Terrific little store for comics, graphic novels, and all kinds of sports cards for collectors…read more I've bought a few things here as gifts for my dad who is a baseball fan. They used to be over on 89th street but moved here on York and it's worth the extra walk over. Smaller space but they carry a lot of good stuff. Family owned and very helpful with any questions you might have. From the classics to the newest editions of comics and trading cards. If you are into vintage and current cards representing baseball, hockey, football, basketball players and more then it's worth checking this place out. It's also worth it to support a small local biz like this.

Just got off a cross-country flight and made the move to a comic shop that I'd heard about over the…read moreyears...I'd been after some specific Neal Adams covers for a while, and they happened to have 3 big "wants" sitting right there looking as clean as possible. Not only that, but they hooked up an on-the-spot customer recommended graphic novel based on the stack that I purchased. It was a great read on the trip and flight home. Hilarious guys and the owner couldn't be more accommodating. I'm just hoping they ship too - highly recommended!

Also I've come in for different items and if I dare ask for assistance I get the coldest reply of "over there", with no hope of any further help in locating what I'm looking for. Good luck going there, hopefully you'll have a better experience.

Came in to get hubs some comics as souvenirs from our girls trip. This was his request for…read moresouvenirs. Located upstairs and if the sign had not been out front on the sidewalk we would've missed this place. The staircase is very narrow so you sort of have to wait until it's free of folks prior to heading up or down. Organized place but packed and not very big. Overall value was good and had some cool things.

First and last time ordering from Midtown Comics. It took over a week for them to pull my order,…read moreanother week to process the shipment, and then over another week before it was actually sent out. Yes, I was only looking for a reader set and wasn't expecting pristine collector-grade copies, but I was still taken aback by the condition. The comics arrived dirty, dinged up, and in much worse shape than I expected. Definitely the first and last mistake I'll make ordering from Midtown Comics. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

I feel the prices were very reasonable, even though I saw some comments about people saying the books are overpriced. No one bothered us when we spent quite a while looking through the various shelves and it felt like a very calm environment in a busy city. Left with a few books so the trip was a hit.

First off, let me say that while The Lair is a "comic book store" in that they sell comics, they…read moresell many other things as well - toys, caps, accessories, and - most importantly for me - Magic The Gathering cards. I don't really buy anything but Magic cards there (and peripherals), but the comic section is up to date and they offer a subscription service - so tell them what books to pull and they'll be there waiting for you when you come in to pick them up. The Lair has recently started bringing in celebrities (from the comic and sci-fi/fantasy world) for signing events and meet and greets - for a store in the Bronx, this is a big deal! Magic the Gathering is now a big part of what The Lair does - and if you're looking to play on a Friday night or over the weekend (Standard, Modern, Constructed, Draft, etc...) this is your spot in the Bronx. For marathon sessions - caffeine and sugar filled snacks are available for purchase (most at $1 each). The owner goes out of his way to do right by his customers - all sorts of perks, give-aways, etc... And the regular customers are a pack of really great guys (I saw someone bring a girlfriend once - so females do pop in, but don't expect too many of them to be there at any given time). I wish I could give that fifth star, but the accommodations are cramped. It's not anyone's fault - the store was not set up to be a gaming space... But - as you might imagine - some people who play Magic are larger dudes who need space to spread out. And yes - there's a bathroom on site to use - but I don't recommend it if you're claustrophobic (it makes the store iteself appear spacious). Again - these are really only issues if you plan to play games (literally) at The Lair and are going to be there for multiple hours on end. As a straight store for shopping for your comic, sci-fi, fantasy, and gaming needs - top notch. Highly recommended!

Royal Collectibles is the gem of Forest Hills and perhaps Queens. It's a comicbook shop you want…read moreto be a part of. A shop where you know everybody's name and they're just as excited as you are when you talk about collectibles. The owner Mike is the all knowing comic guru, Bob the man you go to when you want to know what's hot and read-worthy, Diane who handles all the logistics and keeps the shop running, Michelle the Funko Queen, Tommy the master of wrestling and Dragonball, and finally Jordana their newest crew member. You walk in and you're immediately hit with a basement/attic air, the kind where there are thousands of books to sort through, statues of all kinds, toys from every era, and a knowledgeable staff waiting to share their passion. Their hours are still limited right now because of COVID so only 5 people are allowed at a time in store. They also do live sales on IG every Wednesday around 630pm EST of the week's newest releases and occasionally Funko and key issues. This is one of the local shops I come often, maybe 2-3 times a month and I spend an embarrassing amount of money here. But I'm happy to because we should support the local shops and people we love.
