I came here to pick some action figure collectibles. Very good selection from old stock to new. They also have a huge selection of funko pops which seem to be popular now.

Nice spot to hangout/browse/shop/kill time while waiting for the movie to start next door. They have a great selection of figurines and merchandise from my favorite shows. The staff is friendly too. Not a avid comic book reader so my review is just about how pleasant it is to stop by this place once in a while. Always a good experience.

A nice neighborhood comic book store. It has a nice selection of toys, a small back issue section and, of course, all the newest comic books every week. The reason why I come in here most often is because of the trade paperbacks. They have a large selection and every now and then there are sales. I stop by this place a lot because it is right next to the movie theater so it’s great for killing time before or after a movie. Often I’m coming out of a comic book movie and feel the need to stop in just like I did after Guardians of the Galaxy.

This place is awesome. Always shiny and well organized. The owner and the crew are super friendly. They go out of their way to answer your questions and recommend things. They usually have everything I need and when they don’t, they try to get it for me. They always have discounts and great deals on back issues. They also keep up with new products, from new action figures and toys to comic-centric t-shirts and accessories. It’s a great place to buy gifts from. I totally recommend this place.

I used to come here a lot because it’s the closest conmic book shop to me, and overall it was pretty solid. However, it had a few problems. Popular new issues(like Batman or Saga) would sell out pretty quickly, and the back issues weren’t organized in any discernable way. If I were to rate it a year ago, I would’ve given it three stars. BUTNOW all that has changed! Since then, they undergone some renovation and the store looks great! It looks way more organized and they have an impressive collection of graphic novels and manga. They also have plenty of toys for kids and adults alike! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Keep in mind if you’re paying by card the have a $ 10 minimum,. All in all, if you’re comics/manga fan in the Bay Ridge area, you should stop by Galaxy Comics.

Finest Kind, This is the place to go in Brooklyn for buying comics, Talking about comics and just the best place for comics outside of the convention. The owners are knowlegable, friendly and very helpful. They always have sales going on, some trades and some hard covers at 50% off and dont miss there one dollar bin, agreat chance to tryout new titles for only a buck. There is also a huge amount of toys, collectables and trinketes from comics, TV and movies even DVDs. They also sell sports cards, game cards and several other really fun stuff., Im sending my kids in to buy my gifts for Chtistmass, Fathers day and what ever. Weather you are a kid a collector or want to revisit your childhood, This is the place. Its clean well run and not a rip off in sight. Its next to a movie theather and sells a huge variety of candy in one section also at reasonable prices. So if tou are into Comics and come to Bay Ridge its worth a visit.

I always enjoy a visit to Galaxy Comics 2 in Bay Ridge based on their wide assortment of comics, trade paperback editions and action figures. If you are a fan of this kind of stuff, its pretty safe to say that you will be spending a little bit of money when you drop in. They have a wide assortment of the action figures and especially I have noticed a healthy amount of the miniature Marvel Comics characters along with whatever comics related film is currently on the big screen. They do have a supply of boards, bags and boxes for those who need them to properly keep your collection in order and safe from dirty hands. The staff is helpful enough when it comes to finding things you might be interested in but since comics and figures and the like are such a subjective and personal preference I feel its best to go with your gut instead of seeking an okay from someone else. Remember a merchant is there to sell you on their offerings at the end of the day. Sometimes other fans of the mediums are your best choice. Closing up I will add that GC2 also participates in «Free Comic Book Day» which is a wonderful thing. Kudos to them for giving something back to the patrons and fans of this kind of stuff.

Without claiming to be a comics and collectibles expert, I can say that this store seems perfectly adequate to meet your average comic-book-related needs. It’s right by the Alpine Cinema, so if the latest superhero movie is demanding that you purchase the tie-in merchandise, you don’t have far to go to shop. They’ve even got some movie snacks.

The management was changed in 2007(using Mike B.‘s review date) and it’s a mix for me. I grew up going here to play arcade games whether it be driving or fighting games. I miss these easily accessible games — especially the Marvel vs. Capcom one. However, it did get loud and obnoxious with all the cussing that happens here and there from neighborhood kids. Plus, the previous owner used to smoke indoors. Two things I will not miss. The new management has the store well spaced with easily accessible comics and items for customers. Much appreciated compared to the cramped viewing space before. Owners are friendly and help out with purchase questions. So, it’s a toss-up, but the new spot feels safer sans the secondhand smoke and random hooligans running amok.

One of the few comic book/baseball card shops in the area. They focus more on comics and have a large selection which are mostly recent releases. You also have a selection of toys and collectibles all around the store, there is alot to look at so plan in staying there for a few minutes to see their selections. The sports card selection is limited and all behind the front register, they have mostly 2010 releases any certain brands back to 2007 but nothing older. The two guys who run the place seem to know their comics better then their baseball cards.

Mike B nailed this review, spot on. It’s a small comics shop, with a decent selection, just don’t get your hopes up if searching for elusive back issues. Two things make this place stand out for me: 1. It’s not super cramped 2.The guys who work there. The two I’ve encountered are both pretty knowledgeable and talkative, more than willing to give you their opinion on any comic related subject.(Whether you want it or not.) Stop in, and stock up! Avengers assemble!

The new management has improved the place a lot! Removed all the video games, and all the foul-mouthed kids. Much more room to see the comics racks AND the toys. The staff know comics better than before. Nice selection for kids comics, convenient for the kids to browse apart from the more grown-up books. Small selection of back-issues, not particularly catering to collectors — but lots and lots of collected editions, often as discount prices. Subscription discounts, too. A small-fry operation, but decent and kid-friendly.
