There are a lot of comic book stores in Connecticut. This one is one of my clear favorites. Fair prices and I recently found some back issues I was having a lot of trouble getting my hands on. Kind and helpful staff, will absolutely return.

This place is my favorite shop in the CT MA RI area. No matter what you’re looking for you’ll find it and so much more. Veteran & woman owned and operated the folks at wonderland are fantastic. If you have any questions or wants they can certainly point you in the right direction. The weekly sales are amazing and beneficial to everyone regardless of your collecting needs. Their back issue selections are alway getting new items. I strongly recommend a visit.

I remember when this was just little hole in the wall place, but this location was huge! Very well set up nice and open, well kept and organized. Super selection of most about everything. Lots on new comics, Anima, Pops, Pokémo, games, posters and on and on. Just about everything and anything you would expect at comic/collectible store. They have a gaming area in the back, looked like a few people were playing Magic or something like that. If your looking to start reading or trying to find something to fill your collection great place to check out.

The best comic shop ever . When I met the people there . I switched all my monthly pull list to this shop . They let me know about things coming out I'm might like . They even put books aside for me that they knew id want but didn't order for one reason or another. Love this place

Such a great place to look for comics and other collectibles. The staff is very helpful without being pushy. I liked their old location but the new store is far better.

Great selection, been going there for years! The new location is the best I've ever seen it. The kids also love walking around and checking everything out. It's nice to see the business still thriving and brining comics to life for a new generation. When I was a kid I saved everything I had just so I could collect the Danny Ketch series for Ghost Rider, I now own them all. This store will always be part of my life. See you all very soon and keep killing it!

Did a MtG pre-release there this past weekend and loved it. Nice store with good selection, very friendly staff and good prize support for the event. Will definitely be back for the next one.

Awesome place to pick up cards and comics. Great staff and incredible variety of stuff to look at.

Very cool comic shop that has just about everything. These guys know the true values of the majority of what they sell, so don't expect too many bargains as things are pretty pricey. I would go often to check out the mid-90s loose marvel figures. Wonderland comics allowed me to finish my toy biz collection.Wish there were more of these stores out there!

Stopped in for a look around while I was having my car serviced at the Chevy dealer across the street. Was told they have a "no loitering" policy after I had been in the store for maybe 10 minutes. Was asked if I had ever purchased anything from the shop previously and was told all about how "great" their customer service was. I left without buying anything and don't plan on returning. There wasn't a single customer in the store at the time aside from me and I was planning on buying something for an upcoming D&D campaign I'm running, but I think I'll just stick to Amazon from now on. Your "great customer service" pushed away a potential customer, I won't be returning.Just a note, I spent 11 years working retail and never once acted that way toward a customer. Yes I was checking out a bunch of stuff in the store, but they have a lot to look at. Thanks for the great service!

This place was so awesome! Just simply walking around and seeing everything was an experience in itself! Great place!

Husband and wife owners are super nice and knowledgeable. Huge collectable store with a massive wall of new comics always rotating out. I've been to many comic book stores and they beat all of them in variety and new comics hands down. I solely buy my comics and magic cards from them and always find great unique gifts for birthdays and Christmas.

Was in ct today checking out some flea markets. Our 2nd stop was Putnam and I forgot about this gem. After I was walking thru the flea market/antique shop I had some spare time to check out wonderland. I loved this shop I'm always looking die a local comic shop in the area and ct has some amazing shops. I'll be back to take my time and explore more another time. Maybe when free comic book day in may comes.

I don’t even want to have an experience instead of addressing concerns or giving good costumer service I see their rude, like some dude basically just asked if you can host his card game tourney other one said he was looking for product and got told off can tell management doesn’t care about they’re representation, horrible excuse for a company now wonder you guys can’t hold a spot in main for longer the. 5 years since you lost the og

I have been going here since 1997. The new location is huge and the selections are great. I haven't ben in the area in a few years and came back and had to go to the store. Still good selection but looking at the older books on the wall, I think they are a little high in price. But still worth a visit so give it a look when in putnam

Been to this place many times. Have always had great experiences. This is one of the best places for collectors anywhere in southern New England. The owners and employees work hard to provide grade A customer service. As a collector I highly recommend them.

Decent selection, but a younger women is very snarky and rude to me. In store and on the phone. I asked if she knew of a particular product and she called me back giving me attitude. She has even made fun of my clothing while I was in the store. I will never shop here again.After your reply I am seeking coucil and you will be contacted by my attorney.

My son loves going here, we usually get him gift cards each year. Staff are always willing to help if needed.

Definitely a comic store first but they manage to get a decent variety of most trading card games, role playing games and mini war games. They also have a decent selection of memorabilia and accessories. A few tables in the back and the store doesn't feel cramped. Overall a good stop for any nerdy hobby.

Large store with a fantastic selection of comics, back issues, games, and more. Unlike a lot of comic shops they don't have a fee for a pull box. Been shopping her for years and only have had great experiences.

Wonderful selection of comics and collectables, including new and vintage items. Store has a large, open floor plan, it has a kid/family friendly atmosphere, friendly, accommodating staff, and dedicated owners who will go the extra mile to help you find what you're looking for. Prices are fair, if not a bit on the high side. However, all merchandise is well organized, and kept in pristine condition, so you get what you pay for... and there are plenty of great deals to be found, as well as regularly occurring store sales. All in all, a very well established and maintained comic shop.

By far one of my favorite places ever. It's not overwhelming crowded with shelves, boxes, tables, ect like a lot of places I've visited which makes it comfortable to be in, everything has a wonderful flow to it. Also the friendliest of staff. I'm not one to chat about my next game session but I spent a good hour discussing terrain which lead to me picking up one of the terrain crates (if that's not good subtle salesmanship either idk anything about retail, and I studied that in college!!)

I went to this store to check out their miniatures. I had played war hammer 40k when I was younger and still had my collection saved at home. To my shock I found that they had some of my old miniatures. They said that they had been donated by a man, who "wouldn't accept payment" . We have had work done on our home and found that my collectibles had been stolen, and here they were, well some of them. I was able to prove that they were mine to the woman working at the time by showing her some remaining models. she promptly let me take what was left at the store and told me that she had the majority of my collection at her home with her husband, the other owner. They said they would collect them and return them. After not hearing back from them for some time we returned only to find that their story had changed and they said they did not have the collection.The bottom line is that this store took in my stolen goods, sold many of them, and lied about it. I would caution anyone in working with them.
