So, 'Comic Book Heaven' is this short doc that really pulls you into the world of Joe Leisner. The guy's 81 and runs this shop in Queens, which feels like a time capsule of comic history. His cantankerous nature is both charming and a bit abrasive, you know? The pacing is relaxed, allowing Joe's reflections to linger, making you appreciate the fragility of the comic book industry today. The atmosphere is filled with nostalgia, but there's this underlying tension about the future of his business. You can practically feel the weight of those dusty comic stacks. It's not just about comics; it’s a meditation on passion and persistence in a changing world. Definitely captures the essence of a bygone era in comics.
