Tor Comics is an amazing comic book store that has amazing staff that are super friendly and help you find what you are looking for. The staff will help you find any comics you need because they will probably have it due to their ginormous selection of comic books but I'll get to that in a second. The staff will go out of their way to help you find what your looking for even after you're gone! One time I walked in and was looking for the new regular show comic but they had sold out of it already so I went home and when I got back to my house the phone rang and it was Tor Comics calling to let me know that they found a copy and that they would put it in my folder. On two occasions the friendly staff helped me specially order something and they were super nice about. Then after the amazing staff there is the fact of how large their comic book selection is. Most of the time I go in looking for one thing but then all of a sudden I see something that I'm interested in and end up walking out with ten comic books when I only planned on buying one! But that's never a problem because all back issues there are 50% off! This is such a good deal because whenever I'm in there I end up buying a lot of comic books. They get all new comic books on Wednesday and all the new comic books are easy to see and access. I just wish that new comic books came out everyday so I had an excuse to be...
Read moreEASILY my favorite comic store. You will be hard pressed to find a selection as vast as this in NY. Also has a VERY vintage feel to the degree that I guarantee you won’t find anywhere else. However, I did see an unfair negative review here though that I would like to address since Darrin, the owner, has always been such a really nice guy to me. To the reviewer claiming that Darrin is a bigot, I have heard him go on a few similar rants on this kind of subject. I found your recollection and assessment of what you allege that he said to all be amazingly misleading. His frustrations don’t come from people’s races or sexual orientations, he simply, like the vast majority of comic fans, doesn’t like the shallow stories that Marvel puts out these days that hide behind politics. Once you get past the in-your-face propaganda of those books (you yourself might not be able to) you’ll see that there just isn’t anything there. No story. Nothing to say, or contribute at all to a medium of art. Darrin is a great guy, despite his nicotine addiction (that much about him is true, however I never smelled it...
Read moreWell let's see...this was only the second time I've been to Tor and yet again it sucked. Nice store but the staff SUKT. One guy I saw there the first time too and he was no help the first time and this time he was on the phone the whole time the other guy was a young kid and he was busy carrying on a conversation with some me friends of his that when I interrupted him he seemed a bit annoyed to the point that his friend said "Why don't you go over there and help him.", he reluctantly did. Even though everything is organized there were 10-12 long boxes stacked on top of the section I had to look thru, I certainly wasn't moving them. Would of spent more time and $$$ there but didn't, went with a friend and he walked out after a few minutes for the same reasons. That's strike 2... we'll give the store 1 more chance...but if not there are plenty of stores that would appreciate...
