Jimmy Jams Comics Cards & Game — Local services in Winona

Jimmy Jams is just about the perfect jack-of-all-trades comics and games store. While it's a little shop and may not have the depth of a store focused on a specific topic, it has great offerings for just about every area of nerdy hobby.

--Comics: They have weekly floppies from the major comics publishers and a fantastic selection of trades and volumes. Their selection of volumes is better than any general hobby store I've seen - whoever curates their comics has great taste and you should definitely ask them for recommendations. Their manga section is a bit slim though.

--Cards: They carry the latest MTG and Pokemon sets, and have a very active trade-in business. Most of the traffic I saw coming into the store was for cards, and they seem to be knowledgeable and fair with their pricing.

--Board games: They have lots of board games with great organization by genre (adventure, horror, strategy, party, etc.). They have a lot of the popular games you'd be looking for, and a good selection of expansions. They also offer quite a few preview games if you want to try before you buy.

--Tabletop games: Plenty of DnD books, along with a smattering of figures and a decent selection of paints. You'll love it if you're a 5E player.

--Video games: A variety of games from the Gamecube/PS2 era up to PS4/Xbox1/Switch. Some older cartridge games in cases too. Their selection was actually really good - the shelves are definitely not just stuffed with shovelware like you often see.

--Movies: Several large racks of Blu-rays and DVDs. Tons of variety and EXTREMELY cheap.

--Figures: A very modest rack of funkos, plus a selection of large cape comic statues. So many of these stores have gigantic funko shelves, so I was very pleased that they keep it reigned in to just a small shelf in the back with the most popular characters.

--Event space: A nice little event space in the back with about 5 or 6 tables. Looks like you could fit about 20 people comfortably, more if you cram in. They post schedules for regular MTG events and I was told they're hosting ongoing DnD sessions in the future. I would definitely come to events here.

If you live in the Winona area or are just passing through, you should definitely make Jimmy Jams your destination for anything nerdy. I loved the store offerings, the staff, and the...

Really wide selection of games (board games, party games, and D&D type rpg) and so many comics it can be a little overwhelming if you have sensory issues. The staff all three times I've been is super nice, and I've always had a female cashier which is a big plus in making me more comfortable in the store. She's also very interested in getting to know the customers, almost always having a convo with somebody. It doesn't have everything I personally look for (Check Please and Fence are my big two) but they have just about everything else I've looked for (Snotgirl, Over the Garden Wall, Moonstruck) so I can't...

Interesting selection that caters to tcg players, mini painters, -some- comics and used media/game content. Tabletop games and board games were also fairly represented as well. While it was nice to see a vast amount of inventory I was extremely disappointed in the lack of service or acknowledgment by the staff. I stood at the counter for some time looking at dice with no greeting or offers of help. Conversation with other people about their decks and number of cards seemed to take priority over doing business. I was in the store for about 20 minutes browsing....
