A Little About Us

Welcome, if this is the first time at our site. The Watcher Comics, as the name suggests, is a comic shop. We specialize in trade paper backs, graphic novels, and recent singles. That said, we also carry a wide selection of card games, board games, tee shirts and video games. If there is something you need, geek related, we likely have it. Check it out.

Our store is found at 2198 Queen St. East, just on the corner of Queen East and Balsam. We are open every day except for Mondays. Our hours are:

  • Closed Monday
  • Tuesday: 12:00-6:00
  • Wednesday: 10:00-8:00
  • Thursday: 12:00-8:00
  • Friday: 12:00-8:00
  • Saturday: 10:00-8:00
  • Sunday: 10:00-7:00

So come on down and check us out, 'cause you need your comics, and we totally have them. Serious.

Comics, Trades, Graphic Novels.

Right now, our selection for single issue comics is mostly set around Marvel, DC, Darkhorse, and Vertigo. We see some singles come in from other smaller press, but usually only by request from customers.

Our trades and graphic novel selection is much more broad in scope, and is what we take most pride in. Also, we are constantly trying to improve this section of our market, so if there is something you were looking for, we will try our best to get it for you. We carry a fair bit of manga as well, and once again are on the look out for the next direction to take our collection.

Finally, It should be mentioned that our books, both comics and RPGs are always offered at U.S. Cover Price!

Card Games

We have several different card games for sale right now, including:

  • Magic the Gathering
  • Vampire the Eternal Struggle
  • Pokemon
  • Chaotic
  • Eve
  • World of Warcraft
  • And Several others

Though we are not currently running any on site games for any of our card games, we do have the space for gaming. Interested in running a game here? Check out our games page for a rundown of what you need to do.

 

Board Games, and Table Top Games
Our board game collection is constantly growing, and is something we suggest checking on location at any time. Our favorite games here tend to come from Steve Jackson Games, or Fantasy Flight. As for table top minis, we still have a full collection of Heroclix on site, DandD Minis and Starwars Minis. We finally have an extensive collection of Battletech figures and rule books, and run Battletech down here every Sunday. Check the Battletech Page for more info on this
Role Playing Games

We couldn't come to you, hat in hand, and and tell you we are a geek style retail outlet without Role Playing Games. You should be excited, by the way, about the new release of Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition. It's good. No, serious, it's real good. If you are currently playing D&D, you should have a copy of the core 4th Edition books.

You are in luck, we have them. Come on and get your set.

But Dungeons and Dragons is only one of the many RPGs we stock. Also found on location:

  • World of Darkness (and all it's sub catagories)
  • Exalted
  • Legend of the Five Rings
  • Traveller
  • Mutants and Masterminds
  • D20 Modern
  • Paranoia
  • And Many Many More

Currently, we don't carry either Palladium or Gurps, simply due to the massive amount of books both systems have out. That said, we can order in most of the books for these systems, at your request

Speaking of RPGs, Free RPG Day is coming quick (June 21st). Check out our What's New post to get more info on this exciting day.

Video Games

Yes, we carry only new video games, for all of the consules

  • Wii
  • Playstation (both 2 and 3)
  • X-Box and X-Box 360
  • Nintendo DS
  • PSP

We try to make sure we get a couple copies of all new games as they come in, but if there is a game you simply must have, feel free to pre order through us.

Our newest games, by the way, include Indiana Jones for all systems, Hulk for Wii, X-Box 360, and both Playstation systems, and Metal Gear Solid 4 for the Playstation 3. We also have one Limited Edition God of War PSP still in stock, at least for the next few days

 

Tee Shirts!
Why, do you ask, does this get an exclamation mark? Well, Tee Shirts are a new market for us, and we are moderately excited. Our Tee Shirt selection is changing constantly, and spreads much further than just Super Hero Logos (though it does of course include Super Hero Logos). We have many styles, and sizes, from kids up to adult. Most of our designs are unisex, but we do also get a few womens tees as well. This is a product you have to come see for yourself.
