The Comic Book Shop, Spokane Valley — Attraction in Spokane Valley

I absolutely recommend this store 10/10. I had the very fortunate experience of being a customer and an employee of this great business when it first opened up. The owner made it his top priority to run this store with great customer service, knowledge and professionalism. I wouldn’t be where I am today professionally, if it was not for him and the manager Gabe. The amount of product that they have is so diverse that your chances of finding an item or card that you can’t find anywhere else is quite high. When I was opening up my own business, I needed some decor and knew exactly where to look. They had almost everything I needed! The current manager Vinny is the person I started working with when this store first opened. He has such an infectious personality where you can’t help but smile and laugh during your conversation with him. The Owner Craig is a very intelligent, caring and professional guy. Don’t let his height intimidate you, he is very welcoming and personable. When I was offered the job, I was going through a very personal and difficult change in my life. He was always understanding if I was having a rough day and would be a listening ear if I needed it. That may not apply to things that customers need but I believe it speaks to the type of person and store that this really is and for that I’m...

As a huge MTG player and collector, I have been to all the game stores in the area when I'm looking for a specific item. Typically if you can't find it at the comic book shop, you're probably not going to find it in any physical store around here. Christian is made of pure luck I believe because every time he picks a pack of cards for me I pull lucky chase cards out of it. The staff are all highly knowledgeable and the selection is the best around. They hold game nights for several of the most popular games. I play magic in a casual commander format there as many Fridays as I can. Buy a pack to enter and the winner in each pod gets another pack. Every one who plays gets to pick a random promo card from the box and I've pulled $40-50 cards out of it before. They also do special events like pre-release parties when new sets are coming out where everyone gets a pre-release kit and we build a 40 card deck out of it then hold a 3 round tournament while eating pizza and enjoying good company. It's casual prizing so everyone who joins the pre-release party gets 3 extra packs from the new set as well, plus they have something extra for the top winners. I always have a good time at the Comic Book Shop and I highly...

I visited this store recently and witnessed a terrible situation. A group of kids (12 to 13 yo) was purchasing some candy and soda as I was waiting to pay. After they left the store, the cashier was reading something from a $20 bill. That's when he realized that the bill was fake. He ran outside, and the kids were all shocked and confused. They returned the sodas and candy as the store manager started getting very upset. The store manager was speaking in a rude condescending manner to his cashier in front of all of us. It was shocking and embarrassing to see such poor leadership skills. The cashier was so confused and very stressed out. The kids left without their food or their fake bill. The manager told the kids to kick rocks and never come back. I then paid for my items. One of the persons behind me was paying with a $2 bill, and the cashier thought it was fake as well 🙄 that's when the manager raised his voice again in front of the entire store basically calling the cashier stupid for not knowing about the existence of 2$ bills. It's sad to see management lacking leadership skills and opportunities for training their staff. I hope they read this and think of...
