The store is well-organized and has a good-sized selection of comics, graphic novels, and games. The staff really knows their stuff and can guide you to almost any genre. Their second-hand comics section is impressive and varied. In my 35 years of buying comics and graphic novels, including my favorite stores in the Bay Area, Portland, and Seattle, this is my favorite store ever!

Ive lived in a few places in California and Pennsylvania, and Big Brother Comics is by far my favorite comic book store. They take wonderful care of all of their comics, and their clearance rack has some great finds. Instead of giving my business to Amazon, I am happy to give you such a wonderful business.

Been going here since I was a kid, they have moved a few times since when I started going, the same two or three guys have been working there for as long as I can remember which has always been nice, even though I’ve always wanted a job there. Amazing selection of wizards of the coast and games workshop items along with much much more.

Took my niece here because she wanted to start reading some Marvel comics. The store was very clean and organized and had a large supply of comics. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect starter comics. Will definitely be going back here again.

They have the magic card singles but they are overpriced by a lot. A 15 cent magic card will be 50 cents but they have it. Good selection at maximum price. Helpful staff but feel rushed to get out of the store.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I could tell they actually liked comics. Interaction was based on finding something appropriate, not just selling stuff.

Great shop and organized really for the graphic novel or anthology sets. Im looking for back issues and those were not easily/readily available. TONS of games and cards. If you are not hunting single issues, this is a great shop for novels, cards, and table games, for sure.

There is a huge selection of board games, trading card games, comics and figurines, I find it hard coming out of the shop spending less than $100 :D.The selection can sometimes be overwhelming, so if youre ever not certain what you are looking for or need help finding a specific game, just ask.The folks at big brother are great, all the guys have really great knowledge about their board game selection and what they dont know, they are willing to help find out.

Stopped taking cash or even credit cards after covid only 4th party apps which basically results in gouging. The owner Kenny told me himself that I had to use venmo or Apple pay or something like that when I said I dont have those products he age shamed me asked me if I knew how to use a smartphone which was really ridiculous because we were talking on Instagram which you can only do with the smartphone i reported it to the Boe so maybe thats why they stopped.

Review №43

This place is great pre-pandemic it was the best event store for magic the gathering and post-pandemic its still a great brick and mortor. The staff are super well knowledged in comics table top games and trading card games and theyre super friendly. If youre here for just their mtg review they use Card Kingdom pricing so dont complain when buying at a higher price because that means they buy from you at a high price for singles. P.S. You the man Kenny!!

Its wonderful to have a local game store that has it all! Comics, board games and collectible card games to name a few. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and will go out of their way to help you.I typically buy MTG singles, which you can have them pull ahead of time by emailing them your list or sending it via Facebook messenger, and they are always happy to help.Support this local gem, so when Covid is over, we can get back to the Gathering! 🤣♥️

I wandered into this spot to buy some comics for my son. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to comic books but I did have some knowledge as to what my son liked. I wanted to buy him something really nice as a gift and the staff helped me chose something in my budget and sure enough it was something my son loved. I never imagined how big this world was until I went to this store and saw the amazing history and enthusiasm from the people who worked there and we shopping. Thank you to the staff for helping me hit a home run on a great gift from my son.

My favorite card shop to go there. Fantastic staff, great selection. Ill miss them.

Its a good place to buy games and comics, but youll have to do some price checking/damage inspection on some of the singles. I went in there to see there Godzilla card. I bought two Doom Inevitable cards. One foil and one not. They only gave a price difference of one dollar. When the non foil was 13 and foil was around 17. I went back there today to see if they had a good price on a Dragonspeaker Shaman, and they had one priced for 5 bucks the lowest was 4. I dont know the quality of them, but see as how TCG has some for less then 4 buck at near mint. Its pretty safe to say get them online. All in all its a good place to hangout and play with friends... Well, after this is over. Their sealed products are priced fairly. Youll just have to be weary of their singles.

Quality store. Maybe not the best place to try and sell your collections, but they certainly carry a vide variety of games and comics that make great gifts for anyone interested in such things. They also host MTG nights. Worth a look! Friendly staff if treated with kindness.

Review №75

Came with a friend to peruse board games. They have a really good selection, but as a counter point they dont really have enough space so it feels kind of cramped and its hard to see some of the games. The pricing isnt bad, but it is a bit more expensive than ordering from Amazon (in the neighborhood of 5-10 percent).

Great place for comic books, collectibles, and table top card games and board games. They even have cozy rooms at the back for playing. I just snapped a pic of some toys from my childhood. Such nostalgia

Review №83

Great selection of comics and board games, even a range of old and newer video games. I went here to sell my old NES and collection of games but the owner needs to be there for that. If you plan to sell your old games to them, call ahead of time to make sure the appropriate staff are on hand to intake your items.

Review №84

Big brothers has an amazing selection of board games and tabletop games. They help support the growth of the greater community with a decent table space in the back for card games, board game nights, or for tabletop RPGs. The staff are up to the times in the sense that many other comic stores feel like they never left the 90s. A growing selection of manga and plenty of dice and sleeves to choose from. Their MTG collection is always cycling through and can always find what you need for a manageable price.

Review №85

Will go back again and hopefully be able to update-The selection is good and its large, and the prices are FANTASTIC! Only a couple dollars more than Amazon usually (at least on the board games) and you get the instant satisfaction, so thats great.Why only 3 stars? So, I get it was D&D game night, but we just felt like no one really cared about us being there. Whoever was running the register, wish I had gotten his name, really did not seem to care at all. In fact, one of the people playing D&D had to alert him that someone (me) was trying to make a purchase, and he just sorta grumbled and sauntered up to the counter, no humor, no smile, did the transaction, and walked back around to play on his phone some more. Sure, it was after 9, his shift would be over soon, but really? At least try to do your job. And I forgot my purchase at the counter, and when I ran back in he didnt even look up from his phone- same thing when we first entered. Shouldnt you greet customers as they enter the establishment?Anyway, Ill go back again and will hopefully be able to update this with a more positive review.

This shop rocks. Had a saver here for a bit now. Super friendly staff. Mostly new singles and TONS of trades. When I mentioned a game I was interested in, they ordered it without me even asking them to do so explicitly. Obviously I was pleasantly surprised to see when I came in and picked it up at a fair price.
