Dave's Comics & Paintball

Time changes all, right. Well, my last few visits to Dave's have become less and less rewarding. The comic book geeks don't seem to work there much, or possibly at all. The selection has not changed dramatically, but the service has been poor. Most of the emphasis now seems to be on trading cards. On my last two visits it was difficult to get the cashier to stop their in-depth conversation about the new Magic: The Gathering cards for a moment to ring me up. Still, it is the only place in town, to my knowledge, with a decent selection of graphic novels.

I don't really know about the graphic novel section of the store but Dave's paintball is an excellent place. This is one of the few places that Las Cruces has paintball supplies. The selection of paintball guns and accessories is really good. Tippmann is what they specialize in and you won't find any Spyder stuff here. Sorry!!! However, the most important thing is the customer service. The staff is really knowledgeable about what to buy and how to fix things. They set me up with a sweet setup and i was hooked. They always have fresh paint at affordable prices and they do C02 refills. So overall this is by far the best place to go in Las Cruces for paintball equipment if your new and want to get into the sport. Don't forget to ask about where people play during the weekend to get in on some desert action.

I was seriously disappointed to find out that the only Comic Book Store I've found in Las Cruces is a bust. The selection is the normal stuff, but beware there are very few newly released comics. I did see a couple comics I wanted so I proceed to the counter. And waited. And waited. Then another girl comes up to the counter to look at cards of some sort and gets immediate service. Okay, so maybe she's a regular, I can live with this. After he helps her the guy walks off with me trying to get his attention. At this point we decide to just leave. If they don't want my money they don't have to get it. If you attempt to shop here, good luck buying anything.

I seriously don't see how anyone can complain about Dave's. The entire staff is friendly. They are very helpful and informative on everything in the store. As far as selection, cry more. First come first serve. I've seen such a good selection of EVERYTHING in the store. For the only one in town, how can you blame it? Thanks for everything!
