WOW! The spread is expansive. They have new releases, out-of-prints, collectors editions, popular titles, obscure names; you want it, I’m betting they’ll have it. Even had some Pops and figurines that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Such a great addition to the greater area; easily accessible by public transport and plenty of street parking. Will be going back for my next reads.

Incredible finds! Super glad Google recommended this place. It’s very cozy, has lots of variety, and I really appreciated the attention we received. My nephew found what he was looking for and I’m super grateful someone helped out in Spanish. They even took down my information to order something for me. Hands down a super place! Thank you for everything.

Amazing store had all you could want in new comics and back issues. Prices were reasonable, considering you can see the NYC skyline just across the way. Friendly staff is super engaging for even for out of towners.

This place is an amazing comic book store. It's a bit distant to get to, but if you use the light rail, you'll be able to get there. I highly recommend the place, as they have a variety of old and new comics and a bunch of trade paperbacks.

Very well organized place. Has a ton of stuff in stock. New releases and back issues. Much more inventory than some of the other places in northern NJ I’ve been to. Really nice and helpful staff.
