Heroes Comics & Cards

Heroes Comics & Cards is a traditional comics and gaming store at 194 Main St in Norwalk, Connecticut, open since 1995. It is first a comic shop, with current issues, trade paperbacks and graphic novels on the racks, and it doubles as the local home for Magic: The Gathering, with booster boxes on the shelves and sanctioned tournaments on the calendar. It suits comic readers who also play Magic, and Magic players who like their game store to feel like a comic shop.

What's on the shelves

The core of the store is comics: a full line of current titles, along with trade paperbacks and graphic novels. Around that sits the usual comic-shop assortment of t-shirts, toys and statues, plus limited-edition collectibles that come and go.

Magic is the one card game the store is stocked for in depth. Shelves carry booster packs and boxes, Collector booster boxes and Commander decks.

Magic events

The store has carried Magic and run tournaments since it opened in 1995. The early events were small and unsanctioned, mostly a way to introduce people to the game. Today the events are fully sanctioned by the DCI, and the slate includes Friday Night Magic, pre-release tournaments for each new Magic set, and Launch Parties.

Every event includes prizes, and pizza and soda are offered. Friday Night Magic is the weekly anchor, a regular night for hanging out with friends, meeting new players and sharpening your game. The Friday Night Magic start time and entry fee are not fixed here, so confirm both with the store before making the trip.

History

Heroes opened in 1995, and Magic has been part of the business from the start. That makes it one of the longer-running game and comic stores in the area, with a tournament tradition that grew from informal demo games into a sanctioned event program.
