This is the place to go when your inner Batman takes over. The store is jam-packed with really great comic book stuff for the collector as well as the casual fan. I dropped in recently to just browse and ended up walking out with some really terrific Wonder Woman and Spiderman banks.

4 Stars: Yay TinTin comics (by kumar_rebina)

I used to work a block away from the midtown comic store last year & I was sorta dissapointed when they told me they didn't have any Tin Tin Comics. Some of the staffs had no idea who Tin Tin was.
Today, when my boyfriend & I were walking to MACY's, I noticed Sally from Nightmare before Christmas in one of the store's window. That's how we discovered Jim Hanley's Universe, Where Art and Literature Meet. They had more than 15 Tin Tin comics. I bought "cigars of pharaoh" & "the castafiore emerald". I know I'm going back to the store soon to buy more. It will be like walking down the memory lane with this new collection because growing up in Kathmandu, Tin Tin is quite famous. Did I mention TinTin actually visits Kathmandu(Nepal) in "TinTin in Tibet" ?

I love Jim Hanley's because they sell everything from comics to books, statues, toys, and t-shirts. And it's not just mainstream stuff, they carry merchandise from indies and small press. It's a fun place to browse through because I always see stuff there I don't see anywhere else. The staff is knowledgeable and pretty friendly. Wednesday is the best day to shop there as it's new comic day and they often have signings with writers and artists. Definitely recommended to comic fans and pop culture enthusiasts.

This place was amazing because I'm not really a "comic geek" and I loved it! They had t-shirts, books, magazines, toys, AND comics. Staff was friendly, merchandise was organized, and store was bright and clean. Wished "The Adult" section in back was more clearly marked though -- not good for little kids! Enjoyed it & will recommend it to others!

5 Stars: What a comic shop should be (by wonko_the_sane99)

My personal fav comic store in the city. The store is huge and very well spaced out. You can browse thru their wide selection and not fell like a criminal unlike some places. What makes the place stand out most of all is the friendly staff. For the comic savvy you can enjoy a little friendly dialogue with the staff and for the newbies out there you can get advice on what comics to pick up and not feel like a no nothing. An easy accesible store for comic fans of all ages.
