Metropolis Comics Anime and More

Metropolis Comics Anime and More is a collectibles store at 250 E Palm Dr, Suite 470, in Florida City, serving the Homestead area. Comics, Funko POP figures and anime figures fill most of the shelves, and Pokémon cards sit alongside them. It suits a browsing collector who wants cards, comics and figures from one counter more than a player looking for a tournament room.

What's on the shelves

Pokémon is the only card game the store carries. The Pokémon stock runs from booster packs and starter sets to individual cards, including classic Charizards and Pikachus, holographic editions and promo cards. The store also keeps hard-to-find cards for collectors chasing something specific, and it runs special deals and limited-edition releases from time to time.

Cards are one part of a broader pop culture inventory. Comics range from classic superhero titles to the issue a collector has been hunting, Funko POP figures are sold for completing a collection, and anime figurines cover the current popular characters. A shopper after a single comic issue, a figure and a pack of cards can cover all three in one visit.

Events and the convention booth

The store hosts events with signings and meet-and-greets, along with exclusive and limited-edition releases. It is also a partner of Homestead ComicCon, where it runs a booth of limited-edition items, rare finds and convention-only merchandise. At the convention the store hosts signings and meet-and-greet sessions with names from comics and anime, so attendees can bring memorabilia to be autographed.

No weekly game nights or organized-play programs are tied to the store, so the draw here is shopping and fan events rather than a standing Pokémon league.

How the store runs

The staff help on the card side by tracking down specific cards and offering tips for building a deck. That makes it a workable stop for someone returning to the game or starting out, as well as for an established collector looking for a particular promo or holographic card.

Getting there

The store sits in Suite 470 at 250 E Palm Dr in Florida City, at the southern end of the Homestead area.
