The owner was really friendly, nice, and talkative, and you could tell he was happy to have us in the store.

Do be warned that finding parking is a bit difficult - but just read the signs and be patient and careful and you'll be fine.

I went in here to look for and buy a few comic books. The person working there was very nice,…read morepatient and helpful. The store itself is small but still has a big collection. The inside of the comic store is also very bright and clean, unlike most comic book places I've seen that have a darker atmosphere to them. The interiors and the books are well-taken care of, not dirty at all. The business is obviously very maintained by the employees.

A fantastic store. We are very lucky to have this place. A great selection of comics and a nice,…read morerelaxing environment. The staff is helpful and polite, they will order books for you if they don't have them, and they have a deal where every 11th graphic novel you buy is free (or discounted, I forget). I've been coming to this store for years and it compares to Million Year Picnic and Comicazi very well... these 3 top notch comic stores complement each other. If you're a comic fan it's best to visit all 3 of them!

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!

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.

My boyfriend and I stopped in to check out the MTG selection and we were pleasantly surprised. There was a surprisingly large selection of booster packs, starter decks, and some single cards. There were also some really nice d20s and other game related materials (deck boxes, deck sleeves, etc.) The guy who works there was incredibly kind and friendly. He asked about our decks and showed us some cards. He even offered us some extra lands, free of charge, which we didn't need but it was still very nice of him to offer. I can't speak much to the comic book selection but I've heard great things. All in all it was a great shop for the size and excellent service, and I would absolutely go back. I would definitely prefer to buy MTG cards here as opposed to retail giants like Walmart or online retailers. Support local businesses!

Fun time browsing this store after our train ride ended right on Newbury Street this morning…read more Everything from Tshirts and manga, to plush animals and socks, to trading cards and Funko pops, graphic novels and regular books. My brother got a Tshirt and some socks and my husband bought a book. The staff was helpful. Freezing cold in there with the a/c blasting but I'm sure it would feel good later when it's warmer and when it's crowded. Didn't really check the prices but apparently they were ok because people bought stuff. Come check it out! Newbury street is fun for shopping anyway!

I wondered here after checking out Paige and Leaf Cafe which they are attached to. The store was crammed with interesting stuff to look at. They also have a small table in the middle of the store plus some chairs scattered around the store for seating to do some reading. I saw a sign on the door that they do events for the community and have book authors can by. They have a bargain and 20% section to save some money. It's big inside and I got lost looking at toys and reading excerpts of some books (including the Grimm Fairytales) and spent about an hour here. Overall, I appreciate the amount of variety of items they carry and I think that sets them apart from other bookstores.

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!
