Action Comics & Sports

A Henderson mainstay where comic long-boxes meet Pokemon singles, sports packs, and a deep shelf of board games and tabletop supplies on Boulder Highway.

Action Comics & Sports has anchored its corner of North Boulder Highway for years, and the shelves show it: new-release comics and graphic novels up front, trading cards and sports packs along the walls, and a back stretch of board games, miniatures, statues, and tabletop supplies. It is the kind of broad hobby shop where a comics reader, a Pokemon collector, and a board-game group all leave with something.

Card collectors come for the spread. There is a solid wall of Pokemon product and singles, sports packs for ripping, and supplies to protect whatever you pull. Staff lean knowledgeable and approachable — they will point a new reader toward an entry comic, steer a collector to the right cards, or place a special order when something is not in stock. A few reviewers note that prices on certain cards can run above online market, so it pays to know what you are after.

The store doubles as a gathering spot, with room for tabletop play and a steady rotation of regulars who treat the counter as a hangout. That community feel is a big part of why it stays on every short list of Henderson card shops.

Hours are dependable: 11am to 9pm Monday through Saturday and 11am to 5pm Sunday, so evening browsing is easy. Parking is simple, the aisles are walkable, and the staff are happy to talk shop whether you are chasing a key issue or a chase card.
