Editor's Review
Midtown Comics Times Square stands out in the bustling New York comic book scene, boasting an impressive overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 from nearly 10,000 reviews. Reviewers consistently praise the vast selection, with one customer noting, 'This comic book store is massive and so fun!' (Katy Lamers). The store offers a wide array of comic books, graphic novels, action figures, and collectibles. New inventory arrives every Tuesday, ensuring that there’s always something fresh for fans to explore. Many families highlight the welcoming atmosphere, making it a great destination for fans of all ages.
However, some customers voice concerns about inventory management. David Girard mentioned his frustration with 'impossible to peel off' inventory stickers on expensive comics, which detracts from the overall shopping experience. While the staff is often described as knowledgeable and helpful, a few reviews suggest that some customers feel overwhelmed by the extensive selection and could benefit from more guidance. As Colin Bosler put it, the store is 'very impressive' but noted a need for clarity in pricing for discount comics.
