Owner of this store is really cool. My son was choking on a scone, and he was on the floor not breathing. The owner, very muscular strong and tall man with glasses saved my son. Gave him mouth to mouth and even gave us a free comic! Lovely experience!

Very well organized place. Has a ton of stuff in stock. New releases and back issues. Much more inventory than some of the other places in northern NJ I’ve been to. Really nice and helpful staff.

WOW! The spread is expansive. They have new releases, out-of-prints, collectors editions, popular titles, obscure names; you want it, I’m betting they’ll have it. Even had some Pops and figurines that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff.
