Awesome comic book store. Exactly what I was looking for during my unexpected free afternoon during…read moremy Boston visit. Walked in and one of the employees asked if I was new there. I said Yes and he then gave me their quick spiel. From other reviews it looks like 20% off isn't new and has been a thing for a very long time. I didn't find, in general, their prices to be too bad. A few books maybe but they're smack in the middle of the city in a high tent area and their selection of pretty much everything is great, do slightly higher prices are understandable. Highly suggest a visit for current books, back issues, slabs, and I think lots of gaming stuff as well (I didn't pay attention to their non-comic stuff). It was actually fun for me.

Friar Tuck himself greeted us at the door today and gave us a quick tour…read more My husband was excited to check out this comic book store, not only because they had back issues that he was looking for in his collection but also the entire store was at least 20% off today! (The prices were a little high to begin with so the sale made them more regular). The display comic books had cool identifiers like the first appearance of Hawkeye, for example. They were valued higher because of these specifics. Even those were 20% off today. My husband's only critique was that some of the long boxes were packed too tight such that he would've had to pull out multiple comic books just to be able to search through the box. He says he would've bought more if there were about 15 fewer issues per long box. Come check it out!

We spent way longer in here than anticipated and that's a good thing. This place is huge and has…read moreso much to see and look at. I usually only come into these stores with my husband because he's the nerd but lemme tell ya, even I saw a few things that I'd like to have. Fortunately, for my pocket book and for my carry-on, my husband kept his cool and just bought a few small things that he hasn't seen in any of the shops where we live. He was super excited to check everything out and get things he can't get at home and I was lucky it was all small things. Why 4 stars? The place is upkept well but it kind of smells musty and weird in here. The employees are kind of meh, not very helpful or friendly. Also, pricing is a bit high, comparatively speaking, so the value is a bit low, but I do understand this place in a tourist zone, so I get it.

" 3x floors of nerd paradise, just bliss " My husband and…read moreI avid nerds or intellectuals, just love this place . This location has three floors of interest . Parking is difficult but manageable, in terms of street metered or two parking spots with less than half a block . They have hard to find things or just difficult things , that other stores would have , it's pricey but worth it . If you find something you're really interested in . A large selection on three floors , you will definitely find something. Staff is friendly and helpful, just ask away .

I really enjoyed browsing through the comic books- there is something for everyone. Whether you are a fan of Venom or a fan of Tom and Jerry, you will definitely find something of interest. There are also a bunch of autographed sports jerseys on the walls. You can tell that the owners are extremely passionate about sports and comic books. They have weekly trade nights (check their Instagram for dates). They can also help you to get your comic books graded. I am excited to see what other new merch the store will have. This is also a great place to grab gifts for friends who love sports and comics!

My review is strictly based on their Pokemon card selection. I called prior to going to verify that…read morethey carried Pokemon cards and was told they do.

I mean a store dedicated to Harry Potter -- come on?!? And what I found wasn't some corporate, merch-filled spot but something that seemed to have grown out of the love the owner has for all things HP. This small shop includes photos and facts about the cast, mixed in with a fun assortment of items. In particular, I liked the Letter from Hogwarts wallet and items related to each of the Hogwarts houses. (This girl is a proud Ravenclaw, in case you were wondering). I ended up buying my kids plastic pens that look like quills. The owner was talking enthusiastically to all who entered, and when I told him that it was my birthday, he said he had something extra special for me and gave me my own, gold laminated train ticket from London to Hogwarts. I was thoroughly charmed by The Fairy Shop, even without the use of spells. ;-) A must-visit for any Harry Potter fans.

*Review for bookstore only*…read more This place was super cute and I'm so glad we decided to check it out after almost walking by it! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the cashiers on the right while the wall in front is lined with new releases and employee recommendations. As you go further in, there's a small café on the left (a couple was having their first date when we walked by. How cute!). There are two floors, but I mainly stayed on the first since the second floor seemed dedicated to children's books. I am a memoir/nonfiction girl, so I went back to that section and was happy to find two whole cases dedicated to the genre. They also have super cute post cards, puzzles, hats, and other knickknacks. I bought a postcard of Beacon Hill to commemorate our vacation! I'm only knocking a star off because there didn't seem to be many books on sale or a decent used section. I did happen to find and buy one book on sale, but it was pure luck because no sign made it clear that discounted books would be sprinkled in. As someone new to the area, I loved the feel of the space and would definitely be a regular if I lived nearby!

They've got all the vibes and have a lot of hidden gems to be found. Some things can be a bit pricey especially on the gift side, but I would say otherwise on average for the type of items.

Worth exploring if you're checking out the area or a local who loves books and/or cute things!
