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.

Awesome store! – I love Jim Hanley's because they sell everything from comics to books, statues, toys, and t-shirts. And it's not just mainstream stuff, they carry merchandise from indies and small press. It's a fun place to browse through because I always see stuff there I don't see anywhere else. The staff is knowledgeable and pretty friendly. Wednesday is the best day to shop there as it's new comic day and they often have signings with writers and artists. Definitely recommended to comic fans and pop culture enthusiasts.

They've got it and more! – This place was amazing because I'm not really a "comic geek" and I loved it! They had t-shirts, books, magazines, toys, AND comics. Staff was friendly, merchandise was organized, and store was bright and clean. Wished "The Adult" section in back was more clearly marked though -- not good for little kids! Enjoyed it & will recommend it to others!

What a comic shop should be – My personal fav comic store in the city. The store is huge and very well spaced out. You can browse thru their wide selection and not fell like a criminal unlike some places. What makes the place stand out most of all is the friendly staff. For the comic savvy you can enjoy a little friendly dialogue with the staff and for the newbies out there you can get advice on what comics to pick up and not feel like a no nothing. An easy accesible store for comic fans of all ages.
