Conscientious staff. Helpful. Very knowledgeable. Satisfying most of your comic book needs!
I went to there randomly (for the second time) on a Monday 1/25/21 to browse. Every time the MCU drops something new it sparks my interest to know more about the comics and to buy merchandise. The store was organized and BEST of all was the staff. I ended up buying one of the books he showed me and we even had small talk about the new WandaVision show. The guy was cool enough to recommend two comics to read that would help me better understand the plot. Long story short.. organized store, cool merchandise, and AWESOME knowledgeable staff. I’ll def. go back!
Iconic NYC Historic Location, staff are super friendly and meet the perfect balance of nerdy and dope!
Very helpful staff, its a pleasure to shop there, best prices on action figures, best chance at finding more obscure titles, really great place, highly recommended!!
Small place but it was organized amazingly and the employees were eager to help.
Always good to me, got a book I needed, always fun to look around ..
Went for the first time to get my comics sent for grading through midtown comics grand central today and the process was painful to say the least. As someone unfamiliar with the process I had assumed they would be helpful regarding any questions and instead I was met with instant hostility. I was honestly taken aback by the rudeness and you could tell there was a tense feeling in the air for both customers and seemingly the other staff member on hand. Didnt catch the name but the man was tall,had glasses and tattoos on his forearms, and was seemingly the only one able to provide help regarding cgc services sadly. I ended up not even submitting everything I wanted because I wanted to get out asap. I went to the other midtown comics in times square and pretty much had the opposite experience. The staff were friendly, helpful, and courteous to the fact I am a novice getting into comics. Went online to see if there were any other negative reviews and there seem to be a fair amount but the store simply replies That doesnt happen! We are nice! Maybe the other locations are nice and friendly but not grand central store (Save for 1 blonde gentleman who was not there today). I am giving the store a 3 because despite the rude behavior they do have a decent selection of comics and back issues on hand. Only go here if the other locations arent available!
Great selection. Informed staff.
Excellent store, incredibly friendly and patient staff. Even had a baggage check for us while.we shopped.
Nothing much to say, its a very nice comic book store, nice and clean. Staff was kind and patient for those who dont have comic book knowledge. Highly recommend!
Great stock, online order pickup process and available options. Staff is hands down awesome!
Love this place they have a great selection of comics and memorabilia Ive been coming here for years and they stay current on all the new comics as well as offering all the old classics we all know and love I would give this place ten stars of I could Im so glad they were able to survive covid because if they close I would be devastated
Store is freaking awesome! Customer service is outstanding! I really enjoyed my time there.
Informative, engaging, and they knew exactly what I was looking for and where to find it. Store was clean, well organized and well lit.
Big and fun. Staff huge nerds happy to share with newcomers.
Always a great experience, nice friendly staff. Always a wide selection of new comic titles. They have three locations in Manhattan.
Good place, not many selections
Only stopped to help a friend, but this shop is very interesting, they have lots of goodies for the ones that enjoy Comics and super cool things 😁😄🤓☺️
This place is a total classic. Staffed by exactly the right kind of friendly nerd. Never miss a chance to stop by.
Friendly helpful staff. Great selection. Highly recommend them.
I’ve been coming here semi-regularly for almost 20 years. Great store. Good variety of toys and other collectibles, and an ENORMOUS selection of graphic novels, manga, and current and back issue comics.
I LOVE COMICS AND WHAT THEY REPRESENT, THEIR IS A TALL LIGHT SKIN DUDE IN THERE I NEVER KNEW ANYONE WHO WAS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE, IM NOT SAYING HE KNOWS EVERYTHING BUT HE IS A GREAT PERSON TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH IT MIGHT GET HEATED BUT THATS WHAT COMICS DO FOR YOU, THIS IS A GREAT STORE ONE OF MY FAVORITES
Latest comics,collectibles,tpb in the city. Cool knowledgeable friendly staff.
Great experience, lots of books, friendly staff. Im sure youll find what youre looking for. New releases every week.
This is a very easy spot to miss as it sits above another business and the many signs above the 2 entrances can be easily cause it to be ignored they have a decent selection of the comic mainstays (marvel and DC) and even a nice collection of the population manga (one piece). This is probably not the place if you are expecting a wide selection of indie comics... The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
My favorite place to shop for comics! The staff is friendly and the shop is a decent size to not feel overwhelmed with choices, yet the store is dense enough to spend a long while shopping!If youre looking for a place with not only knowledgeable staff but closeby to some great food and transportation look no further!
They have a large selection of comics and the staff is amazing!
Not sure where to best post this, so going to post it at all their locations.I recently order some hardcover art books from Midtown Comics and received what I can only describe as the most well packed, well taken of shipment Ive ever received from a retailer. The books were packed securely within individual cardboard coverings and shipped in a larger-than-required box to ensure ample space for additional packaging cushion. Really blown away and appreciative of the care and effort taken here to ship these books out.Immensely satisfied with my experience and highly recommend Midtown Comics. Well done!
Awesome place, staff is awesome
Friendly welcome and staff, lots of stuff to buy. Super cool shop.
My favorite comic shop near grand central. Bigger than most other comic shops around. Pokémon/YuGiOh cards, comics, merch, figures, funko pops, they have it all. Very cool and fun place.
Good place my son loved it
I got my boyfriend a bunch of DC comics for Christmas from here and he loved it. I am going to keep coming here it has a ton of stuff you can buy
If you enjoy comic books, pop culture and figurines- you need to stop here. The staff are hilarious, and so helpful. It’s always a fun atmosphere and there is a comic book for every kind of reader. They have a kids section, graphic novels, Manga, collectors editions and even coloring comic books.If you sign up (it’s free), you get discounts on all your large purchases-which is easy to do because there is so much good stuff. Support your local comic book store! The prices are the same or less than Amazon.
Great place for personalized service! This is one of three locations of Midtown Comics. This one has been in business for 11 years and another one has been in business for 21 years. They are known for their great service. They also have an incredible selection including manga and Marvel of course and collectors books. They also have exclusive publications that you can only get at Midtown Comics. You can find really cool stuff! They have a rewards program. And for womens month, they offer 25% off to celebrate graphic novels featuring female heroes!
Great range of collectibles and comics
Great place for comics and collectible figures.
Great selection and service. Has an elevator entrance on Lexington Ave. Staff are very friendly and kind. Recommend!
Great place. We drive from far north jersey to go. Excellent selection.
Its was very clean and the clerk was very friendly. They had nice selection of comic books, novels, and collectibles.
Cool place great stuff very nice place to visit...
Not quite the selection of the Times Square branch.
One of the few comic spots left in the city post Covid. Manhattan, especially.
Store: wonderful customer service and knowledgeable of their products. If one store doesnt have a product, they have have to two other midtown stores in which the comic or product you want can be obtained at the store of your preference. Jonathan was my first point of contact; with our conversation I felt comfortable enough to cancel my atomic empire subscription (multiple comics placed on back order. phone is never answered to cancel an issues I obtained since wanted issue was on backorder and does not guarantee I will obtain an issue or I won a bid and didnt want the main cover). Today I was able to obtain various variant covers of mighty Thor (jane foster) and labyrinth.Website: Manager today explained how to navigate the clunky and convoluted website on obtaining my desired comics. I do recommend coming in and speaking with him as he made the website easy to understand although the website itself remains difficult to navigate. I was also told the website is different from store prices and this is true as I see from my purchases. The website inventory seems to be different from in store as I have found issue in the midtown store that were sold out on their website. Recommend that if you cant find the issue on the website than call one of the stores.
Staff is really helpful & kind. Great store.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great selection of new issues. Hope to stop by again
Nothing against the staff they were excellent, they are following company policy. But if someone spends a certain amount the bags and boards should be included. Just a thought. The rating is only for company policy.
Great selection, priced for the area its in but not by much.
Good store with a lot of comics, not all anime but for comics, good choice.
Been going since last year, most times they got what i need, i still need to order a few thgs they didnt have, but i dont mind. I like going to the store...
Great place for geekdom. Has a lot of goodies for everyone. Never had a problem.
Sick place. Got lots of comics.
My favorite comic book store. The staff is great, the service is excellent.
The place is small but consistent..helpful staff
Has a great selection and super helpful staff. Prices are competitive too. If youre close or in town check them out you wont regret it.
Not much stuff in there for my liking 😕
Everything you need to fulfill your comic needs
Great fun store for nostalgic kick
What can I say one of the best comic shops around, just as good a selection (or very very close) to their time square shop, which is to say it has a great selection. Nice staff cool location. It is on the second floor so keep in mind you have to take an elevator up to the store itself. Highly recommended well worth the trip.
Staff member in shop was knowledgeable and friendly, prices reasonable and lots of stock +5 stars, woman serving behind the till oh my days, told us we were queueing in the wrong place and had to step 3 steps to our left basically, bearing in mind theyre was no queue, she wasnt serving anyone and none else was waiting! Had the personality of a goldfish, questions met with bars minimum amount of words as an answer if there was one! - 2 stars
Great place.
Really cool place with a lot of variety. Was able to get some banpresto statues and some other items I’ve been looking for for good prices compared to other retailers in the city. Would definitely go there again if given the chance.
A nice wide assortment of comics and very helpful service. Prices not too bad considering large assortment and the close proximity to Grand Central. Always like to visit whenever I am around to scout for some gems.
Great selection!
Been way too long since I went to this location. I want to return soon. With new gear hopefully.
Great staff really nice
One of the best comic book store in the city. You find it all here and so much more dude for real. They have some great prices and the selection is crasy huge. Everything about this is so cool.
Awesome store! They have pretty much anything you’re looking for. Highly recommend going here if your in the area.
Always pleasant store to visit! They got so much cool things!!
Sad to see this store isnt what it used to be. The store has decreased in size,not as friendly,not as organized as it used to be. Comic book section isnt as big as it used to be.
The best comic book store, hands down. Ive been to all 3 NYC locations and all have an excellent selection of comic books, graphic novels, coffee table books, toys, clothing and just about anything you could think of. Staff is always friendly and willing to help you find what you are looking for. Ive brought both family and friends to Midtown Comics and a good time is always had by all.
I like this one the best of the three. The staff is friendly and helpful. The organization of the shelves makes sense to me. The Times Square one is too crowded. Im not in the financial district enough to visit the other one often. Some stores have too many people browsing so the books on the shelf are all pawed-through. At this one you can get books that are in good shape. I dont know what else to write. Ive been to a bunch, this is the one I like.
Great accessible comic location. On one floor, large enough for a substantial sales collection, and small enough to be able to not get lost or lose my son (7 yrs old). Needs a little organization for kids stuff but if you know what you kid likes, you should be able to find it.
Lots of comics and comic items. Just what you would expect. Pretty cool to see in midtown. It is on the second floor. Look for a little hall and elevator.
