Mike’s Comics and Games

Mike's Comics and Games is a comic shop and game store in downtown New Baltimore, Michigan, that doubles as a neighborhood play space. It stocks comics for all ages alongside board games, collectible card games, role-playing games and miniatures, and it keeps a calendar full enough that something is usually happening on any day it is open. It suits Magic players looking for a Friday night tournament, families who want a place to sit down and play, and Dungeons and Dragons newcomers who need someone to walk them through a first character.

What's on the shelves

Comics are the backbone: titles from Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, IDW and Image, plus a line of kid-friendly comics for younger readers. The games side covers board games, collectible card games, role-playing games, miniature games and paints. Magic: The Gathering, the One Piece Card Game and the Digimon Card Game are the card games with regular play at the store, and Union Arena and Riftbound have weekly events too. Playmats, mugs, water bottles, pint glasses and hoodies are sold in the shop and through an online swag store.

Weekly play

Friday night is Magic night, with an organized tournament at 7 PM that welcomes beginners and experienced players alike. Riftbound locals also start at 7 PM on Fridays.

Casual games and Commander continue after the tournament, and regulars are willing to help newer players with deckbuilding and strategy.

Organized play and events

Game Day falls on the third Saturday of every month. It is a family-friendly event where games hit the tables from opening time until the early hours of the morning, and staff will teach games to anyone who wants to learn something new. The shop stocks games for the whole family, from young children to adults.

Adventurers League sessions for Dungeons and Dragons run on a regular schedule through each month, set in the Forgotten Realms. Seasoned Dungeon Masters help first-timers build a character, which makes it a workable entry point for people who have always wanted to try the game.

Prereleases are part of the calendar too. The Magic: The Gathering | Star Trek Prerelease runs November 6 and 7, 2026, and it replaces Friday Night Magic that week. The $48 entry includes a Prerelease Pack with six booster packs, a promo card and a spindown life counter, and players build a deck of at least 40 cards from the pool. Prizes go to the top finishers. Riftbound prerelease and release events are planned as new product arrives.

The store also joins the wider hobby calendar. It takes part in Game Store Game Day 2026, playing in the shop and streaming live all day, and it ran one-shot adventures for Free RPG Day 2026, including Magical Kittens, a light role-playing game for all ages. Everything needed to play was provided and the adventure was free.

Space and amenities

The back of the store is set up as a family-friendly play area with a large selection of games to choose from, and customers are welcome to bring their own. A fully stocked selection of pop, energy drinks and soft drinks sits alongside a wide range of snacks, so a long session does not mean leaving for food.

Hours and getting there

The store is at 36121 Green St in New Baltimore. It is open four days a week.

Friday's tournament starts an hour after the doors would otherwise close, so evening events run past the posted weekday hours.
