Our Story
We opened in 2012 shortly after Hurricane Sandy. There was no computer and plenty of missing shipments, but the store opened and has gradually grown into the thriving hub of geek culture you see today! From back issues to collectible card games, we nurture a community where fans of all ages can discover, trade, and celebrate their passions.
The owner, Michael, always wanted to open the type of shop he wanted as a kid growing up and because geeks rarely like just one genre or medium, the shop has evolved to sell comics, manga, board games, trading card games, and more!
Manifest Comics and Cards is here to help you find your new favorite thing, meet future friends, and offer a hideaway to just take a deep breath in a space that loves the things you do.
We Won’t Waste your precious time or money.
We get the basics right.

Gaming Made Easy
Our trading card game events fire on time and are always run by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Comic pull lists that just work
Only three ongoing titles are required and we take the hassle out of collecting. Never miss an issue again!
Customer Voices
“Manifest Comics is a great store with a community friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous, staff. The store is well lit, organized, and clean. My weekly pulls are always current, fresh, and neat. I started shopping here almost immediately after moving to Bayonne and have never had a reason to look anywhere else for my books. A top-notch retailer.”
