Source Comics & Games

This place is an absolute nerd mecca. It's awesome. Huge space with tons of games and collectibles on display. Staff has always been supremely friendly and helpful. I've primarily come here off and on for MTG tournaments over the past ~10 years and haven't found anywhere remotely as good!

3.5/5The Source holds a special place in my heart as I remember it at its old location with its giant toy soldier out front and giant Spidey straddling the aisles. It had so much character! Nowadays at their new location it's usually too cramped and crowded and just doesn't have as many fun things for me anymore (I guess I grew up). Also, twice that I've visited for my one comic they've been out so I sadly will continue to use my other place going forward. Their game selection is great however and I love their sales.

Cae from a long way away to shop and found just about everything I was looking for. This is a gamers superstore!

My boyfriend and I frequently spend days off travelling to whatever stores we can find that sell MTG products. This last week we made our way to Roseville to visit Source and when I walked in I felt like a kid in a candy store. Source is HUGE. I'm usually only interested in the Magic selection, but I left the store with three comic books that I've been loving. (Fun fact: I assumed all comics were super hero/action themed so I never bothered browsing them to begin with. After reading Alex & Ada I decided to look up related comics and Source had almost all of them!) To top it all off, everything was arranged in alphabetical order by title so I could easily find what I needed without help. As far as Magic goes, it's a yes from me. I didn't get to look into their singles too much on this trip but they had sustainable Return to Earth Boulder boxes that I had never seen before which I thought was awesome. You can also buy dice individually which I wish every store did because there are a few dice types I never use. They have a great dice selection and a large area with tables to play, too. I'm giving four stars because the energy at the checkout desk is pretty low. I really love finding high energy stores where the employees chat with you about whatever you're buying. It's a big part of the experience for me, personally. Other than that, Source Comics & Games is on the money! You won't regret stopping by. Comic recommendations that nobody asked for: Alex & Ada, The Wicked + The Divine, Sex Criminals, Paper Girls.

This place have it all. I came here for board games and they did not disappoint. There are certain titles here that I couldn't find anywhere else. They also have a lot of Kickstarter stuff available and decent price. Highly recommended!!

It's easy to become overwhelmed quickly once inside Source. There's so much stuff everywhere you almost don't know where to start. Their comics along the wall are organized alphabetically...personal preference is to have them by arranged by publisher, but that's just me. Loads of board games as well. High sticker price on these items. This is what typically deters me from buying new games in-store. No exception here. There's a huge area in back for gameplay and I'm sure it's probably packed for events and the like. If you're looking for a comic, graphic novel, trade paperback; chances are good they'll have it. Parking and entrance are in the back.

I have come here several times but it is less and less appealing each time. Their prices are getting a bit ridiculous as well. Modern Masters 2015 booster box is $600 vs online for $290 is just robbing people.General booster boxes are $120 ea, where I can go anywhere else for $100.The card selection is also pretty weak.Recap. Today I decided to swing in. They have Alliances booster packs for $49.99 eaI mean really? A box fetches $900, and they simply double the pricing? This place completely blows now. Won't spend a dime here. Certainly they won't last.

Okay, so I was a little worried about this place after reading all the reviews about unfair treatment to females and transphobic employees. Well, I am happy to say that I encountered none of that here and am in fact definitely planning on another visit. This store is bigger than any comic store I've ever visited, with a massive manga section with many titles I was extremely excited to see. There was too much to take in at once and my only regret was I couldn't buy up everything I saw. I had to settle for four books in very good condition, after about thirty minutes ransacking the shelves. There is also a space where the carpet of the store fades away to plain stone, where you can eat and drink while reading your favorites. This store contains so many pop culture merchandise and comics I would definitely need another visit to completely catalogue. Instead, I'll just say this: this one is a keeper, and you should definitely visit it if you find yourself in the twin cities. Now, the part you've all been waiting for: the customer service. The lady at the register was beyond helpful. She was cheerful despite the man before me, who was trying to find a specific game card. When she checked out my books, we both noticed we had a similar love of manga, and even discovered a common interest in the show Black Butler(side note: if you love anime/manga, you need to read the manga AND watch the anime, or else you haven't truly lived.) In summary, I left this store blissfully happy and I will definitely visit it again, and I urge you to do so as well.

This board game comic shop has a combination of a wonderful selection of games and incredible selection of comics (some of which my only other source is online, if I'm lucky!) and seriously cool support staff. What an amazing find! This place made my visit to Minneapolis transform from cool to seriously awesome.

Been my go-to for games and gaming supplies for years! Great selection of games (board and ttrpg) as well as comics and collectibles. And the staff is friendly and helpful. All in all a nirvana for nerds like me!
