Neighborhood comic shops don’t come any better than this. An insane array of back issues (from golden age to underground comix to present day), toys, models, graphic novels, manga etc. Constant new stock coming in. Very fair prices and the owner is a good guy.
I’ve shopped at dozens and dozens of comic shops in my life and this might be the best.

I like comic shop like these. Reminds me of a place where I can just be lost rummaging through everything. Found me an ultimate spiderman #1 to finish out my ultimate spiderman collection.
I typically frown on disarray of comic shops… buy this one… as much as their is stuff everywhere things are kept in decent condition.
Kids who have this in their neighborhood are lucky.

I bring my kids here as often as possible. It’s a wonderful geek paradise. Comic selection is epic. Toys and collectables to boot. It has the smell of old paper and this place is packed from floor to ceiling. You could spend all day in here and not see half of what they have to offer. WE HAVE TO KEEP PLACES LIKE THIS ALIVE. It’s a straight up old school comic shop. Go. Buy comics. Enjoy!

Had a brief and very good experience shopping with my 10 year old son. All the questions he had were answered clearly and quickly. Will be going back for all future needs.

While I moved away from Waltham a year ago, I still go back to this great comic shop for collectables whenever I am in town. Steve treats every person that walks in the door like a friend. He knows what you collect and even holds stuff if he knows it will be of interest to you. A franchise cannot do business like that. Interested in a great place to pick up the latest in new comics and great prices on back issues… as well as more collectibles than you’d know what to do with? This is the place!

Love going in here. Smells like weed every time I go but the owner is great, the store has it all, and it just a fun overall experience. You feel like a kid again with every visit.

Steve is super friendly and helpful, the selection is wide and weekly updated and Steve always has a great reccomendation when you don’t know what to read. If you still find value in reading and picking up print copies this is the place for you!

Outer Limits has current comics, back issues, trade paperbacks, toys, buttons, books based on TV shows and movies, science fiction… the works! It’s all well organized too. I made some great finds here. The clerk was friendly and helpful. Parking was convenient too; there’s a public lot behind the store.

I am so spoiled to have this comic book shop within walking distance of my home! After more than a decade of having my comic book subscription at the Newbury Comics location where I used to work, I finally made the switch to the Outer Limits last year.
The store is well organized and chock full of pop culture toys, posters, and more. Steve, the owner, is a great, knowledgable, and friendly guy. The Outer Limits truly shines each Free Comic Book Day (the first Saturday of May!) when loads of little ones get their first exposure to the world of comic books.
If you’re on Moody Street, it’s a must visit. Pick up some comics, a James Bond postcard, an action figure or two, and then head to the Gaff for a «Mothra» cocktail.

If you’ve never been here before, you’re in for a treat.
It’s small, and at first glance, appears a bit disorganized, but Steve will always help you find anything you’re looking for. Super nice guy, very knowledgeable.
He has all the classics as well as all the new trendy junk. Lots of cool toys and vintage stuff.

A great shop for comic book fans young and old! The proprietor is patient and helpful, and there is a good selection of pop culture items beyond comics, including books, toys, and more.

If Steve doesn’t have it, he can probably get it for you. I’ve been buying my comic books here for almost 30 years. Best comic book store (and other collectibles) in Massachusetts, maybe the world.

Fun story to go and browse. I always find something fun for myself and my son. I feeellike. Have to take him in as a coverlike I am not enjoying it as much as he is. however it reminds me of my childhood and the Saturday afternoons I would spend in the comic book store searching for new and old comics for my brothers and my collection. They are helpful to find something if you know what you are looking for andcheerful to send you in the right direction.

My first time going to a real comic store — aka. not Newbury Comics and it was AWESOME.
The new releases are up in the shelves along the walls and the bins and bins of older issues are waiting to be looked through an discovered by its next rightful owner. Everything from old Startrek novels to graphic novel releases of GOT, figurines of every comic character possible from cyclops to Godzilla. It’s like walking into a mini comicon — a time transcending comic heaven. The owner is really knowledgable and definitely knows his stuff around comics.
Definitely impressive, go check it out.

I checked this place out after sifting through my old comics and deciding to replace their plastic bags — partially because they needed it but also as an excuse to explain to my wife things like why certain Image characters appear to have no feet or that «What If?» was good because it crammed an entire story into 30 pages instead of drawing it out for six months. But I digress.
The store’s selection is impressive. Lots of back issues, lots of graphic novels, and lots of classic memorabilia that I can’t recall seeing anywhere else. Need a poster of someone from Charles in Charge? You’re in luck.
I’m not sure if the person working that day was the owner, but he was friendly, helpful, and seemed happy to be there. When I’m looking to buy comics or really any kind of collectible, I will be checking here first.

This is one of the best comic stores I’ve been to in recent years. This store has tons of back issues (as far back as 60 years ago), collectibles, and posters. The person running the store, Steve, was a great help when I asked him for specific issues over email. The store is well organized and easy to navigate. I highly recommend this place for comics if you’re in the area.

I have been shopping at Outer Limits for over a decade — first, in person, and now by mail. Steve is a phenomenal store owner and let’s me know when my «goodies» are coming or if there are changes to the order. Everything comes in great condition and a timely manner.
If I ever moved back to the Boston/​Waltham area, there is no question I would shop in person again at the Outer Limits. You should too!

The guy who runs this place is always friendly, willing to help you find things, and showed infinite patience even on Free Comic Day when crowds of rain-​soaked steampunkers invaded the place.
It is a small store though, so you never know what you’ll find, especially for comic-​related toys and chatchkes.
