times I would get the product, come to find out when I go to to pick it up they tell me they don't have the entire order they don't know what happened to …
We always visit when we're in town - we're big tabletop gamers and they always have a fun selection from kid friendly games to Warhammer.
Very unorganized when it comes to TCG tournaments and don’t know very much info about them …..we called in advance and they said one thing and do another when we got there.
bought 20 packs of pokémon cards did not get a single holo or better extremely suspicious i have a strong feeling they weigh their packs scammers!
My son plays in One Piece games there every Sunday. The guys are great to him.
Great place. Lots of inventory lots of selection even more now they've just renovated. Large gameplay area . Very nice guys I highly recommend them I don't think there's another comic bookstore out here like this and I'm not even in the …
Huge selection of books, games, and toys. Staff is helpful and welcoming. Large sections with discount comics as well. Spent hours looking through everything
The fact that these guys sell Pokémon products at retail price and not market price. It’s just unheard of and amazing. Shows that they really care about the collector community and are not just money hungry. Definitely will support this business again.
This place was different than most. The guy working answered all my questions and helped me find what I needed. He even put me on a waiting list for something he didnt have in stock. Yes going back!!
Love what the shop has to sell and the vibe of the place. Most of the the employees are wonderful.. except this one women who had an awful attitude and was rude for no reason. She made it seem like it was an inconvenience to help me. She …
Great comic book store with an awesome D&D playing area. There's plenty of anime and comic book merch, figurines with a full selection of paints, video games, both new and retro, and a kids section for your readers. I started taking my …
HORRIBLE customer service asked for a spider man card 5 times and got ignored very bad never coming back
Great store, friendly people, and an all-around good atmosphere. Will definitely be back.
Everyone was very friendly and made it easy to find what I was looking for!
A fantastic store for all things nerdy, including comics, board games, manga, collectibles, role-playing games, tabletop war games, and collectible card games. They recently purchased the section next door, and now there is a space just for …
One of the best comic and game shops on the Gulf Coast. Worth going out of your way: tons of comics, table top games, video games and other media, merch and books. They have something for all ages plus a huge gaming / tournament space.
Lots of selection and decent customer service. Used games/rpg books priced a bit high.
Absolutely wonderful location. Attended the Ursula Set Championship and staffing was very welcoming specially Marc Was very helpful with getting me acclimated with the store. …
The place is amazing and it's huge. They have a lot of trained people. They have everything. They take good care of you
If you are here for gunpla model kit, the best advice is to stay away this store and buy it from Amazon. The price they give for hg Hi-nu is 54.99 dollar while you can get it for 26,27 online. Honestly , if you are selling gunpla kit, do …
Peak, went in looking for Booster Gold Comics. Let’s just say I left very satisfied with a big bag :)
Bought 12 packs of pokemon cards and not 1 single hit. Very sus in my opinion.
This place is a gem in Sarasota. The employees are nice and welcoming. Highly recommend
It was our first time playing D&D. The team at The Dark Side were able to schedule a Dungeon Master for us. This was so helpful to for our understanding of the rules while not getting caught up in making sure we're playing correctly. The …
They have a very impressive selection of games and comic books.
If you want a good supply and cool cards for Pokemon do not come here. There were barely any cards and no packs of them. They had a computer system that they did not explain. If you want comics, that is fine, but don’t go for Pokémon cards.
Wonderful staff. Very helpful and happy to explain things to you. The store is very well maintained and stocked. It's the Barnes and Nobles of trading cards!!!!
Typically friendly staff happy to help with any questions or inquiries about the products of the store.
They have a computer system to look up what trading cards they have for sale. Makes it so easy vs shuffling through boxes of cards.
Nice spacious store with tons to choose from. Comics cards board games merch. So far it's one of the best stores in the area that we’ve come across. There’s a few guys who try to kinda lowball you on trade ins, but Rick and Glen have always made sure to be fair in prices and value.
This place is awesome. The staff is so friendly and knowledgable, very willing to help you out, especially if you're just getting started with something like I am with MTG! The bathroom was also stocked with feminine hygiene products and I …
Good price and an unimaginable world of comics... ahhh I loved the place and wanted to stay there forever.
Very mixed feelings about this store. Good board game selection but all at msrp price. There’s a section where you can buy used board games from other people but they are over priced too. Probably the worst Pokémon singles buying experience …
Love the Dark Side. Many games and there’s always something going on. Have been a customer for years.
Went to purchase a couple of vintage videogames. I waited in line to get an employee to open the cabinet. Once at the cabinet, the employee dropped the game on the ground (luckily it didn't seem to chip or break). …
I came in from Lake County and this place is amazing! They are fair, professional and fun. I want to thank Benz, Thomas and Emma for their great customer service and helping me get everything I needed. You guys rule.
Excellent tabletop gaming store, especially for Warhammer 40K. They carry numerous hobby paints from Citadel, Two Thin Coats, and The Army Painter which includes their Fanatic and Speed Paint 2.0 line! You can also play tabletop games there and they also have quite the selection of board games for purchase as well.
If your looking for anything in the realm of comics, games, models, posters, collectibles, or their respective genres you'll find it here! If you're interested in donating people to play table top or card games with, this is also your …
Very nice and plenty of variety, seems like there's something for every hobbyist here to enjoy
After reading the reviews here we headed through to the store hoping to find some Pokémon singles we had been searching for to complete our Base Set collection. …
Great store for collectibles of most sorts! Cards, comics, video games, gaming minis (and their paints), and ever accessory for the above hobbies in a wide selection. Most importantly is the friendly and knowledgeable staff that keep the place clean and orderly. Cannot ask for more from a local game store!
First time going it’s a great alternative to GameStop. Our go to retro game store was e-trade post but they sadly closed down and went virtual. So when I found this amazing gem that was relatively close to home instead of 3 hrs away I had …
Great comic/game store! They have a ton of back issues to dig through with great prices and tons of games whether you like board, card, mini, RP, or video!
If you are in the area come by and check them out and even if you aren't they are worth the drive!
It is a great comics and games store with regular tournaments for magic, warhammer, and other popular games. If you're looking for a place to enjoy your hobbies, this is one of the best locations. Staff is also very friendly, helpful, and …
This place is awesome. They always have a large selection of cards. In addition to that they carry snacks and drinks in the front which is greatly appreciated. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Their rewards system is also fantastic. This place gets a W.
A gem for collectors! The Funko store offers a vast selection of figures, rare finds, and exclusive items. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making each visit a delight. Highly recommend! Thank you guys
I dont get to come as frequenlty as I'd like, I live an hour away. The staff is always friendly, and they always have events or tournaments going on. Todays "free comicbook day" was even more awesome than we expected!
Big store with a lot of comics, board games and a big playing area. We came in for some Pokémon singles, and stood for a while at the glass display cases to have a look, waiting for one of the two staff members sitting behind the case to …
Awesome selection. Would definitely return. Too many of these types of stores only sell one type of thing, like cards or comics only. This one has a bunch of variety and something for everyone. Highly worth a visit.
this place is perfect for an introvert like me! lots of places for me to kind of hide away from strangers while i browse comics, figures, and such. they have a large comic collection and i always end up leaving with things i like.
It's a great store with friendly and helpful employees. If you have a question or are looking for something, they'll help you find it. If you're looking for a family-friendly environment, this place is it. Looking for video games, board …
Cool place, friendly staff. Best prices on Pokemon cards at launch!
Fantastic game store. I mainly go there for miniature games and board games. Awesome staff, massive selection, a big space to actively play games. Love this store.
Store is awesome, lots of product. Huge event area for gaming! The problem was, I drove 1.5 hours to get there to play a tournament and got there 30 minutes early. They then came by after most people showed up when the tournament was …
Really great comic store, have a huge selection of not just comics but tabletop gaming, video games, board games, card games—everything a geek/nerd could want. Didn't buy anything today (not for lack of options!), but staff seemed …
Great place to meet other nerds/geeks. They have weekly events for all sorts of hobbies. This is my go-to place to get my tabletop games as they have the most selection of games. No other place locally comes close to selling this much …
Saw that someone had a bad experience with the blue haired card guy. Definitely weird to see someone put down a fantastic employee on an off day. That guy is the sole reason I ever learned to play Magic. …
LOVED the layout of this store, but selection was lacking (all 3 of the pretty mainstream board games I was looking for weren't in stock). No return policy was also a negative, but overall nice experience.
Nothing bad to say about this place. Pretty good, pretty nice.
I've been here a few times and plan on going there soon. Great service when asking for help and info about products. They have a great selection of games. More than I thought. Got several wii games all in great condition. They buy games at a good price too.
Always a good time when I go in and check out the shelves. They have a large selection of comics and figures. The store is family friendly and the staff is very knowledgeable.
I love playing Pokémon there and mark is really fun and cool
Staff was very helpful and had a great selection of comics, graphic novels, dice, miniatures and other geeky items. I loved the atmosphere of the place as wwll
Great selection (most of the time). Sometimes they're low or out of stock of items that I can find at other shops but whatever. The reason for 4 stars is because there are a couple of staff members that just don't seem happy to be there. …
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, love the variety of items they carry, but bummed the DND figure I wanted was sold out. Will definitely be back.
I always support my local game store and am ready to pay a little markup to be able to but when it’s near double in price for some things it can be difficult. The staff are always polite and helpful and the tables are great to set up any …
Great selection of coins, manga, and games. The new gaming room is PERFECT!!
Seems more of a gaming store. I did peruse the comic book and I bought a couple. The wall comic selection is nice. Not a very inviting store.
We only get down to Florida once a year, but this is a stop we make every time. What a difference a few years have made in this store. I couldn't be more impressed with the changes and improvements they've made. The vintage video game selection was particularly impressive, and fairly priced as well. Keep up the great work!
This is one of the most community driven businesses I have ever been to. I appreciate their diversity in appeal, from pokemon and anime to old school comic books to table top games. My friends and I all enjoy the rare sodas they carry
I love the whole place and definitely will be back.
Hidden gem! I love coming to this store. I just copped this Togepi plush with today and I love it <3
Amazing selection and wonderful staff. Only bolstered by holding events daily or almost daily with a rewards program. If they don't have they can help you find it. (With in reason of course lol) Young, old, new to or a long time fan of anything comic, anime, and tabletop this is the place to go.
So here’s the business model… they buy cards or any item for 50 percent below market value, then sell for slightly above. Do yourself a favor and be patient when selling cards or collectibles on TCGplayer or eBay you will get your full …
It's what you expected from an expanded comic book store for the gaming community.
I haven't been here in a while but I'm elsewhere round the plaza often enough. They're good people who will hold stuff or order specifics if you ask em. Chill vibes. Card and RPG crowd might be a little intense and or rowdy for some but I …
Wonderful place where you can not only buy comics and games, but meet other people in the community with the same interests. They host lots of social events like Magic The Gathering, board games meetups, and D&D. The store is pretty big, you can find a lot of tabletop related goods.
They had plenty of options and the atmosphere is very nostalgic. It was like walking into a blockbuster as a kid. They have game nights on tuesdays too which i might start attending! My only downside to the place was that i was in there for …
This is the most epic of all comic stores I’ve ever visited! Lots of merchandise, ranging from comics to board games to D&D and figures… maps, 3D maps. But they also value their customers and have a dedicated spot for you to game with others right in the store. Excellent place I highly recommend you visit!
My daughter is big into anime and wanted to check out the store. Wow! Great store, staff was amazing! Clerk had a very long, detailed conversation about what books my daughter was into so that she could help her find a new series. Took …
As far as cards and comic stores go, Dark Side is just fine. Now, if we're talking more specialty games like Warhammer 40k, this is a great spot. They always have decent stock, as best as you can get in the area. If you're a Warhammer 40k …
I love coming here. I have purchased several Wizards of the Coast books from here, all at great prices. Talking to the owner/operators is always fun and we can swap some great stories. …
Best comic and gaming shop in the whole area
Nice store, I always love the variety they have for games! Just wish they would’ve kept selling Marvel Champions.
If you’re looking to buy graded comics or back issues worth more than a couple of dollars, look elsewhere. Their graded comics are overpriced by about 50-100% and it makes ZERO financial sense to purchase them here. …
Employees are very friendly and knowledgeable of comics and games. The atmosphere is fun. They carry a large selection of both comics and games and an area dedicated to gaming.
This place used to be great, I unfortunately cannot say the same anymore. Absolutely egregious anti-consumer practices. Overpriced events with little to no prize support and a severely dwindling inventory. Owners and management take …
Very cool Huge comic shop! With toys and video games(I suggest not buying games from here, they are very overpriced) Great comic selection and some cool toys(nothing vintage) Great area for gaming and good selection of Pokemon and magic cards! Will return if ever in town!
My son plays yugioh card game hear Saturdays, just loves it. If you like different types of games call and see what's available.
Great guys laid back great selection still wont replace the olace i go to for mtg cause I like the people over at Mez's but will def come here for warhammer. The warhammer store here while having a really kind chill manager just isnt reliable with their hours. Plus these guys have more than just GW products.
This place is awesome! Was a recommendation from another board gamer who previously vacationed in the sarasota area. Was not disappointed. Had a great wide mix of new games and old releases. For example, picked up a new clank expansion that …
Had a great first experience on Monday. Came into the shop looking for a fun family game for our vacation and was not disappointed. My wife liked the look of Marvel Legendary: Villains and DC's Deck Building Game, but which to choose? …
Classic local game store. Great selection of comics and card games but also board games and miniatures. Even some retro video game selections. Everyone that works there plays the games so they're cool and fun to talk to and can fill in on tourneys.
I’ve brought my family here twice and each time they’ve been super helpful and friendly. After our last visit they went above and beyond by letting us in early while they had a tournament going. They are very customer driven. 10/10 would recommend.
Great comic shop, I've been going here since they were located on 301. Great place to meet new people, try out new boardgames, or pick up a new comic. Staff is friendly and helpful, and they carry a wide variety of products. Big tables in …
Very unique items, I love that they sell individual pokemom cards. Can occasionally be pricey, but it's local. I would rather support local business than shop online. They seem to be understaffed at times, we've had to wait in lines for a while. But great service otherwise.
Great comic, collectible and gaming store. Thank you!
Always a pleasant time at Darkside. We don't go very much but we wanted to reward our 7 year old and she doesn't own any comics. She does now and got a good variety with their mystery packs. Prices are fair and staff is very nice and helpful.
Great selection of books and games. Excellent bargain bin in the back.
I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the store and the helpful staff. …
What a great experience. So few really good brick and mortar game stores it is nice to have moved here and found a great place like this. Large space with a wide variety of games and merchandise. Comics galore, figures, dice, RPGs, CCGs, and all kinds of stuff. Owner who clearly takes care of their community.
I came here to learn how to play DnD and it was the best experience. They had a nice variety of snacks and drinks. I bought a tshirt and it’s super comfy. I will definitely be back!
Absolutely love this place. The staff is very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. I bring my 9yr old on weekends to learn Pokemon and these guys go above and beyond for all of the kids who come. We love Dark Side!
Place is a mainstay, always a great place to take the kids.
Stellar selection of comics and games, simply the best comic/game store in south southwest Florida. Games and gaming area take precedence in the store with comic library (which is quite impressive) feels pancaked to one side of the store, …
Fantastic, local comic book, collectible and gaming store! Awesome and friendly staff! Bringing back the good ol' days of a tangible and tactile comic book store with a friendly and nostalgic atmosphere! Join their Facebook for all events. You won't regret it!
Good selection of card, board, miniatures and paper gaming. Awesome collection of comics and graphic novels. Some limited selection on singles for card games but that’s the market lately. …
I started coming in to The Dark Side about three months ago because I wanted to learn how to play Magic: the Gathering. A 60-something, semi-retired person, I’m probably not your typical Comic/Game store patron. After just a few visits to …
As being the only comic book store in Sarasota, it's pretty good. There is always a sale going on for the comic books, with plenty in stock. They have large amount for board games to choose from and they even let you play with any board …
Good amount of current books and back issues. No mid range books really. A couple dozen CGCs and a couple good keys. Most stuff is either cover price, $10, or $400. As a newish collector, I'm looking for books in the $50-100 range but …
My son loves D&D and Yu-Gi-Oh. We found Dark Side while searching for a solid gaming store with play activity. This place has comics, RPGs, new and used table top games, and lots of cards for card battle games. They sell packs and individual cards. There are lots of play tables and they do competitions and tournaments.
If you play MTG, or any board game, strategy game, or just love comic books, this is where you need to go on a regular basis. The entire staff is warm and welcoming. They have knowledge on anything you want, and if they don't, they know …
Good selection of new comic variants. Not a huge back issue assortment. No dollar or 50 cent bins, but BOGO on back issues when I was there. Very nice that they bag and board all new comics. They have a stamp card promotion for every $10 …
Have been going to this store weekly for over a year. Dan is consistently beyond rude week in and week out. I’ve tolerated the treatment until this past time. He is the furthest thing from customer-oriented. Never happy to help, always feel …
Great place. The staff is enthusiastic about the product and there's always something going on. Lots of room for card games and tabletop games, tons of product across a huge range of subjects to satisfy all kinds of nerds, and most of it is stuff you just can't find in any other store!
This is one of the GREATEST comic book shops that I have ever been to. Why? The biggest reason is that their recent back issues (not this week, but last week and earlier) are sold for half off the cover price! HALF OFF THE COVER PRICE! From …
I came in looking for MTG singles. They had a kiosk to find the big ticket items in their inventory and the staff was very helpful in finding any of the other items I needed from their well organized stock. If I were a local, this would be my home store without question.
Dark Side is a great place to hang out and play games with friends, or meet and hangout with new people. Everyone is friendly and the environment is fun and welcoming. They have a wide variety of comics, board games, fan merch, posters …
Card shops aren't the same as they used to be, no extensive library where you can purchase old cards. Very limited selection of cards other than new box packs. This store would be a great place to shop for Magic the Gathering cards if they …
This is, hands down, the best game store in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. People routinely come from miles around to play here. You can usually find an open table to game at (but call ahead to make sure that there's no major events planned) …
Great place to place different type of card games like magic Yu-Gi-Oh d and d war hammer star wars and much more
Pros: AMAZING selection of comics and graphic novels. I mean amazing.
Cons: Their “sanctioned” Pokémon tournament is less than legit. Unfortunately when asked if it was adults only we were told yes but when we got there there were …
I wanted to wait on a writing a review until I could describe my experience there. I started playing tabletop rpgs for the first time here-- a friend and I made a post on one of their Facebook groups (ask about it, they have groups for a …
Dark Side in Sarasota is my go-to haven for comic bliss! The staff knows more about superheroes than my grandma knows about knitting. The atmosphere is so geek-chic, I half-expect Batman to swing by for a latte. Five stars for making my …
We were in from out of town visiting dark side. My family likes to frequent game shops. They thought this was better than average and it was certainly a large store! Dark side is comic book and general gaming heavy. However they were not as strong on Dungeons & Dragons materials. However, if you wanted mini's they had a large assortment.
Really large well organized and clean store. Good selection of new comics, with a large section of Warhammer at better prices than your standard games workshop. Staff was informative but bit socially awkward.
Amazing place, Wonderful people. Great comic selection new and old. You can create a comic pull list to keep up on current issues. Huge gaming areas for cards, board games, or table top gaming. There's a lot here. I recommend taking a look to see for yourself. You won't regret it!
Great little shop, friendly staff, if they don’t have it they can order it for you.
Dark Side Comics & Games is hands down, one of the best comic book stores I've ever been to! …
Always a pleasure. Great selection of comics, including manga; games, including board and card games; and even a few video games. Great selection of geek apparel, toys, dice, miniatures, kits, player handbooks, etc. Staff is friendly and …
Tons of comics, board games, dice, paint supplies, Magic the Gathering, and Pop figures for sale. Friendly, helpful staff. There are also many tables to play on and hundreds of board games to play for free! They offer classes in painting …
This place is amazing. The staff is so kind and helpful and it is easy to tell how passionate they are about things like comic books or Dungeons and Dragons or Magic: the Gathering. I cannot recommend this store enough.
The locations have changed over the years, but the great service and selection have remained constant. They have a ton of comics and games to pick from, and lots of events. Seems like a great place to hang out. …
I love the darkside been going for over 10 years. The owner Brian is very family oriented and makes a space welcome for anybody of any age. I appreciate the remodel and the changing table put in for babies. Thank you for what you do for the community and creating a safe space for everyone to enjoy their hobbies.
Something seems to go wrong every visit, nonetheless I would still recommend to anyone on the Sarasota area wanting to get into tournaments and warhammer 40k. Hell, even a family wanting to find a new interesting board game. I haven't had the best experiences with the place but its worth seeing yourself.
Good selection of board games. Much better than most board game stores. Small selection of used games too.
I stopped in to get some pokemon cards evaluated and the process was seamless and efficient. All the staff here are very nice and easy to talk to and always have great customer service. The store itself offers a mix of comic books desktop …
Usually I look forward to visiting this store, but I was in there today and they had several empty shelves and the only employee I saw ignored me and my girlfriend the entire time we were there. Still a great selection of board games and mini games, but rpgs seem like they have become an afterthought. Disappointed for the first time.
This place says they buy cards. Tell you a specific time to come in and then say we don't buy cards. I have been buying graded comics and Funkos here. I watched a card sale and was told sure we give 50% of book or 60% store credit. I was …
Great well stocked store. Great staff that entertained my 11y.o. son to exchange ave trade up pokemon cards. Magic AFR prerelease was loosely quoted over priced. But lots of things.
Let’s really talk about this store… I’ve been going here off and on for as long as I can remember it being in the Sarasota commons. It actually pains me to leave this review because I’ve been hoping for years they would turn their customer …
On vacation in Sarasota and looked up any local game stores. The Dark Side had great reviews so I stopped in. Well worth it! They've got a huge selection of games and comics...I ended up buying a few destiny boosters and a planes walker …
Took my nephew's there visiting from NY. One of my nephews bought a few vivid voltage Pokemon packs. Don't buy any Pokemon from them, they are selling fake packs. Code card even had date of 2015 while the fakes were 2020 dated. Cards …
I literally walked out of this place leaving at least $100 worth of goods on the counter. Why, you ask? I noticed a sign on counter that told me I was subject to a 2% fee for using anything but cash to make a purchase. Ha ha. That's a good …
Love coming here with my kid and friends. Staff is knowledgeable and has been awesome every time I've been. Love the variety of hobbies they have available. …
Brian is a J*w, I gave him an awesome price on some great figures and comics which he profit easy $1200 and he wouldn't even take $25 off a $125 comic when I went to his store. I hope the 40 $10 figure you labeled at $30 and the $15 #1 …
It's really hard to find places like this anymore and even more rare to find good ones. They have a great selection of books cards mags whatever you are looking for. The staff is always helpful. Most clean and organized shop I've seen like this.
For one week every July I come to Sarasota to visit with family. I make it a point to visit this store at least once every visit. I buy something every visit, usually something small, just to support this amazing place. Staff is always knowledgeable and polite, just can't praise thos place enough!
Best place to visit. Got a bunch of stuff from comics to mangas to action figures… even some marvel Legos. Spent less than a $100 hard to find a place that has such a winning atmosphere
Good location. Good variety. Friendly players. Poor management...Trading cards is usually a hassle seeing as the manager is the one to handle this type of business, whenever he decides to be there. Their trade-in valuing is what'd expect …
I wish I could give 4 and a half stars, because there is literally only one small thing that holds it back from being perfect.
It is still though one of the best comic shops I've ever been to. Featuring …
It is great comic book store. It offers everything you need. Except comics there are board games and an area to play them with friends, tshirts, figures you can paint and supplies for that, retro game consoles and all the geeky stuff we all like.
Great store, it’s a local gem. Wide variety of comics, games, trading cards and more. Rick the manager is always very helpful and kind. Happy to call this my local game shop.
While quite the drive for me to get to, the Dark Side never ceases to amaze me whenever I walk in through it's doors. Having first gone to its original location on Tamiami Trail nearly twelve years ago it is astonishing to see just how far …
Great place to shop for comics, games and any other nerdy items you might be looking for. They seem to have a little bit of everything for everyone. Just picked up a neat game to play so can't wait to play that!
Put monopoly right back on the shelf, back away slowly, and drive immediately to Dark Side and buy a real board game. No seriously.. just do it. ;) One of the smart AF meeples that work there will help you choose something that works for …
Nice store. Has a very large selection of games / comics and books / cards / minis.
This place is huge and has just about anything you could want for tabletop gaming of any kind - board games, card games, CCGs, TCGs, TRPGs, minis, etc. - as well as comics (and what seems to be a new section with vintage video games!). …
I love The Dark Side! They have a great manga selection and they’re my go-to for Pokémon cards. Antonio at the register is extremely knowledgeable and always helps me find what I’m looking for!
The staff was very knowledgeable, eager to help andwere happy to answer my questions. The selection of miniatures was much more than I have seen in a store in a LONG time as well. I look forward to visiting again.
Excellent selection of board games and even found some good Pokemon cards too. It's awesome that there's a huge amount of games to check out and play in store. Will certainly be back!
It's cool place but think your better selling your cards online or another way to get a honest fair price. Prices on some things are way high. But they are cool with late hours to hang with your friends.
Very disappointed with my customer experience. Its sad to see a business take advantage of LGS supporters! I took some magic cards in to trade for in-store credit like a near mint tarmygof MM15 and 3 dual lands from IMH as well as 30 or so …
Always enjoyed this place! I started going when they first opened at the 301 location used to go and LAN party and buy star wars toys.. the place has changed and grew plus moved! Staff has always been cool and kind really positive place in the community imo there needs to be more places like this!
Love this place all in one shop.
Very nice shop! Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful! It's a great destination shop for fellow comic and figurine enthusiast. They literally have everything you can think of!
Since I first came to this store a few years ago it has become a definite stop on any trip to the area. Friendly and helpful staff and a huge range of things from comics to board games, tabletop games and minis and even action figures. Worth a stop for anyone :)
I adore this place. The people who work there are so nice. They have the best posters, games, and pins! It's just a fun and peaceful place to be at
Great place to hang with a varied assortment of games, magazines and collector's items.
I came into the store to sell some old Pokemon and Yugioh cards that I had. Xavier helped me with the process. He looked through the cards I had and pulled out the ones the store would like to buy from me. To my surprise they wanted a good …
Best play to come and do everything, not only to purchase playing boards and comics. But to play them as well, and much more. You have table top games like war hammer 40k and age of sigmar, and good selection of kits to buy. They have …
If you're looking to start or meet up with a large group on the weekend DO NOT COME HERE. On Fridays and Saturdays there is never any seating, and several tables are reserved by Warhammer players but otherwise not in use. The card game …
Looking to support local business I took my son to buy a booster box they offered to us two weeks ago and now they won't sell the booster box because they can't get more until February (this was 12/31). Cool man, Amazon will be more than …
The Dark Side is the greatest. I'm mainly there for comics and have been a loyal customer for years. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have the biggest selection of board games in the area. Highly recommended.
This is one of my favorite stores. They have a huge selection of comics and games. Good prices. They are helpful and willing to order or find what you need. Ton of space to play games and frequent events.
Used to be friendly and helpful however many of the newer staff are standoffish and unhelpful since covid started. Went in to buy a copy of gloomhaven found it by the front door for 126 not the best price but not the worst either so we were …
I like Dark Side. Brian is a good guy and has helped me out when trying to find Mad Magazine for my collection. I would say they have the largest selection of graphic novels in the entire Suncoast area. They also sell quite a few harder to …
I love this place! My daughter and I have been coming here for years! Between the newest anime and the nostalgia there's a little something for everyone. Two thumbs up, highly recommend.
This is like nothing else around. They are a great comic and game store to begin with. But where they stand out is the table area in the back designed allow you try play games. You can bring a game, play a game you buy there, or try one of their many games in the game library.
They have a great selection of games and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Their selection of paint is what I am usually there for and to pick Will's brain about painting minis, he's always such a great help.
I have gone to dark side for many years over the different locations then it's been at, and I have never had anything but a stellar experience. The owner Brian is a wonderful man and his staff are polite and courteous. Fair prices, and if they do not have what you want they can likely order it for you!
Great place to go if you want to get scammed! Pulled a secret rare from a pack. It didnt work with my deck. Im new to Yu-Gi-Oh, so I went in to sell my $20 card so I could put that money towards other cards that would work with my current …
They have a huge selection of everything Fandom. Comic books, books, tabletop games, D&D, Warhammer, figurines, paints, merch, and much more. That's not too mention the large gaming area for meetups and the many events they host.
A great comic book store with a great sense of community and getting together for a round of Dungeons and Dragons and to discuss all things nerdy. An excellent selection of comics and a awesome staff. 5 stars!
Friendly environment... Helpful and Knowledgeable Staff. Abundance of comics and games with all the extras (dice/figures). Offers areas for gaming and opportunities to play. Environment is basic, could use some added extras but functional and well set up.
It is an awesome store! The people are friendly! The gaming community is great! It well worth 1.5 hour drive for me! I will go back anytime!
Comics, tabletop games, Warhammer, Magic the Gathering, D&D, Pathfinder, and everything in between. Very helpful staff and good deals on many items. Might get you into a new hobby or two! When Covid backs down, they'll probably begin daily and weekly events again too!
Lot's of great items.I Was able to acquire a last minute Christmas gift that would not have arrived on time due to delays. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Great store, amazing environment, good selection and pricing and very knowledgeable staff. Helped me pick out stuff for a commander deck, will definitely come back for future events.
A nice place and a good selection of board games, enough to make me stay for hours. The staff was also extremely helpful when I couldn't find what I was looking for and to give me recommendations for games I haven't tried yet. I'll be back.
Awesome place! Fantastic staff, always has events, great community, and large range of products! Highly recommended :)
You can play pokemon, Yugioh and magic. I personally go for the yugioh (and the community is pretty friendly and supportive) although many people in the Yugi community seem to hustle for cards. (So know your prices). …
Great shop, friendly and helpful staff, and a huge selection of comic books, board games, and cards. The back area is great for meeting up with some friends for games like D&D, Magic, board games, etc. All around great experience
I tend to greatly enjoy geeky things so for my birthday, my sweetheart brought me here. Lemme tell ya, if you have some geek in you, you need to see this place. Yer friggin head'll explode. There's so many comics and graphic novels and …
Great place! Games, comics, hobbies! Star Wars, Warhammer, 40k, Magic the gathering, Pokemon, D&D, and more are all here. It is for the geek in all of us. It is expensive though! I was like "When did the cost on these things go up so much?!?!?!?"
Super friendly service and a must shops store! They have so much to look at! I walked down every isle twice and still missed a lot! …
The tournaments are great the workers are great customer service reps.
But Bryan is a snake. He will double cross you. He does not give chances. There …
First time here was awesome but felt somewhat pressured to hurry up due to covid and the 10 person limit as others wanted to shop as well. Spent 15 minutes but I wanted to stay for hours and find cool stuff to purchase.
I live hours away but any time we are slightly close to this store, we have to stop by. They have huge selections of comics, figures, kids books, manga, video games, board games, mtg and yugioh.
I always enjoy spending time at Dark Side! The staff is friendly and helpful! They do events every month to teach games, host tournaments and giveaway comics. Hands down the best place in sarasota/bradenton for everything comics and tabletop!!
Too many times that I’ve interacted with someone (either in person or over the phone) from this store, I’ve had a negative experience. Either the employee seems unenthusiastic to help, or borderline annoyed. The store has good prices, but a serious lack of customer service.
Great all-around comic store I'd like to call figurines memorabilia and gaming on certain nights staff is super friendly
I love this place has comic books, board games, card games, magic cards and more. They have tables to play on and have tournament days. There are drinks and snacks too. People that work there are knowledgeable about products.
They have great prices and a lot of stuff to select from. Very cool store.
Anything you could want for tabletop or rp gaming can be found here. If you saw it at a convention, they sell it. Wonderful staff, very very knowledgeable people. They host several events just ask and they will let you know what's coming up.
Good variety of comics, tcg, board games and collectibles
This place has a great board game collection; with a discount rack! Friendly and attentive staff made for a great checkout process. I found a american copy of A La Carte!
Awesome shop with an awesome gaming community. There are regular Magic, Warhammer, Yugi-Oh and Pokemon events, along with board game nights and other stuff. There's so much to do at this store, it's insane.
1,000 review! This place is amazing! So many options for dnd, mtg and more!
Very great store. Great selection of games and comics. And super friendly and welcoming staff
Adding a extra fee for paying with a card feels like a slap in the face to customers
It was alright. I was unable to find the first volume of the alien omnibus. Found a ps4 game listed at $99 when you can get it from walmart or gamestop for $50ish. When brought to the clerks attention he informed me that he doesn't set the …
Love this friendly and helpful staff and community
Best comic & game shop around. It takes me an hour to get there but it's absolutely worth it. Huge selection and great vibe.
First time coming to this store as a recommendation, I was blown away by the wide selection of stuff they have from D&D, TCG, manga and comics. Every geek/nerd's dream. Plus, friendly staff they have. Worth coming back to! 🤓❤️ …
A big, well laid out store. Lots of gaming, comic and even some plastic models. Very good selection of Magic the Gathering singles, too.
Cool store with lots of comics and trading card selection!!
Amazing place to go to release all your inner nerdiness and be 100% accepted for being yourself. Plenty of manga and anime options plus if you like playing D&D or Warhammer or anything really they have places to game together as well .
Place was dead, and still I didn’t warrant a hello or how can I help you.
Just needed a place to get some singles on vacation but I guess not.
Well tcgplayer.com will be able to ship them to me! Very disappointing!
They did a special order for us. The price was good and the delivery time was awesome!
Has an AMAZING selection of graphic novels and I brought my son (7) and they answered all his questions about Pokémon cards. Will never go to another comic book store again and I live in north port, it’s worth the drive!
This is definitely the best place to get your video game and comic fix, both old and new gen. With affordable pricing and great customer service, they really make me feel like a kid again.
amazing place great staff haven't been since they moved new store is 10x better love it go every chance I get now
Love it! Good prices, great customer service and they have some amazing stuff. Daily game play if your into the games like magic and dungeons and dragons
This place is a great, locally owned business. The employees are always super friendly. The only thing that is ever less than ideal is that they only have one register. Sometimes waiting to check out can be somewhat onerous.
Lots of good vintage games. I found several I’d been looking for years. Helpful staff. Would definitely recommend
Tons of games, sorted by type and theme. Plenty of space for tabletop games. Saw lots of DnD going on. Strict “bathe or leave” policy probably makes Friday nights bearable.
Best comic and gaming store on the west coast of Florida. Friendly and incredible selection. Old, new & vintage games and collectibles. Say hi to the Emperor (Brian) if you visit.
Very wide selection, great prices, great customer service, and game night (pre-covid) is so much fun! Great place to meet new people and share common interests.
Great shop! A decent selection of back issues and lots of new books. Tons of gaming stuff! Friendly staff and ready to help! Thanks!
this place has all the Warhammer models and paints you can ever need. Plus a manager for the store has extensive knowledge on the different armies in Warhammer and great techniques on how to paint the models
Great staff with a huge variety of products. They let us play board games for hours at a time at no charge. Love this place!
Darkside is the best place to go for Comics and Games in all of Manatee and Sarasota county, and may even be one of the best in the state. Darkside carries a large variety of products from old and new comic books, singles for trading cards …
Friendly workers, lots of great stuff to find from comics, Manga, dnd dice sets, mtg play sets, love the community there highly recommend stopping in.
Excellent place for comic collectors and table top gaming! We go there for their collection of MTG cards or to sit in the back and play MTG. Excellent and friendly staff!
I've been gaming here for years, Warhammer 40K, Magic the Gathering, board games and Lan parties. Tons of comics and graphic novels. The owner Brian is a really nice guy too.
They buy old games and consoles for a reasonable return in store credit if you want cash then they give you half of what the credit is. That kind of sucks
Huge Store! Tons of selection. Definitely biggest Pokémon / Magic store in Sarasota.
Wished they had a larger dnd mini selection but large area for gaming and a wide variety regardless. Helpful staff. Reasonable prices.
the Owner is rumored to be part of the fabled Black Knight's! pretty sure he just ran furbs though. but great store and friendly staff! would photon again!
Packed with great stuff. Games, comics, figures, cards. They have game nights so you can check out some games before you buy. Very helpful & knowledgeable staff.
This is NOT the place if you are a card collector. They don't allow you to pick through the boxes of cards yourself and they're computer system is not up to date. I wasn't able to see any of the cards until they were actually pulled by the …
Great shop! All nerd needs you want, met! Affordable prices and unique dice. Highly recommend
Huge variety of everything you could want for Comic, gaming, collectibles, miniatures, dice with organized tournaments & plenty of room to play games in a clean environment!
Best store around for mtg, computer systems for easy store browsing of card inventory, but needs updated. Super friendly, competitive prices.
Had a wonderful Friday evening playing draft here. The staff was amazing and all the clientele solid.
Super cool atmosphere! Definitely for the gamer. I loved how the comics were bagged and backed. Never saw that before at a comic bookstore. Would go back there, for sure.
I was feeling down, so my mom took me to Dark Side to cheer me up. Ended up getting 2 comic books, a Spider-Man button, a Pikachu graded card, and a miniature Gengar figure.
So I give a low rating for only one reason. After I was charged I looked at my receipt and it was different from what I was charged. I was talking to the employee as I checked out so I may not have seen a sign but I also was not notified …
Had a super fun time at the MtG aetherdrift pre-release.
Fingers crossed that I do better in the next RCQ, but this store was fabulous place for a tournament!
Clean, well-stocked, lots of gaming tables and regular events. My only gripe is that there is usually a line for the bathroom. Oh well, there's a grocery store nearby for additional bathrooms.
Very helpful staff, huge gaming area, big selection of play 'em-before-you-buy 'em board & card games. And, of course, massive amounts of comics, games & gaming supplies.
Great card shop that also carries a good amount of board games and older consoles with games
Love going here. Great selection of games. Knowledgeable staff that doesn't pressure you. I've bought several games from here.
My son pulls me here nearly every other week and seems to always find what he’s looking for + some. Reasonable pricing and friendly staff
Great selection of trading cards but the employee, Dan who handles the card selection is not the nicest employee there, very difficult to deal with and horrible at customer service!! Asking questions is nearly impossible with Dan!!
The store itself is good. There's a policy in place where you have to pay to bring in outside food, which is the most outrageous thing I've ever heard of.
I love this place and have had many experiences, however recently a new employee was hired and he has very little enthusiasm. It's kinda sad to see but I really hope he's doing ok, I love this place and it's people and would hate to see it go backwards
It's only really great if you're playing cards or buying comics
Great place to find magic cards and good prices too! They have a card searcher for magic the gathering, pokemon, etc so that you don't have to spend hours looking through bulk for the card you need !!
Grate place to hang out and nerd out. Friendly employees who are genuinely really helpful. Been going here for years now as my regular place to play.
Nice gaming space! They don't stock gunpla yet but the man said he's getting ready to open shop soon.
Great gaming store, lots of good deals and good people.
Been going for over 20 years I feel like lol. Love this place. Lots of good stuff for a nerd like me.
Great place for all your game and comic book needs. They have limited hours so alway check before you go but when you do it will always be worth it.
This is an amazing shop with employees who are subject matter experts in the comic and gaming world. They will do their best to help you, even help you research information to get you the best quality stuff. Enjoy!
It's a fantastic reminder of a bygone era. They are awesome. They always help. It's an amazing store
It's really kind of the only game store in town. Fortunately, there's plenty of space to play for everyone. Plus, ya know, I heard they have cookies.
Great staff & incredible inventory….something for every interest and age! Appreciate the collector card games too!
Great store! This store has everything! Whenever a new set of Magic The Gathering comes out, I am there to pick up a box!
Amazing selection across the whole comic and game spectrum. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of cool events too.
Awesome collection of comics, Japanese manga, toys and merch. Massive table top game selection, small video game section with hard to get accessories. …
I enjoy going to dark side. They are more a game store then a comic store. But they are a nice addition to the local community and have opened their doors to the homeschool community.
Sellers Beware! Research your items online before attempting to sell here or you'll get skinned alive. Offered me $650 for 10 unplayed 3rd edition revised mtg dual land cards (complete set)...online retailers offered $1015 for 9 of these cards sight unseen. Waste of time.
The reviews seem great (for people who walk into the shop) but its pretty much impossible to order from the website. if i order from the 'Pull List' does that mean it's not in stock?
Impressive, lots to look at, plenty to play, family friendly and clean. I’m glad to see a comic book store still around, keep supporting places like this.
Great selections, fun weekly events, courteous knowledgeable staff. Best overall experience in the area.
Really cool place. They have so much stuff and a D'nD gaming center in the back!
Really good game store with something for everyone.
An absolutely fantastic flgs/comic shop! Very friendly staff and an amazing selection of all things nerdy! Would highly recommend!
Fine place, but the location is off. It's actually located to the shopping plaza a little north of this position, the one with the Publix grocery store. Don't repeat the same mistake by looking for it here.
The store is great, and the people that work there are great as well. Best place I have ever been to.
Wonderful place to gather for gaming and discover the games to enjoy. Knowledgeable staff that can help you pick out the right comic style you like our game types to play
This is one of the best toy/game/comic stores around. They have pretty much anything you could want.
It felt like I walked into a hobby shop from the 80s, but it had a ton of current product as well! They sell comics but focus mostly on recent issues (most within the last six months).
Great place! Good collection in everything.
Commander nights on Saturday if anyone needs to know Xd
Pretty neat spot with lots of board games. Plenty of seating in the back of the store to try out various board games. Many board games to choose from.
Great local business. Good for games, comics, miniatures, and general nerdy stuffs.
Kids of all ages love this place they havs lots of comics games trading cards and hold events for the kids as well you can get drinks and snacks as well my grandson is 14 he loves this place my daughter is 30 she loves it
Awesome gaming and comic shop. Jumped into an AL game with no problems. Staff as well as patrons are very friendly and inviting
Staff is rude. Owner is rude. Bathrooms are dirty. I'll spend the extra gas and drive up to Armada Games in Tampa. Much better experience there.
Super selection!! Nice workers!! I have to go back to see the whole place!! Found something one of bestfriends was looking for!! Made her day and mine!!
Played Pokemon met new friends and got free cards! Professor super cool nice and inviting! Going back next weekend.
The owner is incredibly disrespectful, mean-spirited and condescending. He can and will talk down to you. It's a shame, because the rest of the staff are lovely people.
My favorite card store! Always super welcoming staff and clean environment!
This place is very nice, has a great selection of stuff. A worthwhile stop for any gamer.
Nice gaming store, decent selection, varied but not huge selrction. Good atmosphere for game playing.
The staff is awesome and there's tons of comics games bobble heads and everything they have everything they even have carnages first appearance in spider-man
My FLGS I frequent for hobby miscellany. Friendly staff is always willing to help or answer a question.
Great selection of comics and games! Very knowledgeable staff and lots of events! Would recommend it to anyone!
Great all around comic book store and gaming. Plus they carry all the odds and ends like vintage toys and statues.
Has a wide variety of games and entertainment products. Wonderful Service. Employees are helpful, knowledgeable and funny.
Wonderful store and staff. Great products at a good price point. One of my favorite places in the area.
Darkside was a great time it had everything I needed. The only thing I didn't like was passing the 2% credit card fee on to me. Just bring cash all the time
Great Place!!! Decently priced for quality merchandise. An all around fun and fascinating store to go and look about.
So much stuff and while I was there the staff was really nice love the concept of being able to play games can learn it before I buy it.
Went there to browse models. Was greeted when I entered. And asked if I needed assistance. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will be back.
This place is awesome! They gave games, comic books, dice, everything! Also an era 5o play table top games in!
They have so many comics and board games and dungeon and dragons stuff. Amazing place.
I've been going to Darkside for years. A great store. The occasional bad guest of course but you'll find those people anywhere you go.
They have from comics to action figures to old school video games and board games. It's going to take you a few days to really see it all. Definitely we will return
Excellent selection of games, knowledgeable and friendly people ready to play or share thier passions about game and comics are abound
Nice shop. Well organized with friendly staff
For a good local comics/gaming place, this place is Great! Very friendly, long as you follow the very few rules they have!
Really nice people gave me a fair price
The kids behind the counter are friendly, the selection is fantastic, and they’re open all afternoon.
Best Comic/Board Game/Card Game/Tabletop Gaming store in the Sarasota/Port Charlotte/Bradenton area.
I come today for Magic Open House but they tell me nobody know here about this event. :( And I ask maybe for welcome starter deck but they tell me they no have it :(
Great selection. Awesome family environment. Especially fun on Free Comic Book Day.
The guys were very helpful helping me find some pokémon cards for my nephew.
I liken it to a library of comics, very impressed with selection. Staff is kind and helpful.
Plenty of games and comics to browse through. There is a library is store owned games to try. Plenty of weekly events, such as the Thursday night board game event.
Prices are way too high compared to everywhere else I’ve looked. Would not recommend. They’ve robbed me for money many times before.
It's a great card shop they got a lot of selection
Great selection! Great staff! Been going there for 10years, 3 kids and they all the dark side!
Awesome place to get everything your nerdy heart desires! D&d, Pathfinder, magic the gathering, and more as well as hundreds of awesome comics!
Awesome store for comics, gamers & collectors. Also a great place for models and for playing.
Helpful staff, plenty of selection, and a large gaming section in the back with a sizeable collection of demo games!
Great store with good products and nice people. Very laid back and comfortable handling merch!
Great ice cream for sure and they were actually very frie dly compared to alot of places around here.. Ill be back payday😉 …
Love this place. I always leave happy!
The second time family members were at this business with intention to buy.Today they actually were greeted by staff, last time not. Limited inventory, limited quality and limited desire to sell their product.
I DM a Dungeons and Dragons game on Wednesday nights. I love it there! My favorite shop by far!
Loved the store prices range on what you're looking for
Comics
Games …
Great Store. The staff is extremely helpful, and if whatever you want is not in stock, the can order it for a discount!
Good prices, not a lot of back issues but great selection of everything else I would look for
One of the best selections for gaming I’ve ever seen. Store owner was extremely helpful.
Great selection however sold stock was not updated causing some frustration searching cards and wasting employee and customer time.
Bad info from these people. No good
Great customer service and 1 of the best game shops you'll have a chance to go to.
1st time there. Awesome people and I honestly could've spent alot of time there but had to go somewhere
This place is amazing and has so much more than graphic novels, comics and games!

Nice staff. Fantastic supply. Very much willing to help anyone. Learn and do. Will visit again
Phenomenal service, ask for Aaron if you have any questions about Magic. THE place for tabletop in the area.
Only comic place in the Sarasota area. Hosts frequent card tournaments and has a fair selection of singles and packs. They do sell comics but I'm not one to judge about comics.
Great shop. They sell everything a collector could need, including single cards.
Great place to play magic the gathering. Plenty of other games and comic books.

Lots of games to try before you buy and a ton of variety make this store stand out from any other like it.
This place has everything, and a giant wall of Warhammer stuff. Nice staff too.
We did fond everything and first Time at that shop and would reccomend. I’m from canada.

Love this comic/rpg/game store. Absolutely the best within 25 miles.
Awesome store with a large selection of anything that's geek and nerdy.
Really the best comic and game shop you will ever find. Believe me, I've searched
I was instantly judged as I walked in and given such poor customer with a rather rude young lady I walked out of the store. I will take my business elsewhere
Dont go in for comic books nobody seems to care or know anything and it seems that most of the staff and owner would rather that part of the store wasn't there anyways.
Amazing place, so much great stuff and all at an affordable price.
One of the best game/comic book stores in Florida.
Great place for comics. Great staff
Amazing place and even held the Fortnite book my son wanted they rock
