Do You Need A Place to Podcast and Game?
We have a very awesome room at Illusive that is perfect for Gaming while Recording. Or Podcasting. Or Game-cast-cording.  To reserve the room for your group, please just contact me
Comics Grading

We are an Authorized CGC  and CBCS Dealer.  You can set an appointment with us and bring in comics you want Graded and Slabbed, or get our opinion on if they should be submitted and we'll handle all of the paperwork and shipping.

New Releases Late.... Again
It only took me 19 phone calls this morning to find out that FedEx indeed did again mess up and didn't pick up our shipment from SoCal.   We tried and considered a lot of options, but ultimately have to wait until the shipment is ready for pick up Wednesday morning. 

There is a *chance* everything will be ready about 10am. But, just in case, p lease follow us on  Facebook or Twitter  and we'll post when Subscribers can get this week's New Releases. About two hours later, everyone else will be able to get their comics. 

You are welcome to sit and wait, or dance and wait, or shop and eat donuts while we get everything ready.  

We are actively working with all of the companies involved to make sure this never happens again. (We share a pallet with another store so it's two of us plus Diamond Comics bugging the crap out of FedEx to fix this problem)

The good news is that we've scanned in nearly all of our inventory to correct all the barcode issues our new Point of Sale system had last week (staff really have been busting their butts), so check out will be much faster this time!
