  Such a good store for people who love collectibles, games, books, etc.! One of those store where the “weird” ones fit right in. Funkos, Pokémon’s cards, D&D, statues, stickers, magnets! Such a great variety! Fairly priced. Worth to stop by.

  Great comic spot if you're looking for modern issues, trade paperbacks, collectibles, and all sorts of other trinkets. I would have liked it if there was back issues but they didn't really have much of that and the stuff that they did was poorly priced.

  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!

  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.

  Wow! First time visiting and we were blown away! We loved the variety in the store. It seemed to have something for everyone. They have clothing, toys, displays, comics, games, dice, stickers and more! We purchased the comic blind bag and got 10 comics for only 8.99! It was fun to open up to such a surprise! We will most definitely be back!

  Fantastic place to get all kinds of comics, excellent t-shirts from diverse franchises and a very nice selection of toys and other collectibles. You’ll most likely find stuff you won’t find in other stores. Not the best place to find vintage issues but you’ll most likely find more recent stuff.

  Been here a few times, but noticed a guy following my brother and I for a while when we were taking a bit long looking around. I’m not sure if it was their security or some random guy, but he was on his phone following our every direction. It made me feel super uncomfortable. Otherwise, cool place..?
