Even if you didn't geek/nerd out over anything in your life, this is a fun subculture to visit. The movie was really well put together along the sort of aspirational lines you might see in documentaries like Pulling John or Pumping Iron (armwrestling/bodybuilding respectively), in which people struggle along hoping to make it and you get to float along invisibly like a ghost for the journey. Errr ... not quite so dead. You know what I mean. A costume maker trying to shine, a seller trying to sell, a couple of artists trying to gain attention for the heart of their being, their love of drawing and art ... it's pretty cool and lively.

San Diego's ComiCon convention has come a long way, and the crazy propulsion into blockbuster movies one after the other of Marvel Comics heroes like Spiderman, Thor, Iron Man, The Avengers, Black Panther, and D.C.'s Wonder Woman and Batman has made the convention bigger than ever. So big that comics themselves are starting to be overshadowed by movies and TV expressions of the superhero stories that originally appeared in comics and had no place else to go. As being a nerd had become accepted in the culture rather than reviled (thank you Bill Gates!) and the world turns toward the future of tech and technocrats, the things they love, like the wild imagination of myth and legend expressed through comics -- has gone mainstream. And now everybody wants to get in on the act.

You'll see that here, and it's pretty great. Why not love that people find something they love? Here, it's comics and the imagination that has made them this day's common cultural currency. You'll have a fun time watching this well-constructed movie, which shows people loving and struggling to be a part of the comic world and all that it hath wrought -- and sometimes, succeeding. You'll cheer the ones who make it and cross your fingers for the ones who got close. It feels good all around.
