This, I believe, is the flagship location for Midtown Comics…read more Every now and then, I come here, especially during Free Comic Book Day, where you can get a selection of free comics. I've always liked their customer service and how they handle long lines. The value here is really good; there are a lot of cheap bargain-bin comic books alongside really nice collectibles. This is a great place to shop, especially if you're looking for a souvenir or gift. If you're not from New York, this would be a great spot to pick up a souvenir and experience a piece of the city's comic book culture.

Very tight stairway to get upstairs. They have a new section and there are a lot of classic, a $0.99 bin, etc. so a bunch of different styles of comics.

Wow what a shop! Bulletproof comics has been a staple in community for more than 30 years. This…read moreshop provided a respite for those that wanted a getaway from the Gang torn neighborhoods in the 90's. Fastforward to today not only is bulletproof ushering in a new crop of Comics, Manga and tcg collectors. Hank has singlehandedly cultivated some of the biggest comic events to date in Brooklyn. FRANK MILLER, yes the Frank Miller came to Brooklyn and had a signing. Hank has had celebrities from "The Flatbush Zombies" to Rob Markman, Comic Royalty such as Joe Illidge also frequent the shop. Not to mention Hank had adapted with the times. Video Games, Retro Games, Skateboards to Manga. Now High end Lithos and paintings. ALL while providing quality service. Im sorry no store in Nyc is beating Bulletproof Comics.

I've been coming to Forbidden Planet for years. I find they have a very solid selection. The shop…read moreitself it's so spacious and pretty dope to peruse. Their prices are pretty standard across most NYC comic shops. But, I find their service to be their hallmark. On so many occasions, staff has gone out of their where to look for a book I couldn't find, grab me something I missed while I'm checking out, and just offer a warm and positive attitude while I'm there. I think this is a solid shop and I always recommend it to people looking for comics in NYC.

If they don't have it, they'll know where to find it. Prices are reasonable and the selection is massive. Great service, very knowledable - I'd shop here every week if I lived in NYC. A definite must-visit if you're a sci-fi/comics/fantasy collectibles fan.

With this persona reply, I can see why. I guess its more a club house than a store. The door is usually locked anyway. They're not open when they say they are. And from the looks from the window, the store is super tiny and has nothing . go somewhere else. Theres a much better comic store both on the LES and in the Bronx on Fordham road that's worth the trip.

Born and raised in Harlem, I've always would stop in and look at all the amazing eclectic selection this store offers. Candles, oils, incense, spiritual tools such as Florida Water. Over the years and me growing in my spiritual journey, Nicholas has been providing me whatever I need. I also love that it's female and black owned. I'm so grateful for this store. You should definitely stop in and check it out. The new locations serves everyone with its own selection of figurines and toys on the left side of the store. So many cool things.

This was an interesting experience. Not your typical comic shop by ANY means, but still pretty fun…read moreto see and marvel at just HOW MUCH STUFF IS IN HERE! If you're looking for old stock to complete a collection, chances are, this is where you want to be. Majority of the warehouse *is* old stock with a smaller section for newly released comics. To me that's not really a downside because if you wanted new comics you could go literally anywhere else. But if you're looking for treasures, hard to find older issues, or just older comics in general that you want to read and don't care about the resale value or the condition it's in, this is the place for you. It's a place for collectors and enthusiasts that are searching because they want to own something, not because they're trying to hold it for resale. As for me, I was able to grab Star Wars IV, V, VI in comic form which I never even knew they made, just $5 each. I think this is a must-visit for comic lovers and I'm SO glad our uncle brought us here. Even if you aren't looking for anything, you really need to go just to see how many comics are on these shelves. It's mind-blowing.
