Coliseum of Comics Arlington — Attraction in Jacksonville

The curated back issue book's are a nice selection, but many have no board's, so they slump, potentially causing damage to the actual book's that do have board's and are of value, sometimes I get lucky, and find something that hasn't been damaged with a million spine ticks, the rest of the shop is fine, back wall book's are overpriced, but thats expected, they are in fairly high grade, could be the mylar playing tricks on the eye.

I don’t know what ties this guy has to the store but I’ve seen him make multiple other people uncomfortable too. As long as this place keeps this rude associate around, I’m never setting foot there again and will take my...

Coliseum of Comics is absolutely a negative to all game stores in a given area, whether they take over existing businesses or move in. The impact this chain has had in Florida cannot be understated, and in this niche business they are the Walmart of gaming stores without actually offering anything of value - stores with vibrant communities and events are replaced with walls of dusty funko pop figures and anime statues. Hours for the businesses they take over are slashed, change constantly, and no longer support gaming groups for cards, wargaming, or boardgamers.
