Talking To Thor About Comic Book Women
Molly Jackson writes for Bleeding Cool;
That's no typo kids, I got a chance to chat with Thor Parker, one of the stars of Comic Store Heroes! That's right, I got a chance to chat with the Events Director of Midtown Comics, one of the biggest comic stores in the world.
Unlike other shows, Comic Store Heroes tries not to focus on the in-store sales and trades. Gerry is one of the owners, while Thor runs events and Alex handles major buys. So they spend more time focusing on their customer stories and how comics can change lives. Thor really expressed his caring side (that's a new side) about how Midtown Comics can bring people together, and I have to admit he is right. I have met so many geeks that are now good friends in their stores.
If you have been to the Midtown stores then you will know that the show takes place in all three, despite only showing the front of the Times Sq store. Fun Easter egg! Filming stretched out over a year, so there is even a chance you might see someone you know!
While this is a one episode deal, there is potential for more if enough viewers tune into National Geographic at 8pm est to watch! Yes, a lot of geeks are at SDCC tonight but as Thor put it, everyone is focused on comics now. Get your non-geek friends to watch too!
Just remember, tune into National Geographic Channel at 8pm est to watch!
