I've shopped regularly at the location on Newbury Street, and I have to say I prefer the Faneuil Hall location. First of all, this store is HUGE- there is a lot of stuff in there. When my buddies and I head out to this store, it's always an event that takes hours. Just exploring the store's vast selection is an adventure in itself. If you're looking for a great gift idea for one of your 'geeky' friends, I can't recommend this store enough. I got my friend a Doctor Who figure here for about $7 and she loves it. If you're looking for CD's or DVD's, Newbury also has you covered because there are a ton of different titles in the store. I would give it five stars, but the layout is a little awkward. I'm a little scatterbrained and actually got lost once on the upper floor...kind of embarrassing. Still overall, this is easily the best Newbury Comics I've been to in terms of selection, price, and staff. read more

I Went looking for CDs, and I was quickly frustrated by the poor selection (the selection is miles better at the NC here in Maine) and the outrageously high prices. Every time I saw an album I was even mildly interested in, just a glance at the price, which went over 10 bucks way too often, was enough to get me to move on. This is definitely a tourist trap, NOT a legitimate record store. read more

If Hot Topic, Spencer's, and a comic book store had a love child, it would most certainly be Newbury Comics. I'll tell you one thing, it puts all of Philly's comic book stores to shame. Not only do they carry a vast selection of comics, but they also carry everything from pins, patches, and stickers to CD's, DVDs, books, adult toys, t-shirts, even stuffed toys that have nothing to do with comics (yay UGLY DOLLS!) Now if only Boston weren't a 6 hour drive away so I could shop there more often! read more

I found a giant Brobee Yo Gabba Gabba pillow pal and the only issue of the Stand comic that I have been missing. 5 stars for the awesome finds. read more

Another favorite location of mine for Newbury Comics, this one is probably one of the bigger stores. I like the layout of this one the best and I think they have more to pick from compared to the other stores. Plus it's located in the heart of Quincy Market where all the action is. read more

Helpful staff, great selection of current music (not Britney, although I'm sure they have it), reasonable prices, AND the quintessential speed-punk CD blaring over the in-store loudspeakers. After all, what music shopping experience would be complete without losing an eardrum to the earlobe-stretched employees' latest fave, usually by a band that only 10 people have heard of... I was pleasantly surprised to find several CDs by some of my favorite bands of the moment that I had not previously heard of. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Hot Topic with some CDs and DVDs i did get some cool socks and my husband got a $6 DVD.

So even though this place reminds me of A LOT of places in the Hollywood area, I still really liked it! They sell some rad stuff! I bought a "Reading is sexy" pin and a "Flirty, Dirty, and Nerdy" sticker. That's it. $5 worth of happiness. i guess I'm just a simple girl. Eh, not really. read more

Why they call is Comics i have no clue. They have the smallest section for comics. However they have some cool stuff to buy.

This place definitely stands out in it's location. Lots and lots of stuff! Interesting because back in California it would just stop and the tees and toys, and some cds. There's comics here and dvds, posters, I can go on and on. When I go upstairs I thought it would end there, but you go on and on and there's some decent stuff on sale. Cool gag gifts too. read more

Did not purchase anything here - but spent a good 20 minutes walking the store. Don't let the name fool you, its not just comics. There is an abundance of movies, cds, collectibles, clothing, everything. Pretty awesome store really that has unique and hard to find stuff. read more

This place has shifted from being just a record and music store to a much more diverse and more fun shopping experience. Along with the CD's the store now has a wide selection of DVD's, shirts, accessories, posters, action figures, and more. This has always been one of my favorite stores in Boston and it's even better than it used to be. read more

UPDATE: A year later and still bad. They just never have any comics you are looking for. They only service subscription people and never have stock of BASIC titles. Wish they didn't suck so bad, but they do. Quite possible the worst comics section I have ever seen in my life. They are always out of stock on several titles on New Comics Wednesdays, the comics are displayed in bizarre vertical magazine racks thus forcing the comics to "hang" over the edge thereby cracking the spine - something no serious collector ever wants to see. I don't understand what happened. When this store was located at Washington Mall, they had a pretty good section. Small, but complete and well cared for. It just seems they could not give two sh*ts. Suggest they remove the word "Comics" from their name. Call it "Newbury Useless Crap". read more

Place could use some cleaning up. Most disorganized location out of all the ones I've been to. Still a great place to stop in and look around. read more

I'm honestly not sure how big of a comic selection they have but this store is so cool. They have so many random things- cupcake toothpaste, mustache cookie molds! Tons of music, shoes, posters and random house items. I always go here when I come to boston and buy so much stuff! read more

Lots of stuff here. I didn't look too much at the music, but the blu-ray selection is pretty nice. Lots of DVDs as well. Decent prices, but nothing exceptional. Grab a used movie or album if you find one for a bargain. read more

This seemed bigger than the Newbury St. store. I was there to buy books but left with a pair of socks instead. A story line for a comic, I guess. The few products on sale are OK, but I found it pricey in general. Sellers were helpful. It's a hipster store, not a specific comics bookstore. There are better options for that. If you know what you want in comics and records, you won't be impressed, but your visit won't feel like a waste either. read more

When I visited Boston, it was a little surprising to see this little shop. When I walked in, I was amazed to see how much stuff they had. Vinyls, clothing, accessories, comics, movies, you name they had it. I fell in love with my little geek mind. I found movies that I've been looking for a long while, I found vinyls that were rare etc. this place is a little pricey but, this is still an awesome place to check out if you have a little geek in you! read more

Definitely love how the store incorporates a little of everything for entertainment and prices are very reasonable. The staff seems to be very helpful.The funny thing is my husband is in the store every other day bout 4x a week. read more

Despite the location, the available floor space, and the massive amounts of goods sold there; I actually don't find the selection to be all that good. I compared this store to the Harvard, Newbury, and even Providence locations and my search to buying ratio is drastically different. I almost never find anything that I want in the Faneuil Hall location! The variety of electic CDs is nowhere near as amazing as the Harvard location. The pins and actions figures are nice, but never seem to be updated with a new selection. Such as Harvard Square updates it's Jesus action figure with movable joints, talking action, and a guitar in hand, but the Faneuil Hall location would stock the same old Jesus with thumbs up. Yes, most of the time it is filled with tourists. I think they knew that when going in to the purchase of such a retail space. That said, it does give this Newbury Comics a different atmosphere compared to the others. Aside from the overcrowding, they play more music over the speakers that the un-initiated shopper of Newbury Comics would like. More well known tunes and more pop and hip-hop. Harvard and Newbury Street play a lot more punk and indie, which gives those two stores an interesting shopping experience. It must be expensive to afford this lot in the middle of tourist land. Yet tourists come in like waves during the Summer for Domo, so I guess it works out. read more

This is the worst NC store in the chain.. no inventory of DVD, CD, BLUERAY.. the bargain bins are gone.. poor quality merchandise on the racks that are falling apart. read more

Comic selection is kind of weak, but used movies games and music is a huge plus. Good place to kill a afternoon lunch break rediscovering all the CDs that we're stolen from you when you were 17, and maybe some new ones 2. read more

I am a game of thrones lover and I am obsessed with Robb stark. He has a nice body and I am interested in all Robb merchandise. On a hot summer day I called the Newberry comics and I asked them do you have any Robb Stark nude sculptures? They checked inventory they told me they do not have that exact type of Robb Stark merchandise but many other things that relate to Robb and game of thrones. They were very respectful and kind I appreciate that behavior when I am asking serious questions about serious merchandise well done Newberry comics I give you four stars. I'd give you five if you had my exact product but well done anyway read more

Reviews by Tarn Charles S. and Josh W. hit the nail on the head: this new location for the Newb is not only in the most touristy part of Boston but it also devotes less space to music and as a result, the more obscure artists that you can find at most other Newbury Comics are not represented here at all. The only thing that may lure me back in the occasional decent in-stores they have. other than that, there are Newbs and music stores elsewhere. read more

More than just comics - books, clothing, comic themed items. All a bit eclectic or left of center. Very cool shop to walk through.

No better place to buy DVDs in New England. Fun atmosphere too.

Great selection of just about everything. If you are a fan of Funko , this place has you covered with over a variety of different brands with both new and old pops, dorbz, T-shirts, and pop homes . The comic selection was pretty good. All new modern versions and some from a few years back. That's what I look for in a comic book store. I'm a collector and if you are too, this place is what you're looking for. read more
