G-Mart

Great selection of comics, cards, and accessories! Employees are always friendly and more than happy to assist. Just getting into MTG and G-Mart has been very helpful in learning about the formats and how to play. Plus! I pulled a Jeweled Lotus from their packs

Cool small place. They hold some events which is great, but I do wish they matched Amazons prices on comics. I'd be shopping there all the time then.

I've been coming to this comic store for a little over a year or so and I've never had a bad experience here. I've always encountered very nice, friendly and helpful people. Even some of the employees that were there when I started coming is no longer there, they still have very helpful and friendly staff as if today. Their collectible items are limited but it seems to be growing as well. I've even found a couple of POP items that I've yet to see at other comic shops! Bottom line, as I've been taught in life, when you walk into an establishment, say hello. If you need help, ask for it. People are not mind readers (not that I know of). In today's world, people are not as friendly as others or ourselves. Sometimes, it takes a friendly person to meet a friendly one. The people at G-mart are friendly and helpful too. I'll continue to recommend this place as one of my top favs. ☺

I was on break and randomly googled a comic book store to check out. I was right down the street from it and arrived to this small but selection and personality packed store. I was greeted by a really nice guy who works there by the name of Pat who also had some amazing recommendations and even more impressive customer service. I just got into the trade paper back and comic game but it’s people and places like this that make even a novice like me feel welcomed. I will definitely be back. Life is about finding those places that you’ll remember for years to come and this is definitely one of them.

Great staff, wicked nice folk. Their selection of trade paperbacks is always evolving, and I usually stumble upon something I wanna read. Their online ordering is a bit cumbersome on the phone, but it’s great to be able to take a stroll and pick it up at the store.

I highly recommend coming first to G-mart for all your comic needs. We lost our two comic shops here in my hometown last year and the nearest store is over an hour away so I started ordering online. They are the best shop I have dealt with. Excellent customer service and excellent delivery. I've only had one issue and they went over and beyond what I expected. Keep up the great work!

I love comics and G-Mart has the goods. They have a huge selection of comics from every publisher and a great selection of trades and graphic novels. They also have an amazing number of back issues. They are also great for table top gamers! They have a good selection of games and game supplies. Dice, manuals and mini-figures! You can also get action figures, tshirts and statues. I always find something I want to buy. Their staff is also very friendly welcoming and knowledgeable about their product and can help with suggestions if you're looking for something new to read or shopping for a gift for that geek in your life.

I cannot recommend this store enough! I had my order shipped to me on the other side of the country and after checking out, I realized I made a mistake on one of the comic variants I ordered. I emailed them asking if I could switch it and they were able to accommodate me, no problem. Only thing you'll have to take into account is that it might take a little longer for them to ship em out, since they're a local shop. But considering the pandemic is also still happening, I think the time it took to receive my comics was just fine! Thanks so much, guys!

I periodically stop into G-Mart since it's on my way home but today was not the best experience. While the gentleman working was friendly he did not know how to handle comics at checkout. I spend the time to pick out the covers I like best in the best condition available. Like most collectors. Today I picked out my 5 new releases. Near mint. I brought them to checkout to watch your worker, lay the stack on the counter and bend each at the spine enough to scan the barcodes. I I didn't even let him put them in the bag for me. I hoped that his mishandling didn't cause any damage but just got home and 4 out of 5 have spine bend ticks. Not the way I chose them. I wasn't offered a receipt and probably won't be back for a while l'm sorry to say. Beware.

I used to read comics as a child and recently became interested in them again. I stopped by this store and was pleased with the selection. It easy to get to by public transportation and the staff was very helpful. I'm currently interested in artwork more than the story and the the staff made several suggestions. I plan to go back.

Very small comic shop right across from Logan Square to chill at. But no real back issues here to dig through. It's very rare I don't find much to buy at a comic shop, but here is an exception where I didn't find much to peruse. Okay location though.

This small comic shop has everything you need. What it lacks in physical space, it gains in quality of products and highly curated issues. When walking in, I of course saw the typical new releases shelf and classic volumes of favorites, but I was pleasantly surprised to see several sections I hadn't often seen in other larger stores: A robust Queer comics section, kids comics about inclusively, and a small series about disabled heroes. I walked about with a very timely "DC Pride" issue and another volume called Snotgirl which I had trouble finding at other spots. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I'm a newbie to comics and I felt very comfortable browsing and asking basic questions to the staff. Would definitely recommend!

SCAM! They take your money, but the comics don't ship. Looks like they used to be an ok online store, but make sure to sort reviews by new. Seems like there's new ownership or staff who just want your money.

While AlleyCat Comics in Andersonville has my go-to comic shop here in Chicago, I've been dropping by G-Mart a lot since it's within walking distance of my home. I was somewhat shocked by the negative reviews here; I haven't had any bad experiences at G-Mart and I've been there at least a dozen times now! The store isn't the cutest--it's your typical clean, fluorescent-lit comic book store--but the selection and friendly employees make up for a lack of 'aesthetic' (LOL). An older, bearded employee has always been pleasant, and a recent hire who *loves* Batman is genuinely one of the sweetest people I've ever met. They're always more than happy to talk to you about comics and pop culture stuff, which always makes my visits all the more enjoyable. Another great thing about G-Mart is that you can pre-order books at a discount and then pick them up in the store. YOu can also shop their extensive back issue selection online. Their online pricing is based on remaining quantity, so numbers can be a little questionable (and, frankly, ridiculous) at times, but if you're on top of your buying it's no big deal. Online exchanges are made by Don, who might be the shop's owner. He's extremely friendly and is more than happy to help you out with all of your pre-order and online shopping questions. He and G-Mart's pre-order program have helped me save a lot of money and expand the selection of books I read each month! All-in-all, I'm a fan of G-Mart. They've been a great asset to me in my comic book journey--and I'm super grateful for that!

I was out for a walk with my family and decided to stop by. First off I understand there is a pandemic and things are difficult. I saw some Pokemon Cards in the window. Now this is a new set that came out yesterday and wanted to pick some up for my son. The person working was dealing with another customer, and this were a little disheveled. It's okay that happens, they had to rearrange and everything so they were struggling to find the boxes for some statues. Cool. I get to the counter my son had picked out a book and headed outside to allow other people in to shop. The Pokemon cards weren't in the system. Cool they cam out yesterday I get it. I know how much they cost, but the worker has to contact the manager, so I wander around in the shop waiting for the worker to get a response. More time with the other person and the statues. After a bit longer the worker tells me that they have a price for two of the items but not the other two so they can't sell them to me. I respond I don't understand, they send another message. After almost an hour of being there they tell me the price of the Pokemon Cards is 60% more than the retail. I get that this is a new special set, but come on they just came out yesterday. I was frustrated it had taken so long. Told the worker thanks but not thanks, they threw up their hands and apologized again. We had already discussed that they knew the regular price. But the kicker was the passive aggressive have a nice day as I was walking out the door. Not a great way to treat someone. I was patient about waiting for a price of something for an hour, yeah I was upset that I had waited so long to be told that the price would be drastically higher than it should be. I don't need a passive aggressive have a nice day after being patient for an hour. What could have been a nice sale on a Saturday night probably results in me never going in here again. There are other shops.

If you aren't looking for this place, you'll probably just walk right by it. The exterior is very unassuming and low key. Nothing flashy, just straight to the point. Despite other reviews of condescending customer service, we had a good first go at this comic shop. Staff member was polite, kept to himself, but was very communicative. My husband found a comic he was looking for that some other comic stores didn't have or was out of stock: Northlanders Book 3: The European Saga. That's a plus! We purchased it with zero problems. Downside of this place is the storefront. Bright side of this business is the semi- wide selection. My favorite part: one of the few comic stores in Chicago that also sells board games!

Revising my review to say this place has worked hard to keep My Transformers Comic Book Loving Kid happy. After a few hiccups, I am happy to say that this place has become my kid's favorite spot for her comics. The staff has worked hard to provide great customer service and we will be long time customers.

Great place with a great back catalogue. Ryvre and Pat (DONT know of he still works there) are the best. Only issue is an employee named Molly who is the female comic book guy and looks down on "DudeBros" with different taste. Also she's a reylo so I'm definitely not going back until she's gone.

I had popped in to purchase a new comic book, and to see if they had some back issues that I needed. First impressions of the retail store were below par, there was a man napping on the small couch, and loudly snoring. The store had the dank smell of a small basement, and felt that way to. There was a female clerk who was helpful in finding the new comic book that I wanted, and in finding the back issues, until she quoted me the price. The issues were 3X higher than the market value for those issues.Apparently the owner has a policy regarding back issues: "Our philosophy is that selling completely out of stock is bad; we believe it is better to keep the last copy in stock at a higher price and at least give you an economic choice. Therefore even a brand new book can have a high price if it is our last copy." - G-Mart Comic Books. "FAQ: Why Do Some Recent Books Have High Prices?" G-Mart. G-Mart Comic Books, n.d. Web. 01 June 2016. The issues I was looking for are not highly in-demand, it is asinine to price them 3X higher than they are worth. This"philosophy" makes me feel that the owner does not wish to keep returning customers, and would rather have detractors over promoters of their business.

G-Mart had a comic book I've been dying to get my hands on. I decided to stop in instead of paying for shipping, and I'm so happy I did. I grabbed a few comics from their dollar section for my boyfriend's son, and the super helpful and nice woman working gave us a few extra freebies for him. Thank you so much, will be back soon.

Great comic store! They are well organized, friendly, stacked with titles, and easy street parking for access. I wish I lived a little closer cause i'd be here every week.

This and the people that run it are amazing. A niche store it may be, but if you're looking for comic books, board games, or related collectables, this is the place to frequent. The staff is phenomenal. Alex tends to be the one I deal with in store, and he is always friendly & helpful. Between Alex, the rest of the staff, & the online customer service, none of my requests ever go without solution. I'm beyond impressed with G Mart's level of customer service. Staff aside, the store stands strong on it's own. They've a wide array of comics/graphic novels new and old, with a bargain bin to keep you occupied. There's also a wall laden with a strong selection of tabletop games (not to mention what may be the most approachable board game night I have seen at a comic book store, i.e. strangers QUITE welcome). If you're into that sort of thing, you owe it to yourself to stop by. 10/10 Comic Shop, this store, and those who make it great, can't be praised enough.

I love love love G-Mart! It's RIGHT off the Logan Square Blue line, which is super convenient, and the store itself is awesome. They've got comics separated out by publisher, and then have a shelf dedicated to kid-friendly comics and toys. Spacious, pretty easy to navigate, and with really friendly staff. I really appreciate the organization. They've also got great discounts if you set up a pull list (aka comics you subscribe to and that they set aside for you every month). Picking stuff up is quick 'n easy since you can pay in advance for preorders. They're just an awesome shop all around and I really like them. There's definitely other really great, welcoming shops in Chicago (if you've got kids, check out Challengers - I don't have kids myself but the toy/youth area is a real big room all its own and I bet it'd be a blast to take a comics-lovin' youngster there). But for me G-Mart is definitely the one. The convenience of the location, the good staff and the awesome discounts really make it. They also have a rewards program, through Belly, where after every so many visits you can redeem points for things like discounts or free stuff. If you live near the Logan Square, Belmont or California stops and want comics, check 'em out!

This place use to be my go. It use to be a decent neighborhood comic book store that I was proud to support. The last couple times I have been here, things just keeping adding up for me as to why to not shop here. I went in today and it wasn't even busy. The place was a hot mess with comics and toys clearly in wrong spots, comics lying in piles dusty and some items double categorized. Not only in the entrance of the door but inside the store was dirt, fall leaves and even sticks that have found their way in due to guests. I understand that it is fall but can someone pick up a broom and clean!?! The biggest thing that I have noticed that is really, really annoying is that you are not even welcomed anymore in the store. The person that is working is always about 95% of the time behind the counter on the computer or looking at their phone. Having shopped here many times, the only time when they are chatty and care is when the boss or an older team member is around. You can definitely tell if they are new! You can also tell that this place is trying to reach out to get more females to shop here with their obvious 3rd way vibes at time (and this is coming from a female speaking right now.) But I will say, if you do not fit that box, you will be a female that means nothing to them except for a sale. I really wanted to think that maybe I have come in on a few bad days but this is getting way to consistent. Time to hire someone that will at least say "hello" or be passionate in c.s. and comics. I guess it is time for me to find other places. Too bad.

Super yay! I'm so glad I Yelp because if I didn't I might never have discovered this great little shop. Well, I probably would as I frequent the Logan Square Blue Line stop, but still. It's small but they have a great little selection of Marvel Comics (sorry, I'm a Marvel Baby so I can't really comment on anything else in the store). It's not a massive store but they do special order comics, of course. Plus, the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable AND most importantly, it's close to me AND the Logan Square Blue Line stop!!! Woo hoo!!!

This is my favorite comic shop in the city. Right off the blue line in the heart of logan square this is an awesome and affordable shop, with excellent service.

I Love this Place.... I've been avid Comic reader for a very long time and so far G-mart has been the best place to shop. The staff is super friendly from the store Manager Paul on down, and they are always happy to help out and answer any questions ranging from what came out this week? to what should I buy my Husband/brother/boss/friend? If you do decide to read comics on a monthly basis, then I definitely recommend joining their pull list which is easy to do and easy to maintain.

Update! Gmart has moved to a new store front, next to El Cid. More convenient for me, and certainly more like a real store than a warehouse. Still not the prettiest store, but a step in the right direction. All the great stuff I said before applies, so this is a bonus. If you're looking for back issues, you should ask. They don't keep a lot on the floor, but their database has all the stuff in the back room/shipping area on-line.

Very friendly staff, was greeted as soon as I walked in. Very clean shop compared to other locations I have been too. Easy to get to by public transit, across from the blue line. Always wanted to stop in and never had the chance too. Today was the day. I walked in to see if they had more issues of the Orphan Black series and they did, picked the ones I was looking for and I added two Star Wars to my haul. The pos system does give some issues but overall a positive experience. I will return soon.

This place is stupid. I hate them so much. They are rude and have poor business ethics. They actively rip customers off. They up charge books only because it is their last issue in stock, even if it's a recent book.

I went to G-Mart looking for a birthday present for my boss. He's really into comic books, so I thought it would be a good gift. I knew 1) He had read Watchman (which is the only thing I had ever heard of) 2) He had Japanese anime all over his office 3) I've also seen some Superman in his office as well 4) He likes Harry Potter I told this to the girl behind the counter and she hooked me up. She suggested a series which she said was similar to Harry Potter and then I found some additional books on the $1.00 shelf. I also found a 75% off book about comics in the 1950's that I thought he might like. I'm sure I have a winning gift. Very nice staff, super helpful, reasonably priced, and not intimidating for non comic books lovers. I will definitely be back for Boss's day, Christmas, my husband's birthday, anniversaries, etc. etc. Thanks to G-Mart for making it all painless!

I fear writing such a good review should they have to become bigger and lose out on all the good things that come from them being a smaller, but more powerful experience than any comic book shop I've gone into in Chicago. That's a problem I would wish upon them, bc they're THAT great. Highlight Reel: 1.) Most value for your dollar. Biggest discount for pulls in the city. Just look them up. And as an example of the kind of service they offer, DC released limited edition 3-D motion cover variants for their Villians Month and some stores didn't get many, and didn't give their subscribers those editions...BUT THEY GAVE ME ONE. And I'm probably not even their most loyal proponent. Just. That. Good. 2.) I'm a self confessed noob to comics, but I love them so much. I shopped many many MANY places and was willing to travel to them should they be the best. Justin, Pat, and a wonderful girl who's name I never get were crucial to me having a great, open transition into comics and fielding all my dumb questions. Offering great recommendations. Always ALWAYS being welcoming. Even when it's busy. They don't lose their heart for the sake of speed. I've worked in retail for a long time, it's a fine line to walk. I respect them for that to the utmost. 3.) You can get their subscriber / pull discount on trades if you order them through your account. 4.) They had one trade IN STOCK that no one else had, even the mighty Grahams, that I looked for everywhere bc I'm a huge Hickman fan. Sentimental props for that. But those magic moments are what keeps you coming back to a place right? This place is stocked to the brim with MAGIC MOMENT POTENTIAL. This review is long overdue. I hopped back on the boat when New 52 started and at the end of A v X, and haven't left since. If you're a seeker trying to get your foot in the door, and veteran who wants the real deal (from what it looks like and overhearing others conversations when they come in), and everything in between: Please don't waste your time. Come here. I still don't know what G-Mart stands for but my educated guesses are as follows: Gangsta Mart (Too thuggish for the timid.) Goliath Mart (Doesn't wanna come off like a jerk, but is way bigger and better than other shops.) Greatester Mart (Bc it's not grammatically correct, but it's the honest to god truth.)

Pros: I've been on their subscription service for over almost a year now, and theirs is probably the best I've seen in the Chicago area. They offer 35% off of advance orders, there are no minimum orders (I'm certain), and I can manage my subscription online via their website. Just to do a quick comparo of their 35% discount on advance orders vs. other places I go to: Brainstorm: 10% Challengers: 10% Dark Tower: Up to 20% Chicago Comic Vault: Up to 15% The other places just don't come close. I will qualify this by mentioning that I have a pretty deep pull list, so the amount I save every month is significant. Someone who may have few/less subscriptions may not be affected as much. But that's still 35% off. Other pros for me are: friendly/sociable and knowledgeable staff, great online retail website (with in-store pickup), deep/exhaustive collection of back issues (which has a related con I will mention below). Cons: While they do have a significant amount of back issues, they actually raise the price if they approach a lower # of copies of a particular title/issue. This is quite the opposite of what I've seen in other places--Brainstorm will have 50% off depending on the title, while Dark Tower and Challengers have $1 bins for back issues (awesome!). Because of this reason, I will usually check other places first for back issues unless it's really hard to find. Other cons for me include the decor of the store front, which someone has already mentioned. It doesn't really bother me much, especially since they have a bigger space compared to other shops. Overall, I would highly recommend this store, to any casual and serious comics fan.

I recently got back into comics. I purchase ongoing and back issues. I've been in search for certain back issues lately from the 2000s I've gone there three times for back issues and each time the owner charges 3x above market value for comic. He says that it's store policy when they only have one issue left to charge about market to keep the issue in stock. Once I bought the comic, their online database says they had "multiple issues." For him to charge that much for non sought after books like that is ridiculous. Not to mention the customer service. The large man with the goatee was very rude and condescending and doesn't leave from behind the counter to help his customer. He just tells me to "go look over there." I will not be going back. July 2, 2017: Honestly I don't even know why I continue to give this place a chance. They are so rude and unprofessional. I called this shop looking for a specific comic "Edge of Venomverse," which came out four days ago. Other shops were sold out so I decided to call ahead. The person that I talked to on the phone told me that they didn't have it but he'll double check. 5 minutes later a girl picks up the phone and she says they have one left that's in the back and that it would be $15. I asked how is that possible when the comic came out FOUR DAYS PRIOR to today. She says that's policy when it's the final one. I said that's ridiculous. She said oh well That's the policy. That is horrible customer service and the fact that you are up charging new comics is absolutely ludicrous. I wish I could give zero stars... I can't believe that they are in business with such a ridiculous policy....Stay out of this store. There are far better ones around that don't attempt to rip you off and have better customer service.

Small shop neatly organized. I like it just like some of the other small shops I've been to that are like this... Across from the Logan Square Blue line stop

Located in Logan Square, this Comic Book Store has a variety of Comic Books. They have dollar comics for those just starting to get into comics. I used a belly app promotion and got 5 free dollar comics. I am teaching an apprenticeship on comics so this was a nice timely promotion. I would return here again. There is parking on the street. It is also right off the blue line.

To the GEEK-cave!!!! Well, that is my secret location right around the corner from G-mart (read: My Apt). G-mart is a cool little shop right by me. Oh how I love having a place right there. Not only do they have a good bit of new releases but they also have a great Trade selection. Unfortunately, the feel of it needs to be a bit more eclectic. This will come with time. I agree with all the other reviewers that they have a great pricing for their online stuff. But sometimes you want to just chill and flip through what they have. They have some other items like a bit of HeroClix, both loose and in the box. Action figures. And some d20 dice. If they wanted to start more gaming supplies they would probably do pretty well. Considering there are now NO gaming shops in the Chicago City!!!!

If this place ever goes out of business I will go on a killing rampage. Well, maybe I won't go that far, but I might hole up in my room and cry for a while. This is the best comic store I've ever been in. While it doesn't have the eclectic, artsy atmosphere of paces like Quimby's or Chicago Comics (which are also good, but not as good), it's full of great finds, knowledgeable staff, and up-to-date stock. My favorite part? Their subscription service, obv! You get greatly discounted comics delivered right to the store, bundled for you, and pulled off your credit/debit card (or you can pay for it there, but I don't). It's almost like picking up free comics. I love you guys. Keep being awesometasticincrediblefancy.

I love it here! The staff is cool and always suggest awesome POC comics. Getting a subscription makes it super cheap and easy when I need to run in and get out. I've only been to one game night, but had a lot of fun. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Great little shop in the heart of Logan Square, directly across from the CTA Blue line. They have a great subscription pull service that will save you BIG $$, just tell them what comics you read each month and they'll pull them for you so you never miss an issue, and even give you a discount to do it! That's WIN-WIN! Plus the staff is very helpful, if they don't have what you want, chances are they can get it. Their website has thousands of back issues available, so this shop has you covered!

This place is great! Friendly, knowledgeable staff, large selection and it's just across the street from the Logan Square blue line stop. If you need something special ordered, they're happy to do it. This store also offers an excellent subscription service too-they'll pull your regular books and hold them for you-guaranteeing your issue will be ready for you on Wednesdays.

I've never actually been there, but I'm a loyal mail order customer and find everything about their web site to be fantastic. Great discounts and free shipping!

I went into G-Mart looking for a pretty mainstream graphic novel. To be honest, I was a bit intimidated- I guess I expected some human incarnation of "comic book guy" to be like "oh, that book? How pedestrian...". How wrong I was! Not only were they super nice, they were really helpful and had some great recommendations. I will definitely be back!

Best comic shop in Logan Square! Even if its the only one. Nice friendly employees and great service. Large selection of backissues, issue pacs, trades and heroclix figures and other figures/toys. Occassionally I see mixed groups of kids and adult players running a game as well. This place is conveniently located next to El Cid across form the blue line/bus stop on Kedzie. Try doing the advance orders on their website, you can save up to 30%. That adds up!

First and last time I will be returning to this business. The woman behind the counter was not helpful at all and never bothered to offer assistance. She avoided any conversation with others. As well as eye contact. I felt unwelcomed and decided to leave. I have never been to a business like this. I was very disappointed. This woman made me feel very uncomfortable. I hope the employees improve their customer service and no one feels uncomfortable in this business again.

Some of the friendliest people I've met since moving to Chicago! They have some really great deals for people who follow comics issue to issue as well as some great pre-order deals. Also, on Thursday nights they host a game night. These game nights feel more like a family than a group of random people playing games! Plus, everyone is welcome to join! Awesome.

Today was my 1st visit to G-mart. Awesome place for comic book lovers like myself. They have an awesome collection of collectors comics and memorabilia. Nice and spacious and not tight and crammed like other places I've visited. Very warm and inviting too. Alex helped me today. Very cool person for sure! I look forward to my very next visit - very soon.

This is a spot that I walked by everyday off the Logan Square Blue Line and thinking " I need to go in there someday." And that someday came this past Summer and I haven't stopped showing up in anticipating of all the great new releases on Wednesday. The staff is super helpful and know just about everything about everything about your favorite super heroes. Highly recommend you pay them a visit.

I really like G-Mart. The clerks are super nice and knowledgeable. They're not condescending like you find at other places when a girl walks in. Parking and location kinda suck, but it's cool.

The store isn't a dump and the staff seemed nice enough but they have a minimal amount of books on their shelves. I'm sure for folks who pickup their weekly stack it's fine. For the casual shopper it leaves much to be desired.

Great comic book shop with knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices. The crew at the store always have great recommendations for new books to read and truly love comics themselves. My only regret is that lately I have been too busy to go in more often.

In Chicago from out of town, I was on the hunt for somewhere to pick up my new Wednesday funnybooks. Luckily, G-Mart was just a few blocks from where I was staying. The atmosphere was pretty comic book shop bog-standard: a little funky, an angry guy behind a counter, stacks of games and comics. But you don't go to these places for the ambience. Their selection of new material is very solid and they've got a good storehouse of games; they aren't super-heavy on indie/artsy books, but they carry a decent amount for those on the hunt; and their back issue selection isn't super-deep, but it's wide. It's navigable, welcoming, and pretty decent for a small shop.

Runs a board game night but makes 0 attempt to include anybody and doesn't have any games. Allows 15+ people to stand around at one time. Allows noise to be so loud that you can't even hear those next to you, but then yells that everyone must shut up so that "people must buy stuff". To be included in games, go to Dice Dojo. For a comic book store, go to Third Coast Comics. Boyfriend decided not to buy the hard-to-find new comic he'd been wanting here. Also in the middle of a very dirty area. If you want people to buy things at your store, don't run an event and then not allow participation, or run an event that does allow "cliques", and literally makes people angry.

Well organized place, this is the place to place monthly orders for your comics , they have huge back issues and let you browse their inventory on a computer very helpful.

35% off subscriptions, one of the best if not the best deals in the city. Located in the Heart of Logan Square. Those two reasons alone make this place great but the staff is what makes this place awesome. I got back into collecting comics a couple months ago and came in with a 10000 questions and still haven't finished asking them. However the staff at G-Mart keep answering every single one of them. I really feel like i'm part of a community there. If you haven't been in a while the store looks great now and they have a pretty solid selection, anything they don't have they can order. Best Part? I always bring my dog with!

Came in the other day to pick up a few starter comics for my nephews. While the decor was shab-tastic, the service was friendly & helpful. While I'm far from an avid comic person, it seemed like they had a good selection. Will definitely be back for the kids; one was super excited with his, the other lifted them up and said, "oh, I got magazines".

The place is a bit small but the staff are great and they can order anything you need if they don't have it in stock.
