New Comics & Pull Lists

Fresh releases land every Wednesday. Start a pull list and we'll hold your titles so you never miss an issue.

Back Issues & Collectibles

Dig the bins for keys, runs, and hidden gems — plus statues, variants, and slabbed grails for the serious collector.

Magic, Pokemon & TCGs

Singles, sealed boxes, and Friday Night Magic. New to trading card games? We'll get you drafting in no time.

Board & Tabletop Games

From gateway hits to deep strategy epics and RPG rulebooks — with staff who actually play and can point you right.

Anime & Manga

Shelves stocked with manga volumes, box sets, figures, and the latest anime merch across your favorite series.

In-House Coffee Bar

Espresso, cold brew, and specialty drinks brewed on-site. Grab a seat, read a book, or hang while the games run.

Game & Tournament Nights

Weekly play at our tables — Magic, Pokemon, board game meetups, and casual tournaments with prize support.

The Gotham City difference

More than a shop — it's the clubhouse

Comics and coffee, together

Skip the errand-run. Sip a fresh latte, flip through new arrivals, and settle into a table that's yours for the afternoon.

03

A room that plays

Open tables every week for TCGs, board games, and tournaments. Come solo — you'll leave with a new crew.

What Mesa fans are saying

"Finally a shop that gets it. I grab my pulls, order a cold brew, and end up staying two hours. Kevin knows every title I read."

— Marcus D.

"Brought my kid to a Pokemon night with zero experience. Miguel walked us through it and now it's our Friday thing. So welcoming."

— Sofia R.

"Best back-issue bins in the East Valley, plus real coffee instead of the usual gas-station stuff. My favorite stop downtown."

— Jordan T.
