  Quaint, welcoming, diverse and bursting with quality products. The Launchpad offers the quintessential "comic shop" experience. The owner, Mike is a steadfast presence as he takes up post behind the retail counter. His kind demeanor is a welcome presence in small business focused Lodi; he is both curious and knowledgeable. The shop is well lit, organized, and lived-in, which makes any shopper who meanders through its volumes feel welcome and unrushed. They have a robust selection of reading material which is consistently updated; newly released and previous comics, children's books, RPG and h

  For a small comic book store I really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, helpful, & they have a nice selection of comics, cards, & little statues in the back. I’m definitely going to come back here from time to time & purchase more comics & cards. Definitely a vibe. Only thing that would really improve the place would just be more collectibles (Funko Pops, Statues, Toys, figurines, plushies) Even without those though? Store is a still a vibe

  Great place for a WIDE variety of tabletop games. They have a lot of table space. They have snacks and cold drinks available. And it's located near restaurants if you're planning on a long day of gaming. The only negative is a lack of A/C on hot days.

  I love this local shop. Very cool atmosphere. Very organized and clean. New release comic books are displayed nicely along the main wall... Back issue comics are towards the back of the store.. Various games are also sold through out the store including Pokemon, Magic, etc. Trades and manga could be found near the back issue section as well. Everything is well-priced. I love that this store stocks up on comic book supplies such as cool design short boxes, boards and bags, other accessories... all at very reasonable prices.

  Seriously Great place to play rpg BOARDGAMES, D&D and Card games like Magic! Did I mention Tournaments? Yeah, there is tournaments, often with prizes! Great selection of current and past issue COMIC BOOKS. If you can't find it, they will hunt it down and order it! They carry a good amount of POP VINYL figures and some others as well. Also a great rescource for paint and supplies for those who paint their own miniatures for rpg games and models. OH! they sell METROPOLIS, ART MONSTER and DARK KNIGHT COFFEE by the pound, wholebean and ground. Place is awesome! One building west of Taco Bell
