  Painted Visions Comics

  Great Shop

  “It does have a small back issue selection but they will also look for just about anything you want. The staff is knowledgeable and have good suggestions. Only down side is the dude who feels the need to mention he works as a bouncer in his other job every time you go in. Annoying.”

  Good Atmosphere

  “I pick up my comics twice amonth here and the staff is always up and friendly. Very helpful and knowledeable and directed me to some good reads. The only downside is a small back issue selection.”

  Painted Visions Comics

  It's not the size; it's what you do with it that counts!

  “Painted Visions is a BIG favorite with my family! Graphic novels & trades are more my thing, & I have yet to be disappointed by their selection. I've been turned on to some amazing, new stuff by them, too. If they don't have something, they'll do their utmost to find it. In fact, they took my list to a recent convention just to see if they could find the books I wanted (Success!). They also have a great selection for young children. The staff is wonderful; especially with my 7 yr old daughter. She's been going since she was four, & they always taken the time to chat with her. Their recommendations for all of us have been spot on, too. \nBesides comics, Painted Visions also sells cards, gaming items (dice, etc.), figurines, t-shirts, storage materials, even a few plushies! \nCheck this place out, People! \n”

  Game Parlor

  Overall Good Place

  “If you are looking for great prices this is not the store for you, as far as I know everything in the store is retail, often for items worth as much as 99% less. They have tons of play space but unless you buy something you must pay for it. On the flip side, they have almost every game you can think of, and a decent stock of it. I have never seen a store with a better stock. The staff are hit and miss when it comes to customer service, You will be ignored at times due to the number of customers vs staff. I have never had one be rude to me though. This is the store to go to if you wish to play.”

  A bit Iffy

  “This store keeps very low stock on anything other than comic books. Prices are only fair on a few things but they are great with Magic The gathering. The staff are often caught up in chats and drama and talk about each other to customers. This store gets far to personal from what I have seen. However they have free play space, plenty of tournaments, and usually someone to play with. The owner is very nice and nothing like the other staff. If you just want to make a quick buy or play a bit this place is great, for large buys and for monthly setups I advise you check elsewhere.”
