What customers say

If you’re a comic book fan, Graham Crackers Comics in the Loop is a must-visit! The store has an amazing selection of comics, graphic novels, and collectibles. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to offer great recommendations whether you’re a longtime reader or just getting started.

Such a wonderful game store! They have a HUGE variety of board games for purchase, paints for miniatures, singles for Magic, pre constructed decks for Magic and Pokémon, and an AMAZING board game library to just pick up and play in store. The staff was also incredibly helpful and friendly.

Located next to a university and a park, this shop sits in the middle of the street. It features an electronic card catalog for its trading card games, with some higher-value cards on permanent display. After placing an order on their computer, a list is printed and a staff member gathers your cards.
