My Comic Shop Country

Streaming video - 2019

Comic book characters are box office gold, but why do comic book stores struggle to survive? In MY COMIC SHOP COUNTRY, filmmaker Anthony Desiato sets out on a quest to explore the culture, business, and fandom of comic shops across America. Venturing behind the scenes in stores from coast to coast, he reveals an industry in transition as shops strive to remain relevant to the growing hordes of fans of movies, online gaming and mega-conventions. The film is a heartfelt exploration of the power of comic shops to build a community that honors the original form of the superhero: the comic book.
