Resistance Comics & Games is now offering a variety of comic books and specialty games in Roanoke.

The breakdown

The store had a soft opening at the end of October and sells comic book brands such as DC Comics, Marvel Comics and American Caper.

Resistance Comics & Games also has trading cards, books, board games and games like 7 Wonders. The inventory is geared toward both children and adults.

Along with games and comics, Resistance Comics & Games hosts game nights and opened its game space Jan. 6, according to a Facebook post. Every day except Monday, patrons can come and play board games, card games or participate in tournaments in the store’s back room gaming space.


The shop also is a WPN store, meaning it can host official Magic: The Gathering events and get promotional materials exclusive to that product.

What’s next?

Resistance Comics & Games will have a grand opening event in the near future, according to a social media post.

Signage for the store was put up Dec. 5 at the old ZenXtreme Yoga and Fitness Studio location, which relocated to Trophy Club in March, according to previous reporting.
