About Us
Arena Comics & Gaming, Inc. is the place to go to find the best atmosphere for discussing comics, gaming and hanging out! We pride ourselves on having a very knowledgeable staff and friendly atmosphere that is welcoming to anyone that is interested.
How We Got Started
Arena Comics & Gaming opened in the wake of another local comic book store closing. Originally we were just comics and games with a play area for customers to use. As the years progressed we were approached to start running organized play tournaments for many different games systems.
