Some of the bigger fandoms like Game of Thrones and Doctor Who have their own product sections near the front near the glass displays if you're looking for something specific

Chances are they'll have exactly what you're looking for. If you don't know what you're looking for, they probably have that, too.

Do you love comics ? This is the spot to go to when its downtown part of the city . If you're in midtown Manhattan, check out The Midtown Comics at 200 W 40th Street New York, NY 10018.

Best spot to check out newest issues or latest merch from your favorite Comic hero. Travel light, save the staff the hassle of having to check your crap. Ideal place to get last minute gifts for guys.

Get organized and keep stocked! FP while a great institution needs to work on keeping graphic novels in stock. I hate going and seeing the same books over and over. Like The Boys novels 2,4, and 6.
