I was very excited about the Walking Dead variant cover #163. I cancelled my subscription with my previous comic store since Image said we could ONLY get the cover from the comic store. Went into The Tenth Planet the same day Image comics made the announcement to go and order the comic from the comic store. The clerk assured me my variant would be here, as I told him it was the ONLY reason I was changing comic stores in the first place. Walked in today and no variant. Spoke with the owner who gave me an "Sorry, I cant help you" and "We dont put variants aside"
There was no apology, he was nonchalant, he didnt care that this was a special issue that I specifically came to HIS store for, he was so busy trying to get back to his board game that he dismissed my concern. There are no words to explain how livid I am about my very first experience with this store.
Then he told me those comics are ordered months in advance when I told him I would have ordered the entire lot just to get my cover. I find that amusing and somewhat comical since there were plenty of people still ordering comics from their comic book store two weeks ago.

Read moreHonestly I'm not a big fan of the store. In my two visits the staff was at the least not helpful and at the most rude.
When asking to buy singles it comes off like I'm annoying them. The employees knowledge of the product could be much improved as well.
When asking for specific cards they seemed confused as to what it was and where it would be. This is understandable as I don't expect them to know every card, however the distainful tone when trying to find them came off as admonishing.
I excused the first time this behavior occured as them just being busy but the second time I was the only one at the store during the middle of the day.
I am usually fairly leinent with my grading on here and like to give second chances but I no longer plan on going here as I expect to be treated in the above way no matter the circumstances here.
Overall I get the sense that this store caters to a small group of regulars and would prefer that everyone else buy something and get out as fast...

Okay, so my biggest gripe with game shops, (especially one that hold events), is that so many don't seem to be very welcoming or inclusive to newcomers. And a big issue is that so many places seem to be obviously run poorly and not at all like a business.
I don't feel like this is the case, AT ALL, here. While I've not yet participated in any of the events, I wouldn't hesitate, feeling confident I'd be welcomed (and I'm socially awkward af). Every time I've been in the shop, I've felt very welcome and comfortable. The employees have always been kind and helpful, never making me feel like the scrub noob I am. The culture here is positive and chill while maintaining a sense of professionalism; a...
