Astro-Zombies

This was a very nice store to visit. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They had a large amount of toys, t-​shirts, records and a fair amount of comics.
The location was very easy to find. The outside of the building is awesome. They took time to paint the outside of the shop. That makes you really want to come in and see the place.
The only down fault was the older books they have in stock. They were on the very top of the shelf. You can only reach them if an employee climbs the ladder for you. Being the collector I am I don’t know what might be in stacks on the shelf. I might be missing that key issue I want. I want to look at every single one but I don’t want the employee getting a nose bleed from the height.

This is the biggest comic book store in Albuquerque I’m told. Very cool store, and really nice staff.

Definitely a nice shop if ur down into some comics and novelty toys and games they got some old new and original stuff checkem if u need a read
Customer service was light but helpful when u need it don’t be afraid to ask very polite staff

Great selection of comics, Manga, collectibles and graphic novels. One of the most recognizable stores due to the excellent mural. There’s even a selection of gaming products.
It can be a bit overwhelming with the huge amount of stuff packed into the small space, but the staff is approachable and knowledgeable about their inventory so that’s not really a problem.

They had a few board games and a nice selection of figures/​miniatures. I got a pretty cool Godzilla figure there.

The comic book selection is brilliant.
The graphic novel selection is brilliant.

I’ve been here two times, but I will be back many more for it’s brilliancy.

This is the way comic stores should be; clean, cool, well organized, with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. They also sell all their new books already bagged and boarded, nice touch.

Lots of trade paperback comics, and packaged figures. They get their own exclusives done too. Met Tim Seely here at Free Comic Book Day last year!

I need to preface this with «I don’t read comic books.» I saw this place out with a couple of people and it reminded me of the comic book store from Big Bang Theory. One of the people in our group wanted to check it out. This store was neat to poke around and see all of the comics, memorabilia, and collectibles.
This is pretty close to the college and in a very vibrant part of Albuquerque. There are many different places to stop, but make sure to stop in and see if there is anything you need or look for some unique gifts.

Nice staff, overpriced selection.
Items that are still new and in stock in big chain retailers such as target being sold here with 50% markup over MSRP*.
Look, running a store is hard. Ripping off consumers is not how you keep foot traffic.
*Example: Sorin vs. Tibalt Duel Decks for MtG. Being sold at Astro-​Zombies for 29.99. MSRP 19.99.

The outside wall of art with just about every superhero is a tourist dreamscape.
Once I was inside, I was captivated by all the figurine memorabilia. Being a comic nerd myself, I found myself perusing their huge selection. But the fact that I was running late for my flight was the biggest downer from my whole trip.
I wish I had more time to look through everything. Awesome set up. Awesome employees.

This is just plane the best comic book store there is. I love it here. The graphic novel wall is massive, with a selection to match, the staff is very friendly and there’s pretty great assortment of odd indie stuff. The toys they have are really neat, too. I’m a bit of a Godzilla fiend and they have a bunch of cool collectibles in the toy cases. There’s a bunch of great restaurants and shops around it, so even the location is perfect. One of my favorite places.

Comic shops have been dropping here like flies. Priced out of cool neighborhoods, smashed by bookstore/​online competition, declining since the 90s heyday, just like the industry itself, just like record companies/​record stores.
I kinda wish comic shops in general didn’t have to become toy stores. It’s too bad the reality doesn’t allow for enough money or comics for their OWN sake, sans tie-​in merchandise, movies or gaudy gimmicks… I miss those kinds of stores. I just want comics. They are harder to find and more expensive than ever.
That said: this place is the real deal for the hip nerd, and pretty much the only game left in town that is worth it. TONS of trades/​graphic novels. Not just the high profile stuff, but a wide selection. They have the cheap table, they have the obscure toys for Japanese shows you’ve never heard of, they have the back issue bins to scour.
Some things they DON’T have: the trashy piles of unorganized junk. The steeply priced coveted items that aren’t really there to sell, but so the maladjusted owner can show off. The bitter, hygiene-​deficient, scoffing «comic-​book-​guy.» I do not miss those things at all.
You can take your girlfriend or kid here and not feel creeped out or ashamed. The staff is informed, gregarious, have taste. You’ll be treated better than those jerks at the hip record store will treat you. It’s almost like real people are allowed to like comics.

Awesome selection for the nerd in all of us. Really friendly staff, mind-​blowing storefront, and back issues of TMNT and all sorts of illustrated awesomeness. Check em’ out!

Attractive store front, friendly staff, and something for everyone.
Found collectibles that I have not seen anywhere else. Great variety.
Stuff is somewhat pricey, but they will have it if you can’t find it anywhere else.
My favorite comic stop by far!

Friendly, knowledgeable, clean and fun stopover for comic-​lovers and the families who love them.

Good for toys and back issues. Not enough indie crazy. Prices on toys can be high. Know your chis yo.

This was a great spot for comic books, graphic novels and action figures.
Even though this has been around for years, I’d never been here. The service was excellent and friendly and the selection was very good: great back issues, variety in new comics and tons of graphic novels. When I was there they had a huge pile of graphic novels that were 50% off — what a great deal!
I totally recommend this spot for any comic book fan.

This place rocks! HUGE selections of both comics and graphic novels. I found a couple of newish novels that I could not find elsewhere.
The guy who helped me was super nice and actually showed some passion for his job – very cool.

I have been to this place twice on two separate occasions and have always been impressed with what they have here. The first time they had a very nice selection of psychotronic films for rent which I was very pleased to see! The second time, several years later it seemed like they changed their focus and had it more on action figures and manga which was equally cool! Really one of the more interesting places in Albuquerque! That is saying alot too because when ever I go to this town I get bored almost as soon as I set foot out of the car.
