Silver Snail
Silver Snail is one of Toronto's most loved comic book stores. In addition to comics, Silver Snail stocks action figures, manga, models, role playing games, trading cards and DVDs.

too bad everyone who works there is a pretentious ass and their customer service in general sucks.
definitely not worth of first place.

Unfair, Z. I've always had great relationships with the staff at the Snail.

Well, I can't really say anything about the staff. But I will say that, for such a popular and busy shop, they don't give you a free bag and board when you buy a book there (unless it's a back issue). Considering some other, less famous stores, do, I can't think of why they don't. But if you're a collector and you're buying 6 or more books every month, you're gonna go where they treat you best . . . like One Million Comix, where you get a free bag and board. The snail does have a good selection of Action Figures though, and their back issues selection is great.

Nothing is free dude. They just charge for it elsewhere otherwise they'd go out of business.

Does this place have RPG games? Can I meet other RPG players (ie D&D) at this store?

In my experience, I find the customer service to be a bit snobby as well. I recently needed to find some back issues of Batman, and received little to no help from the staff at the Snail, but had an awesome experience at another store (Grey Region). I've been to other stores that offer free bags and boards, and it's little perks like that will make me go back to them (and away from the Snail).

If 'I ask' for it, I should be given a bag and a board. Well, with the new laws maybe I should toss them a nickel.
