Super knowledgeable and friendly staff! They helped me find what I was looking for (DC absolute) and gave me even more suggestions. From comics, to figurines, to book, vintage or more modern, it’s a great “Ali Baba’s cabe” right by Union Square
I went in looking for the new Godzilla Marvel team up, but had no idea where to start as I’m not a big comic collector. When I walked in and asked the staff they were incredibly helpful! Two people helped me find all the stock they had, they even went and checked the special variant covers for me and found a few that were not with the regular stock. Really great store that’s been around forever, and friendly helpful staff. They even got my girlfriend a chair to sit in while they helped me! Top marks!
I placed my order on 7/16 and package arrived on 7/21! A bundle of joy packaged with care. Both of my local comic shops were sold out, so thank you for a great online ordering experience!
Really cool spot that is well stocked with comics, toys, and pop culture paraphernalia! Staff is friendly, and there's fan service in play for every fandom. Well worth a visit.
