Midtown Comics Reviews

Would you believe I’ve waited years for an account fix?

I messaged technical support about an issue accessing my account on MidtownComics probably 2 years ago now and after they attempted to resolve it they said it would be escalated. I’ve emailed asking for an update probably every week initially but spreading out to every few weeks since. After a while they stopped responding to my inquiries on what the issue was and when it would be fixed. I would have at least preferred at “due to xyz reason we cannot resolve this issue” response but it looks like that’s not happening. Unfortunately they still get money from me as otherwise navigating on the laptop is still more convenient than my local comic book store.

Being New to Midtown for about 3 months now, I really like MidtownComics on my iPhone. Huge fan and really Love the Batman Theme! I get the updates for what is coming out a week in advance which, allows me to add pulls and Variants at my Local Comic Shop; "The Comic Bug/Manhattan & Culver City" Mike, Ben & Will!!! I love all the back issues and the daily discounts, the pre order discounts which are available and I get a good look for what new Comics I can Delve into. Also, the pre-orders and advance orders are a really nice feature! I also like how often the notifications for Newly Added Back Issues come in about 3 to 4 times a week. They also notify you for your wish list items as well. Super Huge when I am not at home to make the immediate purchase. A few flaws I get are that; I can't Make purchases from my iPhone 6 Plus or iPad; due to it having issues with my credit card, not sure why. However, I just go to make the purchases on the Mac. There is not a feature on the iPhone or Mac to do live Chat. One other thing is there is no access to view your Issues that are saved for later. Besides that, I love the access to Midtown I have from Southern California! Thanks again Mid Town Comics!!

Midtown comics is an awesome place to get books, games and other collectibles. The discounts alone make up for the shipping costs!!! But that all being said the only problem i have with MidtownComics is that at times it freezes and logs out when I’m in the middle of trying to order. It’s a minor problem that could result in a major problem when trying to order books that may sell out fast.... other than that I will still purchase my products from the because of there vast stock of books!

I have spent more money here in the first month of becoming a member than I’d care to admit and the selection is awesome. However I pay for NM comics every single time and nothing less but constantly received torn, dinged, creased, and defective comics. The only option Midtown offers is 25% off or ship it back at your expense. Now I’m not an un-reasonable person if it’s a 4 dollar comic and this happens once in a while no big deal but when I’m paying $30-$150 for a variant 25% off is not acceptable and neither is shipping it back at my expense when it’s happening more often than not. Who is in charge of quality control that they see someone pay for a near mint comic and they bag a book with a tear? So sadly for midtown I will be taking my large bills to a company that ensures valued customers who are spending a lot of money are taken care of.

I would give it a lot higher rating if it were compatible with the IPad as all he tp’ed is squeezed in on my iPhone making it harder to read.

The menu organization also leaves a lot to be desired. Rather than constantly having to surf through menus it would be a lot easier if all new issues were already sorted by type and character along with the scrolling menus.

Also recently there has been a constant error message every time I attempt to place an order stating some issue ( unspecified) is out of stock. Having to start all over not knowing where the problem is has become a nightmare. Please fix this!

All that being noted please do understand that I love MidTown Comics and I would not shop anywhere else for my comic collections!

Like I said in the title. I miss the old version. It was easier to navigate the search and new releases list format. With the new one, only a set number of results show up. When it reaches the bottom, it doesn’t extend to next 10 items automatically, like eBay. With the older one, I was able to go to DC, Marvel or Independents separately instead of a whole stream where, when you go to the end of the ten items, you have to tap the load more tab. Every. Friggin. Time. Now I have to scroll through all the DC Dynamite, IDW and Image books to get to Marvel. Now there is no option to empty cart. I have to hit remove for each item.

Last time MidtownComics was updated is three years ago and needs to be updated, even back then iphone screens were larger than the 4” standard when MidtownComics was released.

while MidtownComics works it may not work at a later date. all it needs is a screen size change and some tweaks as some reviewers noted no need to get fancy or what have you. just some modern features and compatibility to screen sizes

App is great, for the most part. I haven’t been able to order any books through it, and I’m using an iPhone. I keep getting an error message saying my card has been declined, and I have tried two other cards just out of curiosity, and it still says the same thing. My card is charged for my pull-list, but yet I can’t use the same card, or any card for that matter to make a random purchase outside of my scheduled pull. What’s even stranger, is that I’m forced to pay using PayPal when I use my desktop PC (Win 10) Yeah, what the....Anyone with similar issues?

I used to be able to make purchases before, but it’s been like this for a good year or so now. Ditto with PC.

I order a ton from Midtown so MidtownComics is super useful. But I wish I could get a fix for two main bugs. First is that I can’t set notifications on on my iPhone X with latest iOS version. I am pretty sure I could before at some point. Second is that comic book thumbnails don’t load sometimes, maybe a slow pull from the image database, but I check the website and the pics are there. Also a slight annoyance is that when my iPhone switches to night mode, MidtownComics doesn’t support it well. The notifications are blacked out.

For titles that are in stock it works great. Easy to set up a sub , shipping, an payment options. Prices are pretty good as well, lot of discounts and sales.I’m not into digital comics so this works great for me. Easy to navigate as well.
However could use a little work. If a series or book is out of stock there seems to be no way of back ordering it or adding it to a wish list through MidtownComics. Hopefully the website can be more helpful. Can be a bit laggy at times but nothing that bad. Could use a predicted search for looking up titles.

MidtownComics is great for searching and placing orders. There are few things that could be improved or added. Covers should be visible in your cart. This would help prevent ordering duplicates in different orders. It would also be great to get a warning when ordering duplicate issues. Something simple like “it looks like you may have this already”. Lastly, the user interface is from a very early iteration of iOS. Updating the UI may help with the above feature requests. All and all MidtownComics does it’s job and could potentially be so much better

Honestly I much prefer getting things from my local shop however sometimes they can’t order things I want and that’s where midtown comes in. They always have really good and cool collections of trades and singles. Love that singles come with bag and board and are always very neatly sent. My only complaint is the tracking system is semi strange and sometimes packages take a little longer than I like processing but honestly I’m always looking forward to looking at their variants and library overall.

I love MidtownComics! You can navigate it fairly easy and being here in AR, I'm pretty dang excited I can finally get Midtown exclusives! Not bad at all. Usually store apps are a pain to use, but this one writes everything pretty basic. I wish the search engine worked better and I can't find the button to add to my wish list (which would be extremely helpful) but other then that, pretty good.

Although I moved from NYC to Portland, Maine (shout out to Coast City Comics and Casablanca Comics), I still use MidtownComics weekly as a quick way to preview what I want to look for. My only “constructive feedback” is that it seems to shift to next week’s comics at about Noon on NCBD and I have to manually revert it to the current week’s
books (and repeat that each time I look at another publisher’s lineup) when I head to my LCS after work. Not a huge deal but...

I love MidtownComics so much, it really makes comic buying a lot easier to do. I can narrow my search to be able to find the specific title I’m looking for and with each search it gives you the option (if there is one for that title) to search for the comics they have or the graphic novels. It really saves you time especially when you know exactly what you are looking for. Overall MidtownComics is really easy to use and checkout is really simple.

I've been ordering from midtown for a month now and it's incredible how easy it's been to keep up with absolute Carnage and house of x through ordering from the site. Back issues are always coming out and it helps me keep up all the time. App itself is great but suffers a bit of lag time to time and design for edge to edge displays would be great but overall a solid app. Must own for collecting!

I cannot say enough great things about MidtownComics, it’s ease of use, functionally, constant updates on products, etc… If you need to contact any of the stores or general customer support, you’ll encounter exceptional service from knowledgable, passionate people. I truly couldn’t be happier. I live in Washington state, have TONS of other online and brick & mortar comic book shop options… I choose to get my comics from New York. From Midtown Comics. Give it a try, you’ll be glad you did!!

I know I could have paid more for weekly, got them sooner by hire shipping, but so far I’m really please with their pull list. Can’t wait to get them in my hand😬🙏🏻

They sent it out on 6/30 and it’s now 7/13 they changed hands from UPS to the USPS and then it was said it was delivered but nothing on the porch. $70 Worth of comics missing after waiting so long😑 sent a ticket into them and will see what comes from it.

It took forever, but I I found out they delivered to my neighbor and they held the package for like a week. Not midtown’s fault. I received like 5 other shipments. No problem.

Great app! Almost too great. While my friends are scanning through social media, I find myself browsing back issues. Find something, drop it in your cart, and check out. Easy and simple. Thanks to Midtown's careful packaging, my comics have always arrived in pristine condition. You will have a difficult time finding comparable condition of comics on the shelf in shops. I have returned to collecting after 30 years and thanks to MidtownComics it is easier than ever. Of course the cover price is considerably higher, but with weekly discounts you can still save some cash. I find that when I order $20 worth of comics the discounts more than cover shipping. Convenient and dependable, collecting has never been easier.

MidtownComics is beneficial for the local comic shop and the best way to know what’s coming. As far as Midtown Comics themselves they offer incredible deals daily. I check MidtownComics daily and can’t recommend it enough. I find myself ordering two or three things a week but I spend hours looking through their books.
