Love this place, my kids started reading comics so I started coming here. The staff is the best, super friendly and helpful always nice.

What makes a comic book store great is always the staff. The staff at JHU are simply amazing. I think of them as friends rather than staff. Dani, Nick and Ron are the most helpful, outgoing people you’ll meet. I look forward to going to the store to discuss comics, movies and more. If you want to the whole nerdy, geeky experience go to JHU. Even if you don’t know what to read just ask them, they’ll always recommend something great.

Best comic book store in Staten Island, hands down. Great service, great selection.

I haven’t been to a comic book store in ages and clueless about the world of comics. Nick was very knowledgeable and helpful by informing me of the new comics out these days. He also seemed very passionate about his line of work, which is a big plus. I would definitely come back to explore more comics.

i have frequented this store for years and i can tell its on the steady incline! the staff, especially Dani, Ron and Nick, are awesome people with a wealth of knowledge just waiting to help you find exactly what you need whether you know what it is when you walk in or not. everyone should patronize this establishment. your one stop shop for kids of all ages!

A better selection of statues than some other Staten Island rivals, and a fairly robust variety of comics.

Just went in here for the first time yesterday. My guy’s been going to the one in midtown since he was a kid, but had no idea this one was here. Pretty excited to discover it! I don’t know how long it’s been there, but it looked new-ish — clean and spacious. There’s a space for gaming in the back, where some groups of kids were doing their thing. Not a huge selection, but it’s a nice, pleasant shop. I bought an art book by a popular fantasy artist from the sale rack which was over 50% off list price for no apparent reason(maybe a tiny bit of shelf wear?), so that made me pretty happy — it was cheaper than I could have gotten a used copy online!

An oasis in the desert is how enlightened folk on Staten Island think of this place. It was even worse once upon a time but even these days there are not many places for locals who need an alternative to the sports car/cable tv culture that dominates in this area. Every time I walk in here I feel a massive sense of relief that yes there are people here who appreciate good books/foreign culture/good music. That may seem like a big boast for a comic book store, but Jim Hanley’s Universe is a place where you can get underground comics, animé, good conversation, a cool t-shirt and tons more. Bless you guys. Don’t you go anywhere.

Often overshadowed and sometimes forgotten by its bigger sister site on 33rd, it still has a friendly staff. While it’s not as big as it’s sister site, books not available can be shipped from the store in NYC within a few days. Just try to avoid nonchalant opinions on comic related topics around certain employees, or you might end up in a discussion with no way out.
