    Overpriced to prey on tourists. Try other stores like orbital comics for fairer prices

    Parfait pour les geeks fan de goodies et les amateurs de comics, manga et bd. Je n'ai jamais vu ce type de magasin en France. Ça vaut vraiment le coup si vous voulez ramener un objet un peu geek.

    Parada obligatoria para el buen friki. Lo malo: no saber qué comprar (o que no te quepa en la maleta). Si eres turista resérvale una hora.

    Accessible pour toutes les bourses. Il faut pas y aller avec une idée précise car on y trouve surtout ce qui est très commercialisés. Mais sinon très bien.
