Ive been going to this store for over 10 years and Ive never been disappointed. Today I went for trade paperbacks for my kids. I needed something for 11 year olds and a five year old. Several staff members helped me find just the right books. There was even a book for my 5 year old with no words, just the images told the story.I love this store and I love the staff there too!

A comics and games shop that has a dedicated place to play, with both private rooms for D&D and other games, and an open area for general play. Theres a lot of events the place runs, also. Thursday is boardgame night. They do not sell singles. They DO hold copies of comics for you. Ask about this service, its free.
Always a pleasure to shop there. Clean, well organized, and stock with great inventory.
This store has many items and is always willing to special order whatever I need. It is staffed by really helpful people like Elin and Will that make shopping here a joyful experience. I like it when it rains and the floor becomes lumpy too!
This has been my favorite store for comics, 40k, and games for 20 years!
Great find! They are expanding and have a cool selection of comics and miniatures
If you love D&D or manga. This place is for you. Its awesome.
Solid comic and collectible chain of stores in Houston area. Clean and well lit. Good selection.
Awesome staff and selection of Comics , Manga, collectibles,Warhammer, Gunpla, trading card games and more. One stop shop for all things nerd and geek. Also has rooms to rent for table top games and more
I called asking for something and kept looking even after hanging up. They found it and had it ready for me when I came to the store. They are super dog friendly!
Have been visiting these guys for a WHILE now! Every employee is awesome and will help you with anything you need with a smile! If you wanna nerd talk about comics and Manga, they got you. If you wanna shop in peace and just browse, they got you. They keep social media updated with all of the new product arrivals and run a great comic subscription service to make sure you get every comic your heart desires. During the not so pandemic-y times they run great Friday night magic and have amazing game rooms you can utilize for board games and more. Go give these guys a shot, you wont regret it!
This is my comic book store! Always will be. I’ve been a loyal patron for nearly 20 years (it went by a different name that far back). The staff is amazing! The prices are FAIR! The store is clean organized and I get everything I need through my subscription.That’s a plus, they know their customers, and they have been amazingly patient and strategic during the pandemic.I want to thank each and every one of you for what feels more like a partnership that a consumer/seller social contract.Highly recommended!
I just moved to this area and decided to pass by this place and it was cool at first until I got to the cashier, she was very annoyed because I asked her for some cards that are behind the counter. I was like okay no problem maybe shes having a bad day, but when I went to pay she legit didnt even say a word and only pointed to the machine to pay with my card like I was stupid. Very unfortunate because I really liked this place and was planning on getting some things for my gaming room.
Comics, anime, table top all in one store. Will definitely visit again whenever I’m in San Antonio.
The people were nice and they have an amazing variety of graphic novels.
When I first moved to San Antonio in 86 I found The Dungeon and when it went away I thought that no shop could ever capture its gestalt. Dragons Lair is a chain from Jastin but each store seems like its unique in its atmosphere and operation . The staff is what truly makes this place unique. They are so amazing, helpful, and friendly.One of the best things they do is offer a subscription service. Yes, you can get comics, but they are happy to add games as well. In addition, they are great at suggesting new titles and games mad adding it to your box with no obligation to buy it if you decide to pass.
Recently went to buy Pokemon cards. Spoke with someone over the phone to ensure the location had some and was informed yes as well as a limit which included 8 per person. Walked in with me and one other person and was only allowed to get 8 packs max, despite me going to this location a few days prior and purchasing 10 packs total equating 5 per person. Didnt want to be a Karen so i didnt say anything. So is it 8 per person or 8 per transaction? I can respect limits, i wasnt going to buy out the whole store however, for future clients i would explain if its actually 8 per person or 8 per transaction. Ive recommended my friends to this location, and would hate to have them disappointed due to this.
This is the best comic shop in San Antonio, hands down, no contest. The prices are great, the selections and inventory are awesome, their gaming rooms are super cool and best of all, the staff is friendly and welcoming of newcomers, which is extremely important to me. Plenty of other shops really make newcomers feel left out or unimportant or even inferior compared to regulars, but this shop has never done that to me, nor have I witnessed them do it to others. The employees here are understanding, helpful, and enthusiastic. They all really seem to love their job. Their positive attitudes really spread over to me and make me feel comfortable and welcome in their store. They hold great events as well, and the place in general just looks great. I only wish I lived closer to this location, then I would be going over every day. Making the trip over is always worth it, though. I’ll definitely be sure to stop by on Free Comic Book Day. Last year I came pretty late, but they still had plenty of good books to give out! My favorite shop ever. You guys are the best!
Excellent game selection. They have rooms available for gaming events although Ive never gotten around to attending one. Im not a comic book nerd but their comic selection seems decent. They keep a good stock of Funko Pop figures as well.The employees are always polite, kind, and generally knowledgeable. This is definitely the place to go if you want to support your local brick & mortar over Amazon, and many of the prices are comparable. If they dont have something youre looking for they can almost always order it for you.
This place is great. Their updated gaming annex is amazing. Nice, sturdy tables and comfortable chairs. I think they have the best gaming area in all of San Antonio.
I love the atmosphere here! Everyone is so kind and I honestly just love coming here.
Very good store for comics and tabletop games. The annex offers free demos as well as magic nights and board-game nights, and the store proper has fcfs private game rooms, ample role-playing and tabletop games, and even a limited selection of miniatures. The selection of comics is also superb, and theyre always offering great deals on older comics.The service leaves a little to be desired. Sometimes the employees are more than friendly and helpful, but a few only barely meet expectations. This only barely sullies the store though, overall its a great experience and I recommend it.
Nice little place for new comics. Not a huge backlog though so if youre looking for older issues look elsewhere. A bit light on the Collectibles but they have plenty of games and tabletop supplies
Great customer service. Love this place for Pokémon cards and other supplies. We appreciate the discount offered for military and first responders.Ask about game and tournament nights!
Great selection of games and comics. I was greeted upon entering and was shown exactly where the books I wanted to see were kept. Brightly lit and clean, a lovely place to shop.
Great place. So much to see, so many games. Staff is always super friendly and helpful.
I usually have a great time at Dragons Lair. Whether Im just browsing through the store, purchasing something, putting something on layaway, or a combination of all of the above I usually leave happy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They also give a 10% military discount for active duty, guard, reserves and veterans. Always a good place to visit.
Great selection and if they dont have it, theyll hunt it down and call you when they do! Big fan of them helping set up DnD groups as well.
Neat place, has game area, private rooms, and a good variety of merch. I was hoping to find some unique pops but their collection was lacking or some new d&d minis but the selection was small. MTG seems to be their main thing. If that is your hobby youll love this place.
Lots of cool stuff, from comic books to Board games and card gaming.
A lot of stuff to look through, really friendly environment. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. This place will always have my business
Always have a small but varied and great selection of paper comics, graphic novels, manga, board games, etc. it’s always my choice of stop when I’m in the medical center area. Employees are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and are always eager to help you with your nerdy needs. I had a few questions about a specific comic series I had been hunting down and they were able to help me find what I was looking for.
Good selection, I was very pleased with my pre-order experience and will be returning for my items soon. Good customer service, staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean.
The customer service here is genuine and great. Their knowledge of both the Marvel and DC Universes is extensive and precise. Fantastic product selection and large gaming area. Operating hours are also a huge plus! A little known fact that only I am privy to is that there is a 99 percent chance that comic books and the art of gaming were invented at this Dragons Lair location(circa 1300 AD). 😀
Excellent selection of comics and books! Also houses a wonderful warhammer 40k community that actively welcomes and helps newcomers (like me). Was able to actively talk shop with the person who worked the register and he seemed to be engaged in the stuff I talked about to him (or just pretended very well. Either way, fantastic job!)
The shop owners are super sweet and fun to talk to. I couldnt quite process my thoughts one day, and the gentleman, with the darker hair, was very kind and patient with me. 10/10 recommend this place for comics, figures, DnD gear, manga and other pop culture items.
Every time me and my partner come here theyre always super friendly and ready to help. Its always easy to talk to them and theyre always very patient. Clean, orderly, and willing to order in books they may not carry. Very tempted to rent a room to play some D&D sometime!
Amazing selection of Anime products, comics, and more.
I enjoy coming here a lot! All kinds of games comics and card games to boot! Staff have been friendly at the point of saying hello when walking through the door to helping out with whatever my needs may be. Its always been a pleasurable experience when I visited.
Love this shop! Mostly go in for comics and graphic novels. Have an excellent selection with current comic issues. Dont have back issues, but I go for my weekly issues so it suits me well. Have a great selection of graphic novels as well. Can find what Im looking for pretty easily. The staff has always been very friendly to me and are helpful when I do have questions. My favorite out of the shops Ive been to since moving here. Recommended very highly.
Love this place great selection of all comics and anime collection. We go for dnd sessions always nice and good selection for helpful guides and figures. Always gotta check out the dice selections always got new sets coming in and dont last long either. Get the cool ones while you can.
Great selection of comics and great figurines to just look at if its your thing. They were very helpful in my visit and will definitely go again if Im in the area. Thanks Dragons Lair!
DND weekly meet ups are back! They have super cute squishables! Giant Die Gundam toys Godzilla home carpets staff is nice and ready to help!
Great store, amazing staff. I have been coming here for years... They have excellent distribution and if you really want something they dont have - they will order it for you and promise you get it or your money back. I ordered something once and they tried to get Diamond to send it, and Diamond ran out. They gave me an immediate refund back on my card after a phone call. I didnt even have to go down there in person that day when it was raining. They have some knowledgeable people when it comes to 40k, D&D, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Shadowrun, etc. Some really good inventory in here for your comics! Excellent prices too. You are better off coming in here and buying it than going online - a rarity in retail of any kind. Alot of this stuff goes for way too much on the web, might as well support someone who keeps this kind of dream alive.
My favorite comic shop in all of San Antonio. Huge selection of comics, games, Warhammer, D&D, clothes, Pops, stuffed animals, graphic novels, and more. They only hire knowledgeable and friendly staff that are willing to help customers. There are now two locations in the city. This particular location has an amazing side gaming room along with the original gaming rooms. These are open to reservations. I cant recommend this shop enough.
Great spot for table top gaming and new comics. These guys have all the new issues of your favorites as well as comic and collectible card game supplies.
Awesome place to go, especially for dice. Great staff
Found out about store with release of Digimon TCG and was really excited to visit and to start playing the new game. Was incredibly disappointed come release day when the game was only being sold in boxes and on top of that for nearly double MSRP. This was extra disappointing given the fact I had spoken prior to one of the store reps who mentioned packs would be sold and at MSRP if not slightly above. Nothing about nearly double, nothing about only selling boxes. When I changed my mind given the markup the cashier felt the need to tell me the boxes would sell out soon regardless.Particularly for the parents I saw trying to do something fun for their kids by buying, watch out, dont let local game stores take advantage of you or your children. Dont let them try and convince or scare you into paying such a high markup. I understand it was a challenging release, but im really curious as to how such a high markup was warranted, and I will be taking my business elsewhere.
Best place to buy board games, comics, and trading cards. The staff here is very helpful, and if they dont have the item youre looking for in stock, theyre order it for you and call you to let you know its ready to pick up. Good people who are passionate about gaming work here, so I am happy to spend my money with them whenever I can.
Love this place! My favorite destination for Free Comic Book Day and all my game needs. They have everything you need, and if not - theyll order it for you. Fair warning: its way too easy to spend a lot of money here.
Great shop. The staff and friendly, and they have a ton of stuff. They stock everything from board games, to games workshop, American Comic books, to Japanese Manga, and walls of pop figures, if youre into that. They offer one of the largest play spaces in town for games, but sadly fo me (and happily, great for them) theyre almost always packed, so its hard for me to drop in for a pickup game with friends. Full disclosure I have been a long term customer of Dragons Lair going back close to 30 years at this point though theyve changed names a couple of times and location once.
Good rpg and wargame sections. Decent card and board game selections, though I kept finding expansions for games that they didnt have the base game for, which prevented me from being able to buy them. Prices were a little higher than other places but that didnt stop me from making purchases and supporting local businesses.
Always friendly, helpful and amazing staff. At Dragons Lair everyone is always welcome to share their passion and numerous interests in the world of geek culture. Incredible selection of everything from tabletop games to trading card games, comics, manga and many pop culture merchandise.
One of the best table top game stores Ive been to, super clean and even has a good comic selection
Most excellent customer serviceBob was very informative...Thanks Bob.
Very Clean and organized store. Nice independent title selection for comics and friendly informative employees. Might be transferring my sub soon. Will definitely be back!
Great comic book shop, with a nice selection of board games and manga as well. Super kind and helpful staff. Always a fun place to stop and enjoy.
Nice shop with a good selection of several different hobbies. Comics, role playing games, manga, collectors items. They also have several rooms where hobbyist can hold meetings/games. Friendly and helpful staff.
Not a huge selection of items but what they do have is super cool! The staff are also very kind and knowledgeable.
Not a comic book reader, but this place has a great selection of games, including tabletop, card, and board. The staff is polite and helpful.There are a few private rooms you can reserve as well as an open annex for gaming. WiFi is free and there is a public restroom. To top it all off, theyre next door to a bar.
They have a ton of board games, a ton of comics, and even some d&d stuff. Pretty much as advertised. I think they also have rooms where people play games if youre into that.Probably the best thing about coming here is the table where everything is half off. It lets you buy a bunch of stuff without having the guilt of spending $150 on warhammer books.Overall clean place, friendly employees, and cool stuff for the average tabletop player/comic book reader. Oh and they sell 10 billion types of funkopops.
Compared to many other table top stores, Dragons Lair is a very welcoming place to be with a great mix of NEW comics, games, and collectibles. The people here are friendly and theres no such thing as an outsider, which is reassuring for people trying to get into the modern geek scene. I mostly come to play Magic the Gathering on Fridays, but if I ever needed to pick up a manga series or a graphic novel I can easily get it here or have them ship one in. I emphasise that the store feels very now, they dont have hoards of old comics for life long collectors nor unopened sets of War Hammer figures from 1990. I prefer it this way because its really difficult to find some place who cares enough about the medium to stay up to date other than sticking with the old and nostalgic. The freshness of the store shows and I wouldnt want to game anywhere else.
I absolutely love Dragons Lair, they have friendly staff, the atmosphere is so fun and relaxing, they have a lot of variety with comics, pop culture and games. I also love that they have events here where you can meet artists and get free comics and play games. The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to help.
Best place for games and comics in san antonio.
The food shaped plushies are so cute. Great selection of games and I like how they are organized by number of players. Grabbing an el Paraiso bar is a nice snack treat.
The guys and gals at Dragons Lair are always pretty cool when I run in there with a question, or to pick up my comics. Theyve been doing a great job keeping up with all my subscription pulls, which is more than I can say for other comic shops in the area. Theyve got a great selection of games and hobby materials, comics, manga, toys, and even fun quirky candy. Happy to be a loyal customer.
When I went into this store, the staff completely ignored me. When I asked about certain Dragons I was interested in purchasing, the person behind the counter acted as if it was too much bother to help out. Thankfully, a young woman that worked there came over and tried to assist me. But at that point I was too disillusioned with the attitude of the other staff member.The store appears to have a good supply of items and potentially could be a great place to visit. From the other reviews I have read, I am hopeful that the experience with the staff person was an anomaly. I will stop in again sometime in the future to see if it is any better. (people do have bad days)
Decent service with a great selection of tcgs, board games, comics and various other stuff.Only thing I did not like were the amount they charge for booster boxes.Far cheaper online or at other local hobby shops.Wanted dragonball super box for $110....when they range from $30 to $70 for a box online (unopened with 2 promos) and $80-90 at competitors.
Awesome place for cards games and anything anime. I would definitely recommend checking this place out very kid friendly and a great atmosphere.
Went here knowing very little about the figurines I wanted to start getting into. Mark was super helpful and patient to answer all of my questions and help me on my journey to picking out my first set. They had a great selection not only of figurines but manga as well. Great store!
This is a really good local game store but you can go to and get basically anything you need provided its something thats not 40K. You might be wondering why I am specifically mentioned in this and that is because their 40K selection is extremely poor compared to the rest of their games which have extremely good selections.If youre looking to buy basically anything tabletop related are card game that isnt 40K this is a great store to go to. Whats even more surprising is the fact that they have basically every form of Citadel paint in stock yet not the figures in which to use said paint with.
Great selection, helpful staff, and decent prices. They also have a huge game room and smaller private game rooms you can reserve. I can’t really rate those though, because my DnD group sucks.
I love coming to this location for my nerd needs. Their layaway option is super helpful with large or expensive purchases.
A little of everything for nerdy type games. Great selection of Funko Pops, Board Games, Dice sets, and Comics.Their selection of D&D 5e and Pathfinder is probably the best youll find in the area.Alot of things to do here whether its Tournaments or Gaming tables.They always have a welcoming environment without being too pushy.
Great selection of items. Good price, everyone there is very helpful and nice. Brought my nephew who found his birthday gift here, even he had a great time looking at all the merchandise. Will definitely be back again.
Ive never felt so disrespected as a frontline worker until today. I went in to go buy some Pokémon booster packs. As she scans the packs, I take out my ID Badge to show her Im a frontline worker. She looks at the badge and looks confused. I mention to her that I was a frontline worker. Her response was are you EMS?. I told her no, and that I administer the COVID-19 tests to the public. She responds with well, this is ONLY for first responders and frontline workers. I ended up not buying the booster packs because of the way she addressed me as not a frontline worker. I have never felt so disrespected for what I do for the community of San Antonio; overcoming this pandemic. I will never shop here again after this experience.
Probably one of the best, if not *the* best gaming shop in town. Theyve got a full selection of games, comics, and other geeky collectables to cover anyones interests. And more importantly, the place is clean, doesnt smell, and the stores staff dont give off a total creeper vibe like many of the other hobby shops around town. I love Dragons Lair. I just wish it was as big as the one in Austin.
Love coming here at least once a month. They have games, comics, manga, tabletop RPGs, pops, and plushies. Staff is always very helpful and easy to approach, feels very personal. Highly recommend if youre in the area :)
Loved this place.. I am from Mexico and I looked for this place for dnd supplies and here you can find more than you can expect! They have everything and more ! Recommended for everyone that enjoys playing table top games, comics and collectibles!
Great set-up. Plenty of room between stock, so you can see everything especially on lower shelves. Helpful staff. There to help if needed but not pushy. Good selection.
Helpful staff and a clean, bright, organized shop. Havent attended any events here due to the pandemic, but Im really looking forward to when they can host FNM again.
Awesome staff, went utterly and completely out of their way to help. Offered to print list of related issues to get me up to speed. Courteous and helpful. Store is well organized and intelligently laid out for browsing and finding what youre after. Would invest.
Awesome place for all your board game needs, reasonable prices on a lot of their stock and they have a good variety of stock. They offer way more than just yu-gi-oh cards and D&D books 👍
Really like the atmosphere at Dragons Lair. The shops always clean and well-organized, the staffs friendly and knowledgeable about the products they sell and the culture of their demographic. Ive never taken part in any of the games played there on site, but the area for it looks as clean and well-organized as the rest of the place.They carry a wide variety of tabletop games, cards for trade/battle games, comic books and related merchandise, some anime merchandise and model-building supplies, plushes and snacks, a nice variety of Funko Pop figures thats kept up to date with new releases, a surprisingly good selection of manga. Their prices are reasonable in general, and you can get really good deals when they have clearance sales.I stop in at Dragons Lair whenever Im in the area, and will continue to be a customer.
Its a great place to buy comic books, board games, manga, etc. The atmosphere is welcoming and the workers are friendly. Highly recommend you support this business.
Great place to look at board games and role playing games. They have a large selection and helpful staff. As well, they have space to play the games you buy. If you go, you will spend some money, but what a great way to spend money - on fun and camaraderie.
A staple of any San Antonio trip the helpful friendly staff is perfect. Get your gaming and hobby supplies here. Great deals on pops manga comics d20 and more, sit in for a game or use a room and play your table top heart out.
Love this shop. New Comics every Wednesday. They carry Pibb Extra! soft drink. Staff are knowledgeable about their stock and can help with gaming needs from beginners to expert levels.
Micheal was a breath of fresh air! This is my go to gaming store, every time Im in San Antonio!
Possibly the best comic and gaming emporium in San Antonio.CARDS: They got em, but no singles.MINIS: A fine selection of manufacturers.GAMES: Excellent selection.COMICS: Again, excellent. Back issues, not so much.They DO tend to purge the stuff that doesnt sell, so dont expect to find much that isnt currently in print... but otherwise, they have the selection, the staff is a fine bunch, very personable and helpful, even if youre one of those types who wants to sit there and yammer about which captain was better, Kirk or Picard. Id recommend it to anyone into comics and games.
Always stop in when I’m in San Antonio. Great staff. Friendly atmosphere. Love all the gaming supplies. The comics and graphic novels are always in good shape and easy to locate.
Great selection of new comics, but only new comics. No back issues. I like shopping here because if I am behind a few issues of new comics, they usually have a copy or will order one for me. Other comic stores, Heroes and Fantasies, starts charging you an extra dollar after 2 weeks of release.
Best mainstream comic shop in town. Been coming here for a decade, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Comics, model kits, miniature paints and more.
Awesome place to set up a pull list. The staff is extremely helpful and will recommend you books based on your interests but it never feels like they are forcing you to buy anything. Get your comics here if you live in San Antonio!
One of my favorite gaming and miniatures store. Manga too. Gaming rooms are available if you need a place to play.
Awesome selection, including snacks. Super amazing staff. Definitely family oriented place.
Great staff, fair prices. Ive been going to this game store for the past three years for MTG tournaments, and its been a very welcoming shop. I cant recommend it enough!!
Best gaming store in San Antonio and thats no lie. Love the staff and the prompt service. Staff is genuine and honest with you. Selections are varied so alot of of interesting things to pick and choose. And the gaming setup is top notch with a separate room for magic and war hammer so the two dont bother each other. And the prices are definitely the lowest and best Ive seen in the city which always makes me buy from there versus anywhere else. Only bad thing is that its a little further away, grr!
One of the few stores in San Antonio with TTRPG materials and the best selection in my opinion. Theyve also got board games, manga, comics, figured and more. This is always my #1 destination if I need to buy any of the above or if Im just in the area and want to browse.
Dragons lair employees have always been kind and courteous while I was there, whether that was to just look around, play one of the various games they host, or buying comics. I dont think I could give them a negative review because Ive never had a negative experience there.
Looking for comics, they didnt stock many (if any) back issues, upcharged a few too. I found better prices on ebay. The staff was very friendly and helpful though, and there was a fairly large selection.
Been a neighborhood FLGS for years, but recently, as a consumer, it really feels like this store has oriented itself to being ‘the store.’ Another competitor has popped up in San Antonio, and it forced them to raise their game. Kudos to the store managers who saw this possibly take this down a bad road, and adjust the store to properly confront the situation. Best of wishes, and it’s good to have you another year!
Very clean and organized. There is a beginner-reading section and its rather diverse and affordable. They have a game room next door for people to get together and play.
Although some card packs are expensive, they’re prices reasonably well, and the staff there are really nice. Definitely a place to find all your nerdy needs
Great game store. I always visit here after PAX South. Their selection is good, staff is helpful and their next door game room is a great place to try out your new games.
A great place to go for your R.P.G. Gaming needs and also tournament plays or the great selection of all sorts of comics or very unique figurines, and the staff is amazing and wonderful and always happy to help.
This is the Cheers of Adventurers League players, and I have never regretted a single visit. Always great assistance, great knowledge, great supply. I cant wait for another year of Dragons Lair adventures when D&Ds new season comes out!
The staff has always been friendly over the 20 years Ive been visiting San Antonio. There have been many changes with the store but the employees are still as profesional as the first day I walked in.
Friendly and helpful staff. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. The staff offered to help me and they were very knowledgeable. The prices were fair compared to prices I was looking at on amazon and eBay. I will definitely pay them another visit.
This place is need paradise. Not a single person Ive met that works here or plays here has ever been rude or judgemental. They have lots of TokiDoki and the Manga selection is pretty decent. FANTASTIC game selection. EVERYONE here is more than happy to answer any questions or find out for you if they dont know.
Our fave local game store! Knowledgeable, friendly staff happy to make recommendations for board and tabletop gaming.
Its a quaint comic book store that has something for everyone. They sell a variety of comics, board games, trading card games, etc. Also they have multiple rooms for you to play games such as magic the gathering or Warhammer!
A calm, relaxed atmosphere where the staff is ready, knowledgeable, and approachable but not invasive. Game rooms are available, a larger room adjacent, and youre free to browse as you feel.
It was a little disappointed in lack of stuff available lot of empty shells not very many comics didnt see any figures in glass like most places
I am always greeted with a smile and employees always looking to help. I was there the other day just browsing and the employees were more then happy to answer questions about various games I was thinking about. They even helped me find a Spanish version of The Walking Dead. I highly recommend this place.
I came looking for some anime figures, they didnt have too much, but the place is really nice, lot of comics, mangas and more. And despite they had not much figures I got a cute nendroid with 50% off, and there was another cute figure but the box was too big so I wouldnt be able to take it with me back to Mexico (-3-).
Great comic shop. They carry some top notch graphic novels. Digging the department of truth atm
Been going there since I was in my late 20s and I made some friends and now I have friends to play table top games.But I dont want to say any names of of there. I was accused for trying to an employee iPhone really? 1) first thing with me I hate all Apple products and so on. 2) I dont remember so something meaningful things to an female employee and if I do apologize for saying something meaningful towards you. This is way I keep to myself when I go out with anyone
Wandered around for 45 minutes or more after a doc appt to avoid rush hour traffic. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Found lots of stuff to put on my wishlist including a big squishables Cerberus. Bought some dice, got some free comics. Went home muchly entertained.
I drive 20 minuets one way every week to play dungeons and dragons here are there other places i could go yes i like this option the best the store is well stocked the staff friendly and the bathrooms are clean
This is a great store. Large variety of games, comics, books, and nerd stuff. They even have rooms you can reserve to play. Staff was polite and educated.
My favorite comic shop! I come here at least 2-3 times a month. The people that work here have always been friendly and more than happy to assist!
Best place for comics and collectibles. Friendly service and they always for that extra mile for their customers.
Hanna is always a big help! Enjoy playing MTG and buying D&D pieces. Wish i lived closer for more visits!
I go here regularly, the staff is always amazing and the selection is usually right on point for the size of the store. Great space for gaming as well!
Lots of x wing and armada here for the star wars gamers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Space to game. A great addition to the San Antonio gaming community.
Great assortment of board games, role-play games and accessories, comics and collectibles. Awesome service. Great place to test out new games. Will definitely return.
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of comic books, games, collectables, miniatures, and accessories.
The only comic store Ive been to, but the selection was nice and the staff were friendly. My 3rd visit was on Free Comic Book Day and I enjoyed going there with my brother and sister.
Great staff and service. Product selection suffers a bit from trying to serve too many different types of hobbyists, but that only affects customers that focus deeply on one, like myself.
This comic book store has probably the biggest selection Ive seen so far in San Antonio. So many different types of comics to choose from.. board games, Pops, figurines much more to look at!
Reliable and alwasy on the go to make sure you are able to find what you want. If they dont have the comic or product you are looking for they will try and order for you on the spot. Torunaments are also on the go its hard to keep up since there is always something going on.
Absolutely love this place. I could easily spend a fortune here though so, I have to be careful.Constantly have new game demos, and tournaments going on. Great place! Must see for any table top game lover.
A great selection of comics, games, and dice. Events for D&D and Magic the Gathering weekly. A great atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff.
Friendly staff and a huge selection. If they dont have what you want, ask them to see if they can order it for you. They also offer gaming rooms and tables.
Im not a huge comic fan but this seems like a wonderland for those who are. Its organized very neatly and we were able to find a wonderful gift for our anime friends
Did my first magic draft there and it was a lot of fun. Hannah was SUPER helpful with answering questions and laying things out for me. Chill atmosphere
Shop is very organized and alright for games and collectibles, there wasn’t a very good selection on the comic side in my opinion, they seemed to have mostly new age comics and items that you could find at Barnes and Noble, with a little more expansion on the comic side this could easily be a 5/5, the employees were also very attentive.
They have a Commander league on Thursdays, and its a blast. The people are great and the store is clean and staffed by friendly people. All around, great store.
Great staff and selection. Not too many back orders but tell staff what you want and they’ll try to help you out!!
Been coming here since it was called Excalibur all those years ago when I first moved to town. Friendly staff, easy browsing and shopping experience.
Can always find what you need from comic books to roll playing games and everything in between. Great service and they are always willing to help find what you are looking for with out judgment.
The best comic and game store in town. The store is very nice and well organized and the crew knows their inventory and they provide AMAZING customer service!
Best friendly local game store in San Antonio. Huge gamespace; friendly staff. Prices are full retail, but selection is terrific.
Thursday night commander is super fun! Great place for your card or comic needs!
Not the place to shop if you are new to tabletop gaming. I was treated like a child after asking where they had the sets of starter dice.They had plenty of merchandise though, so if you are looking for something card/comic/tabletop related they probably have it. Just dont expect a friendly atmosphere.
Friendly staff. Lot of gaming stuff. Only new issue comics
Well run tournament, great store. Definitely go back to play again.
Cool place for comics and tabletop games they also had our needed cards to complete CAH. Which apparently is hard to find in town
A little pricey on something but thats just how it has to be sometimes, pretty extensive selection however especially in regards to dnd equipment!
Great variety and friendly staff!
I called in about something to see if they had in stock and they said yes then I drove about 45min to get there and then they said they didn’t have it in stock after all very poor customer service can’t even go check to see if they have it in stock .
It was great! My first time there in years, but Ill definitely be going back soon!
If you are into comic books, games, and the such. This is a nice place to visit. Staff is very friendly as well.
Best place for Comics! Been going here for over a decade! The manager Bob runs the place very well.
I like it a lot here, the game selection is always fun and they have excellent staff who are just as passionate as their clientele
Didnt get offered a bag with my comic and it wasnt handed to me. I know that is small but customer service matters
Went in to waste time with the wife... as always love going here huge selection of comics, board games, cards, minis, and much more go check it out for yourself.
Mainly dnd style games but has manga/Gundam/ and collectables.
They do what they can to answer and serve every customer one employee explained fully why certain manga and comics werent requestable in full detail those kind of lengths is amazing
Charging $140 plus tax for a booster box of MTG. Im all for supporting local game stores, but this is outrageous. Go to another store or online to get a fair deal.
First time going in and had a real blast! Selection of merch was great and friendly service. Will shop again reallly soon!
Was greeted as soon as we entered and asked right away if there was anything in particular we were looking for. They showed us right away and have great prices on their products.
This place is the best. Ive gone here regularly during the years I was living in San Antonio and every member of the staff is great and the events have been fun. Its an exceptional place.
Really cool! Employees werent very nice but the store was cool
Great games and excellent atmosphere. The staff is always nice and they recent changed their layout, it looks great!
Helpful and cheery staff really makes this the place for all your dice and game needs. :)
Friendly service and lots of fun stuff. I have to be careful there I want to buy everything!
Always a great place even if only to peruse! Everyone is helpful and they can Carter to your every gaming need!
I have never had an issue with anything, unless its a comic book issue. Nailed it. Ill be here all night. But seriously, best comic store in SA
Nice little store, friendly staff. As seen in picture Vallejo paint is stripped clean, sadly Ive never seen it stocked.
Mostly everyone is nice, I only had an issue with one person one time that they seemed pretty rude but that was an isolated incident and I let it slide since I have been coming here for years and never had any issue before.
Great game store, lots of selection, awesome staff, and the game rooms are very nice. I recommend this store.
Fun staff, great selection, and very convenient layout. Ive loves this place since the late 90s!
Nice place, great selection, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Great job!

2021-12-30Super clean and organized! Havent been here in 2 years and they have made lots of upgrades! They took a wall down so its very open space. Got lots of Warhammer, magic the gathering, and manga. They got a nice big fridge for drinks. All the workers are friendly and the whole place has nice welcoming vibes. 10/10 would come here again and again and again

2021-09-05I hadnt been to this Dragons Lair location in a few years, so l was surprised recently by how much bigger the location has gotten and how much more variety of merchandise they are carrying. Everyone who worked here was super kind and helpful. They carry pretty much all the nerd stuff you could want from plushies & figures to Asian snacks to all kinds of books & manga and everything in-between. There is stuff for role playing (such as D&D), anime merch, card collectors, Pop vinyl collectors, comic book collectors, and more. My husband and l spent way much more than we intended. We were both impressed by not only the selection but the layout of the store and how clean the place appeared.

2022-09-08While originally I went in to look at their miniatures, I ultimately found myself browsing the whole store. With an easy to navigate layout and great selection, its not hard to see why they were so busy. But even with the amount of people there, I never felt over crowded. Their employees were nice and helpful if we had any questions. I will definitely be coming back soon!

2022-07-13Would not recommend this place for Adventure League. it used to be great. But since the lock down it has been failing hard. The current people running play favorites, and bully people they dont like. They allowed brand new adventure players to make high level tier 3 characters for their paid epic without those players ever playing in any adventure League before. They will then turn around and hassle and bully other players for minor errors or minor log issues. They enforce rules when it is convenient for them. The new organizers (1 of the 3 is ok, Dusty shes fine) also ran a mod that was not Adventure League legal, gave out the magic items only to then MONTHS later telling certain people they cannot use that item anymore. Me and my wife will never go to this store again for anything. There are amazing stores that could use our money better, like court of gamers, or knights watch. I would avoid this place if you want to play adventure League, until they figure out what they are doing.

2022-05-14They have a good variety of comic books and manga. They also have gaming rooms, as well as lots of tables and chairs in a big open room for games. Tons to see, and the gentleman who helped us was friendly and knowledgeable.

2022-08-17Best! Store! Ever! This is a fantastic place for nerds of all kinds! Theyve got manga, comics, lite novels, model kits, tabletop games, memorabilia, funko pops, gunpla, plushies, and more! This is my absolute favourite place in the world to visit anytime I have some spending money, and one of the only stores I actually feel like I can relax in. The staff is always helpful and extremely polite. They host local gaming events for those who are interested, and all around do a great job of making themselves feel like a home-away-from-home. Cannot recommend enough.

2022-06-14Great place for comics, games, and related gifts. Go there all the time. I feel like the comics maybe take a second seat to the gaming and pop culture gifts. Other than recent stuff, no back issues... that sort of thing. But they do get some cool indie titles in on the regular which is cool, so good selection. Good TPB selection! Im not much of a gamer, but it looks like a great place to play MtG, D&D, Warhammer, etc. They have a big room for that and a few private rooms. Lots of pop culture gifts, pops, etc.

2022-08-22I was just looking around the place to see what they offered. They have board games & card games; TTRPG supplies including several books for various systems such as D&D, Pathfinder, along with some others like Call of Cthulhu; comic books, graphic novels, mangas, and more; a whole mini wall of funko pop figures; game tables and a private room; snack boxes and even drinks! Great selection and the staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely spend more than I should here!!

2020-02-28This store is awesome. Great selection of games(board &card),comics,books,collectibles,Funkos,posters,paint,and more for nerds and nerds at heart.The employees are friendly and most of all knowledgeable in what they sell. They carry imports as well. So much stuff its easy to break any budget you set for yourself lol. They also have gaming rooms for use and host a lot of events. We need more places like this. Support small business cause this one really is a gem and worth the drive.
