Fordham Comics - Comic Books Near Me - Bronx, New York

I came here to find Yugioh cards, and this was successful with a large selections. You can find other cards as well. Make sure to go up the stairs, two flights to get up there. Has an old school feeling to it. read more

Comic Book Store prices are fairly standard unless you are collecting, it seems. What makes this store a standout for me is the fact that kids can come in and have a safe spot to play their trading card games, like Magic the Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh. That n'hood vibe is precious. The owner is always there. And will tell you that he has been there for over 25 years. If he knows you will be a customer, he can handle your needs. read more

This is a pretty nice, secluded, old school looking comic shop. They've been there for over twenty-five years, approximately thirty-one years if I recall correctly. The entrance is a bit hidden but it's connected to a nail salon, tattoo parlor, and finally the comic shop on the third floor. Inside the shop you can tell that their main focus is on card games, Magic The Gathering to be specific. They have a large assortment of cards, and the owner is bother very generous and helpful when selling or describing the certain expansions or core sets to you. They also offer Friday Night Magic, an official MTG event for players to come and duel against one another. Don't rely on my word for this but I was told they have drafts with a $15 buy in, for which you get 3 packs to play with and keep. The winner gets a prize of 8 packs, second place gets 4~, and so on. However, please don't rely on my word for the prior. Anyways, it's a cool little shop to take a look in and to buy your Magic The Gathering cards, or comics. I'm looking forward to joining in some casual events on the weekends. read more

A true collectors dream wether you collect comics, figures, or statues the owner is very pleasant willing to help you find anything your looking for in the piles and piles of comic book long boxes! A lot of Bowen statues! And the owner has a passion for Play Arts! So he has, and tries to order every release! A great collectors corner On the other hand comics is not the market it use to be so the store is usually packed with high school student playing cards which he also sales. I would give this place 5 stars but it's so hard to find! It's literally a hole in a wall spot very easy to miss. It's a third floor above a tattoo parlor (red dragon) above a bootleg electrics store. read more

This is a great local comic store. The owner is very friendly, funny but best of all helpful and knows what he sells. In my opinion a big focus of this store is in magic the gathering. You can always count on there always being plenty of different mtg sets available. The place can use a bit of dusting and remodeling, but that's to be expected from a store that's been standing for over 30+ years. All In all, great find, great environment and its an amazing place to go and find something new. read more

I lived in NYC for a few years before I found Fordham Comics. I wasn't enjoying the lack of community in stores around the city. With fond memories of preNYC life where comic store owners talk to you and learn about your tastes, suggesting or giving freebies for books you may like... I was not happy with what NYC offered in that regard. In my experience, everywhere else besides Fordham Comics , the NYC comic shops consider you just another number. this guy gets it. I don't always agree with him! haha, but I totally respect and will return to buy books whenever I can make it up to Fordham read more

See all

First, the store not organize except the cashier place. Second, the place is not that clean. Really I'm not lying as I say this. There are boxes everywhere. Last of them all is that, they will kick you out of the store if you decide to browse the comic to see if they are right ones. They are many more problem with this place that I can say, but these are the top ones. The only good thing about it is that they have table and chair . That the only thing I find good thing about it and it's not a good one if the only good thing is that you have chair and table. --Tigervsbird read more

I went here planning on buying stuff. The place is a little dirty and clustered, but didn't mind much. The problem was with the owner. I just had a simple question on their products and the guy seemed to have a little attitude problem asking me what I wanted specifically and whatnot. All I wanted to do was see the stuff I wanted and see what they had. It looked like he was annoyed that I even bothered him and was impatient. Will not be coming here. There's another card shop nearby, I would recommend going there instead. read more

My opinion of comic stores in the bronx is really taking a nose dive, I visited Fordham comics 8 years ago and I found it to be a decent little comic shop but after moving to NYC and going back there this past year oh how the times they are a changing. This place stinks. I dont think anyone has taken a broom to the place in years, where there used to be comics displayed around the whole store now all thats left are piles and piles of dusty back bin boxes and open space filled with trash. The new comics are in a old comic spinner rack you would find at the local drug store. My opinion, avoid and just go to the city for your comic book needs read more

An okay comic shop. Been here a couple of times before. A decent place I'm not a comics fan but more of a Japanese manga fan/reader so this place definitely needs work on getting more mangas into the store for sure. They have a wide variety of magic cards and other tcgs. The store needs heavy cleaning as well it was super dusty and had an old smell. If they fix those problems this store would get things rolling for the positives again. read more

Driving late was heading home and decided to stop by. Parked my car had to call the shop to try and find it. Finally was guided to take it up to the tattoo shop he was on the last floor. Small shop back issues still marked at cover price. I was gonna pay with my card and he wanted me to spend 25 dollars just to use my card. Needless to say I would not come back here. There's another comic shop in the Bronx on Riverdale, Magnum comics your better off going there. read more

This place is very nice, it had lots of trading cards(such as yugioh and more)and also good prices, phil even offered me sleeves for my yugioh cards read more

Difficult to find but well worth the effort. My favorite place to find hard to find books. The owner is knowable and attentive. A true collectors dream. Not to be judged by any other standard but its own. I fully endorse this store. read more

It's a place to play, people are nice. The owner seems like he doesn't care too much about upkeep and maintenance of the place though. It's really filthy, I think I saw a mouse and a few roaches. There are old arcades that are off just taking up space and junk all over. read more

I went there Friday with friends and the place looked disheveled and neglected. The people and owner seem friendly. But that place needs tons of care in order for it to be a refutable playing spot. read more

As I got back in to comics after my first visit to midtown comics early this year. It was an excellent experience. And I thought it was a good thing that I found a comic book store in the Bronx in Fordham seeing is how I used to go to Magnum comics when I was in JHS and every time I was on the Bx22 I would always see the pictures on the window and the sign, so I decided to go in to check it out for myself with my fiancee and we didn't like what we saw stacks of file boxes on top of each other making it difficult to move around. Shutdown old arcade games full of dust, very disorganized and only a handful of newly released comics on three racks. The tattoo shop on the second floor looked more clean and organized than the comic store. A few minutes after we walked in someone did ask if I needed help but I politely declined and later on when I tried to ask for something the same person who asked me a few minutes earlier completely ignored me and just walked right by me. Never again will we go to that store. Unless it becomes more organized I'll just stick to going to Midtown comics really friendly staff I also might check out Magnum comics as a friend told me that their still open but in a new location. read more
