Whether people like comic books, comic book movies, or comic book characters, we all share a deep passion for tales of heroism that makes the world a better place. That's probably why comic book store Mike (played by Jesse Metcalfe of "Desperate Housewives") and new-kid-in-town Brandon (newcomer Micah Giovanni) take such a liking to each other.

From writer/director Jonathan L. Bowen, "The Comic Shop" co-stars Tristan Mays ("MacGyver") as Mike's loyal employee Alex, who may have to take a job at a rival store when her hours get cut; Trevor Einhorn ("The Magicians", "Mad Men") as the spoiled and scheming rival store owner; and with cameos from Eric Roberts and Scott "Carrot Top" Thompson.

Bowen's story frames the emotional journey of the characters against the backdrop of their love for indie comics and the unique community of creators and fans who often struggle to find a place in a market dominated by Marvel and DC.

Shot on location in Las Vegas, "The Comic Shop" is a slice-of-life love letter to comic fans that general audiences will easily relate to. "The Comic Shop" reminds us that the best sources of inspiration are those around us who are willing to risk it all to help us find our way.

Alcohol doesn't discriminate, but it does trick many people into believing that they're the only ones wrestling these demons.

Hadley Sorenson's story is of a social drinker, fully immersed in our society's rampant drinking culture, waking up to realize that life didn't need to revolve around alcohol. It's the story of a mom who quit drinking before things got worse. It's the story of a woman realizing she didn't have to identify as an "alcoholic" to walk away from drinking for good. Did Hadley have a problem? She simply no longer wanted to feel ashamed of herself after drinking. She wanted to wake up each day to a life that was exactly how she had left it the night before. She wanted to feel good. And now, she hopes to help other women realize they can do the same.
