Plot summary

My Comic Shop Country is a feature-length documentary film exploring the business, fandom, and community of comic book stores across the United States. In 2015, New York's Alternate Realities closed after 23 years in operation, setting filmmaker-and former AR employee-Anthony Desiato on a quest to explore the comics retail industry from coast to coast. Comic book characters are box office gold, but why isn't the same necessarily true for comic stores? See how the 20 shops featured in the film are turning the tide, one customer at a time, seven days a week. Plus: Learn the fate (and future?) of Alternate Realities.

Acme Comics represent!

Checked out this documentary about mu favorite type of brick and mortar store, the comic book shop. As a comic book nerd since the mid 80s (flipping through and buying x-men/wolverine comics off the spinning racks at the grocery store to gaming and buying comics at a now defunct comic shop where I began playing Magic the Gathering, D & D along with other tabletop RPGs at. When Daddy Jim of Daddy Jim's comics passed away I gravitated to Greensboro's best shop Acme Comics. I have stayed a loyal customer there since then. When my daughter (now eleven years old) was born started heavily collecting and collating high grade ungraded runs for myself and also resell) She spent her early childhood crawling around the store and running around like a crazy lady. She has her own little collection of comics, graphic novels and more recently Japanese manga!

The one common thing that has never changed is the friendly face/human encyclopedia that is Lord Retail helping with great recommendations for things he knows I would enjoy, helping point out titles he thinks I would do well speculating on. Ordering extra copies of things for ne by request/holding things like variants he knows I would want, getting me retail incentive variants from retailer meetings/events/etc.

One thing not pointed out (that may have happened after time of recording) Jermaine is no longer the manager at Acme, he is now the first black owner of a comic book store in Greensboro, NC, another is next door they had a sister store called Acme comic Presents carrying mostly toys (Transformers, Funko Pops, shirts, posters, etc) but now it has merged into the Acme Comics shop.

Outside of the focus on my favorite store it was cool seeing more insights into other stores and the struggles/reasons they stay open. If you enjoy comic books 8/10 even if there are no crazy reveals that you would not know if you already are friendly with your LCS and hang around them regularly but if you have no interest in comics I would probably pass.

Great Doc!

Even if you don't collect comic books, this documentary is worth a watch. It shows how much work goes into running a niche store, and how much it is appreciated by the customers. A feel-good documentary that doesn't celebrate the mistreatment of big cats.
