Comic Book Villains

What do you get when competing comic book store owners go head to head to acquire the collection of a deceased town resident? Mayhem, murder and lots of fun.

Donal Logue runs a local comic book store. Michael Rappaport and Natasha Lyonne operate another one. They are both informed that an older resident of the town who had collected comics for 40+ years has kicked the bucket and left behind one hell of a collection. To try and achieve fame and fortune, the competing stores try to woo the dead man's mother into selling them the comics. DJ Qualls plays Logue's friend who is caught in the middle as he befriends the old lady as the others resort to more drastic measures to get what they desire.

A clever and comic heavy comedy, this movie starts off rather lighthearted but descends into utter madness. It's fun and shows the imagined extremes that die hard collectors will go to to get the big comic book score. It isn't too hard to imagine this happening in real life and the results are hilarious to watch. If you like comics and movies and comedy, check this out. Great performances from a talented cast and a comic collection to die for.
