Storyline:
Not all heroes wear capes—some run comic book stores.
A once-passionate comic book store owner finds himself disillusioned, struggling, and ready to give up on his dream. Sales are down, enthusiasm is fading, and the store that once felt like his life’s purpose now feels like a burden.
Then he meets Brandon, an unlikely force of inspiration, who reminds him why he fell in love with comics in the first place. Along with their friend Alex, the trio embarks on a journey of rediscovery, finding new meaning in old dreams and proving that sometimes, the stories we love the most can help us write our own second chances.
With humor, heart, and a deep love for geek culture, The Comic Shop is a feel-good film about friendship, passion, and believing in your dreams—even when they seem out of reach.
