They have a really large selection of comics, games, pops* and cool things…read more I couldn't get an exclusive pop because they provide a small supply of that so all of them are getting down really fast. The price is OK.

Sub City is for all those comic book fans out there - a treasure trove of material. They focus much…read moremore on the printed matter than on the toy/collectible end of things. The shop is narrow but packed and reasonably priced even in this age of internet shopping. Whether you've read all the Frank Miller stories out there or you've just heard of Alan Moore, this is not an off-putting nerd-paradise that you might expect. That may have something to do with the daylight streaming in the window.

The world of comic books is one that I have never delved into. I am a big fan of reading, and of…read morelooking at pictures but comics have just never interested me. Combine that with the fact that anime scares me, and you have the reason why I have never, ever been inside a comic book shop. But, I decided to be brave and check Sub-City out, for the sake of adventure and boredom. Now, having absolutely no knowledge of comics, going into a lion's den of this sort was extremely intimidating. I really didn't have much to look for or at, because I wasn't looking for anything and didn't know what I was looking at. But, the guy at the desk greeted me like he would any other comic book dork and I was enlivened. I perused the comics, marveled at the amazing artwork in some and checked out the models, which are probably a lot of fun to put together. The guy was tied up with another customer, but when they were done I knew he was going to come talk to me and I got all panicked. Lo and behold, he sauntered over and chippily said, "how's it going?" "I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just looking around. Huuyuuuh thanks!," I blubbered. He laughed and proceeded to say it was totally cool and to let him know if I needed help. He handled my dork meltdown well, which makes me think he probably deals with that a lot.

Staff are nothing but down to the earth when it comes to dealing with customers and will always do there best to help you out in finding the piece your looking for.

Always on the look-out for new and interesting nerd experiences, I decided to check out this latest…read moreaddition to the comics scene in Dublin. Situated opposite the Bolton St DIT, Dublin City Comics has a nice, not overly-stocked ground floor shop area, with comics, trade paperbacks, graphic novels, models, t-shirts and so on. The comics are sold at dollar prices so this can be a good savings on the prices you'll pay in other comic outlets. Downstairs is a large room with a flatscreen TV, an area for assembling models. comfy sofas, a computer, and inexplicably, a baby pen complete with multicoloured balls. Christy and Doc, the owners, intend to turn this into a GeekEasy, a nerdclub for movie watching and so on which will have a membership fee (to be confirmed) as five euro to start, then ten euro a month. So, more than your average neighbourhood comic shop! I'll be back.

Right in the heart of Temple Bar, Connolly Books is the coolest bookstore in Dublin and maybe the…read morecoolest radical bookstore I've been in. Named after republican James Connelly, this book has cool texts on decolonization, racism, Irish history, and more.Their selection is well curated and great for leftists and history buffs. Everyone in the store while my partner and I were there were speaking Irish and it was exciting to be in the presence of folks speaking their native fanily language. Definitely check it out.

I love Connolly Books. It's run by a really nice elderly gent who is exactly the kind of person…read morethat I'd like to become when I age very ungracefully. They have very few books for a shop of its size, don't accept laser and is filled with political information pamphlets. All this and it sells cheap comics. Get in!

Holy amazing bookstore, Batman!!…read more This place is huge and stacked with books both used and new. Plus, upstairs is a plant shop and a cafe. The prices are great, and I found a few books that are hard to find in your average bookstore. Moreover, their organization and categorization is perfect, it virtually brought me to tears. Lastly, the service is friendly and nice. If you're a book lover, just go! Enjoy!

Tons of Batman, Spiderman, Superman, Judge Dread, Marvel, Graphic, and Independent Comics. But that's not all! It also has rare bumper children's and sports annuals, posters and maps of Ireland in Gaelic! For those wags of comics mania, this joint is in a league of its own. Not far from the Central Bank in Temple Bar, if you need to orientate!

This place is an absolute trove for the comic collector, it has the widest range and selection of…read moreback issues available in dublin (and probably Ireland). The shop focuses on back issues so you cant actually get the current issues here, but there should be enough to keep you interested here. There is a slight trade off here though, the shop isnt the most spacious place, in fact it is a bit cramped (but maybe this adds to the charm). Prices wise, some things are a bit pricey, but there are bargains to be found. There is also a stall for action figures and various cult toys in the back, whilere they are housed in the same place I think they are run by different guys.

This is three stories of books and it is worth taking a slow walk through! The books are new-book prices so they are a bit expensive but just seeing the huge selection of books and the huge store is enough. I ended up getting one book as a gift for a friend and a Hodges Figgis tote bag for myself. The people working here are friendly and knowledgeable. There is always someone around if you have any questions.

We stumbled upon this new Sub City and entered excitedly…read more First thing I noticed was nothing was priced up, at least in the board games section anyway. I then noticed a particular game which have been mulling over buying, Pandemic Legacy. Here they are selling it for 85 EUR. In a gaming shop around the corner it's 69 EUR. An Irish based gaming website is selling it for 60 EUR. It's madness pricing like this. If Gamers World wasn't around the corner and Sub City was priced more in line with online prices, I would shop here. Spend a little bit more to shop local. But 25 EUR more? Go way outta that. Needless to say Sub City was empty and Gamers World was jammers. It's presented well inside.
