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.

7.7Plot 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.

I might be a little biased as I'm included within this documentary, but My Comic Shop Country will definitely give you a look at some of the colorful characters who own comic book stores, things they deal on the business side, and just shows the love for this medium / industry that has to exist to have a successful comic book store!
