I am more than pleased with this location. The staff are very knowledgeable and will try to help you find what you are looking for. All you have to do is ask. I bought about 5 comics from them and plan on buying more.
This place has a ton of options! I guarantee youll be able to find something for anyone. Theres a good selection of novels for kids, manga, graphic novels, and boxes and boxes full of cmic books! In addition theres DVDs of older movies, pins, and figures. I personally loved seeing flags supporting LGBT. They also had a few LGBT graphic novels. Had a great time browsing and came out with more than I should have. The man working was very friendly as well. Will definitely return.
Gutter Pop is a great new spot on Hertle ave! They have so many comics and manga to choose from. They have graphic novels for all ages as well. The staff was super helpful and friendly as well. I will definitely be going back soon.
This is one of the best comic shops I’ve ever been to. The shop owner is fantastic and makes wonderful recommendations. This shop is very welcoming and you don’t feel judged when you come in compared to some other gatekeeping shops. Gutter pop specializes in indie comics, although they do have a selection of your regular DC and Marvel comics. There is something here for everyone and we bring all our out of town guests here (:
Large selection, from manga to weekly floppies to graphic novels, plus posters and pins and other fun items and gifts. Good amount of books for children and younger readers, not just super hero stuff (though they have that too). Don’t be afraid to ask the staff for recommendations
Gutter Pop is an outstanding store full of both comic classics as well as a ton of indie and zine content. Its an absolute must if your looking for something new to read, something old to dive back into, or something unique to broaden your comic experiences. This store is everything I want in a comic shop and Im extremely glad theyve been holding it down.
This shop is great - its full of a large variety of comics and graphic novels, as well as a great front display of sweet enamel pins and patches. The inventory is varied and appeals to any type of reader, and the owner is willing to order anything you cant find there. They will even look at comics you own for consignment or purchase. My husband recently sold them his huge collection of old comics from his childhood - and this shop was the most honest place we found to sell to, and they had great communication during the process. The shop is a good size as well, and isnt overwhelming. They keep good hours, and are open pretty late.
Excellent, unique small shop with a broad selection of everything including mainstream comics, zines, local comics, hard to find comics, indies, graphic novels, big selection of young adult, some back issues and even records! The owner is kind and generous, its on the Elmwood strip (which fits in perfectly) and the only thing that is missing is size. Wanted to hit 3 stars but I mistakenly gave it a 5 :-). Highly recommended.
Gutter Pop has a wide selection of comics, zines, and graphic novels, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and very good hours of availability throughout the week. The atmosphere of the store is welcoming and they play great music, too. The variety of enamel pins is also fantastic. If youre in Buffalo and looking for newly released comics, graphic novels, zines, posters, and more, this is the place for you.
Gutter Pop Comics is one of the best comic stores that exist. Its selection of both mainstream and independently published art is amazing, and you will be able to find something for anyone there. It also has a really dope music section. Must see place. The owner Stephen is an absolute gem as well.
Only place Ill shop for comics and graphic novels - love the staff and the new store is awesome!
One of my favorite shops on Hertal, friendly helpful staff. My daughter and I love stopping in there for new books.
On my first visit to this comics shop, I was in search of a specific type of comic. Without going into too much detail for personal reasons, this was a tall order. The staff was very helpful and kind. They made a lot of great suggestions, and were very sympathetic to my request. Thank you for the excellent customer service and for your kindness and generosity. There is a young comic book reader who will be delighted and hopefully uplifted to read his new Spiderman comic.
Cute little comic shop. Not huge but a great selection and friendly staff/owner. They also sell some local artist wares and thats pretty cool. We came for free comic book day and bought a few comics and pins.
Very rude I ordered a comic on eBay then after looking at the pictures again I decided it wasn’t a good deal so I cancelled my order after 5 seconds, I also apologized and he proceeds to tell me I should have looked better at the pictures man and I tell him I’m a female buying for my fiancée and he still continues to call me a man. This is not how you run a business. So glad I cancelled my order, this guy is so unprofessional.
Great place to find books to finish out runs. Everything is very well organized and easy to find. The owner and staff are great to work with and are very enthusiastic about collecting.
Gutter Pop Comics is one of the most inviting comic shops I have ever entered. The owner and his staff are friendly from the moment you enter the door. I am by no means a serious collector, and dont have time to stay up on the latest new releases. So it is great to be able to go in, ask for recommendations, and know that I am being steered in the right direction.
The best comic book store in Buffalo, one of the best Ive seen anywhere. Amazing selection, helpful staff.
Awesome place to get comics and more, highly suggest heading over there for some really good prices on your favorite superhero!!
Nice selection. No deals as fair as buying more. However some other cheaper books very reasonably priced. I will be back!
Our whole family loves Gutter Pop, amazing and really diverse selection of comics and graphic novels, clean, super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend!
We shopped yest(may 27) my bday and was a great experience. My son(whos BIG into comics) LOVED IT...they are really nice and one has same bday as me :-) will def be going back since its near us. Very friendly and nice shop.
I was just a visitor in Buffalo for about 24 hours and Im really glad I chose Gutter Pop Comics as a destination. Everywhere I travel I try to support local businesses, especially those that support the local scene - they had an excellent selection of zines and books by folks from the area. THANK YOU Gutter Pop for supporting your local scene :)
Wonderful little hole-in-the-wall comic shop. Fantastic selection of non-mainstream publishers and indie comics. Including local artists and international titles. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, willing to answer questions and put books on reserve.
This was the first time I went into the store. I would have to say I was blown away! It’s such a great layout and the staff if so helpful. They gave great suggestions and really knew their stuff. I’m 100% going back there soon!
Nice little shop. They have newly released comic-books and newer editions of classics. They pretty much carry comic-books that you can get on Amazon or other stores. They dont have vintage comics.
This local comic shop specializes in alternative and indie comics which drastically sets it apart from pretty much every other comic store ive visted. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and will gladly give you suggestions as to good comics and books to pick. Such a large variety of indie comics, clasic marvel and dc, manga, childrens books and more. Seriously if you can only check out one comic shop while youre here, definitely hit this one up, you will not be disappointed
Great friendly staff. Wonderful selection
Great little comic shop! Nice place to Bing the kids to help them become excited about reading staff is friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. Not just adult friendly. Great place for kids too
Good selection of comics, great staff. A little small, so go when there are not a bunch of people. But very good selection of both new and old comics.
The owner has gifted Buffalo with an independent shop filled with smart options for the lover of comics, graphic novels and manga. Extremely welcoming, infinitely knowledgeable, and highly recommended!
Wide variety of comics, choice records and other cool stuff...knowledgeable fella behind the counter. One of Elmwoods treasures in a sea of garbage. Even if youre not a comic freak, you need to check it out. Stat!
The guy there Adam was super helpful-- Im not a comic guy but wanted to get some for my 8yr old daughter and he helped me not only with ones he thought shed like but also the tendencies of the publishers large and small
I love this store. Stephen is great, very helpful and knowledgeable. The store is very clean and organized. And if they dont have it on hand they will gladly order it for if possible.
Super friendly staff, great selection and prices. The go to comic shop in buffalo!
Great place for checking out stuff that isnt DC or Marvel, even though they have a great selection. The owner is super nice, and theres a great selection for kids and everyone in general.
Im in contact with Steve, one of the employees here, and he texts me when the next issue of any of my series comes in, he puts them aside for me, and even has double copies when theres an alternative cover, just in case I want to pick the cover I want. Theyve got a lot of selection, too, from Marvel to DC to anime. Even the Rick and Morty comic line is here. Def check it out.
Great little comic shop that carries all sorts of obscure comics and fun items. Its definitely worth stopping in!
Great little shop, and the owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. My new regular comic shop.
I felt like a kid again in there. Fascinated by everything. All the comics. I wanted to buy them all lol. Friendly employee and very helpful.
From the kind staff to utterly expansive variety of books to intimate record store atmosphere, Gutter Pop is a dream of an LCS.
Great selection of hard to find and indie comics. Owner was super duper nice. Highly recommended.
Really great selection of comics that go far beyond just cape comics. Friendly staff who are always good for a recommendation.
I loved this little shop. Has every comic you can imagine and the cashier was really great and nice.

2022-07-17Great comic book store that we were able to spend some time browsing. Large selection of new and old. Staff was very friendly as well. Super helpful in finding what we were looking for!

2022-07-08This right here is what most comic shops should be striving to be! New comics. A crazy diverse selection of TPBs and HCs. A wall of keys and hard to find goodies. Discount graphic novels and an enormous and diverse selection of dollar books (with no annoyingprice at the counter policy).This has something for everyone. I wish this shop was my LCS. If youre local: Shop here. Every day. Keep it open. If youre kind of local: make the trip. If youre planning on visiting Niagara or Buffalo and you only have time to stop in one comic shop: make. this. your. stop. Do it!

2022-07-23Wonderful local store thats a short bike ride away for me. Love the comics selection and 50% off section. I especially love how manga is carried here as most comic book stores around here dont carry a lot, if any.

2021-12-10My brother is newly getting into comics, so i wanted to get him a few different ones for Christmas. However, I know nothing about comics, so wasnt really sure where to start. The associate that helped was so kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Didnt pressure me or try to hard sell me into anything that I wasnt sure of. I left with a number of books and so good information in the future. A super cool shop, with a great team. Thanks for the help!

2022-05-23I absolve this shop! This is one of the best comic book stores in Buffalo. The staff is super knowledgeable about neat comics. They sometimes go above & beyond with helping get things I want & making ny experience that much better. I look forward to stopping by weekly. Its great to be greeted like someone more then a customer. They make it feel like a second home.

2021-10-04Suprised at the positive reviews. I took my teenage daughter there on her birthday and didnt even get greeted at the door with a hello. The store clerk just continued his conversation with a customer. Never once regarded us. He said Hello and engaged in conversation with every other person that walked in the place. There was a point we were the only people in the store and never made eye contact. Very bizarre. When we cashed out his friendly tone to everyone else turned very mechanical and clinical to us. My daughter said she never wants to go in again. I wholeheartedly agree. Not sure what the clerk didnt like about us.

2021-11-09A great selection of creator-driven comics, graphic novels, comics for kids, mainstream Marvel and DC books. Healthy back issue bins for digging. The oasis for the comics reader who loves reading!
