Reviews of Astro-Zombies
Absolutely love this place. 1st edition comics, vintage figurines, Graphic comics, Funko pop characters and the list goes on. A person could really geek out here and it's Awesome!
Such a fun store! Found a book that I absolutely had to have! Very friendly people working. Huge selections of new and vintage toys! I just wish this store were bigger!
My daughter's absolute favorite place to go to even though we have seen and played with just about everything in the store. Great selection of comics and collectibles with an even greater selection of helpful and courteous staff members that really knows that there's stuff when it comes to comics and collectibles alike. They even offer what is called free comic book Wednesday for children, my daughter's favorite thing to do.
Love, love, LOVE Astro Zombies! Such a fun and funky little spot to get records, Funko pop figures, and vintage toys/collectibles. The staff are always friendly and super helpful and I pretty much always find something great when I stop in!
Great local comic shop. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Great selection of comic books and graphic novels. Can find a large number of vinyl records. They have alot of Godzilla merchandise that is very impressive. Tons of collector figures both in and out of boxes. Lots of Funko pops. Store is easy to find. Located on the corner and features a large mural on the side of the building. Great photo location.
Pretty solid comic shop. The staff was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommended to swing by if you’re in the area.
I will say, their selection of manga was sparse, but ordering anything you want is very easy to do.
Make sure you look up at the ceiling to see all of the signatures and art from various comic creators and movie/TV stars. The murals outside are AWESOME. Definitely worth snapping a few photos!
Wow! Not only is it a top-notch comic store plus record store plus collectibles (toys) store, but it’s owned by an amazingly funny dude. It’s expected that a comic store owner will be smart and knowledgeable about comics; it’s never guaranteed that he or she will be charismatic and funny. The owner of Astro-Zombies is exactly that! Picked up a Spider-man back issue and some sweet stickers, will definitely be back.
These are some of the coolest murals I have seen anywhere, very impressive.
I am in there at least once a week. The guys are friendly and fun to talk to, and the selection is great.
Amazing customer service, person checking me out traded stories of seeing Propagandhi and Avail on tour, nice when the owners, and/or, employees are just as big of fans of the stuff they sell as we are that buy.
We bought some pretty awesome comic books here. They also have records from metal bands. I thought that was awesome. I need to come back and pick some up.
This is a really cool place to go if you love anime or anything that deals with game boards and several other anime figures and God knows what the place was really cool I recommend it to everyone to go check out
They were so amazing when we went to resell some Star Wars figures. They actually educated us and talked to us about the reselling process and how they wanted to go about it. They didn’t undersell us or try to low ball us in any way. They also understood that we cared about what we were selling and that we wanted to get the best we could out of it. They gave us an amazing value (more than anywhere else in ABQ) and some store credit. I love this place! It’s absolutely worth the visit.
This place is awesome!!!! I don't care if you're not into any of the cool and fun stuff they have in this shop, after you talk to the super knowledgeable and friendly staff you're bound to find something you can't live without, something from your childhood or just something cool to add to your life. At the minimum you'll leave knowing a little trivia...hey you might just be on Jeopardy one day!!! My score=some beautiful vinyl albums for a craft project. Shop Local!!!!
Best comic shop in the area by far
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a huge selection! Will definitely be going back next time I'm in town.
Nice decent staff, awesome choices to pick from, and very helpful. I'd recommend this place for the new and old comic collector
Superhero theme song plays....check out the AWESOME af mural outside on the west wall by Dave Briggs! All the comic heros you adore! Toys, posters, albums.
Cool place, friendly staff, would give 6 stars if they had more Star Trek stuff and it was possible to give that many stars. Yeah I just docked a nonexistant star, why you ask? Because my complaint is frivolous, and unlike so many online reviewers I realize that my every whim not being met or my every fancy not being tickled does not need to reflect negatively on this solid business, because I am not the center of the universe.
It's always a pleasure to shop here! I've been going for many years.
Honestly one of the best comic book stores I have been in a long time. Staff are friendly and helpful but not clingy. If you want a comic they dont have they will order it at no extra cost to you. They also have D&D, Magic, Pop culture decal made by a local artist, and so many Transformers including Fortress Maximus. Highly recomend it. I have been building my Hellboy collection.
A ton of comics, toys, funko pops, collectibles, trading cards, and supplies. Owner was super nice and friendly. My only pet peeve was how his comics were stored on the back wall. There is no way to know what was where. Again it's just a pet peeve for me and not necessarily a negative. He probably knew exactly where everything was. 😄 …
Great selection of both new titles and back issues, trades, toys, collectables and killer selection of vinyl records of the punk/alternative/metal genres. Friendly staff and cool shop!
Always a pleasant experience when I come here, has a ton of variety and new stuff. Workers are always helpful too!
Drove from Las Cruces to check this place out, if ur a aged punk rocker like me the LP selection is KILLER, also some deep stuff in the blues and jazz section, truly enjoyed my convo with the staff, the place is also packed with comics and toys, worth the 4 hr drive...glad these guys exsist
This review is long overdue. Such an awesome place! I actually called about Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers collectibles right around Halloween 2021, and they were super helpful. So I came by, spotted a Dale Earnhardt collectible as well, they hooked me up with all three and some stands, totally in my budget, very friendly the whole time, and I come home looking like a Halloween hero. Just a really great shop, with cool people.
I keep reviewing this place it seems because it is awesome. Don't be afraid to ask questions. They may be able to obtain collectibles not seen in the store as well. The place is extremely knowledgeable, and seriously pricing is all extremely fair, and based on the actual value.
Great local comic book shop. Visiting from Australia and was able to pick up some TPB and comic of my favorite, The Phantom by Lee Falk
It was a cool place to check out. Spent a good amount checking out the Magic cards. The guys there were kind of nice.
This is an amazing shop. I go for their vinyl. The selection is overwhelming. I normally have to put stuff back and hope it lasts till next week. They put all the other local shops to shame. Great customer service, friendly people and great atmosphere. Couldn't recommend this place more. I buy alot of vinyl and if I am looking for new stuff or classics
this is where I always end up.
Great selection and very kind outgoing community it seems.
Awesome. Only one word is enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great place to buy, talk about and appreciate comics! They have tons of other collectibles including (but not limited to) action figures, records, display pieces and artwork. The staff was friendly and welcoming and encouraged me to browse and ask questions. I will definitely be coming back!
I love the selection of figures. I like the way they label their high-dollar back issues with the reason they're collectible ("first appearance of so-and-so".) Their selection of trade paper backs and graphic novels is probably the best in town. Years ago, the staff seemed a little vibey, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
I won't dock a point because it's just part of the area they're in, but it's probably the only comic shop in town where parking can be a problem.
First time visiting Astor Zombies my family and I were waiting on a table down the street. Joe, being the amazing human he is, reignited an old passion for Star Wars Legacy comics and also introduced us to fresh comics such as Saga while corralling/entertaining our rambunctious 2 year old. Most associates would be annoyed by a adventurous child capable of pulling whole shelves down but they were not. The visits began to multiply and soon after more discussions I jumped into comic collecting. A pull list was established. Between Chris, Jason, and Joe (being the 3 most I’ve interacted with) they run an amazing shop. The books are organized, boxes ready when you arrive, and always a warm welcome. Yes you will see that they don’t take kindly to pretentious snobs but who does? They look out for their customers and are willing to order anything missing or messed up. Wednesdays are now my favorite day of the week as it’s the day to swing by if even just for a little and chat while scooping up the new reads.
Incredible selection of albums, comics, books and collectables.🤗My daughter found everything she wanted and the prices were better then online👐🏼 I was grateful to be able to support local!
If your sad about Charles's records downsizing come check this place out. Also the staff was so helpful and listening to them talk they bring alot of people in for signings and promotions. So definitely check out their website as well!
Such an awesome experience. Was in town for a conference and went looking for some specific older comics. Chris and the staff made me feel welcome and went the extra mile, searching their warehouse to find something for me.
Always a fun and expensive experience. I mainly go here for their great vinyl collection. It has something for everyone and mood. Most all the vinyl is new and unopened, and I always find my self having to choose what I am going to actually buy this time and what I hope is still there the next time. The staff is friendly and helpful, but hands off if you know why you are there. Added bonus is all of the other collectibles if you are into comics and pop culture. I honestly perfer this shop over Meca and Charlie's.
Great selection of comics and vinyl, though prices are a bit high (I understand that's not their fault though). My main issue is that many of the vinyls I've bought there skip, and I'm rarely offered a receipt for my purchases. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Super underrated vinyl selection! My sister and I were pleased to find a bunch of our favorite artists here after looking all over town. They might not stock a ton, but what they do have is a great variety of genres and artists outside the usual 60s-80s fare most record stores in Albuquerque stick with.
Amazing staff and such a wide selection of things! I got a little One piece figurine of Boa as my partner got a pop! Amazing staff
nice collection of collectibles! a favorite spot for Funko Pops
Friendly staff, great collection of records. Can't speak for the comics, but these guys really don't know the full extent of their music collection. Bought an album for 15 that sells regularly online for 110. Of course, that is no complaint.
I went in to get a birthday present for my eight-year-old daughter. I thought I'd be on my own, picking through the more adult material to find something suitable, but the salesperson took me right to the kids section and made some great suggestions. Will definitely be returning!
My wife and I were recently in town and wanted to purchase some manga. We checked multiple shops, but no local shops we found had as wide of a selection. We ended up coming back on both days of our vacation. The staff was wonderful and we will be coming back the next time we are in town! Thank you to the entire staff!
I like this store because Chris and the other gentleman usually working with him (I forget his name, I’m sorry!) Are both so nice! They are always willing to tell me what’s new that week and what it’s about and even tell me if they think I’m gonna like it or not! My subscription box is always ready with the ones I asked them to save for me. I love this store!
WOW! More than I expected. Great products. Thanks
Knowledgeable, and friendly staff. This is what a comic book shop should be, the staff encourage different novels, and ask about your interest. The store is full of action figures, table top games, and records. I'll definitely stop by again the next time I'm in ABQ.
Very interesting assortment of goods. Lots of toys, all in meticulous condition.
Very well maintained! Great selection and friendly staff! Browsed their selection of Dungeons and Dragons merchandise and I was surprised to find they have pre-owned books! Super Cool!
Amazing place!! Great Owner, Super knowledgeable! Love this place!!
Love this place customer service is amazing! Just getting back into comics and started to discuss comics that I was interested in with the owner. Started a pull list after a couple of weeks of going. Now example of amazing customer service is that he remembered what we discussed and put a comic in my box I mentioned but did not put on my pull list. Came to the shop on Wednesday and was surprised that he remembered and made sure to save the comic for me. Of course I bought it right away he also put another comic I was looking for two weeks ago into the been that I did find someplace else. What I am saying is that they really care about what you want and think about their customers even when they are not in the shop! AMAZING!!!!
Best place in town for comics. The staff are always welcoming and helpful. Everyone was masked up. Felt comfortable bringing my kid who is too young to be vaxxed
This place is cool, even if they guy at the cash register was depressed because he can't grow a respectable beard. His comic knowledge and great customer service made up for his lack of facial hair... they have tons of figures and toys. I wanted to look at two on the top shelf but it was near closing and I didn't want to be a pain.
Best comic book store in Albuquerque imo. Decent prices, amazing selections, friendly nerd knowledgeable staff, and an amazing toy selection. Just a super fun store to waste some time in or the mecca for the enthusiast. Assemble your team here. You won't regret it! :) 👽👍👏 …
Lots of funko and comics, older and rarer items as well. Action figures were a bit overpriced, I would check amazon before buying here for them. But overall great time and great stuff! Hope to go back someday!
Great selection of comics, graphic novels, and vinyl albums - one of the few places in town you can get new release vinyl.
Extremely friendly staff and excellent selection. If you can't find something let them know and they will help you.
I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with the primary intention of hunting some back issue comics.
Very clean store. Comic back issues are all bagged, boarded, sorted, and priced. The back issue bins seemed to be priced at $5+ (I couldn't find anything cheaper). There is an impressive selection of wall books, but all seemed to be priced at about 2x what I would consider fair market value.
New release comics were displayed on one wall. Another wall housed a thorough selection of trades. A great selection of punk rock vinyl LPs as well as some vintage toys was a nice bonus.
Overall a great place to shop, but I didn't find anything for my collection at a price I would consider paying.
This was a really fun store! I really loved the selection of metal and punk records, they had quite a few to choose from. Always support these cool niche stores, they are a great place to go and browse. The staff were really nice as well.
My father recently decided he wanted to give graphic novels a try. We were having brunch in Nob Hill when he mentioned it so we ventured over to Astro-Zombies. Jason was super knowledgeable (and nice!) and helped my dad find two different graphic novels to start with based on his pretty niche tastes. Jason also said he would do some research so he would have more recommendations when we returned for more. If I could give Astro-Zombies more stars I absolutely would!
Comics , collectibles , vinyl records , vintage toys, action figures you wouldn't dare to open.
Great service and a great place for hobbyists. I highly recommend a visit. F.Y.I. I purchased a Iron maiden comic book and a sticker. So cool!! Give them a shot.
The friendliest comic store owner in town! Knows the most about everything, it's great! Go check out his ceiling when you get some comics, see how many famous signatures you can point out!
Every collectable you wished you could get at a con, every comic you may have missed that month, or a vinyl you need to hear. You most likely can find it here or order it here.
Godzilla statues ✔️
Comics ✔️
Vinyl's ✔️
Manga✔️
I've been going to Astros for 15 years now and the quality of the conversations held here should have its own movie. Highly recommend stopping by.
Love this place! I'm fairly new to Abq. and had been looking for a record shop; Astro-Zombies met and exceeded expectations. Great selection of newer and older LPs, fair prices, and a nice hip-hop section as well -- something I'd been missing at the couple of other record stores I tried before.
I'll definitely be back.
Love this store... soooooo much selection, way good, super happy fun time!
Is down this is the best comic book store in Albuquerque. They have a great selection of comics and graphic novels.
They also have records, magic cards, Collectibles, and great little gifts for anyone who is into anything related to nerd culture.
The staff is incredibly friendly and SO knowledgeable about comics.
The store is also super clean and professional. Well lit and well decorated, has a great feel and they're great at treating regular customers like friends
Always super friendly. Can feel comfortable talking about anything with the clerks there. They are genuinely interested in your interests and usually know exactly if and where what you are looking for is located. ART project makes it hard to visit, but worth the Hassel!!!
Astro Zombies is the place to go for comics. They also now carry muaic, manga, and acrion figuresl. But most importantly? They know their products and will be happy to assist you! And if they don't have it in stock they will tell you and not yank your chain hoping for a quick sale. That's called integrity, honesty, and trustworthy. I will gladly give this local comic book shop my business and continue for many years to come.
This place is packed with goodies! Besides comics! They have records and a bunch of collectable toys. I took my nephew there and he absolutely loved it! They are very friendly and helpful.
Friendly, helpful staff that remember the names of they regular customers. Every person that walks in the front door is greeted with a friendly hello from staff. Wide selection of comic books and action figures. Also sells vinal records and Lego toys. Curbside parking for customers at City parking meters along both Central Ave and Richmond Drive, South of Central Ave. A fun and friendly place to shop. The staff always has a movie playing on a TV in a corner of the store.
Ahhh Astro zombies, really brings me back to when I was a kid. Going in with my stepdad to look at comics, to get my first comic here 10 years ago. I still go there with my friends or my boyfriend to look at some mangas. Hmm customer service is great I have no problems at all! They are very helpful when you ask them questions and they give you their honest answer! Lol I will say though, I forgot how small it was! But hey that’s cool; it’s what makes it special to me. I’ll be going there Saturday! Probably gonna call today to see if they can hopefully place some books on hold for me till I get there! Saturday! I prefer this place than any other comic book shop just cause they have a bigger and better selection.
I love these guys! Great Customer service and what a fantastic selection! I have really enjoyed my experience here both trading in and buying stuff from there. I can t wait to get back there again as soon as I can.
My new favorite go-to comic shop! The staff was incredibly friendly & they had a great selection of comics as well as merch. We managed to walk out with comics, a funko pop, & a comic book box all for a great price. We have to drive nearly 2 hours each way to get to the nearest comic shops, & this one really makes it worth it. Can’t wait to go back!! ( :
I came in to the store looking for back issues and variant covers. I'm not a regular customer. The young lady that helped me was very friendly and went out of her way to answer all of my questions and help me locate items as best she could. None of the items I wanted were available in the store. Prices on back issues are very high. Access to the store was good once I got around all of the ART construction. Other members of the staff were less helpful. The store was well organized and appeared to have a wide selection of current comics.
This place is awesome. I love it. It has so many different comic books. They also carry things like Legos, Pop Figures, and action figures. The employees all know a lot about Marvel, DC, and all of the other comic book companies. They carry Arrow, X-Men, Avengers, Star Wars, Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and many, many more. They carry old and new comics, which a lot of stores do not. The store is pretty big, and has a incredible mural on the side. It's fun to stop by and just look after some comics and admire the pop figures. The location is very convenient. Whenever I am in Albuquerque I always stop by. I really like this store, and if you like comics, you should certainly stop by.
This place is pretty great! Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. They're willing to put through special orders and even ship! I shop Astros for all my comic needs and routinely buy gifts here. Best comic selection #1 A++
Always a fun place to drop in and shop. They always have new, different items. We love shopping here for Naruto stuff, vinyl albums, garbage pail kids, books, unique gifts, and so much more. A local gem for decades!
Quality AND quantity (!!!) whether your interest is books, vinyl or collectables. Great shop conveniently located on Central Ave for a quick drop-in or serious shopping. The best selection of punk records in town and rare vintage toys at fair prices. Unpretentious, friendly and knowledgable staff - a must any time I'm in ABQ.
My partner really enjoys comics, anime and graphic novels. He has been coming to this store for years and they are always very friendly and helpful. If they do not have a book in stock or even if they do not carry that particular book they will order it for you, no additional shipping cost and will call you when it arrives. It's in Nob Hill in a great location.
Awesome place for all things collectible.
Super friendly, cool vibe. Employees are there to help, but they give you enough space so you can roam around and see all the trinkets. Tons of comics, an expansive variety of records, and loads of other things. Highly recommend everyone go and check it out!
Best comic shop in town, has vinyl records and tons of toys too. Always helpful staff, catering to serious collectors and casual fans too. Good stuff is always found here!
Favorite comic store in Albuquerque! Large, well stocked comic book store. Always has the latest issues. Staff are friendly and helpful—we enjoy shopping here. Also has buttons, stickers and other cool things.
This is a great little comic shop for anybody who is in comics they also have a little bit of Pokemon cards and a ton of Funko and a ton of comics of course
Great store. Browse the collectibles, add to your collection and enjoy!
Love this store! They have all kinds of collectibles, comics, vinyl records, and figures. Friendly people and good times!
Excellent selection of comics, toys, and vinyl. It's really a nerd paradise. The store was pretty busy when I visited, but every one of the staff greeted me and thanked me for coming in. A+
A comic book and toy collector's paradise. This store has been a staple of the unique shopping experiences on Central Street. The huge homage hero mural outside the store is a reflection of the times, where once anything comic book was nerdy and dorky, today it is mainstream and our lives are for the better with superheroes to aspire to and inspire. Inside there is a huge array of comics and toys. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind and funny. I found classic and new comics and new titles and publishers besides the big two (Marvel and DC). Wish I had more time to visit; only got done perusing 1/3 of store. That's how much cool stuff they have.
Very cool place to go for comic books and collectibles. Everyone in the store was very friendly and willing to help me get what I needed.
I first met these guys at a comic book convention and then checked their store out when the Batman tumbler/Batmobile came rolling through town. Even though the store was packed with people, they were very helpful and have been helpful at other times I was in the store. Nice guys and great selection. Not the most original or creative looking comic shop inside, but pretty straight forward on merchandise. Outside the mural is amazing and adds to the Nob Hill feel.
The Best place to get My comicbooks and other collectable when I'm come to Albuquerque it first stop.
Fantastic selection in a great location my only thing that is just a regular issue when it comes to most comic shops is the prices being very Stout due to the digital age screwing things up. But they have a lot of great sales so if you can't leave there with something that you're happy to read then you might just be too picky of a person.
Great selection of comic books, tpbs, records, and games. A lot of rare punk/hardcore/metal vinyl. My only complaint is that I'd like to see them get a bigger store, because it can be a little cramped in there when there's a lot of people in there. Definitely one of the best nerd destinations in New Mexico.
The staff is friendly and always willing to help. They may not always have the item you're looking for but they are willing to order it for you. Theres a good amount of back issues in thier stacks and newer books are available as well. They also sell loads of punk rock records. Lots of collectables board games and legos!
This place feels so nostalgic. My son loves going there and looking at vintage toys.
I had a greate experience here they were very helpful, prashant and informative and really helpful they told me everything I needed to know and more. They were very honest and gave me very good offers on everything that I brought in.
Amazing Customer Service. The entire staff are very friendly. They are also highly knowledgeable when it comes to comic books. If for some reason they do not have a book they will go above and beyond to see if they can get it. Wonderful customer experience. I have been a customer for over a year. This should be your number 1 comic book shopping store. Just ask for Joe!
Helpful people with good attitudes and high knowledge of there products. I am glad I have enjoyed this store for many years and now I can share it with my daughter. Please press like if this review is helpful.
Not gonna lie, their stuff is pretty over priced. I'll only buy comics from them if their price is a dollar more than the actual price because $5.99 for a $3.99 comic is a bit much. And the service could definitely be better. The first time I ever shopped there, I called in to see if they had a full volume I was looking for and the man who answered was very condescending, asking if I'd ever even read the comic before (which I had). The other times I went they seemed to pay more attention to me than the guys who were shopping, flirting with me any my friend. Over all, they're alright, but the guys there need to stop being high-and-mighty, thinking they know everything about every comic out there and start treating their customers with respect. Also the prices suck, you'd seriously be better off going g to Hastings and that's saying something.
The best comic shop in ABQ hands down. I love shopping here. The staff is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I'm a big collector of graphic novels, and I have no problem finding what I need, and if I can't there isn't any issue in ordering it.
Awesome comic and collectable shop. Beat in town. Lots of fun stuff there to chose from. Current issues of comics as well as golden age and silver!
Nerd-tastic!! Amazing environment! Great and knowledgeable staff. There are plenty of places to pick up comics in Albuquerque, but I love coming in here to see all the wonderful toys and decor!
So I easily found this store tucked away around Central and Girard. It was my first time in a Comic book store and my experience was quite nice. I was immediately greeted by a Manager, who was happy to help me find some things that I was looking for. We had a nice chat about Marvel comic storylines, I was surprised on how much he knew. (Although he does work at a Comic store, I should know better.)
Their selection was vast, having toys, figures, stickers, manga, and comics of course! Some sections were limited like their manga and anime, but it was still enough to satisfy people who are curious. In short they had a lot of want you want, and plenty of of what you need. Some selections were in these tight bins that were a little difficult to sort through without potentially damaging items. Not a huge issue but it could be a hassle of you like keeping things mint. Some comics were cheap, 4-5 dollars a piece, but other items like the figures and toys were considerably more expensive. I'm not sure if I'd spend $150 on Luke's snowspeeder from Hoth, but it's still nice that they have it.
I didnt ask about a subscription plan, where I could choose a specific series, i.e. the new Captain Marvel, and have a copy reserved upon each release so I'm unsure about that whether it's a service that they have or not. I also heard that they do trades and even buy some comics, I plan on testing that in the future with some extra manga I have.
The Service and staff, which I touched on earlier, were incredibly nice. I met a manager and another employee, both great people. I would've liked to have met the owner but he was on vacation. Again I had great service, found what I wanted easily and with no grumpy employees.
Overall I'd definitely come back. If your a comic enthusiast or a beginner this is a nice place to check out.
Bad ass selection of the best comics you can think of. Bad ass selection of collectibles as well. But my most favorite of the whole store was the vast selection of vinyl records. Just switched to listening to vinyl lps. I must say Astro Zombies is a great place to dig through crates for records. Staff was genuine, very helpful and very friendly. Highly recommended stop in.
It's a really awesome place to geek out over, although the prices are a little high (but still reasonable), and the staff sometimes seems a little grumpy. Overall, a great place and I love the artwork on the side.
Small to medium size store with nice knowledgeable staff that will make suggestions for new comics based on your interests or previously read comics. New comics are all bagged and boarded, which is great for collectors. They also sell an assortment of pop figures, toys, board games, card games (Magic), and vinyl records.
Love this shop. Always try to make an effort to stop in when I'm nearby and grab something. Great selection and always has weird or rare stuff I'm looking for.
Absolutely love this place! I always find something I want. The selection is great!
A big shout out to Astro Zombies for being the ultimate human beings!
I was walking down Central when a stranger took notice of my family and me. This stranger was clearly lost and thought my son was her child. She yelled out a name that was very similar sounding to my son’s name which caught his attention and he responded.
I believe that the acknowledgment from my son validated this woman’s belief that he was her kid.
She began to follow us down the street and then started yelling that we “took her kid”, and “help, they have my son”.
In an attempt to avoid confrontation or raise too much concern, we walked away down Central and turned into the comic book shop to hide.
The staff at Astro Zombies were so quick to offer assistance and one staff member took my kiddos to the back to distract them from the lady following us.
Thank you Astro Zombies for your big hearts and willingness to help keep our kiddos calm in a very frightening situation. I really have no other words to show my appreciation.
This is what community is about. Thank you!
Just the best place for comics and collectibles. Really sweet people.
Awesome selection, decent prices, extremely helpful staff that did not roll their eyes at my clueless dad questions but rather brightened up at the opportunity to convey some knowledge. Very satisfied.
Awesome comic shop! They were very friendly and attentive to a kid that was out of town that likes pop figures. They almost always have what you’re looking for. I highly recommend this comic shop!
I love this place, I came to this store since I was little great service. Friendly employees good variety of comics,records and figures.❤🖤 …
The place to go for comics in this city. Especially if you a Godzilla otaku. They can order most things or try to procure it for you. Highly recommend for any comic book guy or gal.
stuffed to the gills with comics, graphic novels, figures, funko pop... I could spend hours in here. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Got a few things for my brother's birthday and he'll DEFINITELY be back. I had to practically drag him out of the store. LOL
I got into comics pretty late, but I never feel like I'm an outsider at Astro. The staff is friendly and informed, and they are always happy to take the time to give me suggestions and guide me into new series I never even knew I'd enjoy.
Eventually I started a box with the shop (totally free), and I am up to 10 subscriptions which nets me a cool 15% discount on everything in the store. It has certainly paid for itself.
The shop has real charm, and the community of comic-readers I've found really make me feel like part of the family. I always look forward to picking up my box and chatting about new story arcs and upcoming releases.
TL:DR - Astro Zombies is a charming, helpful and inviting local comic shop. If I moved out of state, I'm absolutely certain I'd keep my subscriptions with them and just pay for the shipping because they're just that damn friendly. Real upstanding dudes and gals.
Great place for comics. Very good staff
My family and I love this shop. My kids can always find something andy partner and I got some great vinyl. Everyone was super friendly, and knowledgeable.
Love love love!!! So much to see and admire! Staff are well engaged. Super rare items at reasonable prices, too! P.s. look at the ceiling!
Great place. Good variety of of comic and other stuff. The workers or owners were helpful and friendly. Would do more business with them.
Great shop! Absolutely packed full of goodies and neat murals on the outside too!
This was a tremendous experience! I walked in with some ideas, and Chris hooked me up with things I didn't even know existed. My favorite comic shop ever!!! Give them all your money and rock out!!!
Always an amazing place to shop! The owner is always there to help and chat with about anything and the staff is always so helpful with whatever needs may arise. Love this place!!
Astro Zombies is the best comic book store in ABQ. They have all the graphic novels, models, dolls, and collectors items you seek. They also have the most knowledgeable nerds working there.
Visiting Albuqierque from Tampa fl. The guys here were awesome, knowledgeable and friendly. Great selection of toys and comics. I have to say, compared to the comic book stores in Tampa, this store is far better.
Great customer service, good collection of Godzilla figures. I will definitely be visiting and purchasing more godzilla figures from them in the future.
This place is a sanctuary for nerds and geeks alike. All the guys that work there are super helpful and they always make sure you find what your looking for. On a plus side if they don't have it they will go out of there way to get it.
Great comic shop with great personalities! If you're not sure about what to read they'll help you. So many cool collectables inside too.
We live in Santa Fe and every time we end up in ABQ, we have to stop by!! The staff is great. They always give me great recommendations for comics and are always willing to help find things.
traveled all the way from colorado springs to shop at this place , the employees/owner are awesome , they have really coo hard to find merch and i love the shop .
Super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff, especially to a couple relative newcomers with weird tastes. Legitimately an awesome store with awesome staff, probably my favorite place in ABQ just based on a couple visits. You guys are the best.
Stopped in to Astro-Zombies on a recent trip to ABQ, and was really impressed. The store has a nice balance between trades/graphic novels and back issues, and a lot of Silver Age books on the walls as well. Nice, eclectic selection of figures, statues, etc., and LPs as well. Plus, be sure and check out the signatures on the ceiling and ask the owner for a story or two about them.
Great service awesome selection amazing staff plus they have a lot of punk rock vinyl as a bonus.
Judge this book by its cover the mural outside is amazing!
The coolest comic book shop in all of ABQ, right on Historic Route 66. The whole staff are hilarious and information guys that can answer any of your questions. From POP figurines to classic comics, this place has everything.
I love this comic store. It has tons of comics, Legos, action figures, Vinyl Records, pop figures, manga and much more!! This is my go to Comic store!!
Guys that work here are cool and laid back- location is great because there are so many things too do within walking distance- you not gonna find A lot of BS in this store- they got it tighted up- plus they have vinyl and toys- awesome t-shirts and a must stop when in knob hill - Albuquerque

Its a really cool place. They have A LOT of comics in different genres!

Went on free comic book day, it was awesome! Busy and cramped but it was busy so I don't blame them it was worth the wait in line for some hard to come by figurines and comic books!
The reps were very friendly and helpful. What a great little store.
I've been getting all of my weekly comics from Astro Zombies since the first time I walked in there over 7 years ago. I had just self published my first comic book, and I found that the other shops I'd been shopping at since I was a kid had no interest in supporting or encouraging local small press offerings because there was no money in it, but Mike at Astro Zombies was super supportive from day one. He'd never met me, but immediately bought five copies from me on the spot, no wait and see consignment, just immediate support, and every time I came back he would hound me for the next issue. He's always been supportive of my various artistic endeavors, from featuring my old band Yoda's House in a showcase of musicians from his now defunct label the Lotus Sound, to donating art supplies for after school programs I taught at Zia Elementary School. Top that off with a truly superior selection of new comics, new and old toys, and the biggest selection of graphic novels in the city - it's no wonder this shop wins the Best Comic Shop in Burque every year in the Weekly Alibi. Haters are gonna hate, that's what they do, but my experience has always been super positive there as a customer, and my personal experiences with the owner have always been consistently positive as well, which is why all these years later I also call him a friend. also, one of these goofballs from a couple years back claims that you have to pay for subscription services in his "review", that is not only a lie, but you actually get a discount on your comics as a subscriber, even titles you pick up off the wall that weren't in your box.
I love comics in general. Wish the store had a little more isle space. Im still goving it 5 stars for the products and staff.
Cool comic book store
The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. This is a flat out cool spot. If you ever go, look at the ceiling. They have a bunch of famous signatures.
Nice place, a decent collection of all genres, and also a good selection of collectables and figurines.
The place is awesome. I actually hadn't been in there in years and the selection has really grown. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time and money here in the next few years
Staff is nice and helpful. Their music selection is getting bigger and better every time I come in. I also love to come for the board games and graphic novels.
