It's not just Midtown Comics. JHU has a similar problem. I bet Neal Adams; new Crusty Bunkers store so close to DC Comics' Burbank offices will include a similar direction of travel. But anyway, Midtown has a new such position. Just if you get it, try and stay there for a couple of years before taking the Marvel/Archie/Valiant/AWA/Dynamite shilling, okay?
