C & R Comics

I'll be honest, when I walked into the foyer and there was a nearly empty display case (which contained a plank of wood) I was skeptical the place was even opened. There was what I can only describe as a closet door in this tiny room. And wow, opening this door was like entering another realm. Inside the place was filled with all sorts of toys and Magic cards and video game stuff and a Hitler doll. It was magical and dark. 1/3 of the building was dark because the light was out or off. It was odd. The only reason I do not give this business a full five stars: not so many comics for having "comics" in the name of the store. Also, they are hidden behind the counter, making it difficult to browse.

Not the most inviting setup. I had to laugh when I read the earlier review about the creepy empty foyer with what looks like a closet door. That's this place all right. If you overcome the somewhat bizarre entrance, however, inside you'll find the best selection of Magic the gathering cards and assorted extras for sale in Wichita. All priced competitively, at or better than you can find on the web.The fact that they are only open on week nights, and week ends, is kind of a pain (store opening times are more of a best guess than a firm commitment) and the staff that works there is not uniform in their ability or willingness to help. The main guys who run the place are really helpful. Some of the others, not so much. All in all, this place feels a bit more like a labor of love than an for profit business.Still, I buy most of my MTG stuff there and would recommend others to do so as well. The selection is the best, the prices fair, and the place itself is a 'trip'.
