$2 comics. Across several cities and dozens of comic book stores, I have yet to find an inventory…read moreas large and as varied as Comicazi's offered at rates as low as they offer. I come here once a week to expand my comic collection with a $10-20 dollar purchase, and when I have some spare change or they get more inventory I'm happy to spend hundreds across unique/rare back issues, action figures and graphic novels. The only thing about this store that is not PERFECT is in that they do not carry a huge inventory of new releases, and that should warrant a star deducted, but they do such an incredible job across every other facet of the business that I cannot complain. Some of the staff noted me as a regular and have been super friendly in informing me of upcoming sales and events at the store - I just love it all. GREAT spot.

The comic selection is pretty great like there's tons here that you could look for hours and there's also so many other things collectibles to find here So ends the good When I say this place is overpriced I'm not saying by a small amount this place is crazy OVERPRICED asking upwards of 10-15 dollars for non key Batman legends of the dark knight books even tho you can get almost the whole run for 2 dollars a book. The condition of the priced books is also Horrendous! 20$ keys were COVERED in spine ticks but had 60$ price tags on them "uncanny x men 138" for 60 dollars when it has more ticks than a stray dog is highway robbery Lastly they have a HUGE sign outside that clearly states "we buy sell trade comics, games, cards" yet when I asked the guy if he was interested in looked at the books I brought he said "sorry our guy only does business online". So put that on your sign then Just stay away from this place it puts scalpers to shame with its prices of beat up comics

J and i have been coming here just about every couple weeks for a few months now, and i hesitated…read moreon how i would rate this place. in truth, if you had asked me my opinion after our first time in, it wouldn't have been good. let me just start out by admitting i really don't know shit about shit when it comes to comics. but, as the daughter of an avid record collector and record show organizer, i've been around a very similar circuit for my whole life. so when i say this place is lacking in the ambiance department and the staff is pretty apathetic, know that i'm not expecting to be waited on hand and foot inside an art gallery or anything. there are a LOT of books in this place. a ton. and yet, it simultaneously manages to look empty. like, it looks like a going out of business yard sale...but less lively. it's always empty and dead silent - all you can hear is the floor creaking and other people breathing. maybe i've watched too many episodes of the big bang theory, but they could really stand to get someone in there and decorate the place. i understand that to them, inventory is more important, but having a store that looks like this just really smacks of "i don't care." which was the same vibe i got from their "service." the first time we were in here, we hadn't yet figured out their organizational system and we were a little unsure of some release dates, so, we asked. and we were met with what amounted to "i don't know." is it out yet? when will it be out? are you sold out of it? where would it be in the store? are all pretty basic questions you should know the answer to or be able to look up if your only job is to sit in an empty comic book store all day every day. and if you have something, is it reeeeeeeeally too much to ask for you to get up and show me where it is instead of gesturing to nowhere in particular, so i give up looking and you lose a sale? i mean, jesus. okay, so. the bright side. easy parking, either on street or in the public lot next door. inside, again, lots of books. good deals, and they often have sales on not only the "regular" comics but also graphic novels. their setup is alphabetical, with separate sections for marvel, DC, books, and kid's. the "kid's" section is directly to your left when you walk in, for my fellow adventure time fans ;) and, for whatever reason, we've recently experienced much improved service. maybe we caught them on a string of perpetually bad days. maybe the big boss gave them a talking to. maybe they follow the high fidelity model and we've only just now earned our place as "regulars" and are thus deserving of being helped. *maybe* it's that J wrote an unflattering review elsewhere (after having a night and day experience visiting hub comics the same day) and a mutual acquaintance between J and NEC's employee said "hey, my friends are cool and you weren't, knock it off." who knows. but the last couple of times we've gotten the good service we should have gotten from day one. asking if we need help without prompting, helping us find comics, personal reviews/recommendations, giving out helpful information regarding ship dates, etc. so, we'll keep coming back. a big selection and low prices. as an urban vinyl/blind box toy collector, i do wish they had some non-comic items beyond some magic the gathering things and a few tshirts & pins, but hey, this IS a comic book store after all. i just wish we had our recent positive experiences from day one. i doubt most customers would be as forgiving as us, especially when you have the option of shopping online. take a hint, NEC. i want to see you reach your full potential and stick around!

If you're a comic fan it's best to visit all 3 of them!

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!

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!

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.
