I've been an avid collector of assorted items, mostly comic books and printed publications from Marvel and DC and other misc. ( Frank Miller ) since the age of 9 in the borough of Bklyn. Since 1993 I have been residing in Staten Island. I'm still an occasional collector of specific items, mostly from Frank Miller ( Sin City ...Hard Boiled). 90% of these purchases are from JHU Comics, owned by Nick. I have been making these purchases since JHU has opened. Over the course of residing in SI I have spend A few thousand on collectable items. I'm moving in the next few months and wanted to sell roughly 90% of my collection. I took these back to JHU and Nick to sell at a loss. I presented to Nick and I was told he had no interest in 90% of the items even though they were purchased there at JHU Comics. I was shocked...!! He was very happy to sell these items to me at a good profit but had no interest in purchasing them back. Even if I took a hell of a loss. I think a GOOD retailer would be more than happy to purchase merchandise that he sold to me back even with me taking a considerable loss. Nick is more than Happy taking my money but returning even a very portion of that money he is unwilling to do. Wow..!! And he wants you to be a repeat costumer. Sorry..! No thank you.. Nick doesn't like to play fair at all.... His store will never see my face again... To his response: he comments that a buyer shouldn't think of a retailer as a BANK.... But..!! He does think of every buyer as a bank..!! To purchase and endless amount of comic books..Nick is FULL OF HIMSELF... He Knows The Line and What to say..Every retailer I ever dealt with over the last 50 years at most times he would act in good faith and buy back merchandise that I purchased . He may have only given back 25-30 cents on a dollar but he played fair to some extent since he would like you to be a...
Read moreWent in to buy some premium Pokémon trading card boxes and at first sight everything seemed okay, but when I opened them I noticed every single pack was resealed, even the premium shining fates box had packs inside of it from a different set, every single pack was resealed and when I called to ask the owner about it he pretended like he didn’t know what I was talking about, I spent over $130 dollars for resealed merchandise, please do not go and buy any kind of cards from this store.........follow up response to the owner, the premium box was not shrink wrapped, I’ve been collecting cards for a long time, I have picture evidence as well boss man, the shining fates premium box that I purchased today had champions path packs inside of them, do not try to play any games to cover yourself and your store. The boxes were clearly tampered with and when I was purchased them I gave one back because the box opened on its own without me even touching it. I could care less about what I pulled or didn’t pull, this review is about your store selling resealed products....
Read moreWe have been loyal customers of this comic book store for many years, ever since we were kids. It’s been a place we’ve loved visiting, and now we bring our own children, who are huge fans of comics. However, during our most recent visit, we were deeply disappointed and shocked to see a prominent display of books at the front counter that push Palestinian propaganda.
After flipping through these books, it was clear they were filled with misinformation and a distorted version of reality. What’s even more troubling is that there were no books offering a balanced perspective or representing the Israeli side of the story.
It’s incredibly upsetting to see this kind of material being promoted in a place we once trusted, especially in a way that could influence and mislead children. We will not be returning to this store, and neither will our friends or family. It’s unacceptable for a local comic book store to push such biased and harmful content onto its customers,...
