I’m heavily biased, but with the exception of maybe Brussels or Paris, I tend to agree with the New York Times, who says YES.

There is no better day to visit your neighborhood comic store than tomorrow: Free Comic Book Day, the annual industry promotion in which participating retailers nationwide will give away titles ranging from “Little Archie” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” to “The Lone Ranger” and “Transformers,” a spectrum as wide as the stores that sell them.

And there is no better city in which to make that visit than New York. While it may be better known as a financial, cultural and culinary capital, it shouldn’t be any surprise that the home of DC Comics and Marvel Entertainment also boasts the best comic book stores.

“It’s a wonderland for anyone who loves the medium,” said Brian K. Vaughan, a popular writer of comics for both DC and Marvel who works from West Hollywood but is an ex-Brooklynite. “The worst comic book store in New York City is better than the best comic store in at least 40 other states.”
