Zapp Comics is located in the middle of the Valley Ridge Shopping Center, which is anchored by…read moreWhole Foods. Shop is long and narrow but very well stocked and organized. Zapp has a good selection of graphic novels, card game items, toys and collectables, and Pop Vinyl's. Wall book selection was nice. The selection of long and short boxes was fair but very well organized. Some items are not reachable, but the staff are helpful when you want to see something and bring it down for you. Overall, Zapp Comics with absolutely worth a stop and one of the better shops in this part of New Jersey.

This was an interesting experience. Not your typical comic shop by ANY means, but still pretty fun…read moreto see and marvel at just HOW MUCH STUFF IS IN HERE! If you're looking for old stock to complete a collection, chances are, this is where you want to be. Majority of the warehouse *is* old stock with a smaller section for newly released comics. To me that's not really a downside because if you wanted new comics you could go literally anywhere else. But if you're looking for treasures, hard to find older issues, or just older comics in general that you want to read and don't care about the resale value or the condition it's in, this is the place for you. It's a place for collectors and enthusiasts that are searching because they want to own something, not because they're trying to hold it for resale. As for me, I was able to grab Star Wars IV, V, VI in comic form which I never even knew they made, just $5 each. I think this is a must-visit for comic lovers and I'm SO glad our uncle brought us here. Even if you aren't looking for anything, you really need to go just to see how many comics are on these shelves. It's mind-blowing.

I shopped there for 7 years, in those 7 years I have had employees forget to ring up half my order where I had to make sure I paid afterwards because the staff was so incompetant, A covers for DC comics floppies (typically 3.99 at the time)were being charged to me as 1 in 25 incentive variant prices (like $24.99), I was charged for products i didn't purchase, and was treated like shit, either because it was me, because I expected people to take pride in their work, or because I was Albanian, or handicapped. If you must go to comicbook store, go anywhere but there. Anyone that tells you different has probably eaten boxes full of Lead Paint chips cereal.

The difference is that he DOES like the comic books and graphic novels. So, on "Free Comic Book Day" a few Saturdays ago I brought my son to a couple of comic book shops and let him have some fun. He picked up the freebies, but also bought some others...which made me happy for him. Funnybooks is a really tiny shop, but the owner (Steve I think) was AWESOME with keeping people orderly and providing both assistance and keeping everyone smiling. In the space next to his shop he had a ton of other comics at discounted prices and also had some local artists that were quite amazing. My son has already asked to go back. How can I say no to a kid who loves to read and has found a way to connect his love of reading with his love of comic book heroes and villains?

There is also a nice little group of regulars that will hang out and talk to each other as they see each other in the store. We have since moved out of the area but my wife will still make it a point to go out of her way to support this small business. Im sure it helps having a nice owner. From one small business man to another..Thank you Steve for all you do and your hard work running this store. Please make sure that you stop by Funny Books if you can.

This, I believe, is the flagship location for Midtown Comics…read more Every now and then, I come here, especially during Free Comic Book Day, where you can get a selection of free comics. I've always liked their customer service and how they handle long lines. The value here is really good; there are a lot of cheap bargain-bin comic books alongside really nice collectibles. This is a great place to shop, especially if you're looking for a souvenir or gift. If you're not from New York, this would be a great spot to pick up a souvenir and experience a piece of the city's comic book culture.

I've been coming to Forbidden Planet for years. I find they have a very solid selection. The shop…read moreitself it's so spacious and pretty dope to peruse. Their prices are pretty standard across most NYC comic shops. But, I find their service to be their hallmark. On so many occasions, staff has gone out of their where to look for a book I couldn't find, grab me something I missed while I'm checking out, and just offer a warm and positive attitude while I'm there. I think this is a solid shop and I always recommend it to people looking for comics in NYC.

Good comic selection, and the atmosphere is pretty cool. Prices on comics aren't great frankly, but…read moresadly there aren't a whole lot of comic shops close so for the most part you're stuck here. Your only other option is Midtown Comics which is much better in every way. I've been going here for years though both to get stuff and to walk around, and it's still not bad. However the workers there are very rude a lot of the time. It's kind of been like this ever since I've been there. Like they're either not that willing to be helpful or they are actually straight up rude. After years of going to this place I actually saw a figure I wanted for the first time in one of the glass cases, and decided to grab one. Unfortunately there was a little small sign on the OTHER case that said don't open. After I basically got my figure out one of the employees stopped me. I profusely apologized once I realized my mistake, and still the employee told me around five times not to open even after I stepped away and apologized many times. But still I stood there and apologized for the display (a bunch of boxes). Then he gave me what I wanted (after I already basically did it myself) and then I went to the register. I then said "sorry I've been going here for years but I never got something out of the case before so I didn't know." And then another employee (who by the way was facing the case the whole time) said "It's behind glass for a reason", as if I'm in a museum. I apologized and left. The staff has been rude and entitled before but this has been my worst experience yet. Fun to walk around in, but it's hassle actually going here.
