Now, 13 years later, waking up in a perfect cookie cutter home at the end of a cul-de-sac in a sunny corner of suburbia, Isadora has no recollection of her past life as the leader of a witch coven, nor her soulmate Nadiya, let alone the centuries-old war she has waged in defense of the soul of America...

WHAT IF? MAGIK #1 - (W) Leah Williams (A) Filipe Andrade (CA) Jeff Dekal Before she was Magik, Illyana Rasputin was just a kid whom Limbo chewed up and spit out seven years older. So it's no surprise that, at 15, she wants nothing to do with the X-Men...nothing to do with the New Mutants...and nothing to do with her own powers.

And while Tim's trying to live his life, there are cultists who want to kill him, believing his power will eventually corrupt him into becoming a merciless mage. Oh, and those are the good guys. Luckily, his new substitute teacher is more than she appears, and may be able to help Tim discover the mystery behind the Books of Magic...

He couldn't possibly still be alive, could he? After all...Harley killed him herself with her bare hands! Should she turn to President Power Girl for help? Or flee to the 51st state, Atlantis? Step into an insane vision of a future DC Universe we all better hope we don't live to see!

This shop has absolutely outstanding customer service, the staff are helpfull and easy to talk to, even if you dont know your batmans from your iron mans they can help you without a doubt
This place inspired me to start one of my favourite hobbies in 2010 and I am still playing Yu gi oh from this very day!!
Many years ago this was the place where the manager helped me get a start with Hellblazer and this my obsession with ol Con Job started and my hatred for Keanu Reeves intensified :)
Love this place, and the staff are great and very friendly.
Love this place so much. You guys rule............you to kerry (;

Love forbidden planet, it's got lots of different geeky things to please everyone :) so happy we have one in Aberdeen as most big cities have them x
I can't recommend this FP enough. The staff are completely approachable and friendly, and they've been consistently great at pairing me up with the right products, be they reading material, games, badges, or adorable little presents for friends. They've also hosted some pretty killer events, so it's a great place to meet friends with common interests.
For those of us who like to geek out in a safe space, Forbidden Planet Aberdeen is invaluable. Seriously, go there.
Great shop, and really helpful & knowledgeable staff :-)
Great set out. Helpful and friendly staff. Was only in Aberdeen for Christmas shopping and came across this shop, defo worth a look!
Great selection of trade paperbacks and manga with friendly staff who are happy to offer recommendations. They have recently started stocking more tabletop games (upstairs, behind the till) and I have to say the selection there is now very good! Also, it's not my thing, but if you want Funko Pops in all shades of pop culture (Power Rangers, old Hanna Barbera, Disney) they have it!
Amazing customers service, always love going in and the staff are great at helping you out with whatever you're after. They even order stuff in for you!
AMAZING!! Love it in there. Staff are wonderful friendly and helpful. I like the boxes of random pop’s.
RECOMMEND!!
Good shop can be a little expensive though
Great selection of comics which I enjoy reading with my daughter, but after purchasing items from Forbidden Planet for over thirty years I've never had staff so blatantly follow us upstairs, hover over us and humiliate us as if we were shoplifters. This morbidly obese (no offense) staff member couldn't have been any more obvious! So as far as customer relations go I give this shop a ONE STAR rating and I'll take my custom elsewhere in future. VERY DISSAPOINTED !!
