Long Live Forbidden Planet

By ja33, 12/6/06

Exceptional atmosphere and staff. Great stock with new additons all the time. The store's manga selection is particularly uncomparable. Beats all New York Barnes and Noble and Borders' selections. A childhood treasure now one of my adulthood haunts.

I Heart Forbidden Planet

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/2/06

FP is by far my favorite store in NYC. The stock diverse, well-lit with a great staff (Jeff is the hottest geek to ever walk the planet), FP is a shop I am more than glad to patronize.

Comix Comix Comix

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/6/05

The best comic store in the Universe and I've been to MANY. Forbidden Planet is the MOTHER of all comic book stores. The ultimate for the collector at heart...small and quaint yet funky and diverse....if you happen to be strollin' in NYC, check it out....

My Favorite Store hands down

By JEREMY, 7/1/05

These guys had it all. From Classic comics to novels to all the cool toys you can imagen. There prices are reasonable as well and they even hold things for you if you can get something at that moment.

the people that work there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Robert, Adam, Jeff, Pete, Liz are all super cool! They provide the best (least snobbish) service anywhere in NYC! Thanks!

Awesome shop

By john, 8/7/04

Has an excellent collection of figurines and comics. Upstairs they've got some decent gaming stuff too. It's all around a pretty sweet place to be a geek.
