Behind the Scenes of The Comic Shop with Director Jonathan L. Bowen

In this exclusive interview, we sit down with director Jonathan L. Bowen to discuss his heartfelt film, The Comic Shop. Whether you're a comic book fan or simply someone who loves a good story about heroism, Bowen's film captures the power of passion, perseverance, and the unexpected bonds that form in the most unlikely of circumstances.

The Comic Shop follows Mike (Jesse Metcalfe) as he faces the tough reality of keeping his comic book store afloat, and Brandon (Micah Giovanni), a newcomer who forms a friendship with Mike while grappling with his own struggles at home. Together, they navigate the challenges of life, love, and comic books, with some inspiring moments along the way.

Join us as Bowen shares insights into the film’s emotional journey, the characters’ growth, and the themes of community, passion, and the comic book culture that inspired the story. We also dive into Bowen's own upbringing and what shaped his love for storytelling, as well as the films and experiences that influenced his creative vision for The Comic Shop. The film also stars Tristan Mays, Trevor Einhorn, and features cameos from Eric Roberts and Scott “Carrot Top” Thompson.

From Desperate Housewives to MacGyver, Metcalfe delivers a standout performance as Mike, bringing depth to a character whose fight for survival mirrors the larger struggle of indie comics and those who champion them. Shot in Las Vegas, The Comic Shop is a love letter to comic fans and a reminder that heroism can be found in the people around us, risking it all to help us find our way.
