A hidden gem! The amount of anime merchandise is incredible. They have everything from figurines to magazines and even hard to find items that are no longer in production. Store owner and employees are very nice as well. Will definitely be coming back.

Be you a visitor, someone just getting into collecting or an expert, this shop has a massive selection, a beyond friendly staff, and an owner whos been open for 40 years so the man knows his stuff. Only started going there this March and now I go three times a week. Its an addiction and its fun. You wont be disappointed going here.

I was in the area for one night only and looking for something to read. When I entered the staff was friendly attentive and asked if there was anything thing I was looking for. I was not sure after being stunned by the massive selection. I will say that I dont know if the store was in its usual state. However, the place was messy with lots of product. After narrowing down some ideas I asked for help. The staff was excited to give me a multitude of options they thought I would love based off of my preferences. I walked out with 2 trade paperbacks that I devoured that night. The selections that were recommended were great! The place would be a 10/5 (because the selection is awesome and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly) if the place was organized as it would be easier for new guests to find what they were looking for. All in all a fantastic store.

Review №14

A bit messy but the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable on what they sell. Their prices for comics and manga are as expected but figure merchandise tend to be a bit higher priced due to assumably accounting for import costs. Overall theyre all still reasonable.

Review №15

This place does seem very crowded but the variety of comics, manga, figures etc. were very exceptional. The owner and his son are very knowledgeable about their work and it shows. Fair pricing if you compare them to other stores. But most aisles are only 1 per person so its a tight squeeze.

Ok so Im a total Otaco and SIFY nerd, Ive been to a lot of these kinds of places and most would be ok to disappointed reviews. This place I went in with a neutral out look of it entered and wow its got so much stuff (there is boxes of stuff that hasent or cant fit everywere looks messy but is great quolity) from categorys to variety in each category most notable categories being. Super hero comics/and more, anime/manga and more, SIFI-dude working had staretrack playing on his phone, playing cards (smallest categorie, dont do so idk the quality or related games). Thay got older items to the newest editions/volumes. Hope I get to go again!!!

This place is a treasure trove! They have a great mixture of new books and classic back issues. Im very glad I found this place! If youre looking for a shop with some serious inventory depth for a collector, this is a great place to start. The owner knows his stock and was able to take me right to the issues I needed.

This place is amazing! They have the best collection of manga and figurines Ive seen in Hampton Roads!

Review №22

There are some comic shops that are clinical and have everything in crisp boxes or displayed easily on spacious tables. And those places are fine. But Ill take the well-organized (if packed) chaos of a store like Trilogy every day. If youre looking for back issues, theres a very good chance youll find them here. If youre looking for figurines, manga, cool old toys, or geeky paraphanalia, this is the place to be. If youre in the market for newer issues, theres an entire wall dedicated to them. And, despite the appearances, every book I found was still in excellent condition. Theres a great deal of care in the clutter.Seriously, stop looking for comics and FIND THEM at Trilogy.

Review №23

This is a very well stocked and trusted source for comics, sci-fi and colectables. The shop has been at this location for almost 40 years. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The store was clean and inviting. This is a real comic store. If you dont know what that means you are not looking for a real shop. Excellent visit today.

Staff was helpful even though they were a bit overwhelmed preparing for a show.The store is much much bigger than when I last visited over 21 years ago so....that in itself is a sign of how much they have grown.

Review №26

The employees and owner were openly gloating on price gouging items in the store, with myself and a small number of other customer present. If you do not know the value of the item that you are attempting to purchase, do not shop here.Almost everything that was not MSRP was exorbitantly priced.yes, they have a pretty good variety in comics, collectibles and other merchandise available but if you are looking for reasonably priced nerd stuff...GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Very cool shop! Was on the hunt for Injustice comics which was not in store & was helped by a staff member who was friendly & knowledgeable to have it ordered. Picked up a collectible while in store. Definitely worth checking out!

Review №31

One of the few old-school comic book shops left in the area. Whether youre looking for new, mainstream comics or old, small press runs they have a huge selection. The staff will help from the moment you walk in or leave you to wander the shelves as you choose. They also have a large section of Manga, collectables of every stripe, and even some gaming and novels.

The best in Hampton Roads. I have lived here all my life (38 years old) and so many comic shops shut down after the 90s but before that they changed to become more about gaming and whatnot...TRILOGY REMAINED ABOUT THE COMICS FIRST AND FOREMOST and I will always respect them for that.

The store is crowded but has the largest new issue area Ive seen in this area. Was able to find lots of titles and books here that I couldnt get anywhere else. Also lots of variant covers if you care about that. The guy (maybe the owner) was really helpful and gave me a little discount for buying a bunch at once. Only looked at one area in the store because I was in a rush but there is so much to see Ill definitely be back!

Been going here for over 20 years for all my Comic needs. They treat you like family & I even brought my 8 year old here with me for her 1st comic store experience yesterday. Trilogy is at all the major Cons with authentic items at affordable pricing.

These guys are always great when I come in. Yeah, it’s cluttered, but it has that old school comic shop feel to it that I like. They always have Silver Age stuff coming in and the prices are right.

Review №52

Went hear looking for a new spot to get my comic book fix after moving from California and found a back issue heaven. Finding what you are looking for is a bit challenging due to the shear volume of product but thats a good problem in my opinion. The older gentlemen working the counter was helpful and knowledgeable this is my new back issue spot.

Review №58

This is an honest to goodness, old school comic shop! Walking into the place is like stepping back into the past. There are no neatly lined aisles or modern design, just tons of vintage and new comics, figures and toys from America and Japan. Do yourself a favor and step through the door! Youll feel like a kid all over again from what you discover in every nook and cranny!

Review №61

I havent visited a Comic book store in over 20 years and this Trilogy was the main store I used to shop at. They have comics GALORE!! The store is packed wall to wall and to the ceiling with comics, toys, posters, collectibles... Anything comic and fantasy related. Its a decent sized store and I believe they expanded since the last time I visited way back in 1999. The staff there were friendly and it was fairly easy to find what I was looking for although it can be a bit overwhelming when you first enter as they have so much content. The store has a vintage feel to it which makes the experience more personal and true to comic collectors in my opinion. I highly recommend checking this Trilogy out if youre in the area; youll definitely find something you like.

Review №62

I love this place and the staff! Aaron knows my taste and calls me anytime something cool comes in that he thinks I would like. They are great at introducing me to new stuff when I hit the end of a comic series and am in mourning. :( I love hanging out here and talking with everyone. They make me feel like one of the family. It is Nerd heaven!

Review №63

A unique comic store that had quite a bit of variety on everything fandom has to offer. I found back issues I hadnt been able to find anywhere else, the staff was incredibly friendly, and I really dig the store. I was able to attend during a sale which always helps, the prices were reasonable, and they worked to help me find things that I only had partial information on. Theres only one issue I had, there was so much stuff is hard to take it in and just a casual trip.

Br
Review №64

Nice little comic shop. Lot of modern and vintage comics/graphic novels. Needs some organization and clean up. They also have a modest amount of toys, but a large number selection of statues and things of that nature. Worth a check out if youre in the area.

A very authentic down to earth comic book store. If you are looking for the quintessential catch all kind of comic store this is it. They have a wonderfully large selection of older comics and manga and have a variety of other comic related goods. The card games are also plentiful and well organized. Just be careful not to get lost!!

First things first, this is no doubt one of the best comic book stores Ive ever been to in the time I have collected comics. I am a huge Punisher / The Walking Dead fan, and they helped me find all the issues I was looking for. It is like comic heaven, and I understand why some claim it is clustered, but if you were to ask them if they had the issue you were particularly looking for, they would show you where it was. The owner was one of the most helpful people Ive ever met, and so were all the staff. I will most certainly come here for my comics when I come to Virginia Beach.

Wow! What a mess! Looks like a Hoarders Convention. BUT! Nice guys who really know their comics and collectables. A little overpriced on some items (can do better at a convention) but they pretty much have it all. You just have to really, really dig for it.

Best place for those looking for a comic haven! This place has everything you could ask for from a comic store, plus it has figurines, toys, manga, and many other treasures. You will NOT believe the volume of stuff ready for you to discover! The people are awesome as well. This is the one place you have to go to, especially on Comic Book Day.

Review №83

The owner is a nice guy and very attentive to his customers needs but he is definitely NOT the best value in the area. I would go here if you couldnt find what you need at other shops, the prices at this place are ridiculous and I feel sorry for the people who buy the overpriced vintage issues from here.Go to Comic Kings, Joey is extremely fair priced and remembers each of his customers as they walk through the door. Heres an example of the customer service at Comic Kings, I brought in an issue to trade for store credit, he gave me the maximum credit and only sold it for $5 more than he bought it from me for. I will buy from no one else in the area.

Highly discriminating against women in attitude, demeanor, approach, sales potential. Prepared to spend great $$$ 4 grandchild. Left insulted. Arrogant son of owner will drive this place bankrupt. Predictable. Illegal & unethical activities in health & hygiene also. If need 2 buy n despair - fine- but risking medical factors —really necessary— go on line - please be safe!!

It is saddening to see what has become of this place. Used to go there every week for more than 10 years before moving away. Was able to stop in recently while in town on business. The clutter and Jerrys attitude are atrocious. Just sad at what happened to this place.

Review №94

The owner is nice, and its mind-boggling to think how they got their collection of 100s of 1000s of comics in order. The down-side is that they really could stand some spring cleaning, signs inside the shop to help you find your way around, and new shelves.Bottom line is that they do have a very, very good selection and Im glad I visited.

Review №95

Trilogy has been my preferred shop for years. Its one of the few Ive visited around the country that maintains that legacy comic shop vibe: youre immediately overwhelmed by fantasy, lore, and fandom which is what makes us stay a while. Its also been an excellent motivational tool Ive used on my kid since kindergarten 😂👌🏼 Im noticing theres a boutique theme hitting the comic shop scene which is cool and everything...but where are the back issues and extensive stock other than Funkos and vinyl/resin that you can get online Amazon Prime for 20_30% cheaper(?) Trilogy has all of this and so much more but hasnt fallen into this trend, its obvious its run by seasoned and passionate collectors, no way youll leave that place without at least one or two extra things you couldnt risk someone else getting instead lol. To be fair, its a few comic book shops in Hampton Roads that are really good and have that legacy air maintained by solid people, but Trilogy is just our preferred stop and hasnt given us a reason to go elsewhere when venturing out with the sole purpose of grabbing a few issues of whatever 💯

Do you long to peruse the archives of Nerdom? To venture into the unknown for a piece of comic treasure? To forage for obscure literature and plastic idols of hallowed characters?

Review №100

Im for it not for the comics and collectables, though they have a lot of both, (I think that those sorts of things are too expensive now a days...) but the used paperbacks! I havent seen a used book store in a long time, but they have a good amount of SF paperbacks from 60s thru 90s.Two downsides though:1. Too much crowded in. While I normally wouldnt knock a lot being on offer, every surface (& some floor) completely covered, no baskets or other place to put selections. Hardly room to walk... aisles are 1 customer wide!2. An even greater quantity of SF Novels were stacked in lids from display boxes alongside (& almost as high as) an entire counter., ... just looking through the top boxes I saw several I had growing up that I wanted for my kids, and havent found available online. They werent priced though, so the man there called the boss, & was told the owner hadnt looked through those yet, so they werent for sale... maybe Im being Louth, but Id say make maneuvering room & store incoming / not yet for sale stuff somewhere else
