The comic shop for those who actually read and collect comics ... plenty of cards and toys as well, family friendly with just the right amount of sassy retort! read more

I have been going to Boom Tube for the past 2 years and Dan Always has the best selection of comic books figures and trade backs inthe area. His knowledge of comics and quick wit keeps me coming back every week. Great value on older comic in stock. Very fair and a respectable business. read more

The best comic store around. There is a reason Boom Tube has won CT Insides Best Comic Book store for three years running and best Toy store this year. Lots of books, new and old, with a great wall book selection. Friendly environment, and welcoming atmosphere. Have met many people I consider good friends here, including the store owner Dan. Dan always runs a fair business, discourages scalpers by not allowing single people to buy out hot merchandise, and always sells at MSRP on release while other shops are charging eBay prices. read more

Don't try to shift the blame to me. I was never delinquent picking up my pull list other then when I decided to stop patronizing your store. "Constantly asked for exceptions to store policies" is a load of crap and you know it. Don't lie, Dan. I was never anything but a loyal customer. If you want to air out grievances here on this public forum, I can gladly do so. Why don't you talk about how miserable you are and how it reflects in your customer service? A few other reviewers seem to have the same thoughts about that. When someone walks in the door it's a toss up if you'll get Harvey or Two-Face. Most of the time it's the latter. Or should we discuss how you put RFK Jr. campaign flyers in your customers' bags and then badger them about his policies? Or how a simple question about moving turns into a political debate with you? How about how you allow a gaggle of idiots to stand around your store cursing while children are present as you laugh along? And the only reason you stopped was because your wife said something to you? Would you like me to continue? read more

Boom Tube Comics is one of the best comic book shops around. They have a huge variety of comics that are displayed neatly and organized and if you are looking for something specific the staff is always willing to help. Most of the comics in the shop are the recent issues, but if you are looking for something older, they may have it in storage and can arrange for it to be in shop your next visit. They have everything catalog in their system and if they don't have it available, they can order it too. I have become a regular, but I have yet to start a pull list. There are a few perks in starting a pull list; your comics are board and bagged, plus discounts! I'm new to comic book collecting and I'm not that serious just yet. A long with all of their comics, they have comic compilation books, graphic novels, and even a small selection of kids' books. They also have TCG and CCG, all reasonably priced too. You can buy singles and sometimes have booster and hobby boxes. read more

Owner yelled at me across the store to take a lollipop out of my mouth like I was a child, and I was going to ruin the merchandise. Very hostile and cramped environment, would not recommend . read more

I found myself comic book hunting and almost 3 out of five times I've been told to come here, and I finally have this place will not disappoint. They have a little bit of everything. Pricewise is good. Will be coming back again. Sadly, I was in a rush last minute. read more

Boom Tube Comics is easily the best comic shop around! Dan and Karen (how many places do you get to know the owners on a first name basis?) put so much love into their store, and it shows. They offer fair prices, a great selection, and even better company. Don't see what you're looking for? No problem. I spent years struggling to manage my Star Wars trade paperback release schedule on my own (there's a LOT to keep track of); then I found Boom Tube Comics, and now they special order them for me. I am so incredibly grateful for this place. You're more than "just a customer" here! read more

The owner, Dan is so nice and always up for a conversation. He's very knowledgeable about an array of comics and if he doesn't have something you're looking for...he will order it. The store is always clean and he constantly has new stuff in stock including figures and collectibles. I highly recommend this comic shop!! read more

Great spot! Clean and organized and the staff is always polite and helpful. Highly recommend.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Good selection of comics and back issues. I'd definitely visit again when traveling through the area.

Had a GREAT experience at Boom Tube comics. My daughter want to start reading My Little Pony comics and I decided to bring her to her 1st comic book store to pick some out. Luckily for me that store was closer to home than I thought. Not too far from 84 and right off the Meriden Waterbury Turnpike in Milldale. We checked out Boom Tube on our way home from Mothers Day brunch. As one person mentioned in an earlier review, Boom Tube leaves out older issues of in production comics so that you have more of an opportunity to pick up issues you may have missed. This will be very beneficial to me if my daughter continues reading comics as we dont get the chance to make it out as soon as a new issue is released. The owner was VERY personable and immediately looked to assist us with our experience. He even started up a conversation about the latest MLP releases. He also recommended which ones we should get including the team up of Transformers and My Little Pony (Got to love Hasbro). We will back again to buy more comics and it may become a regular place for us too. The 8 comics that we got will give us a good start! Thanks BOOM Tube! read more

Just brought my son and had a great experience. A true comic store with a focus on the books. Some great early additions. I will be back! read more

By far, the most welcoming comic shop I've ever been to. I'm fairly new to the hobby and Dan, the store owner, took time to introduce me to such a wide variety of books from many different publishers. The store is very clean and organized. He has answered any question I've ever had for him and now I come back every single week. Couldn't recommend this place enough for anyone new to comics, like myself, or long time readers! read more

Great selection. Great shop. Even better owner. He really looks out for all of his customers. I stop in every time I pass through town.

I recently started collecting again and this is my go to shop. Dan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and nice. You can tell he has a true passion for his business and the medium of comics. The fact that he leaves all recent issues on the shelf for several months at cover price despite the fact that he can charge a premium if he wanted to speaks to his character. Highly recommend! read more

This place is great. Friendly and knowledgeable. Conveniently located a few minutes from 84. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

This shop is amazing! After only being open for one year, it has already grown in its extensive collection of statues, local artists and back issues. What I enjoy even more is that the owner is a true fan as well and always open to chat about anything comics whenever I go in. He also always has a huge selection of current stock including a lot of Indy comic titles as well as the Majors... This shop is not only a stop whenever I travel north but a destination to go visit when I need anything comic related! Well worth the visit! read more

Fantastic experience visiting this shop. Dan, the Owner is exceptionally kind and helpful. He's willing to order something if he doesn't already have it. His pull list or sub list offers different perks as well. Great selection of new, solid selection of back stock as well. Clean, organized, well displayed. Even carries some collectibles and lots of trade paperbacks or graphic novels as well. There aren't many LCS like this anymore especially not in this area. Hands down, the best comic shop in the state. I've been to quite a few of them. Non can hold a candle to what Boom Tube has. Can't ask for more, especially if you're in the area and looking for a comic shop. read more

I am leaving 5 stars but more so just want the owner to know, on Tuesday I came, had 300 bucks in cash that I wanted to spend on a ton of collected editions. He said Tuesday was curbside only, said he didn't have time to go shopping for me. I went to the one in new haven spent all my money there and will continue to spend my time there weekly. Oh well, I think if he nice if the website was updated to indicate curb side only on Tuesday or if the guy just let me walk in for 15 minutes which is all it took me in new haven to spend my money since I had a organized list read more
