Internet Presence
Midtown's website was at first purely informational, but has developed into a full-scale web retail site. The stores and website are supported by a warehouse in Queens, and a staff of thirty who are described by New York Magazine as "a rare mix of nerd knowledge and chummy confidence – who foster an atmosphere where browsing is more than just a means to a badly needed social end."
Midtown also produces a weekly podcast that covers the comic book industry, with a different comic book creator interviewed each week.

Famous quotes containing the word presence:
“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artist’s presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the soul’s style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
