IMAGINATION IS YOUR SUPERPOWER!
After more than 16 years (and counting) OTHER WORLDS GAMES & COMICS stands as a beloved and thriving destination for table-top games, comics, and pop culture enthusiasts. Our store is not only a hub for eclectic and otherworldy merchandise, but also a vibrant gathering place for amazing comics and fun gaming events, including weekly Magic and Pokemon events for all ages, and Magic and D&D day-camps and after school events tailored for middle-grade kids. Throughout the years, we have emerged as a pillar within the SW Portland community, providing a welcoming sanctuary for youth seeking a safe space to embrace their unique qualities and unleash their boundless imaginations.
Under the dedicated and near-tireless stewardship of owner Ronald Connell, Other Worlds has flourished since its opening in 2007. We recently celebrated our 16th birthday, marking a significant milestone in our journey as a trusted establishment within the gaming and comics landscape.
Our “WHY”
“Imagination is your superpower” is our tagline. We believe this conveys a powerful message about the potential of imagination.
“Imagination” : Emphasizes the capacity to envision possibilities, think creatively, and explore new realms of thought. Especially for our youth.
“Is your” : Re-enforces that imagination is an inherent quality within every individual and that everyone possesses the ability to tap into their imagination and unleash its power.
“Superpower” : Draws a parallel between imagination and the extraordinary abilities often associated with superheroes, who populate so many of the comics that we sell. We believe that imagination can be a remarkable and transformative force, just like a superpower and has the potential to transcend limitations, solve problems, and achieve remarkable feats.
We believe imagination is a potent and valuable resource that can be harnessed and leveraged to bring about positive change and innovation. Our selected mix of products combined with store events and a creatively stimulating environment, encourages individuals to recognize the inherent power within their own imagination and to embrace it as a superpower that can fuel personal growth, creative endeavors, and problem-solving.
We aspire to INSPIRE individuals, more notably the youth, to unlock the full potential of their imagination, recognizing it as a unique and powerful asset that can lead to extraordinary achievements and make a meaningful difference in their lives and the world around them.
Our “WHAT”
In this post-pandemic era, we strongly advocate for the revitalization of in-person gaming and the shared joy of hobbies like comics. We believe that now, more than ever, it is crucial to come together, physically connect, and engage in the immersive experiences that these activities provide.
Through our variety of products, our events, and our youth camps we are dedicated to fostering a strong sense of community and cultivating a family-friendly games and comic culture. We firmly believe that engaging in games and hobbies contributes to a happier planet.
By providing a safe, inspiring environment for young individuals, we offer them an escape from the demands of everyday life and encourage them to tap into their imaginations!
With over 16 years of experience, Other Worlds Games & Comics has proudly served the SW and greater Portland community and continues to grow.
We are committed to maintaining our status as THE premier hobby gaming and pop culture center for the people of southwest and greater Portland for many years to come.
