[@pop-comics]

[@pop-comics]

You are very welcome.

[@SendohAmari]

You have videos of your shop?

[@pop-comics]

Sure on the main channel pop fun to play I have a ton of shop content.

[@souldavidthompson4854]

What a great video! I watched a week ago, told my brother about your channel, sent him a link, and now watching it again this morning -- Awesome!

[@pop-comics]

Thank you so much, happy you guys are enjoying the channel.

[@cha5]

I always used to love going by the Midtown Comics store over by E 42 St near Grand Central whenever I was able to take a trip up to NYC. Good times! 🙂

[@pop-comics]

Yeah its fun to visit their shops. The main shop is a short walk from that location as well. I like to visit both when I can.

[@feridradoncic2237]

Cool comics

[@pop-comics]

Defintiely!

[@numberoneappgames]

Have you checked off Bookoff? They have comics too. I'm in your kneck of woods lols. There's also a business with a warehouse where you have to schedule to check out. They have an extensive collection. :D

[@pop-comics]

I have been to Book Off 100s of times. The Koch warehouse I have not been to yet.

[@davidbooks.and.comics]

You give good lesson in dollar bin diving.

[@pop-comics]

Thank you, I love sharing my collecting knowledge.

[@guybravaco]

Thank you - your channel is Excellent! Great content and perspective, love the walks, the inventory roll-throughs... just a great distinctive format. Ty!

[@pop-comics]

Thank you, happy you enjoy the videos.

[@sonic31century1]

It is so nice to see a dollar section where the comics are in some kind of order.

[@pop-comics]

a little order or a little chaos I kinda like it all ways.

[@sp1970ful]

I was by there on FCBD and they werent giving out comics you had to order them online. Its a nice shop though. Great footage.

[@pop-comics]

Oh that is crazy, FCBD brings in so much foot traffic I have no idea why they did not give them out.

[@jerrythejitterbugcomicbook4098]

That was fun. Been there many times in my comic carrier. Have to admit I am a golden age and wall snob hahaha and don’t do much dollar bin dives.

[@pop-comics]

Yeah key issues and Golden Age books are the best, they have pretty high prices on the wall books so I don't tend to grab those. I am always hunting for the best bargain regardless of the book.

[@kentuckymud586]

1st yes how you been my friend

[@pop-comics]

A little bit bummed after the flood in the stores basement, but going to try my best to get some content on here. I might just do clips like this from the walking channel.

[@peppidog1]

been missing the comic vids! would love to see you dig through bins at shops and flea markets and such

[@pop-comics]

Yeah I am missing them too, hopefully get to do more but after the basement flood I am having a hard time motivating to do comic videos.

[@cathysummers7558]

Great shop is one I love visited but I hardly travel. Would be on my list for sure! ☺️❤️🇺🇸

[@pop-comics]

Its a fun shop indeed. New York has so many places for comics.

[@cathysummers7558]

@@pop-comics I would love to travel but I never have travel very far. If I lived their I would be the local comic book collector! Have a wonderful evening! 😊❤️🇺🇸

[@pop-comics]

Definitely, its so much easier to be a comic collector in NYC

[@cathysummers7558]

@@pop-comics It indeed would be great. You live in a great area. I live in a small town and no comic book stores. I do go out little further to get comics but I can't go but once a month or up to a few months. Many comics I loved to find but I have got comics off of eBay so that helps out some! 😊

[@chi-tn]

Do you have any videos with your Golden Age runs?

[@pop-comics]

No golden age only videos just haul videos. But I plan on doing some collection tour videos and live streams soon.

[@ericupchurch2967]

Midtown Comics 📚📚📚 $1 Dollar Bin 💵💵💵 I would have Grab All the Tarzan! 🐯🐯🐯

[@pop-comics]

I know I was tempted to grab them, was in the middle of a 7 mile walk so did not want to have too much weight on me. I am pretty sure I have the set already too.

[@familyfirst34]

Great channel and videos. So much fun to see the comics books you obtain and your passion for comics. You buy a lot of comics consistently, I was wondering how you sell your comics. Aren't comics hard to sell and ship? Takes a lot of time. If you don't sell, you would need a warehouse to store them all, ha ha. Great videos, takes me back to my younger days of collecting comics in the 1980's as a teen.

[@pop-comics]

95% of my comic sales are just in my physical shop and not so much online. I tend to not like to sell things online due to the high labor costs.

[@kellyleavitt7738]

love getting the Mid Town Comics tour! I live thousands of miles away but have ordered from them online. Is East Coast Comics bigger and/or better?

[@pop-comics]

This was their down town location which is a bit smaller then their main location up town but about the same size as their second uptown location. They also have an outlet store I need to get to sometime soon.

[@kellyleavitt7738]

@@pop-comics Would really like to see it! 👍

[@cathyosullivan6236]

Good evening just woke up it’s 12.30 here ,

[@pop-comics]

Good evening!

[@jmcneer1]

Love Midtown’s Domino #1 exclusive… the perspective, composition, everything about it 😍

[@pop-comics]

Its a great cover, I need to get one.

[@daviclar867]

You need to get a head cam, braniac. 😃

[@pop-comics]

Nah this was just part of my 3 hour walk I did on the walking channel, but I thought it was fun enough to clip out for the comic channel. Its not a finished video that I would normally do.

[@feridradoncic2237]

My birthday is on Tuesday May 30th 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉☺️☺️😁😁😁😁😁

[@pop-comics]

Happy early birthday

[@wrldzz4475]

Do they always have that $1 bin?

[@pop-comics]

Yes I believe they have had the dollar bins regularly now for a few years.

[@willcaban5011]

I took a swig of gin for everytime you mentioned your tripod..was drunk by the end of the vid..

[@pop-comics]

Would have made it easier to dig the comics lol

[@willcaban5011]

@@pop-comics sure would 😃

[@sfq7675]

You should get a gopro camera and a harness. Keeps your hands free. Lots of garage sale youtubers use them

[@pop-comics]

I have one, I use it when I am filming a video. But this was a live stream. Different situation.

[@kentuckymud586]

Get one of the chest straps for your camera

[@pop-comics]

This is from the walking channel so mostly just want it stabilized while walking, was not really set up for filming in the shop. I need something that I can put the stabilizer on.

[@pop-comics]

Was also reading chat and interacting with everyone so hard to do when the camera is attached to me.

[@pionieresvizzero2224]

I will say something very unpopular, but I find the American comics scene extremely sad, this is due to the lack of variability of the works produced given that the vast majority of these concern the world of superheroes, with this I don't mean to say that it is wrong in itself to create works on this topic, what I don't like is, as said before, that there is a very poor choice of genre/themes, so much so that in the USA the rule comics=superheroe now applies and that comics that don't concern superheroes are now l 'exception. Comics are a very powerful artistic medium that can span extremely different genres: from historical themes, to noir, to sophisticated science fiction, to social novels, etc... and to see that Americans cannot conceive that there could be something else to represent beyond outside of a masked hero is simply disheartening. This is why I consider French comics culture clearly superior to American culture.

[@pop-comics]

That is only if you focus on Marvel and DC, I personally love the wide selection of indi books. So many great comics on Image, Darkhorse, IDW etc. As someone outside the US market, you might not realize there is so much more out there. The cool thing is we get a bunch of the French translations so I can enjoy those as well.

[@jasonfinestonecolors8859]

This video confused me at first. I thought it was live and that you were back at Midtown Comics for the second day in a row.

[@pop-comics]

Haha I just decided to snip out the clip from the walking channel for the comic channel. I might have to do that for a while until I figure out how to comfortably do comic videos again.

[@flavaflav7769]

KOOL VIDEO,,,,,,,BUT FOLKS STILL WEARING MASKS,,,,,,WOW

[@pop-comics]

Yup, In Japan people wear mask while being sick or after being sick to help their fellow citizens. I would love to see that still happen in the US. If you feel sick wear a mask.
