First time in this New York comic book. My husband is a huge fan! Service is amazing and they always take good care of the comics you purchase and handle with care.
I recommend going on Wednesdays !!
Friendly staff and knowledgeable. However I didnt find that many back issues of Amazing Spider-man. Great for current release and collectables.
Stopped by here with some friends and the workers were really nice. Helped with whatever we needed. Definitely would go back.
Quieter than the other locations but the same friendly helpful staff
One of the best comic shops in Manhattan with the best staff of all 3 locations.....everyone is friendly, personable and helpful! I love the selection of the store, and the toy section is one of the best in the area. The place is pretty well organized. I do wish they had extended hours, but given the shape of lower Manhattan post-COVID and the fact that they have a bottom line to keep to, I completely understand.
Midtown comics is candy land to me, Im a comic and toy collector. Nice rewards program too.
Huge inventory of comics and collectible toys. They host events like signings with Jim Lee! Only 4 stars because they dont really offer any discounts on books. Everything is at MSRP when you can get most of the books on Amazon at a discounted price.
Always have a good experience here. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Had everything I looked for and prices were good.
Love this place! Wide variety of choices. A collectors playground
Nice comic book store with a great selection.
Had a Super time at todays MTC book signing meeting the great Legendary John Romita Jr! Truly an Amazing creative artist. I was able to get 3 kool items signed. Classic Superman bobblehead, Superman - Year one book and a custom designed poster I made from him to sign and Mr. Romita loved!
They have an amazing selection and the staff is super helpful! I felt nervous because I just got into comics and I know I was going to sound ignorant about things, but the staff member helped me out incredibly! This is definitely a nice safe space to get away from the every day life of New York and dive into an abyss of hero’s (or villains) !
First place I ever bought comics. Always a great shop to come back to when Im in town.
I like their wide selection of comic books. Theyve got lots of fun stuff in there like action figures and stuff like that. The staff was really nice, helpful, and they have convenient services for returning customers.
I order through the app and online all the time and to date have always received what I’ve ordered and packaged very well. The only complaint I have is the processing time. It will take anywhere from 3-5 days from the time you pay before they actually ship.
Great place with friendly people! Some things priced a little too regular. I could order online for some items through work for a few dollars cheaper. Most items were well priced though. It was a great overall experience.
Magical shop. Large collection of comics books & comics merchandise. Prices are quite high.
Its Midtown Comics. Awe on the senses. Worth a visit if comics/comics art is a love, worth a visit even if comics arent, but you love comic based movies. Just worth a visit!
Midtown Comics is a great place to get figures and comics in general, but Ive noticed that most locations are lacking stock in terms of figures (possibly due to the pandemic somehow).This location specifically, though small, does pack nearly every crevice with all kinds of books and merchandise and truly makes the most of its space. Youll likely spend a good while looking about, which I recommend since theres always something tucked in a cranny youll be interested in!
Very Nice Staff and great collections! found a little bit of everything
Great staff very helpful and always stocked with new books only thing I wish they cared better Silver,bronze and a few golden age books. If you read this review and check the store out let me know in the comments what books you picked up and or statues , toys ect... Well enjoy everyone And if my review helped out dont be to shy to tap the thumbs up.
Great and welcoming staff and great range of merchandise
Good place to buy comics, manga, and related items. They also host signings, but you have to follow their Instagram account to get a ticket for the special signings. Little on the expensive side.
Im not a comic aficionado but I do love yugioh and recently bought a seto kaiba standing figure for around $50. They were open during the recent snow storm and though customers were minimal the attention and service we received was optimal, not overbearing but very helpful. I also bought a marvel mug for tea to sip while admiring my seto kaiba figure, which is quite beautiful.
This us the second occassion on which I went to the specific location, this time for a comic book signing. The staff at this location as at the others were very accomodating, nice and helpful. Amazing customer service.
This 1 star is because they’re are price gouging and charging scalper prices for a Pokémon Celebrations Pikachu Box 75$ for something normally retailing at 50$ and I can confirm buying one at the Nintendo store recently this week as of this review. I will not be shopping at this store anymore. The Marvel legends are also being upped in price but it’s not that bad so I usually deal with it but when this business decides to charge not 2$ or even 5$ more but 25$ that’s where I draw the line.
I actually like this location better than the one in Times Square... I just like the layout better
Great selection of comics, graphic novels, collectibles, and even hosts comic book signings with a good spot for the line to start so as to accommodate not just the people in line but people who want to walk down the street!
They had a book I was searching all over the internet for at cover price. Plenty of staff willing to help. Every genre was organized properly
Amazing place! Really big with a lot pf choice for any comic fans! My friends really loved it!
This place was great! Cool and open set-up, and staff was attentive, yet let you do your thing while shopping around. Turned a corner and once I saw their sign, impossible no to go in.
You have kids? Bring them here and watch their exitement.
Best comic store ever!!
Awesome comic book store with great friendly staff. The selection is always good here and they regularly have promotions and sales on back issues.It is a little smaller than their midtown locations (so a little less selection) but it is not as crowded and has more of a chill vibe.They have a rewards program which gets you $20 in credit for every $120 you spend, which is pretty decent.Very much recommended!
Nice comic book store with nice collection of recent issues and action figure
First time visiting this location today 8/25/2021, a little more welcoming and open to answering questions than the Grand Central location. Talked me through any and all questions from CGC to free comicbook day. Think Ill visit this location more often.
Nice people big selections dont have to climb 🪜
Excellent Selection On Free Comic Book Day.
Great place. Very big selection of popular and niche comics. Worth visiting to update your collection.
Very helpful staff and a great inventory to treat yourself to!
Not sure where to best post this, so going to post it at all their locations.I recently order some hardcover art books from Midtown Comics and received what I can only describe as the most well packed, well taken of shipment Ive ever received from a retailer. The books were packed securely within individual cardboard coverings and shipped in a larger-than-required box to ensure ample space for additional packaging cushion. Really blown away and appreciative of the care and effort taken here to ship these books out.Immensely satisfied with my experience and highly recommend Midtown Comics. Well done!
Very good comic selection.
A little small but what youd expect from a NY comic store space. People there are super helpful and friendly, despite pricey merch.
Still my favorite location of all the Midtown Comics stores!
This is my favorite place in the my universe. Midtown Comics brings joy to the child reader to the adult collector. The staff are wonderful. The events are unreal. They really cater to t he customer. That have a wealth of knowledge that they share freely. Theyre friendly, accommodating, and it puts a smile on my face every Wednesday when I go into the shop.
I have been collecting comic books for many years and I have seen many comic book stores come and go. Midtown Comics has three locations in Manhattan with this store being the youngest of the three. All are unique and have their own personality which is very unusual. The other two are grander in their own way but this store is more personal and intimate. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable in many of the genres represented in the store. Even if you dont have an interest in many of the wonderful things to buy I highly recommend going to see this store if only to experience what has become one of the sightseeing jewels of this area so close to the South Street Seaport.
This is a great place to get new comics. Every Wednesday, by 8am, a line of hard-core customers is ready to enter to buy that weeks new selection. For popular titles, they most likely will have them in stock. Their back issue is ok. Mainly recent issues. They do have wall comics but they tend to be pricey. Wait for the holiday sales...but dont wait too long...staff are friendly, the customers chatty...its organized, clean. A great place to pick up trades, action figures.
Theres ONLY ONE NEGATIVE THING I have to say about this location & thats one of the clerks. Bearded guy behind the counter mostly on Sundays. He seems like he gets bothered when asked a question [which was regarding a comic book] and flatly says whatevers on the wall is all you get but the other sales associate overheard us and more calmly helped me with my question.Other than that, the place is nice, clean and a lot of selections. The sales associates on the floor always treat customers with kind and will assist in anyway possible. Just the one guy behind the counter.
Great staff - friendly and knowledgeable. Decent back issue selection. All the new stuff. And t-shirts, toys, action figures, and other fun stuff. And some beautiful premium figures. A great place to stop off if youre down by Fulton Street and the Waterfront.
Visited the store in January 2019 and this is a heaven for a comics fan. Lots and lots of books and other comics and movie related stuff. Comics ranging from Marvel to Disney Donald duck to Archie and the list is endless. You could spend hours here. Its not cheap but not expensive either. Loved the classic Donald Duck comics from my childhood and found some of them here and of course bought them on the spot. Helpful staff too.
Location 3 of the one the best if not only chain of comic book stores here on the city. The layout is clear and not jumbled. The inventory like usual of the company overall is massive. They have Marvel prose novels that are hard to find. Must do for collectibles shopping!
A huge variety of comics and action figures. Staff is friendly and the shelves are very organized. Its easy to find what you are looking for, alphabetical order and latest releases.It also has posters, shirts, keychains and gifts.Worth passing by and checking out.
I love this comic book store but last time I was here my experience was not so pleasant. I took my sister here after the movies and shes a big fan of X-men and loves comic books we asked for help to find an specific edition and the guy who was fixing the comic books was a little rude and seemed like he didnt wanted to help at all. I hope next time I go, I dont seem him. I go to have a nice experience and buy things not to deal with rude and bored people who hate their job.
This store is pretty solid if youre looking for current issues. If youre looking for variant covers on current issues, they will likely have them.They have a fairly decent section for trades and hardcovers.But their action figure section is pretty awesome. This is the place to look for figures. They also have a model/import selection, but its kind of limited but not bad.Where this store is lacking is in the back issue section. They have a spot but its not a very good one. Its more recent back issues that didnt sell, is my guess. If youre looking for back issues, their Midtown location is the best place to go.
Great staff and selection. A big comic book store with rare stuff and back issues.Most importantly they carry artsy, euro, and traditional superhero comics (many comic book stores can devolve into hi end toy stores, others dont carry the weird stuff, but this one keeps a great balance). A great rewards program effectively adds up to 20% off for each hundred you spend.
Very clean comic shop. I know when Im downtown I can stop by for a quick buy from their wonderful selection.
Love this place and the people that work there. Best comic shop in NYC.
The male employees who work here are generally cool and upstanding, but the female employees usually carry themselves with a disinterested attitude or they come off as snobs. I dont know what their issue is, but I can assure these women none of them are exactly my type.Overall, the atmosphere is pretty calm and quiet, with a nice selection of comic books and graphic novels. But Ill be sure to order my comic books online for now on. Comic book joints are not as niche and welcoming as they used to be.
I found out about this location a few months ago and have been coming every Wednesday during my lunch break. Although smaller than their flagship midtown location, they still have a good selection of back issues and are up to speed with all new releases. They also have a great selection of other items as well. The staff is already very friendly and knowledgeable. Their $20 off $120 membership perk is a great benefit (effectively $16% savings). Ill definitely be a regular here as long as I work in the area. Excelsior!
Great staff, knowledgeable and helpful, and great fun to browse!
Great place to go to buy comics and sell your comics for a pretty good price. The variety of comics from comic strips to manga! The place is easy to navigate and the back with its giant rack of recent issues is nice. The place is a little dusty though. Other than that it is the best comic shop in the area!
I felt like a kid again when I walked up the stairs and saw all the awesome stuff in this place. Gives Forbidden Planet a run for their money. Ive workedin the area for years but never went in, but I will be going back often now that I have. Toys, accessories, manga, comics of course and lots more. A SUPER experience!
The staff was very knowledgeable. They were very friendly as well. They had a lot of other cool items besides comics.
Great store, nice client service very helpful.
Variety and awesome staff.I bought my t-shirt and Wonder woman magazines!
Great variety, comics for any and Susie assist on any budget. We were lucky enough to be there on Free comic book day and were ecstatic to get a packet of comics! Many collectibles there as well. if youre a huge comic book fan make sure to check out the super tour of New York City offered by On Location Tours, we did it and it was totally worth it!
Cant go wrong here if you looking for your comics!
Like most Midtown Comics locations, Downtown is a clean modern shop, with an excellent variety of toys, new comics, back issues, posters, and other bips and bobs.The shop aesthetically lacks all the quirkiness and charm of smaller local shops, which often tend to have collectible gems that Midtown does not; as its tends to overfished by collectors.Their staff tends to be extremely knowledgeable and can be very friendly, and enjoys engaging customers in comic discussions and debate and all are well read in their choice of comic entertainment. They perform excellently for garnering minimum wage working 40 hours a week and in an extremely busy atmosphere. I was extra peturbed at how long Midtown attempted to stay open during COVID and how quick they were to open up and enforce mask rules.Midtown has their own customer benefits/loyalty program that has regularly declined over the years. What was originally 20 off every 100 spent in 2010 is now about 10 of 150.Midtowns best attribute is the character of their employees, something large corporations like midtown tend to overlook and end up losing some of the best people.
My husband and I went for a signing with Brian Michael Bendis. It was awesome. We spoke to the other people on the line and had a great time while we waited. When we got inside the staff was awesome and meeting Mr. Bendis was so amazing. He was really down to earth and appreciative of all his fans. The store is on the second floor of the building. Its jam packed with comics, pops, shirts, bags and so much more. It was a great experience and Im excited for the next signing that they have.
I dont really classify midtown as a local comic shop because they are just so big. The negative to that is that it lacks the personal touch of the local shop and they dont carry many back issues in the store. The good thing about them being so large is that they get all the variants, obscure indy issues, and have a great website for pulls.
Great comic store chain. They always have plenty of new issues in stock on Wednesdays and their service is excellent. Ive attended a couple signings at this location (Brian Wood, Becky Cloonan, and Brian K Vaughan) and things have always gone smoothly. Their staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. Be sure to ask about their incentive program, $20 in store credit for every $100 spent.
First time in the store staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Worth the over 8 hr drive from Toronto I will be back every time Im in NY one of the best comic books stores I have been to. Thank you Midtown Comics for the amazing experience.
Great comics, terrible customer service. The young lady helping me both times was curt and indifferent. Instead of explaining the stores policy regarding returns and exchanges (which shouldve probably have been mentioned up front as I was clearly bringing product back into the store) she instead opted to help me try different combinations of products until I found what I liked. Only then informing me of the policy. When I expressed my frustration and confusion I was met with silence and no apology. I doubt Ill be back.
Great! The service was good and the store was very clean and neat. I would definitely recommend this for people who love comics and collectibles. I would 100% go here again.
I love this place, Ive been here before and the staff was great except today one of lady at the front was a bit rude, I didnt say anything to her because i didnt want to cause any distress. The way she spoke to me was unnecessary. APRIL 13, 2021
Basically the mecca of comics b comic books and movies buffer dreams.. .
I came here on their first day of opening and I will continue to come back here for all of my comic books needs. It has all of the selection and atmosphere of the original Midtown Comics but without the large crowd of people. Thats not to say that this is a desolate comic shop by any means. There is always someone on staff that is willing to talk a bit about comics and like every Midtown shop, theyll be extremely helpful and enthusiastic. The only obvious drawback of this particular shop is that since it does not have the same size as their main shop, you wont find a very large selection of back issues on site, although everything is easily available from their warehouse and online ordering.
...the preeminent comic book superstore of the east coast, a nerds paradise ...the place is huge and well stocked, whatever you want, they have it; comics, magazines, collectibles, clothing, accessories, etc, etc ...well laid out, very organized, staff is super knowledgeable ...an absolute go-to for any comic book geek in NYC.
Convenient location near the seaport & trains in downtown Manhattan. Nice selection of comics. Well stocked back issues as well as graphic novel reprints/collections. Staff was friendly & helpful. Just wish it were mom & pop so, they would have more discounts on books, like buy 5 get 5% off or something like that 4 people who dont order on the internet.
My favourite of the 3 branches, good range without the times square crowds
Midtown Comics as a whole is not good. I am done using this place, as they desperately overcharge for things. They had a signing recently where they talked about donating $2 per issue of a comic sold to st. Judes Hospital for Children. The issue is, they werent actually donating any money. They charged the customers $2 extra per issue. They also didnt make proper arrangements for the artist doing the signing, necessitating everybody waiting outside in pouring rain for an extra 45 minutes with no movement. Definitely avoid. There are better comic shops available in United States that can get you your Comics. Zeus Comics in Dallas is one great example.
Awesome selection of comics, graphic novels, books and collectables. Really friendly and helpful staff that are fun to chat too and nerd-out with. Recommend a visit even to just look around.
Its a large store with tons of comics. But the staff didnt seemed to know much on comic books besides what they have. Just the basic employee knowledge like whats popular, where they keep their books and such. But ask them specific questions on artist, specific books or content and you wont get much from them.
Great selections and the staff is always upbeat and helpful. Store is clean and things are organized and easy to find. On top of that theres have a pretty good rewards program for returning customers or heavy buyers.
Tremendous selection and extremely helpful staff. Whether it is the comics, graphic novels, apparel, cards, or action figures, they have it all. The only drawback may be that there are so many choices that making a decision becomes a challenge.
Such helpful, friendly staff and undoubtedly the most versatile range of comics and merchandise from your favourite shows, animes and films. Exquisite figurine replicas of your favourite characters and heroes, such as Deadpool, Ellen Ripley and even Link from TLOZ.
Ive always had a good time here
This place is awesome.. They have everything you need or looking for and customer service is excellent. They are knowledgeable and helpful.l get all my comics and collectibles from here. Highly recommended.
The Downtown store is convenient if you dont want to travel to their flagship store. The staff seem robotic. There is no empathy or sincerity to their delivery. Only one gentleman seem eager to help & has knowledge about the product.
A cool spot for comic enthusiasts.
The staff is always nice and helpful whenever I stop by. Great selection of comics, graphic novels, manga, and collectibles, even things that imported set at a decent price.
A downtown off shoot of the stolid New York comic institution this is the place to go every Wednesday to pick up the new releases or trade paperbacks. They also offer a lot of non-book merchandise like hats, t-shirts, and toys. The staff is a little pushy for you to buy stuff and they really dont do back issues well but its a good place to go for the community of excited fans buying books. Be sure to sign up for their rewards club - every $100 you get $20 free which is incredibly helpful if you plan to actively pursue a series (or 52).
Very nice selection and good prices. However, it appeared that the associate at the register wasnt comfortable answering questions. Ill still come here when Im in NYC but Ill be sure to not ask questions.
Friendly & organized staff. Fun place with tons of eye-candy. Amazing selection in more than just comics. Ted & his crew will find you EXACTLY what you are looking for.
In the age of digital media, where book stores are closing and newspapers are going out of business, I find a lot of comfort in the fact that these comic book shops have stayed open. Midtown comics has been my favorite for over a decade, and I try to stop in at least every few months. Keep fighting the good fight!
Very knowledgable and friendly staff
Its an amazing place to buy comics. They have all types of comics including the new ones that are coming out. They also get some limited edition comivs. They also sell figures of different characters.
I make a trip there at least once a week. Usually on Fridays. Once you enter youre always greeted by someone and theyre ready to help you with anything. Everyone there is super friendly and are willing to help you with anything comic or anime related.
Average selection, midtown & forbidden comics seems better. Cash registers were broken, I was the 2nd customer on line and it took over 15 minutes to check out. Missed my train home.
I have my pull list here and Id highly recommend it. Great selection and it just feels like the place youre meant to be when you walk through those doors, especially as a reader of comic books
My friend and I were helped a lot by the staff they were knowledgeable and provided a lot of assistance in the genre she was looking for(recommended Animosity, witchblade, Manhattan Project. We will definitely come back!
I went for my son. It was a acceptable experience the employee was nice, I felt it was forced , I get these reactions at times...other than that...it was ok
The Comics are over priced and some of the staff members are snobbish. They do not have the best selection of back issues. The store is geared for tourist who dont know any better. There are far better stores in New York than Midtown Comics.
Really sad, I expected to find more collectibles, more status, clothes but not a lot.Not a lot of things about Superman
This place has a great selection of comics, figures, books, etc. Theres plenty of staff and theyre very happy helpful. They even have Wacky Packages!
Not the best selection in the city but a friendly staff, never too crowded (nothing is these days but still) and being able to buy stuff online and pick up there is convenient.
Absolutely the best comic store Ive been to. Well stocked, staff is awesome, and its always a relaxed environment in there. Recommend to any comic book fan.
Great selection not only of comics, but of figures, shirts and (most importantly for my daughter) Funko. Helpful staff with good suggestions.
Like the stores in Midtown, this is perhaps one of the finest comic book stores on the planet. Highly competent staff that will help with anything youre looking for. A must for any geek passing through downtown Manhattan !
Cleaner and more organized than another branch Ive been to (midtown). Staff is helpful and knowledgeable.
There store is massive and full of options. I found it almost overwhelming the amount of material that I could geek out on. I was able to pick up some 50 cent comics and some free ones. In the end I left with a bag full of comics for $3.
Great staff and a great store. When I used to work in the area, I loved to hop in on my lunch break and look around. The staff are ready and able to answer your questions and if they dont have it, they are more than willing to see who does so that way you can always get what youre looking for.
Fun store, with an amazing collection. The only problem with this place is it definitely does not have the same vibe as most store, it is not a place to hang out and learn about new comics. Just a place to go pick something up, its probably there.
Great staff and nice assortment of merchandise.
Midtown Comics has improved for order fulfillment from 2018-2020I had to edit my past review from 2016-2018 and give credit where credit is deserved.Thanks Midtown Comics for helping me get all books ordered online from your website from 2018-2020.I think you even have your packers use gloves...NO MORE STICKY FINGERPRINTS on my books...NICE JOB!!I have never encountered an issue over the years of ordering from the following online comic stores:TheComicMint - disadvantage they do not sell all booksMyComicShop - disadvantage they do not sell pre-orders, you must order books on day of releaseStadium Comics - disadvantage they only sell pre-order collector sets, although they do have rare and hard to find ratio and variants and fulfill order in its entirety (Not a partial order fulfillment)
They have a great variety of comics and exclusive articles. the prices are good and they give good service. without you are a MCU fan you most come.
Nice looking and organized store. Not overpriced either which is surprising.
Very comprehensive comic book store. Nice staff and healthy selection of books magazines posters and clothing...
Any comic fans dream shop. Constant artist or writers having signings. In addition to having a program that gives you a discount when you go over 100$ this location is not as crowded as the Times Square location. Any comic fan can be here for hours huge back issue stock, statues, accessories DVDs, shirts, etc definitely a must if your in the area.
Went there a couple of times now. Great place to find all the latest issues of what ur looking for! Depends on who is in the store depends on the service u get from them most of the staff where very helpful!
I found the gundam I was looking for at a good price!
I love this store. The staff are really friendly and always super helpful. There are normally other customers there but, its not stupidly crowded like the midtown store.
Great place! Perfect nerd heaven! I love star wars and Batman, this place didnt disappoint. Recommend visiting it! Super nice ladies working there as well!
They love stairs. Lol. Every Midtown Comic Location is on a 2nd floor. Is this intentional. Lol.Make sure to sign up to their spend $120 get $20 of plan. It comes in handy.
This place is chock-full. There are books everywhere, thousands and thousands of books.And the staff are quite helpful. And well read, but of course.Part of the charm that is Clement. Check it out and enjoy.
Love this place.. great staff always helpful and great to talk to. They pretty much guided my entire graphic novel experience bringing me from a dabbler to an experienced coniseur of comics.
It was amazing! There was a lot of really cool stuff. I wish I had more time and money to spend.
These guys got a great comic book selection and other awesome collectibles as well. And everything here is reasonably priced too.
Awesomeness, I get pure nostalgia walking inside MC.Every visit I find something interesting to read.
Solid selection of comics, toys, statues and other hero related gifts. Great place for gifts, or if youre an enthusiast yourself. Friendly staff.
Better than the midtown store
So I go there an when I do the two guys there are awesome but let me tell u about the ladies that work there cheer up if u guys dnt like working there leave geeeeeez if Im putting money in to your guys paycheck by buying stuff at the store b friendly the girls there are so rude never say bye thanks I guess the guys they cos play with left them for hotter cos play girls cause these girls are to damned depressed to be working at such a fun store to the two dudes that work there u guys rock the girls should get docked.
Great place for awesome and rare comics. I got a signed copy of the first issue of Paper Girls!! Definitely going back.
The statues are awesome. Lots of cool collectibles and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Definitely check this place out!
Amazing customer service! Always can answer any questions I have. Great selection of comics too. Great rewards program that keeps me coming back
Good knowledgeable staff. While I am an old school comic book reader, they cater to all. New readers are always given great recommendations.
You like comics? You like merchandise? Then you´ll love zjis comic store! its on the second floor in midtown manhattan, not so easy to find, but whe your in, you will be flashed by tons of stuff every kid and adult with a childy heart will love. Take a few hours and make your way through this shop!
Great place with a little bit of everything. Most of the employees are very helpful and nice. I make a weekly trip to the store and they never disappoint.
Quick service, courteous staff and a great selection of recent comics and other related merchandise... And here you can avoid the Times Square tourists and assorted lunatics! I will be back.
Good to see stores liie this still exist. But it sucks that they dont just give you a free plastic case. And also all the chachkis and shirts are a bit disorienting
This location is a favorite of mine. The team of employees here are welcoming and helpful. They have a good selection and will use the online website as a resource if needed. Thank you!
Friendly workers, great prices. Awesome selection of things to buy from all types of fandoms.
Great place if your looking for for something or your not sure what to get the will recommend whats good by asking you little questions like what you into
Great friendly knowledgeable staff, and stock, store and inventory are top notch too
They get all comics with large amount of supply. The staff are all so nice and knowledgeable and genuinely like their jobs.
The staff are really nice and they offer a really large variety of comics, graphic novels, wearables, and a lot of other stuff!
This is the location where most of the comic book artists and writer will come to do their signings. Lines are always out the door next to the alley but you meet awesome people and the time flies when you are having fun.
Awesome comic store. And Im coming from NJ. Way better then the comic store in fair lawn nj.
Good selection of items, friendly cashiers. I buy many Gundam model kits here, prices are very fair.
The staff was so helpful and friendly. It was fun to chat with the cashier about the figure that I was buying. The selection is hard to beat as well.
Huge selection of comics and books - not as big as midtown location though, and hours are now limited. Would be great if they were open till 9 pm.
They mail you damaged books on every online order. Ive ordered 4 online orders and 3 of them arrived with damaged books. The 4th order was incomplete and double charged for shipping. This is an example of their quality.
All the Midtown Comics stores are still the best in New York! Ive been going since the day ther first Ive opened in Times Square.
Recently waited on a nine hour line in front of the Midtown Comics downtown in the city for the ComicCon tickets. When I finally reached the store the staff was extremely friendly and thankfully I was able to get my four day passes for the 2014 ComicCon!
Great staff, very neat store, and always well stocked. Easy to find what you are looking for and if not you can always ask the knowledgeable and friendly staff.
The Barnes & Noble of comics, graphic novels, gifts, and collectibles. I was thoroughly impressed as I made a pilgrimage here while on a recent business trip. Knowledgeable and creative staff.
This place is conveniently located near Time Square. Just talk a walk up a flight of stairs and pick up all your comic book needs. If you need back issues and collectibles you just have to go up another flight.

My favorite comic store. They have planty of merchandise aside of comics (which they have plenty of as well). The staff is helpful and friendly.
Awesome selection of comics and related toys, etc. Lots of collectibles. I personally collect Funko Pops and they always have many in stock to choose from.
The Times Square and Grand Central locations get most of the foot traffic, but the Downtown location gets the big-time creator signings! Smart staff ready to make wise recommendations to experienced and neophyte comic readers.

2022-08-17Best comic store....ever. Well, not quite but its very good.The staff look like they were trained in The Androids Dungeon and are suitably knowledge about comic books. The shelves are ordered by character rather than by publisher which makes life a lot easier.Most of the store is devoted to comics, not merch, which is refreshing.

2022-04-04Located downtown a few blocks from Wall street sits this cool comic store. Staff is friendly and store is clean. I am giving them 5 stars based on the selection alone. Between the comics and figures you should be able to find something of your liking in here.As I was walking around you can see how everything is nicely labeled and in the correct locations. Batman had its own section and to my surprise there were a few series I had not even heard of. I will return!

2021-06-02Never gets old... This is my favorite comic book shop for a while now. A few years ago I brought my son for a treat and ever since it has become a huge treat to get there a few times a year. The selection of comic books, and books on Marvel characters is great!They also have very cool figures, and quite a bit of collectables.

2022-06-24I like this location. Employees always say hello, they ask if I need help, there’s a variety of items available. The Funko pop section is often lacking (heavy collector here) but the manga section, which I often check is excellent. If you are looking to check a cool place out, be sure to stop by!

2022-06-28Terrible customer service. Ordered a book online and it never got delivered according to the tracking number. I even waited just like their website implies due to Covid slow downs. When it never came i contacted midtown and the customer service rep told me i waited too long and couldn’t help me do anything. When i asked to speak to a supervisor the rep refused to connect to someone else and when i insisted they stopped replying. I will never buy from them again. Buyers beware.EditThey ended up contacting me bc of the review and corrected to situation upgraded to 3 stars. But still should have been taken care of right away.

2022-03-21A friendly oasis! I love this place, and all the care and creativity that goes on inside it. Leaf really cares about comics, his customers, and supporting local art talent. The selection is really solid and its just nice in general to have a comic book store in the Mission.
