Comic World & Games — Attraction in Dubuque

I tried to start a pull in 2012, but was told that I needed to pull a minimum of seven comics. I only have three regular comics, plus the occasional addition. Instead of frequenting a fairly local shop, I drive +75 miles to Madison. Honestly, I'm fairly new to comics so I don't know if this is a common practice in stores, but it seems odd to turn away guaranteed sales.

A recent Yelp! reviewer noted there were new owners in 2016. I decided to give them another try. I setup my pull a few months back. On my first pickup they had to pull them from the general store shelf. Not a huge deal, perhaps some of the books had just come in. On my second pickup they didn’t have my comics set aside and some of them had sold out. The employee said that if you weren’t in each month they would sell the comics from the pulls, explaining that not doing so was “leaving money on the table”. Ironic because I immediately canceled my pull and left. I wanted to be there customer.

I just need a way to guarantee my pulls will be held. Honestly, I’d even be willing put down a deposit or prepay. I just want my three comics set aside for me. I don't think that's asking to much, but at minimum, call or email the person before selling comics from their pulls. Unfortunately, I’ll once again be driving the extra distance to Madison.

Responding due to a reply from the new owner in 2019. I have no idea why my review was bumped. Prior to this update I haven't edited anything since 2016. Sounds like the new owner is willing to actually hold comics. I may try them again, though the comics I was pulling were Walking Dead (finished), Outcast (6 issues left), and...

I am sorry, I don't want to come off wrong with this review but it is as honest as I can be. I love comic books I have spent my life collecting them I grew up with this store I followed it from location to location and from owner to owner. Todd is awesome I enjoy my time with him talking about comics or asking him to find me some issues.

However over the past several years my stops at comic world have been less frequent I now drive to Madison regularly to buy my comics. I have developed some serious issues with this store they don't offer comic collectables anymore there is no back stock for filler issues at all and the current comics are treated like an after thought they are thrown on the shelf creased and folded over no bags or boards on them the condition is an embarrassment.

I didn't see there local comic art for sale anymore they changed owners AGAIN..

This place is called comic world and games but that is not accurate at all it's all games here.

How can u call yourself a comicbook store if the comic lover comes in and he feels alienated and excluded. When that same comic book lover asks about an issue he is immediately brushed off to talk to the gamer who is asking about magic.

I will probably not come here to many more times and I will still drive to Madison and spend a grand a month on comics and collectables because there it is worth the trip it's worth the gas. The owner on that store knows my name and makes the shopping experience fun and interactive just by his passion for the products he...

Great place if you're really into Magic: The Gathering. They've got a wide selection of cards and have space to play along with well run MTG events. Staff was helpful and friendly, and although they'll sometimes be playing a game or something it isn't hard to get their attention. Store could be a little more organized, it just looks a bit cluttered. As far as comics and board games, their selection in somewhat underwhelming. They've got most new issues of popular comics properly displayed, but older issues are just in a few disorganized boxes. I was most disappointing in board game selection, as they didn't seem to have many of the popular modern board games I was looking for, especially very recent ones(Blood Rage, Star Realms, Terraforming Mars, etc), although it's possible these were just sold out. All in all, I'd suggest it wholeheartly if you're into MTG, Warhammer 40k, or Pokemon. Even if you aren't it's still worth checking out, as they do sell some neat hobby stuff that can't really be found anywhere...
