Decent store but really lacking in comics. The store is clean and the staff is friendly, but I would've preferred a better selection and any back issues.

If you’re in Boston and Cambridge and you’re looking to buy Manga, this is the place to be. Other places nearby have small sections with a handful of popular series, but here they have a decent chunk of the store dedicated to manga.

A great Newbury Comics location. I mostly took pictures of the vinyl but that is slightly less than half the store, the rest of the store being pop culture merchandise. Prices are average too. This is a great place to browse and find something new.

Great location, probably the newbury with the most variety in this area. Late shop and friendly staff.

It’s a really good newbury comics. Location is great. I’m really sad that the garage will be closing, this, chameleon, and audio lab are basically the only remaining businesses. Once the garage closes for good, Harvard square as I knew it is dead.

There was an event going to take place 9/2/22 where emails were sent out 8/23/22 to purchase tickets to attend the event for YUNGBLUD. His new self-titled album was set to be released the day of this event as well, however at midnight. The email said there was a signing & a performance. Either way I’d still buy them, but I’d feel more secure knowing what to expect, how to plan etc. My immediate family, whom I lovingly call, “The 6 Pack of Awesome-ness”, includes myself (ofc), my 28 yr old daughter & her son (my 4 yr old grandson), my 12 & 11 yr old daughters & my 7 yr old son all love & adore him beyond words. While in the process of buying our tickets, we called Newbury Comics to ask if in fact we’d meet him and he’d sign the album. We were told emphatically yes & that after everyone received theirs a performance would take place. Not much else was able to be answered for us. We had to act quick too, being that we were unsure of how quick tickets would sell. We couldn’t find out if we needed to purchase the cd or the pink vinyl. The vinyl was $20 or so more than cd. Many other necessary details were unable to be given to us. Ultimately we purchased 6 tickets, 4 for cds & 2 albums. We then kept checking different places online & calling off and on for any updates. Each time being told that yes everyone will meet & have signed their album then wait for the show. But we found out other details right up until the day of the event & we were all sitting there, 2nd in line waiting for what we were still unsure exactly was going to take place. We spoke to 3 people in total that worked there, starting from when we bought the tickets. We found out that there would be 2 separate shows, the 1st at 8 for whomever bought cds & the 2nd at 915 for vinyls. The most frustrating thing now was we were told when we called while trying to find parking, that the albums were already signed and that there would be a question and answer time somewhere during the show and anyone could raise their hands to ask something. But that was then also changed to everyone would stand in line that wanted to ask a question and u would go up to the mic when it was your turn to ask something. After staying overnight in our hotel patiently waiting to go to the show, then waiting from 1230pm til things started about 810pm, our hopes and excitement were constantly being tested and it was a roller coaster of emotions. Throughout 10 days leading up to the event the amount of misinformation we received, and the lies we were told are unthinkable, unfair, unethical, irresponsible, unprofessional, and just wrong. No question and answer type thing ended up even happening either. We all remained positive, no matter what, cos that’s the way I am & have raised my babies to be. We make the best of situations, as best we can sometimes, so for us all that day it still resulted in a memorable few days, as we all were able to attend both shows, we were all together front row only a couple feet away having the time of our lives singing, dancing, & listening to YUNGBLUD’s amazing voice belt out his new songs. Many times thru the shows he came over to us, and focusing on my 7 yr old son & 4 yr old grandson, playing the guitar, singing, & dancing w/them. Both shows were nothing short of what we always know YUNGBLUD to be, & that includes fookin mental, amazing, fun, exciting, happy +⬆️ !!!!So while it’s very wrong, in every way& for whatever reason, what Newbury Comics did & how they handled things, nothing got in the way of our beautiful mindset. What we set out to do was a success.I hope they will change their ways of doing business. To add a side not: even if lies were told, due to the fact that these workers didn’t know the answers to the questions being asked, it doesn’t change the fact that it was still a lie. For me I would’ve rather been told they were unsure because they weren’t given all the details or something to that effect. I hope this review will help someone in the future, if it ends up they are

Somewhat hidden in the upper floor of The Garage, Newbury Comics offers a large selection of American comic magazines and albums, Manga, LPs, books, anime figures and all kinds of merchandise and much more. I personally loved to find some stranger retro-sci-fi stuff among the many DC and Marvel comics. Friendly staff. I will visit soon for the next issue.

Love the store and the friendly staff. If you're looking for your next graphic novel, give them a try. They have a good selection and you don't risk getting damaged books like you do when you order online.

The employees follow you around with a rag & spray cleaner spraying everything constantly. Not a fun shopping experience.
