Heroes World is a small store in the plaza on the north-east corner of Warden and Highway 7. They have a ton of nerd-like things including trading cards, figures, comic books, board games, t-shirts, etc etc. When you walk in, you can instantly see what type of store this is and if you’re one of those people, you’ll love it. They have everything in a given spot and every shelf is organized neatly and the store in general is extremely clean. The staff in particular are extremely friendly and are very knowledgeable. My girlfriend went there to find a board game and one of the staff members were able to list out two or three that he thought would be good for her and listed out the reasons why. The staff also make sure to ask you if you’re looking for something, help you and don’t pressure you into buying something you may or may not want. There’s something here for everyone. My personal favourite shelf is where the Pop! Vinyl figures are. They have a large shelf dedicated to these alone. I’m not a comic book person but if you are, I highly recommend checking this place out as they have walls upon walls of them. I also recommend this place for anyone looking for TCG cards(Magic, Pokémon, etc) as they tend to be cheaper here than anywhere else I’ve been to. They also have a huge selection of board games that you can check out too. They also hold weekly tournaments and get-togethers there for several games and TCGs including Magic and Dungeons and Dragons. They have a schedule right inside the store(when you walk in, it’s literally right in front of you). I’ve never been to any of them so I can’t really vouch on how good they are. All in all, I highly recommend this place for just about anyone. I’ve brought a few friends here and they’ve all loved it here. Go and satisfy your inner-nerd here!

THISSTOREISSOBADASS! Its like my nerdiness exploded and perfectly shelved all its contents! I had read some awesome reviews and heard that they had some POP! Vinyls, so went to check it out. An awesome little store with all the nerd gear you could possibly want! Comics and manga, to board games and figurines! Definitely a go-to place if you’re looking for any of that kind of stuff! Was really happy to see they had the library versions of Avatar: The Last Airbender(though I already have them). My friend wanted to see if they had any Futurama comics, but unfortunately they didn’t. Had quite a few Vinyls in stock, but none that I was currently looking for. Not a big deal! Overall super friendly staff, very attentive and willing to help you however they can. A bit odd to me personally that majority of the stuff in store didn’t have price tags, but you can always just ask.

I started going to this place a few months ago, and immediately took to it. I go once a week after work to play Warhammer 40k and have done a Friday Night Magic. The staff know their stuff and treat customers like valued friends. This is a great place to go for long time players and people looking to get into a game. Staff have zero geek-snobbery and the store’s regulars are friendly and welcoming. Fair prices, and a great selection of Magic and other trading card games, Warhammer 40k models, boardgames, comics and related gear.

I drive all the way from toronto to Markham for this place! Love the staff here – all of them are super friendly and nice guys, and know just how to make you feel welcome and keep you coming back. They hold tons of regular events(I.e. 40k skirmishes, street fighter tournaments etc) as well as special events(the most recent being the launch for Elektra where mike del mundo came in for signing). If there’s anything I ever need to preorder or order in, these guys will definitely have you covered and do the best they can to get you what you want. I’ve called in asking to set something aside for a few days, and they’ve happily accommodated me(no hint of annoyance or cattiness you get from some other comic shops). They check their Facebook page really often too, so if a phone call isn’t an option, they reply well within a day if you leave a comment, post or message. I’ve had a few things saved for me in this way and I always love how quickly they get back to you and how happy they are to help you. There’s very few comic shops out there that I like, and heroes world is easily my first choice to give my business to. These guys truly deserve it the most.

Love this damn place! Small, cozy and friendly staff. I started to visit Heroes World when they were still located at Hwy 7 and Kennedy. Nothing has changed since the move — still a great place to hang out and get caught up with Heroes stuff, y’all know? It’s not a super big place like the stores downtown with 2 levels of comics and toys, but it’s sufficient for the casual enthusiasts! Comic selection isn’t huge, but they got all the goodies, so I can’t complain! Enough selection of toys, especially now they have Funko Pop vinyl figures. At the back, there’s room for groups to cast their Magic Cards and whatnot. Overall a great place… Did I mention the staff are über friendly and helpful? :) Good job guys, keep it up!

When people think about comic shops, the first thing they think of is a dark, dank, environment with boxes toppling over one another. This is not the case with Heroes World. Heroes World is a well lit, clean, shop — with friendly and knowledgeable staff. You will not find the sarcastic comic book store guy behind the counter here. Instead, you’ll find people who can recommend the best titles that came out on Wednesday. Or, you might glean some information about a new board game. Not only does Heroes World sell comic books, but they also have a range of board games, and figures, and clothing. If you want to indulge your inner-geek on an extensive shopping spree, or just play a couple rounds of Magic: The Gathering, there is no place better.
