Omar’s World of Comics
About
Omar’s World of Comics is a Lexington comic shop, game center and restaurant under one roof. Shelves hold comic books, graphic novels and manga, along with Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon cards and board games, and the space includes an arcade, video games and a LAN and esports center. Players come for Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games, tournaments and clubs, while Omar’s Bistro serves pizza and burgers from a from-scratch kitchen.
The business is named for Omar Masood, a young man with Down syndrome who graduated from the LABBB special education collaborative at Lexington High School. He and his family opened the shop in January 2018 to give back to the community that supported him. It is partnered with LABBB as a vocational training center for students with special needs in the area.
