We were passing by this town and we found this on yelp. We decided to stop by. The store is pretty big and has a ton of things. If you like comic books and cards you should definitely come here. My husband spend an hour here and purchased a few comics. Everything was reasonably priced nothing crazy. We had a pretty good experience. read more

Extremely disappointed in this store. Considered suing. After buying stuff here since I moved in August, I came in today to buy a book and after I got my credit card voucher, I asked for a receipt, which they were reluctant to give me. The owner was very upset someone would want to return something. He kept saying they did not do that (which was confusing because I had already exchanged a book once, a Superman collection) and that only Amazon did that and added that it was "the stupidest thing I have heard". I told him as politely as possible to not call me stupid, and will go back tomorrow to either get my money back. Either way, it's a good store for game playing, but not comics. No one ever knows about the comics I ask for. It's terrible owner is impolite and I wonder if it was because I am latin american? read more

Huge selection of comics and friendly and helpful staff. A big selection of tabletop gaming goodies was an unexpected surprise too - only with the carried BattleTech stuff too. read more

Sarge’s Comics - Venom comics - Toy Stores Near Me - New London, Connecticut

We were met by a very nice young lady. We inquired if they received the Justice League Vs. Godzilla Vs. Kong indicated they did have them if we just looked around they would be available in a few minutes we puttered around the shop and window and made a list of ideal people for Christmas gifts. When an hour had passed and they did not approach us even though we were the only four people in the store we asked again. The Owner rudely stated he had them but he was not putting them out until later. Fine, we could come back I asked very politely if he could please give us a ballpark time as we are in from out of state and wanted to get them for my son and nephew as gifts they are Autistic and had talked about this comic book for days. He very loudly and rudely just kept repeating later. I'm not sure if I'm a woman or if he's just a jerk to everyone. We found them at 2nd Alarm Comic 205 Foxon Road North Branford, CT, US 06471. They are Amazing! They held them while we drove the 45 minutes to get to them and gave the boys additional free comics. read more

Sarge’s Comics - Thank you 2nd Alarm Comics - Toy Stores Near Me - New London, Connecticut

I sometimes head up to this area for business, so you can imagine a Geek like me was absolutely delighted to see a comic shop like Sarge's in the area. This area has definitely seen better days, so the few businesses that have survived over the years shine like a beacon of hope against economic ennui. Sarge's Comics and Games is one of these businesses. Sarge's Comics and Games lives up to its name. The width of the store front already gives you a strong sense of the size of the store, but when you enter it is surprising how deep the store goes. The store is an exercise in paradoxical organization. Everything is very neat and labeled. There are cases of action figures and statues alongside shelves of comic books and long boxes containing back issues. In no way is the store "messy", however the arrangement of the items is somewhat random. There are toys in the front along with apparel. When you get to the comics, the newer issues are way towards the back, but there is a small section to the right where back issues of the old Shogun Warriors and Transformers titles from Marvel reside. As you walk through the store and swing around back towards the front you come across a gaming section. There is a robust gaming schedule on display in the front and I imagine the gaming nights are quite exciting here (I came on a sleepy afternoon). All that said, the staff is continuously cleaning things up, moving things around. They're not surfing the web behind the counter. Every time I come here they are busy keeping the store organized and clean. This store reminds me a lot of the old Forbidden Planet comic book shop in downtown Manhattan. No, not the current one (that I love). The old one that was across the street that was a bit musty and seemed to have a dusty basement feel to it. There was an air of authenticity to the white walls and the smell of paper and it is that ambience that Sarge's manages to also have. Most comic shops I grew up with were like this, so I was instantly in love with this place the first time I visited. There is no doubt you will find a wide variety of geeky items here. If you're looking for comics, you're solid. Gaming supplies? Not a problem. You may need help if you're looking for specific back issues and the vintage toys are hit or miss. Sarge's is one of my must-go-to stops whenever I visit this area. I'm very happy to see over five years after I discovered it the shop is still around. read more

See all

This place is huge!! Tons of pop culture items. They had toys from my childhood He-man, G.I. Joe, Transformers etc. Graphic novels and comics aline the walls with a good selection of back issues. There is a section for game play too. There is something for everyone here at this comic store, a treat for those who live locally. The staff was helpful when I was looking for a specific comic, will definitely seek this place our again when I visit the town of New London. read more

This place is fantastic. I was recently in New London for the first time on a short weekend trip, and as usual looked up any comic stores in the area I could check out in-between sight seeing. What a surprise to find Sarge's. This has the total old-school comic store vibe that is vanishing more and more these days -- they have plenty of new issues and toys and games, but also an awesome back issue inventory, old toys, old games etc. The staff was super friendly and helpful and honestly I would've spent another hour or two here if my itinerary and wallet were more accommodating. I'll absolutely be back to Sarge's! read more

I've been buying and playing at Sarges for years now. The staff are amazing! They are always willing to talk with you and try and special order anything you want and if they can't get it they will try and lead you in the direction of how to get it. Their selection of new and old comics is awesome! They have a great board game and miniature selection and plenty of room to play! It's in downtown New London and there are plenty of places to get food for a great day of gaming. read more

I've been going to Sarge's since it was a few doors over and in a much smaller space. Back then it wasn't de rigeur to be a geek, and even at the time, Sarge's was a special place, run by folks who truly knew their business, cared about their customers and community, and had the wherewithal to make it through the highs and lows of comics in the '90s. I believe they're now the largest comic book store in New England by square footage, and they use every inch of it to create a vault of nerd treasure. I'm so happy they've flourished alongside geek culture. They deserve their success. This is New England's equivalent to New York's Midtown Comics or SF's Isotope. read more

Recently visited this shop for the first time and it was awesome seeing an old school feeling shop like this. My sons loved it there and the fact that they had an old Mighty Morphing Power Rangers Megazord was enough for me! read more

Great comic shop! They have everything!! The owner is great, the staff is sociable... especially if you are a regular. They have back issues and current stuff. You can get a box for subscriptions or just buy as you go. They even do miniature gaming and magic if you are into that. One of the best comic shops I have ever been in. read more

What a fun place. I have a son that is currently deployed in Africa, 3/21 for a year. The staff is very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They helped me select some multiplayer games as well as a few comics to pass the time. read more

It can be overwhelming when you walk in but the staff is nice and helpful. I found exactly what I was looking for without any issues.

Great selection of comics and comic stuff. It's a pretty huge place so it's easy to get overwhelmed in the comic world; which really isn't a bad thing. read more
