From current stuff to old to indie. The selection is deep. They have a few long boxes of $1 comics and a few magazine size boxes (I cleared out their old Epic Magazines in one trip), a few walls of games and a solid selection of statues/figures. They also get in some great books, like Illustrators and Illustration (two separate publications), which you usually have to find online/buy direct. All in all, a great place to stop by and dig around!

I tried to comment on Troy Emmi reply but I ended up updating the hole review. I don't know if…read morethere's a feature on here that I can reply to the owners comment but there is something that I need to say that's going to be listed down below. 8/15/21: After writing this review on Yelp Troy Emi (head at Fanboy Collectibles) decided to post all of my personal information Full name, Phone number, Address, and Email address and to a different site for everyone to see. What is something NO BUSINESS should do with a customer's personal information. I'm not going to allow someone like this to steal $210 and then post all of my personal information on another site. I will be contacting his Police Department as soon as I can in his Township about him posting my personal information. Troy Emi has a history of doing what he did to me to other people aswell. Only customers had this same experience of him stealing and robbing them out of money. He stole my $210.00 an what he's doing now it's not acceptable. On top of that when we first had this issue what I forgot to mention was that he was sending me rude and nasty Facebook messages and Emails due to he was upset with me more or less of him harassing me and calling me racist slurs. The guy is not professional whatsoever and he should probably not even be running a business if he's going to act like this. Original review written: on Google. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. Stole $210.00 of deposits I had with this company. They closed my account do to I got in a damaged statue and after I told them the problem with the statue I got in they closed my account and kept all the pre order deposit I had with them. Before this I was shopping with this company for 2 years but right when I had a problem they closed my account and stole my deposits I had on my pre orders with them. Best to buy somewhere else. I would not recommend this company whatsoever 2/11/22: Saw that Troy Emmi cared to reply back on 1/28/22 but Troy didn't tell the truth again. In Troy Emmi reply he said "This customer has made these claims that we have stolen this money on multiple social media platforms and Yelp. To which we always reply with all of the information we listed above and have stated we have all of the e-mails, screenshots and sales orders to which we've referred and can gladly make them available." I these had a BBB claim upped about Troy Emmi at Fanboy Collectibles because of him taking all my personal business information that I gave him and posting it on a different website for everyone to see. Troy never provided any of that information that he says that he has whatsoever to the Better Business Bureau. Almost as if he doesn't happen. The only thing he did was talk negative about me as a customer and about my past negative business experiences with other companies and businesses. Also the worker at Better Business Bureau I spoke to them by phone and she also said I should probably contact consumer relations about him or a lawyer do to him stealing the $210 of mine but most definitely about him taking all my personal information and posting it online. So Troy Emmi at Fanboy Collectibles is now believing that BBB is wrong? Also I did try to contact consumer relations by phone but because of covid data on take phone calls and to set up a complaint on this site is kind of hard for me. Something else Troy Emmi has said is "As for these new claims. If we were harassing you on Facebook why would you not just report us to Facebook? They would immediately close our account." Troy Emmi has me Blocked on Facebook. It's kind of hard to report something when you're blocked Troy. Now I have screenshots of that and everything else proving my point if you want it. So the first picture is of me logged into my Facebook and Gmail account and the 2nd is of me when I'm not. So yeah. Blocked. So yeah. I do care about this because I'm not going to have something steal $210.00 from me first and 2nd post my personal information online and have that be OK. Troy Emmi did this samething to another customer if you look at the reviews left to his company.

What a great experience. I was at the recent NY Comic-con…read moreand was looking for some rare statues for my collection. There were a few vendors selling what I was looking for and were close in price between each other. After explaining my situation to the owner of Fanboy, Troy Emmi, he took his time to go over different options and even was able to help me preorder some rare items on his site, that no one else had available. He was basically 10%-15% below all the other companies and I have purchased about 4 more items since then and all we delivered as advertised in perfect condition. Some of these other reviewers seem to be focused on shipping issues which any owner has no control of.

Been here a few times in the past. Recently visited after moving out of state five years ago…read more Ironically the vibe of this place never changed. Not one person greeted me when I walked in (which to an extent is a huge pet peeve of mine). What made it worse was eventually an employee (I believe the owner) looked me right in the eyes and didn't say anything and just ignored me. They had some good comics hanging on the wall and stuff seemed fairly priced. But honestly customer service and feeling welcomed goes much farther to me as a customer. If I don't feel welcomed or wanted then why would I bother wanting to give you my money? I'm not sure how people stay in business when they're not social with their customers.

READ THIS BEFORE SELLING YOUR COLLECTION To HERO COMICS & CARDS!…read more I walk in and the owner shows me this incredible card collection he just bought from someone and starts bragging how he already sold a card for $2000. Mind you, he had no idea how to identify some of these cards. I've been in this hobby for 10+ years and I was more than happy to show him everything I know on about how to identify a card. One of the cards I helped him identify was worth $900-1300 conservatively and in NM condition. When he found out how much this card was worth he told me he didn't even factor this card into the value of the collection when he paid for the collection. He said that he thought this particular card wasn't real or was tacky. If you do not know how to evaluate certain cards don't accept them but instead do the right thing and guide your customers to a place that can evaluate a collection appropriately. This should be common sense for someone who has been in the industry as long as you have been. When the owner realized how much the card was worth he didn't seem too concerned about ripping the person off at all! Instead he said "sometimes not knowing what a collection is worth can truly payoff," then he laughed. I really tried to have a good conversation with this man but deep down my intuition was screaming that this person was lost in Greed. There was one card I wanted to buy and he wasn't even willing to sell the card for fair market value even though I helped him identify these cards. All of a sudden somehow he became the expert and was suggesting that these cards were worth more than they actually were. He kept referencing TCG player prices but he knows nothing about how this market works and pretends he does! He didn't even know how to look up these cards on TCGplayer until I showed him. The prices you find on TCGplayer are oftentimes above market value and you can almost always find them cheaper on eBay! Don't deal in a market you're clearly not informed enough to deal in. Be ethical and guide people in the right direction rather than try and fill your own pockets. It's just really sad businesses like Hero Comics exist. I feel for the customer who didn't get the value for their collection that they truly deserved. If you are looking to sell a collection get a quote from multiple card shops before actually selling your cards. If you find out your cards are worth a pretty penny reach out to an online auction that pays 90% of a cards value! Their are plenty of local card shops that know what they're doing and won't accept cards that they are not experts in. Many of these shops are fully transparent with you about the cards you have and can guide you into the right direction. And to Hero Comics, no one is perfect, do the right thing, actually reach out to the person, and be fully transparent with them on what the cards are worth and what they sell for. Give them at least a 70% commission which is industry standard for most card-shops. Take accountability, learn, and grow. I'm confident you will.

Best Comic Shop in The Area! I've been going to Rogue Comics…read moresince its initial opening in 2010, and I must say, the place is like fine wine- It gets better with age! The owner Mike is one of the most pleasant people to talk to and his seemingly endless knowledge of comic books and generally nerdy things is rather refreshing. You can tell he loves what he does and puts care into making sure every customer he serves ends up enjoying their visit. Want a certain comic book or piece of paraphernalia that is unavailable at the moment? Mike will offer to order it for you. He is helpful to people of all ages and doesn't get enough credit for the work that he does. I truly hope that Rogue Comics stays open and thrives in its business for years to come.

However, if you love manga like I do, then very few regular book stores come close to this selection of manga in one place. It's still not the best selection, and if you're looking for something very specific that isn't super famous you might be disappointed, but if for whatever reason you don't want to shop online this seems like one of the better options. The comic store near Union Square in Manhattan is sort of like a Mecca, but if you can't get down there this will definitely do. This is also a great place to shop for comic/manga accessories like shirts, stuffies etc or if you're on your way to a party or something and want to bring some fun toys/favors. They have lots of gimmicky things like really tiny super soakers and funny variations of games. Basically, if you're a nerd or dork, like me, and are in need of nerd/dork gear as one is from time to time, come on over. If you're a super nerd or super dork, you might need something better.
