Comicazi

Gigantic store. They have basically a whole room mostly dedicated to action figures, a lot of different comic book franchises, and more. But they don’t always have what or a lot if what I’m looking for (maybe because i like comic book series that aren’t that popular and i have a lot of comic books that are already there.) Other than that. this store is amazing and worth your time! This is my favorite comic store around here!

I’ve been looking for a good comic book store and I was NOT disappointed. This place is HUGE. And after visiting 5 other places in the greater Boston area– I must say I’m in love. They have TONS of comics and toys. It’s a great place if you’re a collector. I walked out with a pack of Magic Cards and a deck box but plan on making this my spot for my nerdy needs. See you soon!

This place has EVERYTHING. Though, this great selection of books does come with a catch. The price of the graphic novels here are very steep compared to other comic book stores nearby. If you’re willing to pay the steep price, this is essentially as good as a comic book store can get. As a teen with not a lot of cash, I would not recommend this spot to anyone else like me.

Best comic book and toy store I’ve ever been to. very fair pricing.

Best comic store and general center for Geek culture in the Boston area period. More an event then just a store and the clientele is the most wonderful and diverse group of people. The Staff are friendly and fun!

I am not a comic book fan but based on my sons and their needs, this place rocks. The space is ample and a lot of diversity more than other locations nearby but understandable when space/​price is at a premium. My boys always come away with something and without breaking the bank … usually.

One of the best places to bust a nerdgasm! The staff is awesome and knowledgable (even accountable… how rare is that?!?), the store filled with fun in every nook and cranny, and the customers are awesome to be around. I have a subscription for my monthly comic books and receive a discount for doing so! Who doesn’t love a discount! (Items are reasonably priced and there are always sales and promotions to help you find that thing you never knew you always wanted)
There is an entire social life to this store. Comedy Shows, Concerts, Outings, Gaming, Signings, and even cookies! COOKIES!
I’ve been shopping here for several years… and will, I am sure, for many more!

It’s been fine the times I’ve gone through browsing, a pretty decent layout for the space they have. But I was pretty turned off when I discussed getting a possible subscription from them.
I had recently moved about a block away and needed a new comics shop. I was told the discount for having a subscription was based on the number of books I bought per month, but without actually telling me what the limit was. When I sent them my subscription list, which amounted to over $ 100 per month in books, I was told it wasn’t enough to qualify me for their top-​level 20% discount. Considering I was coming from a downtown Boston store that gives you 20% off if you buy 5 books a month or 500 a month, feeling like I’d be pressured to keep my buying at a high level just to get my discount to 20% wasn’t what I was looking for.
Definitely understand that everyone has to make their money, but as someone that spends over two grand a year in this industry, I was a little insulted to be told the value my business was mediocre at best.

I have been going to Comicazi for years now, in 3 or 4 locations and I’ll follow them anywhere. The staff is great and many have become personal friends. The selection is fantastic. The store hosts all sorts of fun events like trivia, concerts, book signings, a few different book clubs and a bunch of other things I can’t even remember now. It’s the best, I’m not sure what more to say!

I LOVE Comicazi! I remember loving it the last time I visited too; too bad they’re a bit of a hike from where I live. All around the perimeter of the store, they have vintage toys from floor to ceiling. I walked around half the time with my mouth hanging open, I was so enamoured.
They have a gaming area in the back room, which is also where they have a few Rubbermaid bins filled with toys. I sat on the floor and rummaged through bins. I totally emptied one bin into my lap so that I could keep track of what I’d already seen. No one bothered me as I did.
They also have tons of current comics and back issues. When I asked about the back issues I wanted, a clerk took them out of a box and set them on a stool for me so that I could look at them better. Unfortunately, I had all the back issues they had. The clerks were very friendly and helpful.
And I got three «new» toys! Yay! If this store doesn’t make you feel like a kid again, there’s something wrong with your inner child.

Comicazi is an excellent community establishment that all comic book fans in the area should support. They gladly allow use of their space for book clubs and other meetups. They have a small stand of free comics available daily and their prices are fair. I usually shop here monthly for my students (and sometimes myself!) and am often given a small discount… just because. The staff is pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable.
Their comic book/​graphic novel stock caters to adults and kids alike, and also highlights local writers/​artists. They also sell toys and collectibles with wide range of prices, fandoms, and quality (used/​new). In addition, you’ll find a selection of tabletop games and books, as well as a smattering of figurines.
If you’re in the area, you should definitely check out Comicazi for your geeky needs.

I was at this store twice this week. But I don’t want anyone reading this to think I am biased. I have been to all manner of comic book stores in the New England area, and having that much experience I feel very comfortable endorsing this shop above many others I’ve been to.
When one walks into Comicazi, at first glance it looks kind of like a book shop. But it is so much more. Turn the corner and you will see all sorts of loose toys in the window. They have a nice selection of board games, and as you move further into the shop there are many shelves of comic books. The sections of comics are separated by small display cases of toys as well, allusions to what you’ll see if you head straight down the back.
The back of the store is home to thousands of action figures. If you need a particular figure for your collection, odds are that you could find it here. Star Trek, Star Wars, Walking Dead, Marvel, DC, different movies that had figures made for them over the years… They just have so many it’s staggering, and even more so when you see they’re piled to the ceiling.
I have bought three figures here now during my two visits. The prices are very reasonable. I actually asked the owner if one of the more expensive figures could be discounted at all. He said no initially. BUT when he realized he did not have a bag big enough to hold it, he did take 10 dollars off the price. Which was very nice of him.
Comicazi is your friendly neighborhood comic store, and if you live within 20 miles it’s definitely worth the drive. It is one of the best comic shops that the Boston area has to offer.

Every comic shop has a focus. This store is very toy focus. I’m not saying this is a bad thing. If you’re in the market for old action figures, Card games, or board game characters, you will love this place. However, if you’re a comic book fan, the selection of rare comics is pretty much nonexistent. There’s a handful of comics on the wall that commanded a higher price.
There is a good selection of back issues in the bins, but the condition wasn’t all that great. I guess that explained the low prices on them. This store is definitely more focused on toys and games.

My new favorite store in the world. Good God, the selection!
Up here in Somerville for the weekend from NYC, who knew I’d find the such a killer shop with the amazing combination of a great comic book/​manga collection, awesome variety of board games, vintage and new figurines, and tons of stuff for your CCG needs?
Comicazi has all of the above, with some really cool and friendly dudes to help you out. Looking for a back issue of a comic? Just leave the name and issue number with them and they’ll order it for you! These guys are knowledgeable and the prices are decent. You’ll find some deals here, whether it be $ 5 comic book bundles, $ 10 figurines, or $ 1 Heroclix. that no one actually uses to play Heroclix, but as figures for D&D. My friends and I spent quite the while sifting through those boxes.
The board game selection is pretty great, too. There are some classic games for the casual gamer, as well as more intense/​rule-​heavy ones for those who like Arkham Horror/​Mansions of Madness. Other miscellaneous stuff they carry include t-​shirts, magnets, pins, boxes of loose matchbox cars for .50, and more.
This place is definitely a must-​see in the area, and a definite pit-​stop any time I come up here again.

If you are looking for a comic shop with a large selection of comics and collectables, plus a strong sense of community, this is your place.
This is a big store with lots of stuff (comics, toys, collectables, t-​shirts) The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.
Comicazi also has lots of great events, including table top gaming, trivia nights, board game nights, drawing events, cartoon/​movie viewing, comedy nights, a book club… I could go on! Most of the events that aren’t free (many are) only cost $ 1. They are also incredibly supportive of local writers, artists and crafters. Many of the above mentioned t-​shirts are designed by local artists. Also don’t miss the greeting card rack and the Dalek or Galactus themed birthday cards (also made by a local artist).

Your one stop shopping for all your comics and collectibles!
Comicazi has a nice, wide range of new & vintage toys and collectibles. If there’s something you’re looking for from the last three decades, chances are they’ll have it — or be able to help you get it! Dave, the «Toys» guy is always friendly and is great to chat with.
They also have a great selection of comics/​graphic novels and gaming needs.

Despite fancying myself an alpha nerd, i have to shamefully confess near-​illiteracy regarding comic books. When the rowdy crowd applauded the post-​credits stuff during «The Avengers», i’m like, «what the heck was that?» (Not the shawarma, obviously). As it turned out, it was a random selection from Unilocal’s events listing that brought me to Comicazi – a cookie festival! Since cookies are one of my major food groups, i could scarcely stay away. So off the girl and i hiked to Davis Square.
This was a fascinating experience. For one, on a Saturday night, i was deeply shocked to enter a comic book shop to find women vastly outnumbering men (sorry, obvious joke, but try to have sympathy – i went to a school where the opposite was the case; dramatically so). But more entertainingly, the place was crammed with toys as much as it was comic books. New ones, old ones, ones i remember from the ’80’s.
It was a good thing i was so distracted by all the cookies, else i might have spent an irresponsible amount of money on something wholly useless. But awesome.
Anyway, i can’t speak as to how good a comic book store it is, but all i know is that someday when my resolve is weak, i’ll probably be back.

Awesome comics and collectibles shop! The dudes that work there rock and did you know they put on local comedy a couple times a month? This place has everything you could want in nerdom.
TARDIS mugs? Check. Peewee Herman figurines? Check. Abstract indie comics and local zines? Check.
Their bathroom has a Green Lantern toilet seat cover and a creepy yoda poster. It adds character. You should go just to be weirded out by that.

First things first, I am not a comic book kind of person. I have no idea about comic books. I have no idea about most of the games at Comicazi. But, what I do know is great customer service and Comicazi has it.
I was doing some Christmas shopping about a week before Christmas, I am a fan of Davis Square and love to support local businesses. I decided to check out Comicazi since my fiancé has a penchant for stuff that I thought Comicazi would sell.
Imagine my surprise when I walked into the store on a Friday night and was helped out by the owner, Mike, and showed various T-​shirts. I was looking for a specific one and I actually was able to find it in my size, which is always nice. Then I looked at a few more T-​shirts and bought my fiancé a cool «Winter is Coming» T-​shirt since A.) Winter was coming and B.) it was from Game of Thrones — a tv show that he is obsessed with.
There was a dog in the store too, and I am usually afraid of dogs but this dog was friendly.
The prices seem fair here and I can’t say enough about the strong level of customer service.
One important thing I cannot dismiss… they have a life size statue of E.T. — as in E.T. the Extra Terrestrial. I saw this move in 1982 in the movie theatre with my parents and I think my baby sister. I was four, I was HORRIFIED watching that movie and to this day I cannot look at that creature. I even called my fiancé when I was in the store to tell him that I was going to cry/​scream/​run outside and have my first ever panic attack!
But.
I kept it together. I even had Mike take a picture of me with my phone so I had photographic evidence that I saw E.T. and have a picture of me and E.T. to prove it. I think Mike may have thought I was crazy.
He may be right.

Well played, Mr. Collectibles Emporium Guy, well played.
