Victory Comics

Great selection of manga, ttrpg, play space, and a bunch of wonderful comics to add to your dragon horde. Staff was helpful and did not interrupt the experience of walking around and hunting for something fun to bring home. I love the inclusive options and LGBTQIA+ representative literature available. Definitely going to come back.

I used to play here regularly a decade + ago. I started visiting more again recently and it's still one of the nicer stores for both playing card games like Magic and Pokemon as well as being a respectable comic shop. They now have an expanded singles collection and I've enjoyed the bulk boxes of alphabetized singles. Parking is a challenge sometimes but I cheat by using the park across the street. On a busy night you can park up the block.

One of the largest comic + TCG stores I’ve ever been in! I went for Pokemon cards specifically. The selection was amazing, and pricing was okay. Pretty much on par with TCG player pricing. Will be back.

Tom was amazing at the desk. Thank you for double bagging. The guy in the back could learn to talk less trash and pick up more. The parking lot is gross and has cig butts everywhere. Here I did it for you. Thought this was a place of love.

THE BEST. Such a gem of a store. The RPG and miniature stuff is top notch, best of anywhere I’ve seen. Comics selection is very thorough, and honestly they need to bottle and sell that fantastic “comic book smell” that hits you when you walk in the door. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it. Friendly staff and customers, everyone’s there for the love of the hobby.

This might be a hyper-negative review but I can’t really bring myself to give anything higher. Let me lead with the fact that I only have ever been to VC for the TCG, I cannot speak on the quality of comics (I know how ironic that may sound). First, the quality of cards. I collect both MTG and Pokemon and despite having two large cases full the selection is really mediocre in my opinion. It’s all low end, not that great stuff. When they do have grails they are always in terrible condition which kinda takes the value away for me. Also there buying system is TERRIBLE. They give criminal level offers, even for high end stuff. A buddy of mine when he was a kid sold his 800+ dollar collection for 200 cash and 200 store credit. That to me is high way robbery and I hate to picture other kids getting scammed like that. Now for a bit of positivity. The staff is really nice and straightforward. They also have a really nice store atmosphere and a larger selection of sealed product (despite mediocre prices). The store in general just doesn’t blow me away in anything at all other than service. And let it be known THIS REVIEW IS ONLY ON TCG. Everybody who I know is a comic nerd loves this place. So if that’s why your going would reccomend but admittedly all my info is secondhand. In general, decent store, just pretty mediocre in terms of the TCG world. Have to love the service there though!

I've loved the comics, TTRPG, and board game scene here for years. Unfortunately they sell cards way above MSRP - the booster box for Riftbound (which is priced at 119 online by the manufacturer) is available in store for 300. Probably going to move on and find a other LGS because of this.

Been twice with a friend of mine to play Warhammer Horus Heresy. Always good talking to someone to get a table before we come in, nice staff, can get loud sometimes if an event is going on (but never pressure or force us to wrap up). Overall a good store.

I discovered this shop on the way to league bowling in Falls Church. Nice shop and very kid friendly. They have whole section dedicated to gaming and they host tournaments. My only issue is the tiny parking lot. But there is a garage nearby. Friendly service and good prices.

This is a decent shop if you want comics. But go elsewhere if you want card games. Over the past 6 months, Victory is no longer selling at standard prices but are inflating their card prices by 20-25% despite getting their card supply directly from the manufacturer. For example, earlier today, I went in and was told a box of Avatar MTG cards was over $210 ($174 on Amazon) so I went to Pair o' Dice and bought it at $180. Victory is super convenient for me but I won't be back. I support my local gaming store but I won't support my local gaming scalper. For shame.

As others have said, not the easiest place to find parking. Getting into the parking lot is a little bit tricky. But it really is worth it to come here! The service was great and the selection was well above average. The store is laid out in a very easy to manage way, and the selection of products is pretty terrific. You would be hard pressed to find a more complete comic and gaming store in the area. SELECTION: like I said before they have a great selection of stuff. It is divided into two sections so it's easy to find what you need. Comic books are very well laid out with a easy to find rack of new comics as well as bins of old comics. I really appreciated the family friendly area too. for the card section, they have both training cards and collectible card games. They carry things like Pokémon, Magic the Gathering , Lorcana, and Star Wars unlimited. But they have much more than just that. SERVICE: service was great! Overall, they are very helpful and it is well staffed. It was a little disorganized near the register, but can't really complain because of the great selection and the friendly attitude. COST: the value for what you get is right on the Mark. It is a place with reasonable prices and they stick relatively close to MSRP. The exceptions being what you would find at any other card shop. Right now Pokémon cards are through the roof, but at least here they are reasonable.

We had such a great time whenever we visit here. Not only do they have an amazing selection of comic books, but their collection of Pokémon and RPGs are impressive if you are fan of both trading card games. There a small section of sports memorabilia and trading cards as well. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to help find specific cards or suggest new comics to check out. They host regular game nights and tournaments, which makes it a great spot to meet other enthusiasts. The store itself has a relaxed, welcoming vibe. It is clear they really care about their customers and the hobby community. Whether you're looking for a new comic series, rare Magic cards, or just some cool Pokémon memorabilia, this is definitely the place to go. Enjoy!

As a long time customer of Victory, I have had mostly positive experiences. However, they canceled my comics subscription during a Government shutdown. They have lost me as a customer.

Great comic book selection and collectibles stuff but terrible stuff with pokemon. This place is filled with comic books and organized very neat which I will tell my friends about Lots of variety of funkos, anime, and action figures With pokemon.... sigh. Not a lot of singles, packs are overpriced cause of the skyrocketing of pokemon atm. Tried to sell some cards and the max they'll do is 10. The employee took off the card from the protector and put their fingerprints on my cards which was not okay. No other store does that neither trades with people do that which got my mind blown.

Really cool comics/TCG/tabletop/collectibles store in Falls Church. I am looking forward to playing Lorcana here at some point, though I'm not sure if I'm brave enough yet to join the league (anyone wants to play Lorcana with me?). It's even bigger than it looks from the outside, and there's so much stuff to check out that I haven't even scratched the surface in my 2 visits thus far. My only complaint would be the parking, which is not their fault, but perhaps a reconfiguration of the existing space could help.

This place came through with an item in-stock that I couldn't find anywhere. I'm happy I remembered this place and was able to get my recently-out-of-print item. Thank you!

Do not come here if you are looking for pokemon for even slightly above msrp surging sparks loose packs were $12 per

I always go here, it's such a good place to shop for comics. They even have cool figures here.

Good selection and easy checkout - a lot of great discounts for collectors I'll be back soon

Victory Comics in Falls Church has the largest selection of comic books, games, collectibles, and related stuff - of the Comic Book Stores in Virginia - that I have currently visited! They have a gaming room on one side of the building - there were quite a few folks hanging out playing games - on the rainy Sunday afternoon that I visited. Cool store! #VictoryComics

Cool store with great collection of comics, trades, games, and figures. This store has character and it feels more fun shopping here than at some other shops in the DMV.

Pros: - Good stock of comics, cards, tabletop games and Warhammer inventory - Seem like they hold frequent events - Right next to Target Cons: - Parking is terrible: they only have five or six parking spaces - Model kits and figures might be overpriced; saw a transformers item for 35 you can get for 29 - Masks are still mandatory even though I saw people eating and drinking, what's the point? It's not bad, but it's not a place I'll go unless someone takes me there or I know they have an item I need.

Big store with a lot of stock. Great customer service. These guys have lots of back issues, toys, and gaming stuff in addition to the new comics. Everything is clean and well-organized. The pricing is a little high. Definitely internet prices without taking into account shipping, handling, and process fees that online retailers must pay. I expect in-store prices to be at least 10% below the online price. They don't offer bulk discounts and all prices are firm unless you spend more than $500. That said, the prices were fair. This would be a good LCS for any subscriber. I'll be back for sure.

The people that run this store are awesome! Great to talk to friendly to my children. I can't wait to spend more time in the store when my life allows! Gareth is awesome resource for Warhammer and D&D!

I come here for the back issues and they never disappoint. I always seem to find something I want (need) ((haha)). Highly recommend if your looking to fill gaps in your collection.

Nice selection of back issues. Great selection of key issues. Lots of off brand stuff you do t normally see. Decent prices. Excellent selection of RPG material and assorted ephemera. Good to see toys and other geek swag getting shelf space too. My only real knock on this place is that most of the staff seem to be on auto-pilot. That isn't to say they aren't helpful (they are) but they don't go out of their way to engage or turn you on to new stuff. I don't know - maybe they're just tired. The big exception is the woman running the back counter for RPGs and cards - she was refreshing to speak with, helpful and very knowledgeable. Was a little disappointed to see next to no support for local indie/pro creators as well, especially after seeing the extra mile that places like Big Planet Comics and Third Eye Comics goes to do so. I'm sure they have their reasons but there's just SO much potential here. Will definitely continue to shop here and support this store.

One of the better comic book shops in the area, Victory Comics has a vast array of modern and vintage comics. Their behind the counter stock consists of such holy grails as Hulk 181 (Wolverine's first appearance) and Amazing Spider-Man 129 (the first appearance of the Punisher); however, Victory also has a sweet selection of back issues to satisfy any collector. Although not really my thing, Victory also has a nice selection of Statues and toys. Is that Thanos I see staring at me from across the room, or Superman swooping in to save the day? Victory does seem to have something for everyone. I was happy with their service, and whether your a pro or just getting into comic books, Victory Comics has a knowledge staff that can fulfill all of your comic book dreams.

Go here if you know what you are looking for. The staff can't answer basic questions regarding arrivals or what's available. This is the second time I shopped here. Not bad, but not great.

Went there two weeks ago, guy that was working seemed very unhappy to be there. Asked to see some cards inside the glass display and acted like he hates me. Also asked to see how much he would give for a card I was trying to trade in, but he didn't even do it and said that they would offer below premium. Guy was white, had glasses, and sort of tall. Terrible customer service. Worst i've seen at a comic store.

Pretty nice atmosphere overall , but looking at tcgplayer and the prices this store has for booster pack is a bit inflated , I can get a better deal From tcgplayer .

I was in need of cash and had made an appointment to sell a stack of comic books. I had in my stack walking dead 1 and 2, hulk 181 and other high prices books. I had did the math and on a conservative end the collection I was trying to sell was worth 8k. I was willing to settle for 2k. Some white guy (guessing owner) offered me 200. I turned him down. He then went on to brag about how people bring him collections like mine all the time and how he just throws it away. I asked him why doesn't he just donate to hospitals for kids. He says hospitals are the ones who ask him to get rid of the comics. Absolutely disgusted by the behavior and the sight of him bragging about filling dumpster full of comics. I tell everyone to avoid this place and tell everyone to about how they treat people looking to sell their books to this place as they are not interested in giving a fair deal.

Very clean as organized unlike most shops. Staff was very informative and helpful as well. Probably the best comic collectible store I have been in.

Great selection of comics, games,and collectibles. Pretty good set of back issues in addition to new comics and collected editions. Also really nice that they have an area dedicated to comics and other stuff for little kids.

great selection of comics and nice staff but comics are priced very high. expect to pay high prices even for non key comics.

Staff Rocks, great comic selection, lots of activities (I haven't been able to be a part of yet - but they always have lots of people there participating!) Not many stores I this 40+ mom can walk in with her 8-yr old twin sons and have us all go to opposite ends of the store and come back with happy handfuls of purchases! (Except maybe a candy store.) Love the staff, too! They are SO nice! They don't make me feel old and uncool, or my boys feel to young - they treat them like VIPs. Love this place - and highly recommend it.

Discovered this gem of a comic book shop while I was visiting DC. Lots of variety and a very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

This is the most welcoming comic book store in Northern Virginia, particularly, in my opinion, for women. While I have experienced sexism at several comic book stores in the area, the employees here are up-to-date that girls read comic books, too. The store itself is more spacious than most, so you aren't bumping elbows with everyone else in the store, and things are organized well so you can find things on your own for the most part without digging. With the addition of a parking garage nearby, it is now much easier to visit. The old parking lot had few available spots, but now when those areas run out, there is typically ample parking on the street or the nearby garage. Great location. Great selection. Great people.

Looking for a Star Trek tie bar or cologne? What about a Justice League pitcher with matching tumblers? Victory Comics has got you covered! My boyfriend is a huge comic book geek and was very impressed with the size and breadth of this store. To quote him: "This is the comic book store I dreamed about opening as a kid!" I'm not too much of an otaku like my boyfriend but I had a grand time flipping through some old Archie comics, a Game of Thrones guidebook, and watching the hodge podge of people gathering in the back for a Dungeons and Dragons throw down. I even found a New Kids on the Block comic book nestled in between some Green Lantern and X-Men back issues! This place really has some thing for everyone! Even though the demographic of the store was predominantly male, the owner was very friendly and was quick to assure me that as a girl I too, could get into gaming as well. After recently seeing a very eventful episode of Community where they play an RPG game, I might just take his word for it! Who's in?

Clean, brightly lit, large and well-organized neighborhood comic and gaming shop that might just be my new pull box location! Victory comics is an amicable mix of new and vintage comic books, great collectibles, and a huge gaming section in the back. It's geek Mecca. If you like comics--DC, Marvel, Xenoscope-- make a pilgrimage to Victory. Even if you aren't in the market to buy anything, it is worth a visit to browse the shelves. There is a pantheon of action figures, statues, hard to find items, comics, posters, and gifts. Owner/staff are friendly and knowledgeable and are easily engaged in conversation about the great finds on the shelves or speculation about where a storyline is going.

I'm not much of a comic book lover but I decided to check this place out with a friend. When I first walked in, the first thing I noticed was the fresh hardwood floor smell. It smelled like I had just walked into a new house. Besides being in love with the flooring, I really enjoyed the selection of comics they had. They had a variety of dolls and other collectibles to browse through. They also had walking dead shirts! Which was cool but I didn't get one :\. When I'm in this area, I like to stop by here just to browse and kill some time.

People complain about the white guy with glasses, I think he's more of feature than anything.

Highly recommend this store! We come here for all of our board, tabletop, card, dice game needs as well as for comics and other cool gift items! Store is well stocked, full of neat odds n ends, great selection of games, supplies, comics, guide books, and whatever else you may need! Staff are also knowledgeable and have helped me many times! Definitely check these folks out before you shop places like amazon!

What a great shop!! Perfect mix of comics, toys, statues, and gaming. And it doesn't look like someone's collection cave of stuff that they don't want to sell like a lot of comic book stores in this area. The owner and his crew are all friendly and attentive. Again, great shop!!

This business over prices a lot of its items and I understand you have to make a profit but compared to a lot of the other equal competitors they seem to overcharge the most. The guy that works in the back is not very approachable.

The staff was very rude. Echoing what others have said, they have an attitude problem consistently when trying to trade in/sell to them.

I love coming to Victory Comics but my experience today left a bad taste in my mouth. I came in to pick up a comic I ordered and the manager was friendly. I went to the register and told the gentleman (Caucasian, dark hair, wearing glasses) that I was here to pick up my comics. He looked at me like I was a complete idiot and said "a lot of people come in to pick up comics. I need more to go off of. Name or box number?". I responded by saying that I was being kind to him and that his attitude was uncalled for. He didn't even look up at me but instead just responded, "okay." I hope his behavior is not what you guys deem a good representation of your company.

I love this store. I love coming in and seeing all the old Stan lee comics and all the action figures too this is been my kids favriot store as well. And the staff is super great the quality is great. So come on down to victory comics today

I primarily go to Victory Comics for the board games and RPGs they have. They tend to have a very good selection and reasonable prices. They also have a cork-board between their comics room and games room for people to post their "looking for games" notes. They have a few folding tables in the back of the games room for the gamers, but they are frequently occupied by Magic the Gathering folks or other CCG players. I should also mention that unlike some other games stores in the DC area, Victory Comics keeps their bathroom clean and that definitely helps foster their welcoming atmosphere.

Impossible to find a good deal here. Yes, they have key books, but you're better off just buying them on feebay. It's unfortunate too because everyone dreams of going to a comics store and rooting through the dollar bins and finding gold. Here there is no such thing as a dollar bin. Also, it always seems like they're out of stock for the supplies I need whenever I go there.

New to the area, and always looking for a LGS to play magic at. This place had good reviews so I went. If you're a regular magic player this store is not for you. Way over priced in every way. They only cater to winning players, and even then the prize support is very minimal at best. Save your money, save your time, and go some where else or buy online. Or take your business to MTGO or MTGA

Great, friendly store with a good selection of singles and softcover collections, and a couple of shelves of deluxe or prestige hardcover books. There is a sizable gaming shop attached to the store as well.

1. Great selection of board games, comics, and hobby supplies. 2. Great place to play magic the gathering. I come here for occasionally for pre-release other events and I've always had a fun time. Their events smooth and quick, without much delays in-between rounds. 3. The store is CLEAN and well lit with lots of space. I believe they can fit 80+ players for a magic event. 4. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Except, there is an older gentleman who works there that seems to have an attitude with customers. 5. The store itself is a poke-stop.

Overpriced products and rude staff. Like others I also had a negative experience with the white glasses wearing man.

Back in the day I was the girl a the comic shop, when there were lots of comic shops around. Fast forward 20 -some- odd years and most of the comic shops in the area are long since gone as was my habit of visiting them. One of my favorite writers came out of hiding and it led me to look around for a local shop and Victory Comics (according to Yelp) was the place to go. I sat in the parking lot for a good 5 minutes just looking at the sheer size of the place, it is huge! I went in (walking past the rape-y vibe van parked by the door) and stepped in side....and immediately felt like a stranger in a strange land. I walked up and down the isles of comics, graphic novels, trades, toys and collectibles. I never wandered over to the game side (another casualty of technology, gaming stores and comic stores are now often one and the same) but in the end, I didn't even know where to start. Have no fear, as I stood there feeling totally out of place and out of my league, their super helpful, and surprisingly not snobby staff (much like record stores there is a stigma with working at a comic book store) asked me if I needed help....a few minutes later, feeling much more at ease, I made my purchases and departed feeling like I'd been reunited with an old friend. Thank you Victory Comics! I"ll see you soon!

I inherited a large golden age collection and Victory Comics helped me quickly understand it's condition and value. It was a great experience. I recommend and would use them again!

My boyfriend and I came in on a Saturday and were really enjoying browsing the store. They have a huge collection of comics and also have a separate table area set up for playing games and painting War Hammer figurines. There are a ton of board games, but you could probably buy them cheaper on Amazon. So why not a full five stars? Remember Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons? Well, he works here and is just as pleasant in person. The boyfriend started to ask Comic Book Guy (CBG) about Magic Cards and this guy seemed terribly pained by it. He might as well have been suffering through the last three episodes of BSG on repeat when it comes to dealing with sad n00bs all day. He was only kind of nice when the boy asked for some Land cards. We spent 10 minutes filtering through several boxes of unsorted Land cards from various Magic editions. The price for these cards is very decent. The boy managed to get 78 Land cards for around 8$! Then my boyfriend asked him about Magic tournaments using older decks and asked what edition constituted a legacy deck. My boyfriend had played Magic as a kid and wasn't up to date with the new lingo. CBG was annoyed by this. My boyfriend was the new thorn in his side and would just. Not. Go. Away. CBG's response was more or less: "Don't know what a legacy deck for Magic Cards is, you peon!? GAWD! Look it up online!" My boyfriend didn't take as much offense as I did, but as a new Magic player myself, I felt that his behavior was off-putting and made me self-conscious about asking questions about the game. Two stars off for the unnecessarily pretentious behavior.

I will start off by saying this is a very large store and a favorite for when we are looking for board games. However, I do wish the staff was more female friendly. I always go with my SO and they always address him instead of me which irks me. I am actually the one more interested in comic books so it offends me when I can go through the entire store without being addressed while my SO is pestered a little too much. Not ALL of the staff is like this, of course, but more than often this happens. It would also be helpful if they highlighted some comics with females as the main character or if they had a lady comic book night to make the store more female friendly!! Parking lot is VERY SMALL.
