Nestled in the heart of Downtown Dublin, gamers, collectors, and people from all walks of life gather at Comics&!, a paradise for lovers of all things “nerdy.”
Comics, Cards, Toys. Oh my!
Stepping into Comics&! feels like wandering into a comic lover’s dreamland. The walls are lined floor to ceiling with comics, manga, Dungeons & Dragons handbooks, board games, cards, Funko Pops, and more! Find major titles from DC and Marvel Comics like Spiderman, Harley Quinn, and Batman, more obscure titles from Dark Horse Comics and BOOM! Studios, classics like Watchmen and The Sandman, and even stories from local artists and writers. If toys and statues are more your style, discover the typical comic characters, horror movie monsters, Transformers, and even rare, no longer in print figures.
Where the Players Play
If you’re looking for a new hobby or just beefing up your deck, the front counter is loaded with booster boxes and individual packs of Magic the Gathering, Disney Lorcana, and Pokémon, as well as fun themed classic poker decks. D&D fans can purchase their new fave dice. You can even test out your new purchases or play a game with your friends at their card tables for no rental fee.
For the more seasoned players, try your hand at participating in one of their tournaments. Tournaments take place typically Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights, usually lasting past closing and include Pokémon, Magic the Gathering, Flesh and Blood, and Disney Lorcana as well as drafts and new releases for these brands. Call the shop to find out the full tournament schedule.
Comics & Family
As a lifetime fan of comics, film, and fantasy, Aaron Manning opened Comics&! in 2010. Very supportive of their son’s hobby turned business, Aaron’s parents, Al and Judy, will be the ones greeting you when you step inside.
Comics&! is located in what locals call the old Ma Hawkins building, a beloved restaurant that started in 1931 and closed 2005. Learn more about the buildings in Downtown Dublin on the self-guided Historic Downtown Dublin Walking Tour.
