They have a lot of selection. I'm not a huge comic book reader but it was interesting to look at what's out there. They have a lot of kid friendly series and drawing books as well .

Candace Nicholson

Love their selection of graphic novels . And the staff is knowledgeable without any high pressure to buy, which makes it a very welcoming space.

Great place to get your weekly pull list and a fun staff always willing to chat about all things geek

Great location to shop for comics . You might even run into an artist or creator of your favorite series!

Your purchases eventually build up to you getting a $20 credit. Best reason to shop there

Slightly smaller and less crowded than the Time Square location. Otherwise, there isn't much difference. It's just as great.

Rick S

Smaller than the one near time square almost like a...sister location

Nick Sakalis

Go and enjoy the experience of being in a Real Comic Book store , the number of them are shrinking everyday. I hope this one lasts forever.

Steve Fisk

The staff is super friendly and helpful, much less crowded than Times Square store ...

Of the three I find the atmosphere and service here the best-known though I have no complaints about the service at the others.

Jimmy Kastner

A less touristy comic book shop . The more serious folks come here.

Karen

They don't do appraisals here if you wanted to know how much your old comic issues would value today. If you're looking to sell, do some research and sell on eBay.

Edgar Iaffa
