What can I say about this place? It's amazing! Honestly great selection of TCG cards that range across the years. The staff is so incredibly friendly and helpful, they have the best local friendly scene for games. Skill level doesn't matter, everyone in the community makes sure that everyone is having a great time. The community is constantly growing and inclusive. This is my go to spot for Friday night games, sealed product and comics. Also they give out killer promos!

Awesome vibes, friendly staff, and a huge selection of TCGs, comics, and collectables. Great place for a Magic prerelease at fair pricing and a welcoming atmosphere!

Helpful staff. Decent prices. Good location. Exactly what I’m looking for when I go out hunting for comic books. I will definitely be returning.

Fantastic homely feeling shop with great staff and kind patrons!Comic books on all of the walls, with extra in bulk storage boxes that are sorted by series.Magic: The Gathering is the second most popular item that they sell in the store and they have a massive selection of sealed product on the wall, singles in a glass case, and everything you need to protect your cards as well. Friday nights there is Casual Commander for free where you get to play with a ton of welcoming individuals! I only started playing 4 months ago but it has been a blast to play at Comics To Astonish every Friday night. The prerelease events are also very fun!

This is my LGS.They are a comic store first, magic store second, but its a close second. If you put in the face time to be a regular, they remember you and take care of you. I always feel safe here, and the events they run are fast, professional, and fair. Smaller prize pool for the top end because everyone gets a pack if you stay for the whole thing. New to magic? Multiple vets will teach you as you play (though they won't go easy on you).Hands down my favorite gaming shop in Howard County.

Comics to astonish wants to take advantage of prices. A trading card pack that is msrp of $24.99 was marked up to $39.99. I understand there will be a markup at LCS but that is completely inappropriate. There are plenty of other LCS in the area that offer better prices with better customer service.

Average comic store. A fair back issue area and new issue section. Two locations with many comics that still need to be put out. Was expecting more variety in the warehouse store so that was disappointing. Both stores had a good walking space and fair prices. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff which is a plus. I have been in many comic stores and this one like many others was on par for average store.

This is a great place to buy pokemon cards from because most of the time, you will end up with a good card. The thing is, a pack alone is around 6.00 and that depends on what type of pack you buy, because if their a little old like a year, they will be like 8.00 for one, but the newer they go, the less expensive they get, they need to lower their prices because if I bought a booster box there, it would be around 300 dollars, but amazon would be half, so lower the prices please.

I have been to many comic book stores throughout Maryland. This one is by far the most expensive comic book store I have ever visited. Their prices are so high I would be surprised if many comic book collectors even buy stuff here. My guess would be most of their sales are from people that just don't know much about value / cost. Their back issues are priced way above their value based on condition. I did some price comparing while I was in the store. They wanted $35 for an old fantastic four. I looked the book up based on condition using all the main price guides. The books value was about $10. I needed a long box so I thought what the hell. These long boxes cost me around $5.99 at my regular comic book store. $10.55 was the cost at this store. They also sell CGC slabs online. The same books have been listed on the site for years because...well they are just too highly priced. I would not recommend this store when purchasing comic books.

Since I’m a regular customer and not with the store I can’t reply directly to a recent negative review. I will just say it is easy to tell when someone is being salty/whiny/self-centered and can’t see the bigger picture. I know that a certain group of MTG players would enjoy playing Friday night magic at the store. One of the reasons they enjoyed it so much was the generosity of the prizes and cheap entry for draft. However this was a money l**** for the store and forced employees to stay longer hours. It is also my understanding that these players RARELY purchased anything else from the store. To me it is clear why this decision was made. I’ve been a customer for 7 years and Keegan and crew have been nothing but helpful, knowledgeable, fair, and kind. You don’t survive 25+ years by mistreating people (employees and customers alike).

A wonderful example of exactly how NOT to run a business. Let alone a customer facing one. Some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Avoid this business at all costs. There are better shops in the area, with people who care about their clientele. Can't wait to see what replaces them.

I told them to invest more in card games you know how rich they would be how much each set goes up even if it just sits on the shelf and they wouldn't have to sell silly 5$ Keychains or whatever they do here. They have been here for 30 years but I think this may be the end and I feel sorry for this shop
