The holy grail of comic book stores , this place has any and everything a comic book fan and collector could want, from current and back issues to compendiums, clothes and other memorabilia .

Elizabeth Apollon

If you are just getting into comics or not sure who you like try the top floor. They offer old time comics from .99- $5 comics from most popular characters. The staff is extremely knowledgeable ????????

Dan Lam

Super organized , friendly staff and has quite a huge stock. Open pretty late in the summer, which is great if you get out of work late and wanna pick up the latest ish. Ray in the Toy dept. knows all.

Rick S

Nice staff and a wide selection of merchandise

Shanyce Lora

Love this place; I always go shopping without my glasses and the staff is always helpful in helping me find comics on the wall (that are right in front of my face!)

Leo Waka

Great place! Huge collection of comics , action figures and geek stuff... I really liked this place :)

Mr Bast

This is one of my #1 goals. If- scratch that -when, I go to New York. I will go to all three locations. TownSpuare, Downtown, & Grand Central. Before the Empire State . Before the Statue of Liberty.

Ernie Rosario

This is pretty much the place to be if you are a comic book reader. Even if you don't want to buy anything it is still worth a visit.

Dwayne Lowe

I like the friendly atmosphere and the two floors of comics and other stuff they have. And if you're lucky you might run into a comic creator of celebrity shopping there.

Michael C

Nerd central. If you have a super hero nerd question, there are nerd staff members working the floor to help you.

Carmelo transforms into a basketball machine when he hits the court. When drafting inspiration for the M9, Melo wanted his shoe to feel like a superhero suit, strapped in and ready to save the day.

Chrissy Nickel

Great selection, helpful staff , fun location. I found a few issues id been searching for in other stores

Order online if you don't have a local comic book store . The Online pull list is awesome. Also let's not forget every comic is bagged and boarded. You also get a discount on each comic 's cover price,

What a thrill it's small but you can see so many things in one place you can't help but feel happy

Check out the Music of DC Comics 75th Anniv Collection! 31 tracks of themes from Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc! Many songs have never been available before now and the CD includes a DC poster! Read more

Brilliant selection of current graphic novels and a great back catalogue as well .

Kevin Suttle

Giant collection of Gundam stuff on the 2nd floor.

Malene Hald

Not a good place for the casual browser – you need to know what you're looking for. Graphic novels and superhero comics is mixed together, hard to be inspired. But have almost everything.

Lee Lawrence

This is where it's at, people. The definitive comic book mega store.

Riding Bean

I expected more from being a touted chain with their own Variant Comic covers. Has some nice things about it, they just need to up the game at the shop for more unique items .

Vincent Iadevaia

The Walmart of comic book shops .

Trond Enger

One of the best comicbookshops I have visited.

The quintessential New York City comic book store ... Although I think the one on Lexington is less crammed.
