Warm welcome with a great stock of comics. This is one of the smaller NEC shops but it’s chockablock full of comics and ephemera. They have an excellent bargain GN section and overall I often find the more unexpected comic here.Hannah, in charge Today, was delightfully brilliant in her knowledge of comics and we spoke at length about Star Wars comics and of course I picked up some issues based on her recommendations. Such a friendly and positive experience.

Wonderful and vast selection and very friendly staff. The woman who was behind the the counter when i was there was an absolute delight! She had read just about every graphic novel on the bookshelf and could give you a synopsis of any one you picked. She recommended this book and the author to me after i asked for a colorfully illustrated historical fiction with a cartoony art-style. Needless to say she was right and I couldn’t put this book down! Thank you to the cool lady with the lip piercing and to New England Comics! -Erin

We have a LOT of choices on comic shops in the area, and while I do adore most shops, this is my home store. All my subscriptions are here, and the deals on collections/bagged runs/TPBs are fantastic.No other shop I have seen has so many instantly available rack/new release comics and fluency in what they have, and it makes me wonder how they do it.The answer seems to be in the fantastic and knowledgeable people who work here and take it seriously while also still keeping conversations fun and inquisitive. Matt and Hannah specifically have built really strong and meaningful relationships with the customers in this store.Other top marks:1. Fantastic organization of a large library of trades and graphic novels,2. A very generous reward program and discounts for subscribed titles,3. A very classic comic shop feel to the place in terms of how they fill the space,4. A spoiler-free mandate on conversations on new media, for those it matters to (not I, but I never spoil for others)5. A great location in Harvard right next to a few great pubs to sit and read your haul,6. Great signings and artist events,...and again, really authentic people working there.

As it seems to be a literal door in the wall, this is a true home-brewed/owned comic store. With a smaller collection of everything, it is refreshing to see a real enthusiasts/collectors keeping the comic book game real. I had a way better time browsing this store compared to the other bigbox stores; you just find more authentic merch!

Not the biggest comic book shop in the area. Well organized and a friendly and helpful staff.

Awesome comic shop with excellent staff. Great selection and prices.One note about the female employee: maybe insulting the books a customer is buying is not the best way to instill a good customer relationship. Calling it craptastic or saying I feel sorry for you reading this is just uncalled for.
