Superheroes Store This is the place to go when your inner Batman takes over. The store is jam-packed with really great comic book stuff for the collector as well as the casual fan. I dropped in recently to just browse and ended up walking out with some really terrific Wonder Woman and Spiderman banks.

Best comic store! I heart the huge selection and total lack of attitude. So many events and sales and the staff is super knowledgeable.

Jim Hanley's Universe -- Welcome To A Strange New Place Jim Hanley's Universe in New York, NY is close to Madison Square Garden, and from the looks of the place, it definitely caters more towards the tourists that frequent the area. That would explain the lack of back issues which is the first thing I noticed. Fortunately, this store is looking to remedy this situation as they are willing to buy old comic books from those willing to part with their precious collections.

great selection of new comics These guys are the best! They have all of the newest comics and a lot of the independent rare to find comic book publishers as well. They also carry manga and DVDs of the better known anime out there. The store is large and they they have a so-so inventory of older comics. I'd definitely check them out! They sometimes have special signings as well!

Jim Hanley's Universe Jim Hanley's Universe is a great comic store located down the block from Madison Square Garden. They have hundreds if not thousands of different graphic novels as well as tens of thousands of comic books. THe service could be a little better but this is a tremendous place to shop for comic related material.

Jim Hanley's Universe Comics Jim Hanley's Universe is one of the mega comic stores in Midtown. They have a tremendous selection of in print items, rows of graphic novels, trade paperbacks, art prints and statues. They carry virtually every new comic that comes out and present everything in a clear organized manner. The only drawback is they don't have much of a back issue selcetion in comparison to the other stores in Manhattan.

Over-rated While they have the most varied selection in Manhattan, this place isn't as great as it's made out to be. Most of the staff is hired for their looks, not their knowledge of comics, and they do not offer good prices or deals.

Jim Hanley's Universe This is a decent, if a bit tourist, comic book shop across from the Empire State Building. As its location indicates, this place draws more toward the geek-oriented tourist crowd. There are a lot of 3-d displays and action figures and trinkets and such, as well as a moderate selection of popular comic lines and graphic novels. There's no overwhelming reason to go here, but if you're in the area and want to pick up an issue of The Green Arrow, this place will do fine.

Comics in Midtown Close to Madison Square Garden this shop is a comic book superstore. They carry runs of graphic novels and everything new that comes out. They have a nice display of comic statues. The only drawback is they don't really have much in the way of older comics.
