Overpriced to prey on tourists. Try other stores like orbital comics for fairer prices
Roser BlascoJanuary 8, 2013
Geek impulse purchases and presents.
Theo ColeridgeMarch 4, 2014
If you come here do not expect to pay for a cheap comic. Minimum price = 4.99

Trip to Forbidden planet
DamienOctober 19, 2017
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.
Sergio F.May 13, 2015
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.
Fabienne FeltenDecember 30, 2019
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.
Gamescollection.itNovember 18, 2012
Semplicemente uno dei negozi più nerd di Londra! Un must per ogni appassionato di Manga, Videogames e merchandise vario!
Ana MassonMarch 11, 2018
Loja de quadrinhos e colecionáveis; tem um excelente acervo de encadernados e livros no subsolo
EnriqueJune 26, 2016
El templo londinense del lector de cómics y coleccionista de merchandising. Ojo, que tiene dos plantas. Lo importante está abajo.

АААААААААААААААААА! Просто потрясающее место для всех, кто ценит комиксы, сериалы, игры и прочее!

Se você é nerd, este é o paraíso. Não deixe de ir ao subsolo.
Mateus PotumatiSeptember 24, 2012
Loja completamente insana pra quem gosta de quadrinhos ou sci-fi. O ouro está no subsolo. Tente se controlar.
