5.0 of 5 stars. Laugh at me all you want. I like Archie comics and I am not afraid to admit it. I loved them since childhood and this place keeps em coming. I particularly like this location because they sometimes...

Yelp.com Review - by Robert M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! This may not be my actual second home, but if I had the time and if the already awesome staff would let me stay longer than they already do, then I would sign a lease and be there...

Yelp.com Review - by Patrick S.

4.0 of 5 stars. Really great people work her, very fun to visit and talk with the staff and to browse. Slightly more expensive than Amazon when their sale was running but you get it immediately and you help out a...

Yelp.com Review - by Teddy G.

4.0 of 5 stars. Whenever I get a chance to go home, NEC/Allston is always a mandatory stop for me. I remember a few things about NEC. First, when it was originally located on Brighton Ave, all the way in the back....

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer M.

5.0 of 5 stars. I go here all the time. I love it! The employees are great and they will try and order anything they can for you if they don't have it. They have the most elegant bathroom garnished with autographed...

Yelp.com Review - by William S.

4.0 of 5 stars. I find myself in this shop at least once a week. With helpful staff and a well stocked selection of comics, indies, and trades, the Allston New England Comics is a wonderful place to spend part of the...

5.0 of 5 stars. When you walk into a store and you hear the squuuueeeeaak of packing tape unfurling, you expect to see a meek salesperson packing a box---Oh its a different, superfied world in New England Comics.I...

Yelp.com Review - by Kevin B.

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this place. I first discovered while living in Allston and even though I now live in Somerville, I still make the long ass trek all the way out here because this store is the shit. I just have...

Yelp.com Review - by K O.

3.0 of 5 stars. This place would be my Heaven and Hell if I was still reading a lot of American comics -- "Heaven" for the great selection, friendly staff, and sales, "Hell" because I'd be so deep in debt I'd be...

Yelp.com Review - by The V.

5.0 of 5 stars. The one reason I live in Allston (aside from the fantastic food) is because of this store right here. I used to work in a small movie store in Plymouth Ma that had a great small shop feel. People...

Yelp.com Review - by Kelly M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Could do with some sprucing up inside and for window displays, but I came in here to look for Tank Girl, and by God, I found it. Or rather, a nice employee (a girl, nonetheless) helped me find it. She...

Discounts Make it Worthwhile by David L. at InsiderPages

While I have to agree with the reviewer that the store lacks depth in the comic department, they do offer a lot of discounts and promotional incentives. If you're willing to shell out the dough, they had a...

Yelp.com Review - by Colin U.

5.0 of 5 stars. This is the second New England Comics store I've been to, and I must say the nicer of the two. I fell off the comics wagon for about six months recently, and New England comics seems to have hauled...

Yelp.com Review - by Jenna S.

5.0 of 5 stars. I recently got back into comic books after a long hiatus between now and 5th grade. I first popped my head, prairie dog-like, to get the "Buffy" series. Before long, the staff had me picking up the...

Yelp.com Review - by matt o.

5.0 of 5 stars. Greatest comic book store out there. Well I'm sure anyone could argue with me differently here since I got out of comics about 12 years ago and then recently got hooked again thanks to the walking...

4.0 of 5 stars. I love New England Comics. Granted, they do not have the largest selection, but they always seem to have something I want. They do have some back issues and a decent selection of independent titles....

Yelp.com Review - by Michelle B.

4.0 of 5 stars. I love this place, mostly because every time I go in there whoever is working is just super friendly and we end up talking about either the genius of Joss Whedon or how much he sucks (depending on if...

Yelp.com Review - by Allix T.

3.0 of 5 stars. When I was a kid comic book stores made me immeasurably happy. New England Comics has the same old school, small shop feel. They've got a good selection of whatever you might need along with graphic...

Not a lot of good comics, more gimmicky toys and action figures by Omer H. at InsiderPages

While this store has some good comic books that all stores carry they do not have a large selection of comics. No real depth, lots of toys and gimmicky quasi collectible items. I was sort of disappointed in...

Yelp.com Review - by Geoff T.

3.0 of 5 stars. Decent selection of the monthly comics. Last time I was in there, the selection of trade paper stuff was a little thin. The clerks will help you without a lot of the eye-rolling you can get at comic...

Yelp.com Review - by Jessica R.

4.0 of 5 stars. This store is completely packed with comics! The nice window display of comic books should probably key you into this. Stop by here on your way back from the Grasshopper.

Yelp.com Review - by Leo C.

4.0 of 5 stars. Unlike 'Newbury Comics', this chain sells comics, a few related items, and not much else. Excellent selection of comics at the Allston Village location, with trained staff; Erin, the manager, knows...
