Great job. I'm 42, been buying comics since the day I saw Web Of Spider-man #1 in the Broadway Market newsstand in Buffalo, NY after church in 1985. I bought it and I was hooked. Now, you can't buy comics at a newsstand anymore and little Mom and Pop comic shops are going away too. Sad to see everything go online.
Well done documentary! I like watching all these videos about comic store owners, really get me hyped to dive into the comics world again even though my wallet says no :)
I came by there the day you guys was filming.I thought I would see myself on here but I guess I didn't make the cut. I love this store,I hope it's stays around for years to come.
It's interesting how he seems so unsure about the future of printed paper comics, considering that nowadays physical sales have actually increased parallel to the rise of digital comics.
Oh cool, Johnson City? I was born there and still live over in Pennington Gap :D We're planning on opening a shop around here and found this very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for doing this, Cory! John was something else, unique, had his hand in a lot of things... he's one of a kind, and he touched a lot of lives. People miss him, I'm sure.
Yup, with everything going online, somebody flips a switch and all your stuff is gone. I'll always prefer physical products, if it's just downloaded code, is it really yours?
*"Download" ??* Ya don't need to Up/download anything! It's Not 2006 anymore.. *There ALL FREE ONLINE.* Just Google "Read Silver Surfer #2 vol.3" or "Read Action Comics #890" or Read "FILL IN THE BLANK" *Etc.* If 1 website doesn't have it, like Manganew or ReadOnline will. Another back-Up is always TH-cam if ya want it in video format, have it explained or something to ya. Or if your to lazy to scroll I guess.. Now, *HOW THESE 3RD PARTY WEBSITES GET AWAY W/ GIANT LIBRARY CATALOGS ?? I HAVE NO IDEA.* But they do.
I say comics will vanish, and our next generation won't care much for the older stuff because they won't be able to afford them and old people like us will have them put away somewhere and will be past on from generation to generation.
Vanish? Online for FREE LIKE NOW.. People talking "download comics" like it's 2006 or something. Google Search: "Read blah blah #14 vol.2".. How the internet hasn't sadly already Killed the comic book store LIKE IT DID THE CD/ DVD Store (Music land, Sam Goody, etc.) I DON'T KNOW........... Noble Collector's w/ Moral compass' & ignorance to the vast library's that our free on-line I'm guessing.. Once The Next 1 or 2 Generations our gone, Unfortanetly so will be the Future Of comic shops (sadly). Cause these youngsters Nowadays Read'um for Free or just flat out Don't care! *Like Mall Arcade's, Fun Park's, CD Stores, BLAME PHUCKING TECHNOLOGY CAUSE IT KILLS FUN & INTERACTION 100% !!! A.I. Is Next coming for ur jobs! No wonder why- DEPRESSION & LONELINESS HAVE SKY-ROCKETED* IN THE LAST 20 YEARS! Hmmm..
Awesome video! I miss John Stone. Rest in Peace John!
John was a great guy! I miss going to this shop in the 90's

Nice video. I found this when searching: day in the life comic books
Cory, did you ever do a second video with John?? He was our superhero!
I sadly did not Robbie, but he was the absolute sweetest and I am glad his friends can enjoy this little moment in time with him
Thanks for doing this, Cory! John was something else, unique, had his hand in a lot of things... he's one of a kind, and he touched a lot of lives. People miss him, I'm sure.

@5 Fold Understanding . The OPs point is still valid, you don't own anything and it could disappear overnight.
