Great selection! My daughter got a super hero pen that didnt work, they took it back a week later without issue and let her pick a new one out!I grabbed a fresh set of dice for my new Dungeons and Dragons character, and didnt have a problem finding one that fit his theme.. in fact, I had trouble deciding between three sets! Dice are also actually cheaper at the shop than what I was paying for shipping alone for dice online! Of course, some are going to be more expensive, but theyre worth it.Would definitely visit again!

Highly recommended! I go to a lot of comic shops and this one sticks out to me. Not a great big shop but had a fair selection with fair prices! Workers were kind and respectful and cut me a little big of a deal!

A smaller comic shop, but still a good variety of new comics, graphic novels, action figures and board games.Have been shopping at this store since they were located nearby on State St. a few years ago, and further down on Rt 6 more than a decade ago when I would buy some Star Wars Insider magazines when the prequel trilogy was coming out.

Google maps makes it a little difficult to find since youll be parking behind the store, but inside youll find a store packed with trade paperbacks, graphic novels, lots of current comics, some back issues and a good selection of games. I was expecting more from the back issue section, but the current issue racks went back several months which was nice. The owner/employee on hand was nice and nothing was jacked up in price.

As the name states this place truly is amazing. From the selection they have to the staff on duty it is professional from beginning to end. They really take the time to listen to what your interests are and have never disappointed me with their recommendations. If they dont have it they will try and find it to get it in. Their pricing really is the best...better than other book stores. They really cater to those who dont follow traditional societal reading selections. If youre looking for an escape from the daily norm and the monotonous grind this is the place for you!

This place has so many choices to choose from! Marvel, manga, KISS Zombies, board games, I couldn’t decide when I initially got here! I ended up buying a Sailor V manga book. I’m definitely coming back here next chance I get!

I normally feel welcomed here. Especially when the owner, Joe, is around. Whoever is working there is usually talkative and rarely argues with you.

Everyone is cool no matter who is working. It definitely feels better to support the local shop for my pull list I switched over from Graham cracker on my first visit! Plus theyre always organizing local nerd related events 😊

I am a new parents with a baby girl and my daughter and I come to the store for comics every Wednesday since we recently moved to the area. The staff are more then nice to us my girls going through that faze where she wants to grab everything and the staff has been understanding and wonderful. Today I finally found a minute to go get comics and sadly upon arrival I found that my daughter had fallen asleep in her car seat and the cashier let me pay from my car and brought me out my comics so I didnt have to wake up my baby to come inside. This is a great store staffed by good people and that is something truly hard to find these days.

Ive been shopping at this store since 2002 (at previous location) and have never been disappointed. Even when I cant get there for months on end my pull list is there for me. When any mistakes are made they take care of it immediately! The owner and employees have always been polite and extremely helpful with any questions I might have. Also, they have just about everything! It is always worth the trip to visit this shop.

Just visited this place as my usual LCS was closed. WOW!! Walked in with my daughter to pick up a few issues of doomsday clock. Was greeted immediately with a friendly hello. The nice woman who worked there asked right away if she can help, then showed me where I can find the comics. She Also recommended other comics based on some small talk. Overall an extremely pleasant experience and was treated very well. I will be spending more money here.
