Insider Pages Reviews for Midtown Comics
Everything that is new and is comic book related makes an appearance here. Comic books , toys based on comic book characters and art portfolios are all on display here. They also have a nice selection of back issues but before 1980 or so thier selection is a bit spotty. The service is top notch and they have nice long hours which make shopping a snap.

When you are looking for a specific comic, check our their inventory and their channels - likely they will be able to find it for you. The staff is really fun and personable,and love to spend some time talking about the mutual interest of comics. Take a look at their collection of really old/rare comics, and you may get inspired for a future purchase

Midtown Comics opened it?s first store in 1997, and is now the industry?s leading retailer of comic books, graphic novels and Manga, with its online store as well as two landmark NYC locations in Times Square and Grand Central . Midtown boasts a huge alternative and independent comics selection as well, for those who prefer their reading with an edgier flair.

They not just comics! Midtown Comics offers a vast selection of comic book related action figures, statues, movies, books and so much more, all available online and in-store.

Vaughan, Peter David, Jeff Smith, Paul Dini, Greg Rucka, Neal Adams, Greg Pak, Mark Waid and John Romita Jr., to name just a few. Their signed books are also available online whenever possible.

Probably one of the more well known comic stores in the city, Midtown Comics has a wide selection of comics that you can browse thru. The back issue are great offering an easily accessible wide selection though dont expect to find any bargains. Upstairs is a wide collection of figurines, busts, and t-shirts to sort thru, none of which is complete w/o of course a hentai/porn section. Go figure. Still though defintley the place to go for comic fans.
Pros: wide selection, back issue bins
Cons: pricey
