Comic Ch-ch-changes!
We are in the midst of some big changes we hope will make your shopping experience that much better!
*Once comics are moved from New Release Wall to the Current Wall, comics that are indie and few in number will now be moved to these new boxes on the Back Issue drawers.  This has cleared up the Current Wall for much easier shopping.


*We are adding related trades for some titles, to help you see what has been collected or is related.




*We've moved all Current Variants to the Current Wall, so they're with the other comics of their title.

*Older Variants and Premium Comics are now just alphabetical in the Back Issue Drawers

AND the biggest change *drumroll please*--

We will be totally rearranging our back room to become a Back Issue room, so you can easily shop dozens of Back Issue boxes with ease, Wednesday through Friday and Sunday and Monday. 

Online Shopping
Find our new and back-in-stock games and pops on our website! We will be adding Variant Comics and Premium Comics starting in the near future!

If your order is at least $100 you'll get 10% off!   Choose in-store pickup or we can ship for a flat rate of $10. 

Isle's Special Events This Week
ConspirUNcy Draft & White Elephant Gift Exchange Sat. at 5p

Bring yourself and one wrapped gift to this event. First you will play a Magic Draft with 2 packs of Unstable and 1 pack of Conspiracy (one pack of Unstable or Conspiracy per round win-- player's choice) and then all players will have a fun time playing White Elephant with the gifts.

White Elephant rules: One at a time, in random order, a person will open a gift or steal from another person for a gift they've opened. No gift can be stolen more than once. Prepare for laughter and silliness!!
