Really cool comic book, board game, and nerd collectibles shop! Spoke to a gentleman behind the counter that seemed welcoming in a “the butler” from rocky horror kind of way. He told me the place has been there for 50 years! That’s pretty awesome. I hope to make my way back someday to buy the Signed Mark Hamill X-Wing.

Staff are always friendly and super helpful. Have gotten some great recommendations. They work with me well on my subscriptions so long as I communicate if I'm doing a late pick up. They do offer to ship subscription items if you can't physically be there.

I can only think of great things to say about this store, it’s a bit of a drive from where I live but it’s absolutely worth it. You guys always have what I’m looking for, some amazing customer service and a treasure trove of collectibles! Did I mention the awesome hold music on the phone? Sometimes I’m tempted to tell you guys to keep me on hold so I can keep jamming 🤣 Thank you for making the place feel welcoming, as someone who has just begun to collect comics, Third Planet is my go-to now!

First went here as a child, came back as an adult and it’s as great as I remembered. Friendly and helpful staff, lots of comics and manga to choose from, along with merch relating to it. Bought two inuyasha pins and put them on my backpack. One of the employees even helped point to where someone new to dungeons and dragons could get started.

I haven’t lived in Texas very long and I always pass the shop as I’m driving not realizing that it’s just the type of shop I’ve been looking for since I left my home town. Someone had taken me to the shop and immediately I felt a since that I wasn’t wanted. For one. I believe that good energy and Kind service goes more than a long way. It creates life long customers and word of mouth business. The customer service was little to none existent. And sometimes it felt as if they thought I was steal something to be honest.

Stopped by to look at their magic and pokmon cards and browse some comics. I stopped in about 30 mins before they closed. I did not feel rushed at all. They had two workers who were both very knowledgeable and friendly. Joe (I blv) helped me out with the cards section. I ended spending almost $500. Well worth the money, these guys are great and I love supporting local shops like these. I blv this is the largest comic book store in all of Texas. Go visit here! You won't be disappointed. 10/10

worker yelled at us for opening a book that is in a bag. Did not try to be nice but yelled called us out so the whole store heard. Claimed no other comic shops let’s one open comics which is not true. Genuinely never been to a comic shop with someone so rude. Her name is STEPH. Love this shop but not coming back as long as she is here
