My favorite comic book stores (Gaithersburg and Frederick locations). The staff are friendly, they know their stuff and have a great selection of comics, books, toys, statues, etc. I have seen a few rude people who dont seem to appreciate what a comic shop is but that is definitely not their fault. Be polite and they will bend over backwards to help you find what youre looking for.

Ive followed Beyond Comics from location to location for literal decades. My favorite comic store bar none. Even when I lived in Virginia, in walking distance of two excellent comic shops, I still made it a point to come back to Gaithersburg when I needed my comics fix.Great selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff, best stock of collectables around. Who could ask for more?

I walk into the Beyond Comics in Gaithersburg, MD and witnessed a young boy being yelled and screamed by one of the store employees.The store employee was very threatening, and verbally abusive. All bc the kid didn’t have a mask, and then when he went back in with a mask he got verbally attacked???!!! I hope that’s not how all beyond comic employees act...that’s not the right way to handle a situation. You guys should really try harder on your employee selection. Sorry but you all are a bad egg.

As someone who rarely leaves reviews, (service has to be really good or really bad before I leave a review), I was compelled to leave one today. Was planning on spending here, had a friend drop me off, having left my mask in their car and seeing their store sign marked mask required, I politely ask if they have one to hand out or one for sale. Not only did the man cut me off mid sentence but he was sarcastic and judgemental.It is not for you (Beyond Comics) to dictate what an adult in this day and age should have with them at all times. If the store requires it then the store should provide it in some form or fashion.It seems to me someone has an excessive need to control, causing them to come accross as arrogant and unkind. Good luck with everything, youll need it.

The staff is amazing - fabulous knowledge, discussions, recommendations, and overall customer service. I will forever buy comics here ☺️

Super great selection and the guy with the glasses knew every answer to my questions!! The prices were good!! Definitely coming back!

Yes, theyre open! Limited to four people at a time and while browsing has always been a staple for comic shops, its currently limited for pick ups or no touching of merchandise for covid-19 compliance. That being said, this is absolutely the best comic shop in Montgomery County. They do shipping and subscription services and always have the best variant covers. Continue to support these guys, theyre great (:

Rude and I will not spend my money there no matter what. Unfriendly and will go elsewhere.

Beyond Comics is a great establishment for comic enthusiasts, collectors, and book lovers alike. I have purchased many comics here and have followed the recommendation of the employees. This Beyond Comics location is really the best compared to the Frederick location. What makes it amazing is the customer service. John Shine is knowledgeable, informative, and overall pleasant to interact with! Even though he wears his masks, you can tell he is greeting you with a smile!Even though I live in Frederick, I am willing to travel 30-40 minutes away to this location every time! Thank you John and all the other employees at Gaithersburg Beyond Comics for always making my visit here enjoyable! Keep up the amazing work!

They have a great selection of comics and toys. The sales associates are knowledgeable and always friendly.

I love this place its honestly the best place in my area to get quality gundams

I went back in time 30+ years when I walked in. I found some rare comic gems for $1. I will be going back next Saturday lol.

The gentleman there was super helpful and they have a huge selection of comics. I was able to find the next issue of a comic Ive been following for some time now, plus he was able to look up other works by the same artist and I ended up grabbing one of her other works. Theyve definitely made a returning customer out of me, I know Ill be back when the next issue is out!

Best place to get comic books for my 12 yeat old son when he bring in good notes from school little treat for him

Ive been going here for the past 3 or 4 years and I am always greeted kindly with my name. A 10% discount if you subscribe to the comics and a diverse selection! Really great stash of $1 comics in the back. Besides comics, there are figurines, D&D cards, and weekly D&D games (havent personally attended one myself). Beyond Comics is my standard for all comic book stores.

We just dropped by due to Free Comic book day. Location is a little off the beaten path. Would have been good if books are arranged age wise - maybe they have done do in some places there we didnt go. Will drop by some other day when crowd is leaner, explore further and maybe update rating.

Less of a selection as before but filled with current books and always a friendly staff. If you are into reading current books and trade paperbacks come here.

Friendly and not judgmental like some comic places. Great selection and really friendly staff.

Nice store, friendly staff.

Ive been collecting comics nearly all of my life and Ive been a satisfied customer of Beyond Comics for years! I cant imagine going anywhere else for my comics! :)

I went to this store and this store is AMAZING. Beyond comics is where i got my favorite action figure. Beyond amazing things and service.

Good selection of comics (their Frederick store has a good selection of comics and statues). Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Great stock. Super helpful. You can also have almost anything ordered for you. Great comic shop!

Nice little comic shop.... came in here for some top loaders I needed for cards I was selling on eBay and they had the best brand and their price was only about $0.45 above what amazon and Walmart had but staff was helpful and friendly and talked about cards I was selling and was just good experience even browsed around for a bit after bought what i came for even though I didn’t plan to just because was made to feel like an appreciated customer.... all 5 stars for this place

Great local shop. Owner and staff are friendly and helpful. They offer a subscription service to create a regular pull list of series or trades.Never miss an issue.

I come here for Friday Night Magic very often. What can I say? The place is great!The owner is great, the staff are awesome, everyone is friendly. Plus, its clean and everyone keeps it that way.They mainly sell comics but they have a good selection of games (card-based or otherwise) and accessories like dice, boxes, sleeves, etc.

This is a great location. The reps are very knowledgeable on the products and what is coming up.

Awesome and friendly place. Went there to take my daughter looking for comics for kids. They helped us pick the right ones she would like. Excellent experience, will come back.

This place is great simply for the people who work there. In reality, they do a terrible job stocking the racks. Not very current and terribly unorganized. They have a very limited, not very savory section with $1 comics and overpriced back issues. All that said, they are wonderful people there. Fun to talk to and educated about comics. Not looking to rip you off. Want to do the right thing. This is coming from a loyal patron of over 5 years.

They are a ridiculously glowing bunch of people. Love everyone of them! They take care of my subscriptions, carry a large variety of more than just comics, and I am proud to call B.C., my comic shop.

Ive shopped at Beyond for many years. They have a great selection of comics, trade paperbacks, an graphic novels, along with comic and sci-fi related toys, t-shirts, and collectables.The staff is the best! This store is the kind of place that makes an area special. Beyond Comics really does go above and beyond. Its a great place for the young and the young at heart!

Ive been going here for years now for all my comic book needs. They are very reliable with their subscription services and, as a result, Ive stemmed out from just reading Marvel comics to DC and IDW too. They may not be the biggest store ever but they certainly have what you need. The owner John is very nice. Thanks!

Cute little comic book shop! First time buyer. Guy at the register (owner?) was very nice.

Great, friendly staff. They take care of the merchandise and will help you find what you want. Its so nice to have a brick and mortar store in this area of this quality.

Really great comic book store. Friendly people and they have toys and lots more too.

What can I say other than I love comics and this place is a treasure trove. Staffed by aficionados, boasting an admirable selection of collectibles. LIFE SIZED HULK! Need I say more?

Great comic shop. Helpful owner, got me started on several great series I hadnt heard of before.

Its a quaint little shop the wall of comics a whole back row of trade paperbacks and some sodas its a fun place with nice people

I love this place! I was able to look around and find what I needed without feeling out of place. Its great.

Great store. Tyler and John are super nice and have helped me make some great choices for new comics.

The store is great, the customer service is wonderful, but ordering from them online was a horrible experience! For example I order a comic from them and was told four weeks after the fact that they didnt have it even though I was told by them they did but, was stuck in some warehouse of theirs...I even offer to come by and pick it up but they told me to wait cause they didnt have direct access to their warehouse! *sigh*Reason for my rant is because I could have gotten this comic from another vendor at the same price but trusted in them. Now I missed my chance and the comic is worth a lot more now. =(

Great selection. Staff is friendly and helpful. Will be doing my shopping there now

This store is what a comic book store should be. Theyre friendly and helpful on all levels. Whether you are a hardcore comic book enthusiast or just wanting a single issue theyll be there to help with any question or recommendations. They have a nice selection of back issues and trades to choose from and if you cant find it theyll do their best to get it.

This is my favorite comic shop in western MD. The staff are really friendly and the subscription service is wonderful.

Fantastic comic store! They also stock some tabletop games. They ordered a game for me for my husbands birthday. Extremely helpful, cool staff.

Great Store, friendly staff, excellent subscription service with 10% discount. If they dont have it they will try to get it for you! 10x better than Amazon.

Nice comic book store. Employees are eager to help

Great books just wish they had more books and more places to sit also a better way to get the books out of there shelf cause it is so hard to find the one you unless you take them all out and check each one indavizanaly

Ive been going to Beyond Comics for well over a decade now. Its a great comic book shop with a solid selection of comic books, toys, tradepaperbacks and collectibles, including a solid kids comic book section. Theyve also gotten some great folks into shop for signings and have regular gaming events that are well attended.

The Gaithersburg Beyond Comics is a great store. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they will do all they can to get you what you want. One time I forgot to put in a request for a particular issue, and the manager sold me his copy, just to make sure that I did not miss out.The store also carries a small but good selection of games and tabletop gaming materials, and runs Magic: The Gathering events and Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs. They also do a great job on Free Comic Book Day.If you are looking for comics and associated geeky stuff, Beyond Comics does not disappoint.

Fantastic local shop! Friendly faces that will not only remember their regulars, but learn what they like and make fantastic recommendations and predictions for new books.

Great selection of comics, great selection of toys and a very friendly/helpful staff.

Great selection of old and new . The most comprehensive collection of trades in the metro area with knowledgeable and friendly staff

Staff here is super friendly and helpful. Asked for suggestions that were child friendly and they were able to load me up with a selection that my son loves.

Good Little Shop. They have a good selection but they usually only have a few of them so if you go, it is easy to find your comic out of stock but they are very nice to order one for you

I love this place. Im broke so I dont go too often but awesome place with plenty of options

Smaller version of the Frederick store. Nice staff, easy to find collection.

Great selection and the staff is so friendly and helpful!

Very good selection and knowledgeable associates!

Awesome place! A treasure of a comic book store. Extremely friendly staff and very knowledgeable.

Newer Comics were jammed into the racks and many had to be maneuvered to take out. Back stock had no boards and half of them had no bags. Purchased 3 new books and 2 boards and bags. Each board/bag was 30 cents. What pissed me off was when I asked if I could get some tape to tape the bag shut I was told sorry the tape is for store use only. REALLY!

Better than the Frederick store in regards to customer service, and sometimes even new release availability despite being a much smaller store.

Friendly staff ! Found what i came for and more.

Just spent $20 at this shop and they wanted to charge me .05 for a bag when it was raining out. Last time I come to this store. The selection wasnt bad, store was nice, but to literally nickel and dime your customers is nonsense. 1st and last stop at this shop.

Cool comic/game store. Staff is friendly

Great customer service and very knowledge staff.

Always friendly staff and a great selection of comics, they often have events for people playing games in the store!

Good selection of both new and old comics!

Fun store. Books are not in the best condition so choose carefully

Nice place with a variety of comics.

Excellent, friendly staff. Great place to buy comics, and hang out.

Really helpful staff and a wide range of comics that cover several genres and tastes

It looks great it had a lot of comics and as a kid getting to comics it was a big help.

This shop is one of 3 but this on here in Gaithersburg is the most helpful of all and the most personal customer experience oriented the staff here are very kind, caring, and extremely well informed in there product and love the work as it shows in there commitment to your customer experience to be the best it can be without being pushy or nosey they make you feel like your at home with your super smart yet highly relatable comic book loving family member you love to be around as much as possible with each visit to the shop and I highly recommend you come in as close to 10 am on Wednesdays to pick up the newest releases of the week and if you cant make it then you can always call and ask to have the ones you want held for you for when you can make it in to buy them this is my weekly early morning stop on my Wednesdays the one day Ill get up as early as I can to make it in at 10 am and I am usually sleeping in at that time so that shows you how much of a fabulous place beyond comics gaithersberg shop is so if you can make it there I highly earge you to stop in and buy a comic or two its well worth the time and money to visit and tell them Matt Salazar sent ya if you do

Have a wide variety of collection. My son went here couple of times and really liked it.

Not a wide selection of Manga but staff is kind and helpful with recommendations.

Great for comic lovers and if you want to play Dungeons and Dragons

This place has an awesome selection of comics, from the big publishers to indies. Their staff is super nice and helpful and they hold awesome events (signing, free comic book day, ect). There prices are in line with the lower pricing you can find online, which makes shopping locally a no-brainer. They also have an awesome back-log of key issues. Since moving back to frederick this has been my main store.

Great selection of products and always a friendly and helpful staff.

Went in for some Pokemon cards and got in and out quick

Great place to get a wide range of comics

Beyond Comics provides for all of my comic needs. The staff is always helpful and willing to order anything that I have every requested.

Best comic store I have ever been. Staffs are friendly & satisfying customer service. Went there several times just to get some board games, card games, & etc for late night party games. But unfortunately they dont have enough Yugioh products since Im more of a Yugioh player then MTG player. I really wish they have Ultra Pro sleeves for people who plays Yugioh or other TCG that uses small sleeves & etc. They do have Yugioh product but little amount then I expected. But nonetheless its a great store.

Always friendly and a great selection of books

Only comic store still runs D&D games in the area. They have a good amount of comic selection and figures.

Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and prices were good!

Go there anytime I have the money and splurge a little. Overall, great store with great staff and its close to home.

Always love hanging with Tyler and John!

Great little comic shop.

Size. Staff is cool.

Great selection. Worst costumer service ever

Great customer service
