Bloggers on Yelp.com (http://www.yelp.com/biz/midtown-comics-new-york) also have high praise for Midtown Comics.

If you've been to the movies this past summer, then you know that Hollywood has been mining comic books and graphic novels for source material like never before. Thanks to a now-famous trailer displayed at theaters across the U.S. before screenings of box-office champ The Dark Knight, Watchmen is not only the best selling graphic novel of the year, but is also on Time Magazine's prestigious list of the All Time Top 100 Novels (http://tinyurl.com/4zxrrd).

"Like prose novels, graphic novels are not limited to any one genre. From Will Eisner's graphic novels of the 1970's to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, to the deeply personal, autobiographical Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, graphic novels continue to evolve and reach new artistic heights," says Gerry Gladston, CMO of Midtown Comics.
