Sort of like a TARDIS, bigger on the inside than the outside. It stretches further back π, but, space π is tight inside with all the merchandise. It was really crampt during Free comic book day!.I knew and worked for Ralph DiBenardo decades ago when he owned the Comic Relief in Portsmouth, NH. He does have a good head for business and Jetpack Comics survived the pandemic through online ordering. I read a recent interview in the Hippo π¦ Press ποΈ newspaper and I π€ thought I would stop by, see π the store, which I havent visited in years, get a free π comic and search ππ for a comic book/graphic novel I was looking for. Fosters Daily Democrat π° was there taking pictures.The staff were very helpful and I stumped them with my question about a comic book I was looking for. Together, we found out its an online comic that is now very expensive. They like there boss from the way they talk about him.If you are a comic book, fanboy or gaming enthusiast, I recommend this store. I like the Batman pinball machine they have there.
The people behind the counter are extremely knowledgeable happy and helpful! Great place!
The staff was so friendly and helpful, there was so many scheduled events and the store is stocked with exactly what I needed. I will be coming here more often
Jetpack is the best place to go for your comic book or gaming needs! They have a wide variety of genres for both and I have never had a bad experience there ever. The staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming and if they dont have what im looking for, they make great recommendations for similar products.
Awesome store. There is a pinball machine in the back!
This was a nice find was in the area and dig a Google search, this place was so much more then what what was on there website. Great for comics, board games, and RPGs.
Had a great time at Jetpack today ..drove 2 1/2 hrs from mass to pick up 2 exclusive The Last Ronins 2 and 4 ..very happy with my new books thanx guys worth the trip
Ive been coming to jetpack since I was a little kid and I dont plan to stop just going to jetpack lets me find things to get into or try and I love their selection.
Place is great! Super kind workers, easy to strike up a conversation with and just feels good! Always better to support small business by buying from places like this instead of online! I will be shopping here more often!
My all time favorite comic book store but it is so much more than just that. I cant wait to bring my daughter to free comic book day its so cool to go check everything out and enjoy a great place with a great crew of people who work there and have always been able to answer any questions I had. Overall a great place!
Highly recommend! First off the staff - when I walk in they know my name, my pull list, what I order and I go in every other month and my pull list isnt huge. They have customer service down. An amazing experience, tons of merchandise and most of all the best in the business. How I am treated makes me recommend Jetpack highly AND makes me keep coming back. A huge thank you to this great local business!!
Big fan of Jetpack! Theres not alot of brick and mortar comic book stores still around and this is a good one. Staff are friendly and always have great recommendations.
Really solid spot in downtown Rochester, tons of collectibles, board games and comics with a super friendly staff that always seen genuinely excited to help
Full of friendly, insightful dudes! Awesome products, safe, clean atmosphere, been bringing my family here for years! A true gem in downtown Rochester, were lucky to have you β€
Great little hole in the wall comic shop good oriole in there very knowledgeable and respectful
Cool comic store that always has cool employees. Always a cool selection as well. Have killer deals occasionally and when they used to do Free Comic Book Day they went hard and made it a fun community event.Ralph, the owner is cool and why am I still ranting? Like Dr Brule said check it out.
Great selection and a super nice staff. Best comic book store around for sure.
Lots of DnD supplies, pretty much anything you could need to start playing. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ill be going here again for additional supplies.
Love love love this store, I cant wait to rebuild my magic card collection.
Awesome place. Been here before. Very wide selection as well as indie publishers.
Can I give 6 stars? Seriously though, these guys are amazing. Reached out about what I guess you could call a special order and they were super flexible. I was told on Saturday that my order would ship by Monday...well I RECEIVED it on Monday! Seriously! Thats Amazon shipping speed! I wish I lived nearby so I could shop here in person. Thanks again guys!!!
Great place for comics and games and the staff is very friendly.
Awesome shop! Neat, clean and organized. Iβm active duty and get deployed often and even when Iβm gone they hold onto my comics for when I return. They also are very helpful and friendly!
Jetpack anything com I like this place its where I go for my comics and collecting my toys . They also have a section for play games and having fun with friends there cool people to.
Our family have been customers for years from our oldest children to our 9 year old which we took a few days ago for his birthday. He was so excited! As parents we were impressed by their safety considerations with the pandemic - we appreciated it and felt comfortable going and will go again soon because of it. Everything has always been very organized and clean with an awesome variety of things and collectables. They have something for everyone. Our brains are happy when we go there and our brains leave with a smile. Friendly and knowledgeable service which trickles down from the owners - it is a positive place! We are grateful and lucky to have a place like this in the area and worth visiting if you are not from the area.
This is the best place for miles around to get your geek on. even when you want to explore graphic novels, get recommendations, or some gaming miniatures this is the place. The staff are very caring and always willing to help you find a new story to dive into. I highly recommend them and thats no easy feat coming from this reviewer.
Fabulous shop! Stosh Szatko rocks!
Theyre always helpful and answer all our questions. You can tell how passionate the store is about the things they sell too! It always gets me and my husband more enthusiastic about our purchases
Excellent little shop! Great selection and they have things you wouldnt expect to find!
Best comics place in the area. Historic place famous fire the ninja turtles.
Dont recommend. Went to get some pokemon cards and they were absolutely scalping. Wholesale for a tin of shining fates is $30 and they were selling them for $60. There is a difference between being a private business to make profit and being absolute scum and doubling the price because the demand is high.
Refunded my money for Tankers #1,but shipped the book anyway because of a delayed shipment of the books. Really good people.
Amazing place to go, very wide selection. Staff is very helpful and respectful of newbies and help them out in a polite way.
Great as always. They have the best selection of miniature paints around.Make sure to use the back entrance as the front is not accessible right now.
I just had an ad come ontomy phone. An audio ad? My phone showed nothing open. No website. No phone activated.These people are scary??????
Jetpack helps you get some fun back in these trying times! Comics, TCGs, Manga, toys, nostalgia etc. and awesome stories from employees make for a great escape from your standard day to daya.
There employees are really nice and they have a really good selection of things to choose and today I bought a 50 Pack of pokemon cards and it was only 10bucksπππ so I totily recommend coming to jetpack in rochester NH
Massive inventory. Widest selection of D&D miniatures in the area
Ordered online from Florida and extremely happy with my purchase. Shipping time was fast and the comics were packaged so securely, there was no chance for any damage! Will be ordering again, thank you!! :)
Traded in some cards from Magic the Gathering and it took several days to get a price on the cards. When I did finally receive a buy price I sold them without a hitch ( or so I thought.). I now have a -$55 account balance because the check they gave me for $30 bounced. So they got my cards for free and Im stuck paying over what I was supposed to get, in order to get my account back in the positive. SMH, accident or not, your a legitimate business. Things like this should not be occurring.
The people there are super nice. the comics are in excellent condition, iβve gone to jetpack twice and plan on going more!
Great awesome and very friendly.
Phenomenal shop. Great employees, I actually drive all the way from Concord because the shop is that good.
Best comic shop in new england!!
Only place in the area with good pokemon cards, people were very friendly, I will be back.
Love it for all marvel and dc comics! 10 π
Selection is nice, staff are very friendly and helpful
I love this place! I come here as often as I can and always end up buying something! Theres something for everyone here!
Love going there. Always have plenty to look at and choose from. Definitely recommend if you are looking for games or magic cards
Great store! Good selection of games, minis, models, and comics. Found some great deals and saw some new games I hadnt seen before.
Gone here a few times now and they always have what I want. I just moved to the area recently and Im a big DnD player. Its nice to be able to get miniatures and sourcebooks here.
The gentleman that owns and runs the store was very helpful a great conversationalist and wor ked with you on the prices.
Initially was 5 stars, now knowing how bad they price gouge and scalp. No thanks
Friendly staff and all kinds of gaming and comic book products.
I cant say enough good things about Jetpack! Ive been coming here for many years now and unless Im in another state theres no other comic book shop I go to. The staff are always friendly and are super knowledgeable about all things comics, games, collectables, movies, etc. They have a HUGE selection of basically everything youre looking for. They also have a game room out back which is awesome for those into card and roll playing games. They recently held a meet-and-greet with the author Joe Hill and that was amazing. I highly recommend stopping by if youre in Rochester or the surrounding areas. You wont be disappointed!!
The staff is awesome.Ive never had a problem and they are very knowledgeable.Prices on things are very consistent with the going rate.There is a reason why this store has stood the test of time for over 16 years.
Great spot!
If youre into Comics and youre NOT going to Jetpack then youre doing it wrong.
Great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable. A lot of board games and extensive collection options.
Jetpack is home to a very unique experience that you wont find anywhere else. Not only is their selection of comics and trinkets supremely diverse, the staff are knowledgeable and very kind! Young or old...nerd or geek...youll find what youre looking for here!
It has everything a nerd could want and is a great place for buying anything from collectibles. Cards. Comics. Books and more! Definitely chill friendly environment. They also do card games for pokemon and magic the gathering.
One of the best places in Rochester. The selection is amazing and the staff is always helpful. They have something for everyone. Free comic book day is one of the things I look forward to every year because of the amount of Joy it brings the kids and for that matter adults. They do a great job with that and it certainly brings interesting people into town doing cosplay. The signings that theyve had are certainly a great thing for the area I hope you dont get that purple thing unless you end up going to the comic book convention and many dont have a way to do that.
Ordered some prerelease items out-of-state. Even through delays to the pandemic, recieved items quickly. Store communicated clearly how they were handling delays and product allocations. Would certainly purchase from them again in the future. Competitive pricing and great service.
I love this place I got my first walking dead coming from here and it was amazing.The staff is always amazing and very kind.You should stop here if you are around.
One of the best in the area. Many titles old and new. Even an area for board games. Constant stream of people passing thru. Worth a stop.
I just got back into comics for the stories and collecting but really because of the community like the folks at this store. I ordered DCEASED 1 and other books from this shop and I cannot express how amazing they package the books and protect them. Their customer service on Amazon is amazing as well. Anyway thank you for all you guys do!
Staff friendly overall.Comics purchase policy leaves a lot to be desired...
One of it favorite comic shops. All the best comics and great toys, etc. The people who work there are always super helpful and friendly. I love how they organize the Free Comic Book day in Rochester. Its so Great. The only downside to Jetpack Comics is the $10 minimum to pay with a credit/debit card.
Issued me a refund of my preorder of Jumpstart @$90 a box (I ordered 8 as soon as they went on sale) Now that distribution is low and the price Skyrocketed to $199 a box they refunded me all 8 boxes leaving no possibility of getting the price anywhere else that was promised at preorder.The reason they do this is solely so they can sell MY PRE-ORDER boxes to someone else at $190+ a box!!! Completely skirts the preorder process and is totally against the rules of a WPN gamestore. Buyer Beware! As a player I have taken hits many times on preorders never cancelling on the shop I ordered with due to ethics apparently this shop does not practice the same methodology and ethics as I.Shame on you! I hope wizards revokes your WPN license!
These folks are good people. Their customer service goes above and beyond expectations. As a turbo nerd I choose to be loyal to Jetpack now.
Cool stuff. Kids love it here. Reasonably priced merch
Helpful people, a diverse selection of various comic and gaming related stuff. Great for kids and adult geeks alike. They have a big open space for gaming next door. It usually seems empty, but I must always go when there are no games.It would be great if they offered more younger kids games on weekends or earlier on a weeknight.
I always have a hard time leaving this place... I usually try to bring someone to drag me out. Like, for real.Seriously though, these guys are helpful when Im trying to catch up on comics, and then redirect me to a trade version instead of single issues. Thankee blokes!
Home. Thats usually what I refer Jetpack Comics to. I remember when Ralph was back at Paperback Bazaar and then that place closed and sad times were here in the seacoast area as there were no other options. And then, twelve years ago Ralph opened Jetpack and life was good again.Ive made friends here, Rich and Jon are great dudes who always go above and beyond when Im in the shop. My dad and I have been going in since Jetpack opened and Ralph always asks how my dad is doing when hes not with me. Courteous doesnt begin to describe it. Theyre like family. Rude, crude, bad dudes, but family.The amount of sales they have is impressive. The, practically town wide, Free Comic Book Day Mega Event that they put on every year rivals a comic convention. The charities that they help every year is awe-inspiring. Rochester has gotten better because of places like Jetpack and Collect-iques. Dont listen to 1-star keyboard warrior, go to the shop and experience the place for yourself.
Great customer service. And they always are great with the community. Free comic day and they are always having game nights or card nights. Amazing little gem in Rochester
Love this place. It can get expensive but being nerdy usually does! :) Super helpful staff and a great place to grab so many different games, comics etc. I love that we have a comic book shop nearby and that it often seems to be teeming with folks of all types! Keep at it Jetpack!
I used to shop on their ebay site. They had great prices and customer service. Recently their prices have seemed extremely high and I reached out to them to see why. They sent me some sarcastic answer about how Ill have to catch next years sale. They have obviously forgot how to value their customers. I am a seasoned Ebay buyer/seller . DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS ANY LONGER!!! The response they gave me below is just to cover their butt on poor customer service. A business looking to continue business with someone who has spent good money with them would have tried to earn or save their business rather than to say move on and take care. What a joke.
Could spend hours looking through here! Highly recommend for anyone!
Best comic store Ive been to by far. TONS of stuff, staff with big personalities, events all the time, and really a nice small town community atmosphere (especially for a store so highly regarded and well known in the comic community). Stay there for a half hour, and youll see the staff joking around with regulars, and regulars talking to other regulars- its a place where everyone knows your name (if you go there often enough).
I cannot accurately describe in words how awesome and amazing Jetpack Comics & Games really is! Not only do they have a plethora of spectacular goodies, they have a fantastic, knowledgeable staff as well. Want to know when a character first appears in a comic series? Someone there knows. Having a hard time remembering the name of a comic or game but you can describe it? Theyll find it for you! If youve never been to the store, you are doing yourself a disservice. Five stars isnt nearly enough!
This place is great. I go here every Friday and participate in their Magic: the Gathering event, which is very nicely run. They have a good selection of everything from comics to card games. Would definitely recommend to any nerd in the area
Great place, friendly staff. They have a great selection of new and old comics. Its always fun to see what items are new. The best part of the store is the interaction. Wether its a game night, just talking about the weeks great shows or movie you just saw, or the best is out at one of their great events. Jetpack makes you feel like part of the family. Thanks for all the great work in Rochester!
This store is amazing! They have a great selection and the staff is helpful. I am just getting into reading comics and I plan to be a long term customer for this store. The best!
Always amazing
Best birthday & Christmas gift. This store is the little store that could. I dont know much about Rochester but this truly has to be one of the gems! They have an amazing selection; everything from Star Wars & Harry Potter, & Pokemon to supernerd stuff I would get wrong & insult someone over trying to spell. They have posters, kids books, games, drink ware, shirts, stuffed animal things, action figures...AND a whole separate spot next door for gaming! With everyone everywhere wondering whats there to do for young people these days...heres something unique.Heres the best part that sets it apart from most shopping experiences. The staff. They know their stuff & love their job.Does all of this sound too good to be true? Its not. Go to Jetpack. Tell them you heard how amazing they are. Write your own 5 star review. Nerds need love too.
Jetpack is by far the best comic shop on the Seacoast! They not only carry all mainstream DC and Marvel comics but also carry a HUGE selection of indie graphic novels and comics as well. The guys running the shop are incredibly knowledgeable and willing to help you find your next favorite comic.
Jetpack comics is a cornerstone to the Rochester, NH community. Without their efforts this low socio-economic area would be devoid of anything fun and exciting for the youths, and old school comic fans alike. Absolutely love their inclusivity in gaming clubs and kind staff.
This place is the Go-To spot for everything Nerd-Related! Gaming (role-playing, board games, card games, party games, etc.) an unprecedented selection of Comics, collectibles, apparel, novelty items, posters, vintage stuff, a comic bargain-basement, books, action figures, dice, paintable lead figures...and SO MUCH MORE! You will find something different every time you go and will get lost in all of the cool things you find there! A friendly, knowledgeable staff, the best owner, Ralph, King of the Nerds, plenty of free parking in the Municipal lot out back or free on-street parking out front. You MUST check this place out, you will NOT regret it!
Up here from Massachusetts on vacation and just wanted to pick up some new issues that came out and I have to say that I have seen a ton of stores in my 30+ years of collecting, But none and I mean none top what I have seen here!! Simply amazing!!! The layout is pure genius!!! The inventory is filled to the roof with all sorts of goodies!! By the way Rich, My granddaughters loved the Stranger Things monopoly! I wish I had more time to spend going through this awesome find! I cant wait to come back up in another week to get my Jim Balents Batman 50s!! If your in the neighborhood on vacation..... Highly Recommended!!!! *****
The BEST comic book store. Loves their community. The store has an amazing selection of nerdery; comics, d&d, retro video games, EVERYTHING. The staff has been nothing but friendly and knowledgeable, in my experience. 10/10 best store, will hang around every week
10 stars is not an option so 5 stars will have to do. Jetpack Comics is more than just the BEST comic, collectible, and game store in the Seacoast. Jetpack is a caring community partner and a positive anchor as a thriving small business in the City of Rochester. So shop local, shop often, and shop Jetpack :)
Best place to get comics find what you need here
Best place in NH for games and comics. Great D&D community with Adventurers League play on most Saturdays.
It was good they helped me and were friendly
I love the place. If you like comics, d&d and magic. Go stop by.
Unreliable, dishonest and does not honor their offers. Not the right way to do business. Never had an issue here before. Will never shop here again. Go to stairway to heaven comics or Chriss comics.
