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.

Huge manga selection. My husband and brother used to come with me to D&D nights. Wish we didn't have to stop going, but New London just got too chaotic for us to the point where we try to avoid the whole city as much as we can

What an amazing shop! There is such a variety of both new and vintage collectibles. The layout is beautifully put together. If you are looking for comics, cards, statues, posters, graphic novels, vintage/new toys, games, etc then you should definitely check this place out!!

Was in town visiting and was recording a video for a friend who likes Harry Potter and Zelda of a small section in the store with my phone, the owner then walked by and passive aggressively said “usually people ask before they record in the store” I say oh and begin to apologize and he continues to be passive aggressive about the fact I recorded making the situation uncomfortable (I was trying to see if my friend would like me to pick anything up) so I have left without purchasing anything and won’t be back. Every bad review seems to be about the owner as well, I’m sure the staff are great or he would have more negative reviews. I have attached the video, obviously I stopped recording as soon as he said something because I don’t normally record things and it made me uncomfortable.

** Summary: There is a large comic selection, the employees are friendly, but Joe (store owner) was crass and gross towards me, a frequent paying costumer, while I flipped through a 1,000 page long comic compendium. The owner made my friends and I uncomfortable with his unprovoked aggressiveness. I will never be returning to this store and will advise everyone I know to avoid his business. **The employees are typically friendly. I was once a returning costumer, as I have bought multiple comics, and have brought over at least 10 friends, all new costumers, to this store due to the large comic selection. After yesterday, my friends and I will never be returning due to an incredibly nasty and ridiculously rude interaction with Joe, the store’s owner.After a very long day at Sailfest, supporting local businesses, I invited my friends over to the comic store while we waited for one of our favorite bars to open. I led my friends through the store and offered to pay for the comic he wanted. After guiding them, I decided to sit in a corner to rest as I had been walking around for at least 6 hours straight in the Festival, and my joint pain was flaring up. I quietly sat in a corner and decided to play with the idea of buying The Walking Dead Compendium Volume 1, which is over 1,000 pages. I had already bought the first chapter of the Walking Dead comic series from the store a few weeks before. Now, I decided to read about a few pages of the Compendium to decide if this was a worthy investment. It all seemed great as this also allowed my joints to rest for a few minutes while my friends finished up choosing comics, some of which I would help pay for.My boyfriend and my friend came to me after finishing choosing, and were able to witness how rude and classless Joe was with me after reading for a little less than 10 minutes. He stands less than 3 feet away from me saying “You cannot sit here and read comics, that’s not how this store works.” The look in Joe’s eye was threatening but I decided to respond kindly anyway by telling him “Oh I’m just reading a bit of the Compendium-“ to which he cuts me off by saying “I know what it is.” I’m very jarred by his aggressiveness as it is unprovoked and I continue saying “Yes I’m just reading a bit to see if it’s worth it.” He responds by lying and saying I had been “reading for over 15 minutes” and that I “can’t come into the store and not pay for anything.” I clarify and say that “I’m a returning costumer and that me and all of my friends are about to buy many comics altogether.” His response, with a smile on his face as if to mock me, was “That’s great, you cannot just read the comics.” Employees have never harassed me for flipping through comics because they see me buy them. That day, I saw several people reading through comics for several minutes (which makes sense as this allows us to see if we’re interested in buying) but I seemed to be the main costumer that was harassed, perhaps because I was sitting? Not sure. I stared back at him, dumbfounded at his treatment of paying costumers that are giving him business and after several seconds he told me (referencing my dumbfounded stare) that “he doesn’t care about my attitude.” All with a smirk on his face, as if to show that he enjoys harassing QUIET and PAYING costumers that are not bothering anyone in a pretty empty store. I sarcastically told him that he is a wonderful business man with incredible costumer service, and neatly put back the Compendium. My friends and I paid for the comics that we chose, because we are costumers with CLASS, and I told Joe, as I walked out the store, that I would be writing him a review that reflects his attitude but he chose to ignore me - all with that condescending smile, once again.I am friendly costumer so I have never been treated with such crass by any store owner before in my life. I feel bad for his employees, as I’m sure they don’t get paid enough to put up with his gross, juvenile and insensitive behavior.

Owner was rude to my friends when just taking a short video while looking at the merchandise. Wouldn't support again. Unfortunate because the inventory was unique and interesting and pricing was fair but the owner's behavior ruined our experience.

Owner was rude to one of my friend for recording their Harry Potter merchandise.If he doesn’t want people recording in his store that’s fine, but he can be less snarky about the whole situation

There was a good variety of the items that we were looking for. Warhammer,Dungeness and Dragons,Stalwart, and other items. Street parking was a little bit of a pain. Everything else was good

It's a large place with a variety of older and modern merchandise. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They have a varied and accommodating schedule for gaming. They've also been around a while! Staying power should say something about people's satisfaction with the establishment.

I love this store! It has been my go-to comic shop for over a decade. Before manga boomed in popularity during covid this was one of the only stores in the northeast with a huge variety to choose from.

So let me start off by saying, make sure you have a lot of time to browse! There are thousands of new and old comics to look through! We easily spent over an hour and still didn't look theough it all!

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.

Great game shop with knowledgeable people and a diverse selection. Comics, Manga, games and all sorts of n*** memorabilia. The Wednesday night dnd one shots are particularly fun. They also run Warhammer tournaments fairly regularly. Definitley worth checking out. Check out their Facebook page for more details
