    Friendly staff and easily accessible via elevator to floor 1, moderately sized with alot of dc and marvel comics. Also a section for children books. Only con is it has a small section for manga and a small section for figurines. Prices are average around $20 a manga book to $10 for small comic book.

    A wonderful comic Shop located in the heart of the city. With friendly staff each filled with a wealth of knowledge and willingness to help you find the right comics for you. Also great supporters of local comic book creators so if you're looking for something fresh and different they can certainly help you out!

    A really cool place for some comics. Ppl there are super chill and nice. Jake is super talented. I almost forgot my sister there and turn out she's enjoying the guardians of galaxy at the corner. The staff knows about comic as well.

    Great collection, and very helpful staff who have great recommendations. As someone who has loved comics for 25 years, I really appreciate that Allstar Comics have a team that truly love comics! Highly recommend.

    Has a huge collection of noteworthy comics, and the staff are always very sweet and nice! They sell from indie sellers as well, which is always great to see. I got a comic called The Closet, but it was definitely a hard pick out of all the other comics! Would definitely see going back to in the future, and I hope one day I'll be able to buy Ultimate Spider-Man from there :)

    All Star Comics has instantly become my go to store online..service, professionalism and the little touches such as freebie mags, the nice thank you note and discount code on top of prompt super well packaged delivery to avoid any damage in transit is exceptional ...only reason avoiding coming into the store is that I will not be able to resist buying too many must read books. Great work - thank you guys 👏 Cannot recommend highly enough 🙏

    One of our favourite city destinations as a family. Great selection of comics and always very helpful staff. My boys love looking at their selection of vintage toys especially the Lego.

  • 5/5 Damien C. 10 months ago on Google
    All Star staff are engaging, educated, and super friendly which always makes visiting the store a pleasure. The range of comics available is incredible, and you are bound to find something that you've been searching for or like me stumbled across something you didn't know existed and love it. Prices are good, store is always clean, and location is perfect

    I live up in Queensland, but have ordered from this store twice. The first time, there was an error with one trade paperback when my order arrived (they have given me a “volume 2” instead of a “volume 3”), but after one short email explaining this, the correct book was in my hands less than a week later. The second time - most recently - I was using a parcel collect address, and I got a call to my mobile triple checking that what I wrote was correct. Some other stores in the past have written this incorrectly on my parcels, causing many a delay, but Anthony picked up the phone and called to check, which is beyond appreciated. Great store, great service, and I hope to make it down there in person one day soon.

    The best place to get your fix of comic-book wonder! Lovely people and awesomely large selections of books, graphic novels, manga, toys and also children’s books (tons of new stuff and classic collectables) ✨⭐️✨ Always a joy to visit!

  • 4/5 Dave G. 10 months ago on Google
    Kinda hidden away, but a nice store with pleasant staff. Good selection, and a great Local section, which I always respect. If you're into comics, definitely worth a visit, but really, expect just comics, not much of the peripheral merchandise or tangential related goods (board games etc)

  • 5/5 David G. 7 months ago on Google
    Great experience here. My daughter(4) really wanted a She Hulk comic after first being obsessed by the Hulk and then finding our there was a She Hulk! So we made the trip up, and she was amazed that such a shop existed. When telling the staff it was her first comic, they chucked in a few random kids comic book day freebies. To which she loves and now knows who spider gwen is. Thanks all 😁🙌

    Always enjoy dropping into All Star Comics. Remember to treat them with Kindness and reap kindness. If they are unable to get something in for you, they'll let you know. Great team of staff through the years I've been dropping into

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely adore this store & its staff. Their recommendations are always spot on, and I love immersing myself there when I visit. Go Troy and team!

  • 4/5 Chi Hong H. 5 months ago on Google
    Hidden away on the 1st floor of the building like a superhero's secret sanctuary. Great find on my business trip. Pleased that I managed to buy my son a comic from the shop.

  • 5/5 Shane 5 months ago on Google
    I’ve been getting my comics here for years now. Super easy to set up a standing order and I’ve never missed anything! The trade paperback selection is huge, you’ll find almost anything in there. A great shop to just browse the shelves and find something cool to read, whether that’s a TPB or latest release issues. Plus all the staff are cool and friendly. The perfect shop for long time collectors or for someone dipping their toes into the world of comics for the first time!

    Whether you’re a long time comic reader or simply curious about checking out your first comic book store: add All Star to your Melbourne Hit List, it is super convenient located on Queen Street in the CBD . The staff are friendly, welcoming and quirky- All Star was the first time I actually felt welcomed visiting a comic book store back when most stores still felt like intruding “man caves” . They have a great diversity of comics –something for everyone, from kids to adult. They a nice mix of new releases, manga, graphic novels and rarer finds. There’s some fun events through out the year also connecting local creators, readers and community, It’s great to follow them on socials to keep in the loop! They have done much for the local and international comic scene through out the years. All Star is more than just a store. Discover for yourself!

    Great range of reading materials. Super friendly staff are happy to talk people through what books would most appeal to them. Though I don't read comics that much, a high recommendation to visit for those that do.

  • 5/5 Richard K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful service! I ordered some Star Wars books online for my son - they arrived in great time and the team included a lovely note and some bonus content too. Thank you! We'll be back :)

  • 5/5 Velvet J. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the few places I was able to find a specific TP which arguably, could of been priced higher due to the scarcity. Not only were the staff kind enough to hold it until I was able to place my order online, they even threw in a few freebies. It was muchly appreciated and I will definitely be shopping here again.

  • 5/5 bradley l. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a little hard to find as I wasn't from the area, but once inside it absolutely blew my mind. Only down side was I only had an hour to spare. You need to allow a minimum of four and I could of easily spent a full day digging. Staff were helpful and friendly. Cannot recommend enough.

  • 5/5 Sol A. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down easily one of the best comic stores in Melbourne. Friendly service in store and also extremely generous and careful packaging when I have purchased comics online. I don’t travel to the city often but All Star Comics will be one of my main stops from here on out.

  • 5/5 Anno D. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful store with an amazing selection of comics. I particularly enjoyed how they were categorised by publisher/genre, and the staff were incredibly friendly. If you're hunting for manga, the pricing is +$0-2 compared to other stores, but each book is seamlessly packaged in plastic film. Hygienic and in relative mint condition :D

  • 5/5 Mark D. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff here are super helpful and inclusive. My wife is always a bit intimidated by comic stores where she's found staff dismissive or disinterested but All Star made her feel welcome and invited her to an all female comic group. Every time I've been in, everyone has been warm and friendly, helping me find what I'm looking for and shooting the breeze with me. I just wish I was in the city more often to visit!

  • 5/5 Chance A. 1 year ago on Google
    Just all around great staff and service. Thats what you want in a comicstore. Hats off to the great team there.

  • 5/5 Cody S. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m not one to to give reviews, but after my third time shopping with all star and getting great service I felt like I wanted to make sure they know. I came in at the last hour before with my girls tonight, and after picking up some things we got an overwhelming amount of support from the staff. Pretty blown away by the positivity at the end of a long day, and although my girls were shy when asked about the kid’s section they spoke about how much they loved it on the way home. Thanks again all, you’re my number 1 comic stop.

  • 5/5 Marc M. 1 year ago on Google
    Always make it a point to drop by Melbourne's finest comic book store whenever I come travelling to Victoria.

  • 5/5 Edyta P. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow 🤩 what a great comic book store, took my 9 year old daughter today, they have an entire kids comic book section which is awesome, she walked out with 6 comic books that she wanted and was absolutely over the moon, the staff were so friendly and helpful, will 100% be back here 10/10 The only downside to their location is parking, cost me $27 for not even half an hour, don’t park underground,avoid it or catch the train into the cbd

  • 5/5 Lydia W. 2 years ago on Google
    Super friendly team who care about their customers. They will absolutely take care of you and help with any recommendations you might need. Range is amazing. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Jasmine T. 2 years ago on Google
    I always love All Star Comics. The staff are welcoming and helpful, the shop is laid out well so that it’s easy to see everything and there’s room to browse. Always enjoy popping in here! The new location is also accessible via a lift which is great!

  • 5/5 George H. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite place to go every week! Lovely people who really look after you and are super friendly to chat! This store is what comic book community is all about 😊💪

  • 4/5 Reality R. 2 years ago on Google
    Walking into all star comics is an experience. You're greeted with the presence of hundreds of thousands of comics with one of the larger varieties and convenient layouts I've seen. But... All comic stores I've been to outside of the city have been cheaper. Not just 1 or 2 dollars cheaper either. More like 4-5 dollars cheaper and that makes a difference. All Star isn't my main comic shop, but it is a comic shop I like going back to, even if I'm paying more on some items.

  • 5/5 Daryn M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best comic shop I've ever been to. Nice quiet atmosphere. Friendly service. Excellent range. Online presence. But I think the biggest positive for me is the focus upon the BOOKS instead of drowning the place in pop culture junk. You come here for the comics, and that's exactly what you get. 👌

😠 How about getting back to kids that have applied for jobs at your store? It’s not hard to let them know they haven’t been successful after the effort they put in creating a video application.
