Awesome people! Known Jack(owner) since I was little..always would buy my transformers and muppet comics here. Reasonable prices, great customer service, and Jim( previous owner) who also works there kicks ass! Wish I could give more stars. Bedrock comics is THE place to get your comics and toys!

Disclaimer: I just opened Hub Comics in Union Square, Somerville.
This shop is one of my inspirations.
One day while visiting the shop, I realized that the customers in there were mostly female. This flipped a switch in my brain, and I took note of what the shop was like.
Bedrock is the definition of a "friendly shop." The windows aren't pasted over with posters of half-naked women; instead, they're large and let people see in. Also, they generally leave the door open on nice days, and the floor is obviously vacuumed every day, unlike many man-cave comic shops. The staff is nice, and were very helpful with tips on opening my shop, by pointing me toward fixtures and giving a couple operating tips.
Their selection didn't strike me as particularly good or bad, but they have a few boxes of well-organized back issues and a wall of comic sets in bags at reasonable prices, as well as some interesting "wall books."
I wonder if they still have that Cerebus #1. Hmm.
Great people, nice shop, and right next door is a candy shop that sells the most delicious pumpkin fudge ever. Great place to go! -

For me this was the place that started it all. It was my first comic shop experience and has undoubtedly shaped the way I look at and judge all others.
From the street it's hard to miss the giant mural of Superman and the Hulk that covers the entire store front, but because it's located along a busy highway and immediately after a bridge that blocks it from being seen until about 10 seconds before you need to turn it's easily missed when driving down route 9.
The shop has an excellent current and new release section that runs the length of the store and has an adequate graphic novel and trade paperback selection. There is a great selection of action figures and other random paraphernalia and a decent back issue section.
What truly stands out for me is a section I have yet to come across in any other comic shop to date. The back section of the store has an enormous area filled with entire comic story arcs grouped together and sold at the best prices I have seen. You might wonder why this would be important when you could just buy trade paperbacks, but there are a lot of arcs that haven't been published in paperback form. Some characters don't even have any trade paperbacks and the only way to get a hold of their story lines is to collect all of the individual comics. A section like this makes it much easier than going to about 15 different shops trying to track down all of the back issues.
Owned and operated by the same guy since it was opened, his knowledge if far superior to practically any other shop I have ever walked into. This is the type of comic shop every town should have and is a definite stop on my list any time I pass through the area. -

This is where we go for our comic books. The girls got their Sailor Moon and Teen Titan comics here when they were little, now the boys come here for their Marvel and DC comics. I came in the other day looking for new comics and came out with super heroes coloring and puzzle books for 50 cents to a dollar each. Someone was unloading their huge collection of stuff, and letting the rest of us comic buffs enjoy them. Great little neighborhood store among all the big box stores.
