Pulp Fiction Comics & Games

Only comic book store I go to. They are very customer focused and care about their service. I have been going for probably over 5 years now and they have always been helpful. If there is a back issue you want and they can order it, done. If there is a book coming out and you want them to hold it for you, done. If there is a book or graphic novel they don’t carry and you want them to order, done. Huge comic book selection and the gaming section is very large too. They have tons of statues and figures available for sale also. I am not a big card gaming guy but they appear to be one of the larger outfits as far as people gathering to play. They have tournaments all the time and do midnight releases for new card sets. Overall a great place to shop and a great atmosphere.

This is a great comic book store! My fiancée and I ventured here after moving up from Wichita. First thing we did was get our pull lists in order. I get a lot of Transformers comics, which they don’t order that much of. The guy behind the counter told me that because of that, it may be a week behind. That’s fine with me. We come in maybe every 2 – 3 weeks or so.
The place is well stocked and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a big game room we have often seen being used, but we haven’t sat down to play with anyone yet. Prices are marked and are regular retail. People don’t come here for the prices. They come for the environment and the helpful staff. They do have a modest selection of snacks and drinks, usually purchased by the gamers.
My fiancée and I will be regulars as long as we are in the area. The staff know us by name when we walk in the door. That type of treatment is what I look for in these type of establishments. Highly recommended if you are comic book geeks like we are.

They have a great staff and great customer service. They are extremely helpful, and are knowledgeable about their games. I am not a comic collector, so I don’t know about the comic-​book side, but every time I’ve gone in there, the staff was friendly and knew what they were talking about. I’m pretty sure they have the biggest board game collection out of all the game shops in the city. But the selection of miniatures is somewhat limited.

Great business. Very helpful employees.

I’m not sure how well I can provide a fair review of Pulp Fiction Comics when my only visit to the store was the second most important day to geeks across the world — free comic book day! Surely any place that gives you free stuff that you would have purchased anyways goes up a few stars regardless of the actual quality of the business.
However, I tried to eliminate my childish excitement for a few seconds to do a good one-​over of the place. As far as comic shops go, it is a pretty decent size — not too small that it feels crowded with stuff but also not too big that it feels empty and overwhelming. The layout is pretty typical for a run-​of-​the-​mill comic store but with the number of people that were there today it did feel like it was easy to be trapped in the back with no escape.
The staff seemed friendly enough but in all honesty, they were so busy today that I can’t give an accurate reading on whether they would make you feel at home if you weren’t part of their tribe. Comic shops are always a bit difficult to visit as an outsider and to me this is usually the thing that makes or breaks it. I am going to try to visit again another day to get a better feel for it.
Overall, I’d say that Pulp Fiction is a winner but I’m not making any promises.
As a side note, for free comic book day they allowed you to take only 3 books plus one more with each non-​perishable food item you brought. I understand that they likely have limited supplies of the books but this was slightly disappointing considering the comic store I frequent in Cleveland allows you to take one of everything. I’m not complaining since I understand why they have to do it but it is good to know for people trying to take a big stack of books home on FCBD.

This a great games and comic story. Super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. If they don’t have an item, they are always happy to special order. They are great with giving suggestions. And the always make the customer feel welcomed and invited in. The one thing is, sometimes it is hard to leave because they just keep up such an interesting conversation.

I am in love.
How Husband and I have managed to visit Lees Summit so many times and never find this place is beyond me. But we were cruising around in Mother-in-Law’s car, and I was playing with her GPS, and I happened to type in «Games» out of curiousity, and I’ll be damned if Pulp Fiction didn’t pop up as only being .3 miles away. Husband and I commenced to put on our best begging faces – «Please can we go to the game store? PLEEEEEASE?»
And we just about fainted from joy when we walked in.
Pulp Fiction is not a huge store, but it has an INCREDIBLE inventory. Comics, graphic novels, RPGs, minis, and LOADS of board games. Whoop! Husband immediately turned to me and said, «How much money do we each get to spend?» And let me tell you, if we lived near this store, we would spend a LOT of money.
One major thing I really liked about Pulp Fiction is that it is incredibly clean and well organized. Although I love my dork brethren, they are usually more focused on their games than on keeping things neat and clean. Distinctly lacking from Pulp Fiction is the odor of fast food and BO that permeates most similar establishments. Even the open gaming room in back is super clean.
I just can’t say enough good things about this store. Please go. I want to make sure they do good business so that they will be thriving the next time we come to town.
