Im certainly a fan of the selection at Newbury Comics. This particular location was clean and fairly organized. I found it to be smaller, in comparison to the previous locations Ive visited in NYC. You can still find a great Manga collection, an abundance of plushies, a great sock selection and other fun gifts in the world of pop culture.
Terrible that you deal with a Supervisor. Then get talked down to by a youngster. Someones position has gone to their head. Lacking the necessary skills to resolve an issue. When original documentation submitted. Incompetence displayed and documentation not recorded on the stores end. So because they did not record the original. You dont get to talk down to me like I did something I shouldnt of. There is always someone else to speak with and I love dealing with people at a corporate level regarding management.
Positives: Great manga collection.Negatives: Very unfriendly staff, the comics section is very unorganized.
I received a vinyl from Newbury for Christmas. The record was brand new, and on opening there was no visible damage. The record skipped multiple times, and when I tried to return the album the staff didnt offer any store exchange, returns, or store credit after they told me over the phone that they would. Customer service is poor, and so is the record quality. Would not recommend.
The 2ad time to visit here lots of different but interesting things worthwhile stopping in
I do like this place,its a place where you can get pretty obscure things,along with vinyl albums,t-shirts,all sorts of odds and ends. I go here with my kids,they love looking around and seeing different things to chose from.
Every time I come in here the Funko Pop wall grows larger and the music selection grows smaller. Such a shame. Though, you can usually snag a decent, limited run LP for a fair or discounted price. I have gotten several awesome records for about 10-25% below online pricing, usually with a colored disc to boot. I would come in more often if they had a better market for used discs.
This place is like heaven for anyone who is part of any fandoms. They have wide variety of merch. Love this store so much.
Everything a growing nerd needs to enjoy life! The alternative clothing selection is always spectacular; great selection of body jewelry; latest Funko pop vinyls; vinyl records; excellent selection of used DVDs and blu-rays (at some stores....). Prices are typically affordable, and staff is typically knowledgeable about a wide array of products. Have been a customer for many years, and hope to be one for many more!
Cool place - huge variety of apparel, manga, gifts and trinkets, loot boxes, vinyl. Definitely a good place for nerds at the mall. Maybe not for the most niche things, but if you know and love a geek youll find something for them here.
Colorful. Nice workers in store. My daughter feels like a Legend.
I love this store but hate the prices. I wish things werent expensive there or Id shop here more often.
This is my imaginations playground. I enter the store and say go be free imagination and play nice with all the other imaginations. All this while browsing the store if comic, manga, quirky, and fun goodness.
Im a little bit of a nerd so Im just enjoying all the graphic novel and anime/manga related things you can find here.
3 stars just for being a comic book store. Attempted to visit, but the horrendous parking situation in Providence was a nightmare. Im not from around here but this city may take the cake for worst parking scenario in the United States. I googled all the parking I could find but at 11am on a Wednesday it was hopeless. Parking permits required, no places anywhere close and definitely no parking for anything other than a compact car. No parking signs EVERYWHERE. Traffic photo enforcement EVERYWHERE in this police state/city. Saw the cameras flashing at drivers in intersections that pulled too far forward at the light, hammering them. After blowing off my lunch break and looking for an hour and only finding government worker parking I got the heck out of Downtown as fast as I could... without speeding of course! Also beware the ruthless drivers who all seemed to have the government parking sticker have no mercy on the streets. Ive visited every comic book store in a 30+ mile radius south of Providence... but looks like I wont be able to check this one out its not worth the risk. The other Newbury facility in Warwick was nice, I had high Hopes for this one. Sorry guys:(
I buy my DVD here as well as my music great place been coming here for over 10years.
Definitely a good move going into the mall. The space is bigger and brighter. Also has a nice variety
This is the place for comics. If you need comics and youve tried other places, its time to try this place. Comics is their specialty. There is no better place to get comics. This place is full of comics. Comics galore. Also, I watch Riverdale.
*NOTE*Newbury Comics Company = 4 STARSThis particular store/staff DEFINITELY = 5 STARS!!!While I didnt end up buying anything, it wasnt because of the staff. They seemed more than happy to answer my questions & assist with whatever I needed, even though I ended up not purchasing anything this visit. The store also seemed well stocked, neat & CLEAN. These are all huge points with me. Ive worked retail in different venues for MANY years, so I know how things should be run & what good customer service should look like. Any major deficits in these areas will, more likely than not, make me turn around & march right back out. Probably never to return.My ONLY issue, and this would be with the actual company of Newbury Comics, not the individual store, is that some of the pricing, (Regarding books, on this particular visit.), seem to me to be quite high. The store definitely had what I was looking for, however I was not willing to pay those prices, and believe me, I am NOT a cheapskate. (As my bank account & credit cards can attest. Lol) One of the books I was looking for there was $36.00 which I later found for $17.99 brand new on ebay! If not for that, definitely 5 Stars would have been given!
Best place for this and that. Always has a sale or clearance rack. Good jewelry choices, even better movies, viynls and cds.... I mean hey some of us like these things still
Imagine if Lootcrate and Hot Topic had a child that went to college and started a stable life. Thats Newbury Comics.
Still an overall decent place but a step down from their usual service and being smaller it offers less products.
As Ive been growing up Newbury comics has been there. From my music selections in rock, hip hop, indie, K pop and much more. Also from my animes, iron on patches and comics, Ive been grateful to have a get away to enjoy life growing up.
It has a feel and some items of nostalgia, but with further browsing it kind of lacks the true meaning of comic book/memorabilia store. Price are pretty steep, but if you catch a deal its worth it.
I loved the cool knick knacks here and enjoyed pointing out my favorite ones to my husband such as hedgehog designed socks and left with buttons with clever quotes. Our favorite stop when at the mall
Really friendly and passionate staff. I would shop here again. Good vinyl selection and sweet RSD selections
My favorite store in Warwick. Been going here since I was about 7. Bought all my first CDs here and they have great pop culture merchandise. My go-to place to buy birthday presents for my friends. The staff is always happy to help. Glad to see this place is still running. Great place to get all your comics and vinyls as well as hysterical and inappropriate birthday cards for your closest pals.
Decent selection of new vinyl. interesting exclusive to newbury records
The store had lots of things to offer but comics was not really one of them. They had a small selection. The store name really has nothing to do with comics. It was like a nerdy, pg-13 version of Hot Topic with less clothes.
Very bad service; terrible experience the workers are very unfriendly; no senses of respect for other; Thy doesn’t know about the product ; soI’m a nerd and I didn’t feel good going there ; so don’t go there I was looking for a book no event time to get it I feel so bad with myself they make homophobic comments and xenophobic comments from others bay my side ; no good in any case ; don’t go providence place Terrible costumers server ; I don’t feel like a costumers I fell like ......... ☹️thank you
I can never leave these stores without buying something! Attendants were knowledgeable and courteous.
Love this shop. Great place to get my geek on! Great for vinyl, Funko Pops and everything nerdy.
Always has the coolest aesthetic items
The workers are very nice, helpful, and funny! theyve got lots of stuff too, so this store is a must-visit for every mall trip!
Bruhhhhh they have so many new things and it’s awesome they’re really stepping up their game. Though it’s still a bit pricey on a lot of the things.
Great comic shop in providence place, they have 100s of funko pops and other great figures clothes and collectibles.
Really cool things here
Nice store and employees were pleasant, but was disappointed there were no Zappa CD or vinyl new released sets! Not in the Dartmouth store either 😔
Good place with great stuff. However almost lost some money when I did the buy 2 get 1 manga free deal, they still billed me for all 3 manga and when I did the math and went back to ask they almost convinced me everything was alright. After going back after rechecking my math, did they rering and redid the checkout where what I was supposed to be billed worked out for me. If I wasnt persistent I would of lost out on my money. Good place I like it but is good to recheck and make sure promotion prices are applied to your check out.
I mainly go here for either some books or vinyl records and i can say with certainty that they offer very high quality items along with how i didnt have any trouble finding anytjing i had wanted to get. I ended getting a book known as devilman crybaby volume 1 along with two records whice were called demon days by the gorrilaz and blue train by John Coltrane. If you ever need any sort of collectors items or books or even vinyl records they offer everything like comics, mangas, funkos, records, cds, posters, and also a small selection of clothes along with differnet types of trading cards such as pokemon, yugi yo, magic, and some others. Overall this place is my absolute favorite store that offer most of my favorite things and i think that most people would agree with me on that.
The staff at this location are very helpful and personable when youre checking out. Theres a great selection and a lot of neat stuff to be found.
Great collection of comics, books, and collectables. I always end up buying something that my kids love from this store, and even find stuff for myself.
I love this place cause they have wonderful stuff and they have good stuff and more
I admit I have always been a fan of Newbury. I recommend anyone who is young at heart to check it out.
Staff was not helpful nor friendly. I asked about an item, one young girl referred me to her colleague, who acted like she couldnt be bothered.
There isnt a whole lot here if you arent into Funko Pop dolls
Love these guys! Super cool people, fun store!
You will find have a lot of your novelty needs here.
Greatest hangout for true geeks and nerds
This place is a comic book nerds dream. There are so much product to choose from. The staff is helpful. There are probably from anime to manga to K-pop to apparel to anything you could possibly want. They have books they have vinyl records as well CDs. I love this place!
Great place to find collectibles at good prices!!
I went here once as a child with my uncle in Bridgewater. The one in Providence brings me back to these times as a child.
A lot like FYE, but with more unique items. Great finds here!
The absolute best comic book store in the area! Looking for something special they will have it!
Always love coming here, especially for good priced, used DVDs. Staff is always friendly and helpful.
Had issue with a supposed manager though she wouldnt say if she was a store manager or not. Really rude. Im not one to complain but she really doesnt deserve a job there.
I love Newbury comics they have the best collectables, the best vynl records, the nicest employees and they have a comic program where if you subscribe you can get 15 or 20% off your comic pick up ... I always grab both varient invader zim covers and predator and alien comics 👽 SLG, idw, darkhorse, and ONI
Great location of a local chain of comic book stores. If you remember when FYE was still a big mall chain, these guys basically picked up where they left off, but have all sorts of memorabilia and merchandise from shows, movies, etc. on top of a great selection of CDs, cassettes, records, DVDs and Blu Rays. Some things can get a little pricey but its totally worth checking out if it interests you. The store can get pretty busy because of how busy the mall is, but its totally worth it.
Such a great variety of fun items!
Carry hard to find items worth checking out
Great selection of music. If your looking for an album check here first you wont be disappointed.
Its odd to think that chain stores can vary so much, but this particular Newbury Comics was a disappointment. I say that from a selection standpoint, where the selection of items, specifically comics was very lackluster. I was on the road and stopped into the NB in Emerald Square and figured Id pop over to Prov to see if it had anything different, and I was so surprised by how much more Emerald Square had.
Comic selection is limited, but pop culture, CDs, Vinyls, bags, and merch is extensive.... does have a okay selection of comics, the most common ones mostly, but does have some more rare ones.
Great place, used cds at good prices, great gifts
Nice place good service.
Fun cool products. Customer service could be friendlier
Great geek/nerd store.
Relocated to the other side of the mall..but still the same great store!
Loved it as got some Prince vinyl.
I remember the old time.... used to be great. Not anymore.
Good staff, great selection!
Say hi to Austin there...great mustache!
Great, fun store.
Great store..very friendly staff.
So many great items to choose from
Nice sellection always helpful wish tjere where more of theese stores
Some stuff is overpriced but its definitely a cool place if youre looking for unique stuff
Its changed, could stand to shrink its Funko pop section
Nice place, more of a new school comic store
Used to be a staple but has Lost its charm.
They have a lot of cool interesting toys and things that you cant find anywhere else.
Lots of interesting things here
Decent comic and manga selection. Pop funkos are not my thing but theres a whole wall of them if youre into it. Movies, records, collectables. Nice enough store, friendly staff.
Had what I liked and wanted
Newbury in tbis Mall is subpar fron other Newbury,s. Terrible selection unless you need socks. Disappointed.
Great customer service
SEULGI COPS DONT STOP
Newbury sucks now if you want vinyl then go to your local independent record store
Great little comics and novelty store
Really cool allot of records and toys and accessories
They have some interesting items
Lots of great things. A little pricey.
Fun store with something for everyone!
Clean and lots of great gift options
Lmao i bought earbuds here not even a month ago and I can see why they don’t accept refunds. So they can scam money from us to give away glitched products.
Nice variety and pleasant staff.
Love the great prices on the movies
