Such a cool place! I popped in after going to Walgreens. I happen to be the niece of a big comic book collector. This place is so neat. Packed with merchandise. I think some great Christmas gift ideas are here for comic and game lovers. My mind goes to Big Bang Theory. Just ask questions, the manager is ready to help you find what you need. Check it out for yourself!

It looks like the review I just did a few minutes ago did not upload. So I hope this won’t be a repeat.I popped into Walgreens today and decided to check out the comic books. What a neat place! It is packed with great gift ideas, something to think about as the holidays are approaching.This place makes me think of the big bang theory television show.If you know anyone who is interested in comic books and games I would send them here. Such a cool place. Seriously stocked with products. Check it out!

Always a great place to go! They are impacted by supply and game shortages as well, but Matt (the owner) is very honest and upfront about that fact. Still they have a great selection of comic books, board games of all sorts for all ages, and of course, MTG and Pokemon cards. The staff is a great combination of polite, helpful and knowledgeable. You dont have to be a geek or nerd to shop here or enjoy the atmosphere, it just adds that little bit extra.

Awesome store. Lots of things to see. Definitely worth the visit.

Owner said was interested in purchasing comic book collection. Out of 100 books he offered me $5 for most valuable one I have and nothing for the rest ..waste of time. Only interested in his end. All comics in excellent shape from 1990s. Batman,superman x-men etc. Will not go back

Great family-owned business good prices on comic books and other items if youre interested definitely worth the trip

Staff is incredible they are helpful and knowledgable. Great selection of single cards mtg products pokemon table top gaming and they host events every night. Even if you arent into that stuff just go in for the aesthetic I promise you wont leave without buying something.

This is my absolute favorite store. I want to sit on the floor for hours to look at all the wonderful things. They are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. We have been able to find some of our favorite board games from their suggestions.

Fantastic selection of board games. Good selection of minis. Okay selection of trading card games. Subpar to poor selection of comics. I understand, comics seem to be going bye-bye. But it still sucks for us comic lovers. But, they do have a nice room with lots of tables to play. So theres that.

Awesome shop with a good selection. The game space is great. Highly recommend.

If you any kinda of comic book nerd, like I am it is a fun place to be. There is also a large selection of board games and DND action. More than likely you will find people on a campaign or playing Magic!

Excellent selection of games and comics. Ample gaming space as well!

Incredible selection of board and card games and comics, and gaming accessories. From playmats and dice boxes, to a literal A-Z selection of games expertly organized, and even tables to play at with regular events and competitions... Parker Banner Kent & Wayne is a destination Ive made a point to visit each time Ive come to NC.

One of the best comic and hobby stores in the area. Great selection and lots of play space.

Ive been coming to this game shop for a few years now and have had many great experiences. Staff is always attentive and knowledgeable, customers are overall friendly and its easy to find people to play with.Inventory and offerings are good, and if you want something they do not have in stock, theyll order it for you.Theres usually a decent-size crowd on Fridays for Magic. Thursdays are boardgame night.They have a great assortment of D&D products and miniatures and everything Magic. Theres also a ton of different boardgames, and if you have an idea of how you want to play, the staff usually give great recommendations for things to try.

A hidden gem here in Old Town Cornelius. My son loves this place! Highly recommend checking it out.

I have really grown to like this card shop. I cant wait to attend FNM and play some EDH. The staff is great. They are well organized and quick to help if you arent sure of something or have questions. They have a great selection of products, they are easily accessible, and have a great sales floor. Their customer loyalty program is a nice addition to an all around wonderful experience. If you live in the Lake Norman area, this is the game store to visit.

Very organized and clean. Excellent selection of games and comics.

First time I’ve ever been here I like the store and the people here are very friendly and I get 100% that a store had to make money. I just went in to trade three cards for a box of mtg cards a 60 dollar card a 50 dollar card and a 40 dollar card it was like 114 in store credit which I was fine with but then I’m order to get a box I had to pay per pack price because I was using in store credit I’ve been to so many card shops and never once have I heard this I just done see why I have to pay 150 for a booster box of kaldheim because I’m using store credit. If you want a store with what seems like nice people and a nice selection of stuff and don’t want to do any trading in it may be for you but it’s not for me. And the major downvote was because I drove a hour to get here and I called to see how there trade ins worked before I left the house I feel like with who I talked to knowing I wanted to trade in for a box could have at least told me that..

I was visiting family in North Carolina and I was on a search for Hero Clicks for my dad’s birthday. I called the store and spoke to a very nice and friendly guy about it and he said they had new and old sets. Once my boyfriend and I got there I was amazed at how much merchandise they had. I was there for Marvel and DC products but they also had Magic cards, Star Wars models, board games, dice, paints and so much more. They had comics I have only heard about, it was truly amazing. It was all spaced out very nicely so we could social distance if needed. They also run a stamp card promotion which I found very cool and exciting. I spent a little over 70 dollars today so I got 6 stamps on my stamp card and I will definitely be back and recommend it for anyone in the area or anyone looking for a nerdy and unique gift. One nerd to another, 10/10!!

Clean place, great selection of games and gaming accessories. Old comics are a bit pricier than other local comic shops though. I love to pick through a few old series and always leave a comic shop with at least 2-3 old comics, but not here.

Went this past weekend and found they had no mask enforcement for employees or customers. Noticed immediately upon entering that employees behind the counter were not wearing masks. In the table section multiple people sitting closely around tables with no masks. Maybe 20+ people in the store and I observed only 3 other customers with masks on. It is the worst compliance I have seen since the pandemic started. Im sad because they have a great selection of games and paints, but I cannot support a store that shows such a blatant disregard for their customers and employees health and safety

Wish I had a store like this in my home town. Amazing store and staff. Can not wait to visit again.

Great place. Lots of gaming and comics

Friendly staff. Clean store. This is aimed more at gaming than comics, but they do have a good selection of graphic novels.

Nice clean store, helpful and friendly staff.

Great little comic book store with good selection of graphic novels. Lacks new comics though.

Good service and selections on board games, card games, and comics.

Employees and Customers not wearing masks along with being condescending. Would not come back due to the safety hazard this imposes and the disregard for human decency

Omg! Love this place. My husband and I went in here for the first time ever. Was so shocked to see how big the store was.They had all different kinds of board games - right up my alley. Loved it so much, I stopped back by on my way home from the store to purchase Ticket to Ride. The owner’s wife helped me find the game. She was extremely friendly and told me about the game nights they host on Thursday and Saturday.And she also set me up with a rewards card for $15 off! I’ll definitely be back. Can’t wait!

Always have what I need and even the stuff I didnt know I needed. Amazing atmosphere and nice staff, and a simple rewards point card that equals $15 off at 10 points ($10 spent = 1 point) - effectively being %15 off on purchases around $100.Highly recommend!

First place Ive found locally with a good selection of Warhammer and Warhammer 40k tabletop stuff. Nice store and good selection and prices. Ill definitely be back.

Amazingly well stocked boardgame store. Staff is friendly and enthusiastic about their trade, a couple of them helped me figure out the rules of a game I wanted to try and stayed to play. We were was having a lot of fun, then I realized they were the owners! You can tell they are very much in love with what they do. Cant help but cheer for them, I hope business thrives!

Best gaming store in the Charlotte area, hands down!

Picked a hard to find trade paperback at cover price..very cool.

Really cool shop, but I was there last night and lots of people werent wearing masks! Even employees at the front desk werent wearing masks. I love to support my local shops, but that is really unsafe to allow that.

Good selection of older comics and all the new ones. Lot of graphic novels to choose from. Funko pop characters also.

Store is not really my thing as they are into miniature games and card games. Cool store for those who are into it though.

Great selection of MTG cards, and comics

Great place, good atmosphere, huge selection

Great place to hang out with friends and play some commander. Large selection of singles and anything else you could want including dnd, Warhammer and comics

Very great staff, practicing social distance rules and wearing masks. Amazing stock of games, comics/Manga, and dice. Always love going in, sometimes spend more than expected...

Great place, with a good smattering of stock, and the owner is an nice guy.

This is mostly a table top gaming store, BUT they also do have a great selection of comics, particularly their back issues and graphic novels/trades. My only complaint is that the back issue boxes were packed too tight with books. Other than that, my experience was this store was good! 👍

They truly love fostering a community of gamers of every kind. Best people, prices and selection for comics and card games. I drive out of my way 40 minutes twice a week out of raw appreciation!

Large store with wonderful selection. Staff and owners were knowledgeable and great. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone.

Good selection of games, comics & graphic novels.

Great staff that have always been helpful to me. Good location and well stocked.

Great store with a friendly owner who seems to really enjoy talking to his customers about their interests. The atmosphere is very conducive to a community of hobbyists and comic lovers.The D&D stuff is priced reasonably for how expensive it usually is in any store, and you can pick up some older and lesser known comics very cheaply.

Will not be back any time soon. Way too many employees and customers not wearing masks. And one person at the cash register talking on the phone and no employee asked him to move. I did not feel safe.

These guys are fantastic. Every time I visit Im greeted with a smile and I know theres at least one guy whos always on the lookout for all things Shazam on my behalf. The vibe is equal parts comics and table top games. They also have top-quality Gundam to build. Come hang out!

Unbelievable Selection. I travel quite a bit and see quite a few stores.. this place had things on the shelf I have never seen in actual B&M stores. Kudos to them! It also has a nice playing area.

Ive been here a few times with my sister to get strategy board games... were obsessed. I love that the people that come to this store are just as into the games as we are-- if not MORE!! The owners are so nice and helpful. Everytime we go in for a new game they are suggesting, explaining and even bringing out games to show us how to play. I know they host game nights but Ive never been. Whenever I visit my sister I make sure to stop by-- they never disappoint!!

Staff isnt very talkative. Stores geared towards comic books and magic the gathering. Having some other TCG in stock besides Pokemon and magic would be beneficial to your business and help bring in other types of customers.

Great place for comics and games!

Plenty of back issues, trade paperbacks, and supplies. Go when you have time to dig through the long boxes. I dont know anything about gaming but there was plenty of stuff on hand.

By far the best shop in the area and the owner is absolutely great. It has become very rare to walk into a comic book store and actually speak about comics with someone for a couple of hours. There was also a ton of people gaming there and the atmosphere was just so friendly. I wish we had a shop like this where just live.

Great comics and gaming store. Huge selection!

The staff is knowledge and friendly! Good board game selection. Ask the staff for recommendations if you are feeling overwhelmed.

The #1 place to go for MTG.

Best Comic store I have been in, and my repitiore is fairly extensive. The owner is magnificent and genuinely cares about all clientele and their interests, and if he doesnt know he will find out!

For this place to be my local nerd store I feel very lucky! Friendly people who like to game. Come over and see everything they have for yourself.

Love this place. Every game known to man in an extremely friendly, fun environment. If you love games and hobbies you need to check this place out.

Went there for a Pokemon league challenge. The organizer had an emergency, which was fine life happens. But there was no one at the store able to take over. The locals did the best they could and got it started, but it was an hour and a half late. And the newest booster packs were sold out, so prize packs were over a year old. Again almost no effort made by the store to take charge of the situation, very poorly handled.

I remember when I first moved here from out of state May 2019. I went to P.B.K.W. my second day and from the moment I walked in, I knew I found my LGS. I was treated very well by the owners and staff. The customers I have interacted with are friendly and the atmosphere is terrific! I highly recommend Parker Banner Kent and Wayne!

I have shopped here for a couple yrs now. Helpful, friendly staff. Have purchased strategy board games for grandsons and Secret Santa. Also bought t-shirts, card games and gaming pieces. Great stock, nice variety.

Great place to visit. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff

Great store with a wide selection of games. The staff is friendly and they have a great mtg setup. They carry all the D&D 5e books as well as some one off adventures and converted campaigns from Goodman games. The pricing is reasonable for what Ive seen with other game shops. Id always rather buy local than off Amazon when I can.

Great place to hang out, converse, and find what you are looking for. They have an impressive selection of games, comics, and cards. The people that both work there and visit are very inviting. I make new friends every time I go there. Only place I know of where the owner will sit down and play a game with you. Dont change a thing!

Phenomenal selection, spacious & well organized. Fun staff, too! Worth the drive (from Charlotte). Superior to most other gaming stores on every level.

Pretty good selection of comic, card, board, and war games. Plenty of paint and hobby supplies.

Unbelievable place. Matt and Danielle are the best. The owner Matt, sat down with my son, and taught him how to play Magic. Danielle, Matts wife, answered all kinds of questions for me and my son as well about the game. They have an incredible selection of games and comics. Really great people and place.

Cool shop tons of stuffs. Friendly staff too

Helpful staff, friendly owner, and great availability of products. My favorite store.

PBKW is great. Super helpful in finding what you need and suggesting new games based on what you already like. They have different game nights and competitions throughout the week. The Thursday game night has a giant shelf of games to pick from for free. All of them are available in store for purchase if you love one and must have it.

Went there for the first time last night and its a really nice shop. Huge collection of TPBs, New Releases, and moderns. More gaming stock and gaming supplies than I have seen in NC. The entire staff were super cool even with a Magic Tourney going on. Great conversation, (levels that only experienced collectors can get on and they are awesome with kids), smooth atmosphere, and extremely versed in everything they sell. They have anything for gaming and if you know your stuff you can score some deals on comics as well. All and all, its one of those places you will never leave without remembering and feeling good.

Would be a 5 ⭐️ but they refuse to comply with COVID regulations. I guess if you’re into large groups of people in close quarters without a mask in sight, THIS is the place for you.

Best board game store ever! Friendly and helpful staff and an incredible selection and diversity of games. Board game meetup nights are an added bonus too.

Great place to get board games. Will update my review next time I am in. They were refinishing the floor. Staff was nice and helpful and the selection was absolutely excellent.

Great place for your table top and comic needs. Room for game nights and a super helpful staff.

Our go to for games and minis. The owners are so nice and they are very helpful.

It looks like a cool place for games but if your a comic book collector then this place is not for you. They seem to be totally clueless on how to care for the comics that they sell. the long boxes are packed so full you can barely pull out one comic and because of this almost every single comic has spine stress damage. The prices are right in line with what youd expect to pay on eBay but you cant charge those prices when all your books are smashed. the staff seemed super friendly and again if you like role-playing games youll probably love this place but if you like comic books youll probably hate this place

A great local game store with a first rate selection of board games. They also have Magic, Pokemon and miniature games plus a wide selection of comics. Awesome staff thats very friendly and helpful. Im a happy repeat customer.

This was such a fun place to visit that I wish more people knew about it. Lots of friendly people here with guys and girls of all ages playing from a vast selection of games. Its like a gaming zone more than just a store! Many tables and seats available to play at. The owner is also great and will join in on the games! Stop in to hang out, try some free board games, and grab a vending machine candy/soda for only $0.50 cents and you will be hooked!

Great place with a wonderful environment, and a very friendly staff. Being disabled, I worry if things are actually handicapped accessible. Not only was the place pretty handicap accessible, but the staff and the other players that come there were more than willing to help me with my needs. Will definitely go here again

Very cool. Tons of things to do. The staff are nice and their selection is very large

Friendly staff and a great assortment of products. Whether you are already immersed in the comics and/or games culture or would like to just dip your toe in the water, this is a good place to go. My kids always want to tag along with me when I visit the shop.

This is one of the coolest comic stores I have been to. A friendly staff an amazing selection of games and comics and a nice clean place!

Nice size space, nice people, good collection of cards.

Great store. Lots of room to play. They carry every game you can think of and keep the terrain to play some of the more involved games available. Very comfortable environment. Just fun all around.

The best card store and comic shop Ive ever been to. Well stocked, well run tournaments, and a supportive community. Come here if you like comic books, collectible card games, or board games.

Its the best comic and games store Ive been to in years. So glad I found this place. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The owner is a great guy and remembers your name when you come back. Excellent rewards program too.

Came here after a friend recommended the place. They have an AMAZING selection of dnd/pathfinder 28mm miniatures! Could not recommend this place more! The owner and his wife were working the register and they were both very nice and engaging, but also allowed for privacy while you shop. I will definitely be visiting this business again when I’m in town!!

My boys love this store. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and help us choose age appropriate comics.

Much more of a gaming shop than a comic shop. If you’re a gamer, this place is great. As far as comics go, a decent selection of TPB’s and floppy back issues. However, my thing is hardcover comics, and their selection was OK. I left without finding anything I wanted. A small selection of Pops, though my girlfriend got a great deal on a rare chase of Stephen King’s It, that made it worth the drive. I would recommend this store to gamers.

Always a great environment, very positive and helpful individuals. And super accommodating, if they dont have it theyll at least see about getting what you need.

Great owners and fun environment. The owners are always happy to help. I had questions about miniature painting and the owner gave me a crash course and great recommendations. I will continue to give this brick and mortar my business.

Always a fun time! Lots of enthusiastic game playing individuals! Great environment to be exposed to all the newest games, before deciding on the ones you want to bring home to teach your friends and family!

PBKW is a shining example of what friendly local game/comic store should be. The atmosphere is welcoming, theres plenty of room for gaming, and the prices are more than fair. Whether youre looking to learn some new games or meet people who are interested in the ones you already like, this is a great environment for it.

Great if you love games, really heavy on that and was surprised at how many games are out there. Plenty of accessories too. They also host competitions. Solid selection of comics, well organized. Lighter on trades and little to no Manga.
