Comicopia: the name says it all. It's an overflowing cornucopia of comic books that are "highbrow, lowbrow...and everything in between". Whether you're looking for an obscure manga or simply want to pick up the latest issue of X-Men, Comicopia is the place to go! The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, all-around-cool, and able to help you find whatever your heart desires. Seriously, last time I was here I ended up with a 20-book haul ranging from Steven Universe to Rick and Morty to The Punisher.
Conveniently located near Kenmore Square, Comicopia is just down the street from both the Kenmore and Hynes Convention Center MBTA stations. They get new comic books in every Wednesday, and even if you can't make it into the store they offer mail order options. Don't forget to check out their Free Comic Book Day (1st Saturday in May), where you can get tons (and I mean tons!) of books and fun add-ons free of charge. Your comic collection will thank you!
