What We Love:
Walking into Final Boss Comics harkens back to that lucky moment as a kid when you got invited into your cool older sibling’s bedroom when their friends were over - and not just because the store is in an old renovated historic house. It’s more because the shop is covered wall-to-wall with so many amazing things to discover. It’s because there’s always something being discussed or debated that will have you making mental notes of all the comics, movies, books you need to track down and read. It’s the type of place where you feel instantly welcomed, and honored to be included.
Now truth be told, Final Boss has been our local comic shop for years now. We watched during the pandemic as a single retail sign popped up in a little cluster of shops just off of Main Street in Lawrence and since it’s official opening on Free Comic Book Day of 2021 it has since grown to become a community hub for the comics fans, the indie artists and zine makers, the board game enthusiasts and anyone who walks through their door. The shop has their own Book Clubs, RPG Clubs that meet regularly and host signings from local and prestige creators of all kinds.

On Final Boss’s “About” page, the story is as exciting as a superhero origin story. Told in “issues,” it’s a chronicle of Final Boss’s early days in Jersey City and what led to the store’s move to its home in Lawrenceville. Owner Floyd Bennett has had quite the journey before becoming our friendly neighborhood comic seller! His store has even made appearances in G. Willow Wilson's run on Ms. Marvel.
