Dr. No’s Comics & Games SuperStore

A little to expensive for me. They were charging $ 14.99 for Marvel Hip-​Hop Variant covers. Magic Cards were $ 3.99. Pop Vinyl Figures were also overpriced, well some of them were. Looked at some Board Games and they were $ 20 — $ 40 more then Amazon. Unless you need something right away I would recommend going somewhere else.

Selection is mind-​boggling. Staff very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I was asked by four different people if I needed help during the 90 minutes I was there browsing through all of the really cool stuff! I am new to reading comics, and the staff asked about my interests and recommended titles I might like. I really appreciate them going out of their way to help. The merchandise was also in extremely pristine condition, which is great for collectors.

Great selection and very friendly staff. Everyone greeted me and asked if I needed help with finding something and then they left me alone to browse the store. My only complaint was while I was asking questions I was interrupted by a staffer and the two forgot I was there, I left without buying a single item. I know they care about customers but it’s the little things that matter

Be sure that whatever you buy you want to keep forever because all sales are final. Tried to return two copies of cards against humanity that I bought as gifts and was told that they could not take them as a return because they had already reordered stock. What a bullshit excuse right? These could sit on your shelves for a whole year and still hold their value. Also, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to buy stuff off the Internet and resell it for double the price at your store. $ 25 straight from CAH, $ 50 at their shop.

Honestly one of the few stores of its kind around so for that I’m thankful. The staff is nice and the selection is plentiful. However they won’t price match online prices, which is unfortunate. I wanted to buy Super Dungeon Explore but they had it marked at around $ 99.99. Amazon had it on sale for $ 64.95 and provided free shipping. Literally waiting a week would save me around 40 $ I understand that in this line of work it’s difficult to make a decent profit, but in the modern world this business model isn’t preferable to the consumer. I’ll definitely be returning but if you’re not in a super hurry to get a game you’ll save a lot of money by looking online before you make the trip.

As far as selection goes, this place was pretty good, and if it weren’t for the staff I would have rated it better.
We went in to get a game and found one that looked interesting but we knew nothing about it. So we loaded an online review by Dice Tower on my phone and sat down at an empty table. There was a group on the other side of the room making characters or something, and they did not seem disturbed. At first the volume was a little higher than I meant to set it, and one of the guys walked over and asked us to mute it. I turned it down to a level quieter than people standing there talking and we continued to watch the 7 minute review. Within a minute or so after, the same guy walked back over and was clearly annoyed that we didn’t mute the phone entirely and said «These tables are reserved for gamers only. You can pay the $ 5 charge if you want to sit here». It was obvious that he had an issue with us for whatever reason, and rather than ask if we had questions or see what we were up to, he assumed we were just being a-​holes not doing what he was telling us to.
So, we left, and going forward we will go to Hobby Town or Amazon for what we need. Didn’t feel good being treated like delinquents and not feeling like we could approach the staff.

Nice, friendly folks with tons of gaming activities on site.
Seems like a big selection of fare, but honestly, do not know enough to say if the prices are decent or not — and I know this stuff can be priced all over the map.
But judging from the foot traffic, must be doing something right. I’d absolutely swing by to check them out, maybe find your niche. Or power. Or crystal.

Very helpful store. They have an awesome selection and can order most anything you want. The workers there know their stuff and actually want to help and talk to you. They host game nights too if you are into the card games.

I absolutely love Dr. No’s. Their board and card game selection is easily my favorite in the city, and they are always tremendously helpful and will order anything I ask for. My store of choice by far!

I was looking for a particular sort of dice, and Dr. No’s was the ONLY store anywhere near Atlanta that carried them at all. I had never been in there until that visit, but I will certainly be back. The place was clean and well-​organized, the people were very helpful, and the price for the dice was the same as what I would have paid on Amazon. There was plenty of parking and it was also nice to see that the store was truly wheelchair-​accessible, unlike some places that say they are but have aisles that are in practice too narrow for mobility devices.

When my family first moved out to the boonies, we were stoked that there was such a large shop right in our neck of the woods. We bought our Christmas presents here, we went to several free comic book days here (and spent extra money as well — haha), and genuinely liked the place, even if some of the staff was a little stand offish.
However, last year was the last straw for us. Instead of the kids being able to pick their own comics, my husband and I sacrificed our allotment to the kids because they told us the kids didn’t get to pick their own allotment. My daughter selected what she thought was a bag of dice (it was with the dice, it was not labeled as being anything other than dice) and we discovered at home that it was a bag of counters. After a heap of bad attitude, I was not allowed to exchange it.
We thought we’d give them one more shot — everyone has a bad day once in a while, right? The staff was rude and unwilling to answer any questions, and openly dismissive of our interests. This place has devolved into a cliquish boys club with no interest in developing any new relationships. And furthermore their prices are more inflated than just about any other place we’ve been. Our family is spending our money elsewhere.

I don’t know what it is, but there’s something cool about this shop that keeps me and my friend coming back. I’ve been frequenting Dr No’s for sometime now and I always like coming here and checking out the comic books or the old manga they have. I haven’t found one particular comic book series that I like, but from time to time I’ll buy a random comic.
The store is nice and tidy when we go. I don’t go anywhere near the games so I can’t say anything about those. I usually get a kick out of the political comic books I see… I’ve seen ones ranging from Hilary Clinton to Barack Obama… Maybe it’s just me who finds them odd.
But I just like looking around at everything while my friend is buying a couple of comics. The staff is helpful if you have questions and there’s plenty of parking as Dr. No’s is located in an old shopping center.
They also carry older manga series, but some have been faded by the sun or they’re a really incomplete series so you take what you get in that aspect. But this is definitely one of my favorite comic book shops and I will continue to come back as long as I remain a geek…

After a life time of hearing about Dr. No’s, I finally made a visit about a year and a half ago. I was immediately enamored by the friendly and knowledgeable staff and the amazing selection of comics and games. Buck, Jarrod, Tom and the rest of the gang are wonderful and always willing to help and pointed me towards titles I fell in love with. The prices are good and the location fabulous.
The biggest drawback is the lack of money and time to buy everything and read/​play it all.

WOW lowest of the low. These guys ran an elaborate scam last week that screwed a lot of great customers out of merchandise. Now I know the dc villains 3d covers were allocated. But these guys accepted presales took people’s money and then when people came in to pickup the books they were told that a «midnight release» had been help for the jokers daughter book and at 11am when they opened there were none left. On top of that, customers were told that the jokers daughter book would be available for sale on Friday for $ 60! So A) they lied about having none then B) they jacked up the price and on top of all of that they never told anyone about a «midnight presale» so no one knew to come in and pick up their books.
F– awful store. I’ll never shop there again. And I’ll put in a call to diamond to inform them of the unscrupulous business practices.

Let me preface this review by saying that this only applies to the comics half of the store. I have not used the «games/​cards» half.
Dr. No’s is a fantastic comic book store in many ways; however, it has one glaring flaw — I’ll get to that later.
This place has an exceptionally good selection of new releases, current titles, TPBs, collections, graphic novels, and more. The New Releases rack not only displays the current week’s new releases (marked with a yellow «new this week» sticker), but they also keep the popular issues from the previous week on display. Another cool thing is the weekly staff-​recommended picks; they’ve all been great so far. This comes as no surprise, since most of the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
In addition to the wide variety of titles, the stock for each title is plentiful. There is rarely a situation where a current issue is simply out of stock. You can usually still find copies of the last 5 – 10 issues of any given title! They have an extremely good selection of variant covers as well. Many of their variants are overpriced compared to other stores, but the big perk here is that you get a FREE copy of the standard cover version for every variant you purchase! On the subject of variants, this is one of the only retailers in the southeast that gets to stock Phantom variants regularly, so definitely check those out.
They sell most current titles for cover price, however, occasionally some issues’ prices inexplicably go up as early as a week after the release date. This has caused me to look for certain issues online a couple times, which is really a bummer when you’re already there in person, willing to give your money to a local business.
Now for the flaw: THEY STORE THEIR COMICS ON WIRE SHELVES! This blows my mind. Half the fun of collecting comics is keeping them in good condition for possible trades or resales down the road. When the new releases and current titles sit on wire racks, they come off the shelves already with little dings, bends, and creases from the wires underneath. It makes it pretty hard to keep comics in VF/​NM condition when they don’t even come fresh off the shelf that way. Luckily, they often have enough issues in stock to where you can find a decent one in the lot. This is something that could easily be fixed, but I’m not sure why they thought this was an acceptable way to store comics in the first place.

I stopped in here the other day with my comic enthusiast boyfriend and his brother. I’ve been in other comic book stores and this is by far the nicest, cleanest, and most organized.
I don’t know anything about comic books, so I can’t say a whole lot about the selection, but it seemed like they had a ton of different titles. I enjoyed browsing just to read all the different names and look at the cover art. Honestly, I didn’t know comic books were a thing people were still into!
The staff was friendly and made sure we found what we were looking for.
Maybe I’ll start reading comics! ;)

Very well stocked comic store. The best stocked that I have seen in Atlanta. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful in finding what you need or want.
They have a decent selection of board games and CCG products.
The store has an excellent layout that is uncrowded and great for browsing. Except for that the fact that most graphic novels and comics are packaged for protection. Your browsing will be limited to looking at the covers of the comics and graphic novels.
Their prices however are high. Expect to pay more here for pretty much everything mentioned above.
I had also heard that their table space must be rented for 5 $ if you wish to play games here. Not terribly gamer friendly if you are looking for a place to hang out and play games with friends. They tend to want you to come in buy your things and leave.
Only going to them if I need something and they have it and I am not willing to order it online.

Prices are ridiculously high — 20% higher than Supergames in Alpharetta and 25% higher than Wal-​Mart for Yu-​Gi-​Oh booster packs, as an example. The staff aren’t at all helpful in getting things they don’t have in stock. I am charged a few bucks just to WATCH each of my stepson’s Yu-​Gi-​Oh tournaments! It’s my opinion that this store still exists only because their nearest competitor’s a long drive away. They do stock a wide variety of card and roleplaying games and supplies, and a lot of comics.

The good :
1.) Very helpful staff. Very knowledgeable, very friendly, extremely helpful. I can’t stress that point enough.
2.) The layout of the store is great. Things are easy to find.
3.) The selection — particularly of variant covers — is quite broad.
4.) A healthy selection of back issues, most of them reasonably priced.
The bad :
Wildly, WILDLY overpriced. Statues, variant covers, etc., are all usually at least double the cost of what I can pay anywhere else. I enjoy collecting first printings of variant covers. Although they have a wide selection of these, they are often priced 2 or 3 times higher than other area comic stores, or even their market value.
Having a local store that you can submit books for CGC grading to is nice, but be prepared to pay about $ 55 per book (for reference, you pay about $ 20 per book at events where CGC appears), and that is for the most economical option. You can also only submit books during the week (no weekends).
The ugly :
When Dr. No’s runs a sale, you can only learn details of the sale if you actually drive to their store. They do not use social media, email, etc to distribute this information. That is an incredibly inefficient way to conduct business in the internet age. Other comic shops are more than happy to let you know in advance what their sales will consist of in order to allow you to plan and budget; they’re more than happy to have your business. It’s one thing to wait until the day of the sale to announce the info on the website, Facebook, etc. To make a customer’s only option on learning the details of a sale to spend gas money to drive in is nonsense, and I won’t be doing it.
Dr. No’s is not the only comic shop in town, nor is it the only option for comic fans/​collectors (Ebay, etc.), but they appear to operate under the mindset that they are.

As mentioned by other Unilocalers, this store has a lot of various stuff. If it’s comic books, card games, roleplaying, or unusual board games, they probably have it. The staff is very knowledgeable, and can frequently help guide you to the thing you really want, even if you didn’t know that was what you wanted. If I can’t find the game somewhere else, I can usually find it here.
On the other hand, their prices are rather high, and they have a horrible returns policy. In the event that you need to return something, they will ONLY accept returns for replacement of the item, and ONLY if you have your receipt. You can’t even return an item for store credit toward getting a different item. If you’re going to get something here, make sure that it’s not going to be something you might need to return. And forget about returning a gift someone bought for you here. I’ll go there if they have something I can’t find elsewhere, but if I can find it elsewhere with a better return policy and better prices, I’ll probably buy it there.
