“Obsession. Betrayal. Revenge. And other funny business.”

ComedyCrime

When word hits the street that a nearby elderly gentleman has a cache of old, rare, and very valuable mint condition comic books, rival comic book shop owners Raymond McGillicuddy (Donal Logue) and Norman Link (Michael Rapaport) both set out to be the first to buy them. But when the old man declines to sell, the former friends turn into enemies, and a friendly rivalry becomes tainted with greed and turns to murder.

VIBE

A charmingly low-stakes caper about two comic book shop owners whose friendly rivalry escalates over rare collectibles. It's a quirky, nostalgic dive into fandom, friendship, and the absurd lengths people go to for their obsessions.
