Alternate Reality, Inc

Checked to see if anyone had similar complaints and unfortunately, seems like there are. At first, I thought the owner was just naturally reserved and stern and that's ok. And then I was there at the same time as an elderly white couple and the tone of his voice and ambiance was literally night and day between how he spoke to them as opposed to me. Just sucks that a comic book shop is like that of all places, it should be a geek zone for ALL geeks.

First went here as a kid and thought it was literally the coolest place around to be. Being 21 now I've gotten more interested in comics and movies throughout the years. I recently purchased two posters of some favorite films of mine from here and was very satisfied with them. This place is an absolute treasure trove of pure awesomeness. The guy who owns the place is such an awesome dude and was very kind and helpful. If you love comics, card games, and movies this is your go-to place. Will definitely be going back to purchase some posters and comics very soon.

Most people are saying that the older gentlemen is rude. But in my personal experience he is a really calm and helpful guy! I come in more often because I recently started playing magic the gathering with my coworkers and every time I have come in he has been super nice. I can admit I am a really annoying person and made him keep grabbing me different packs to check the prices and even then he was not mean or condescending in anyways. Gotta say I love coming to this store to pick up magic cards and I will be stopping by time and time again. Thanks for the help sir. I’ll be back for more magic cards in the upcoming future. -local kean kid
