Comic books, with their action-packed plots, striking visuals, and universal stories of good vs. evil, always have provided fertile ground for potential film blockbusters. This film follows Swan as he attends a comic book convention (filmed on location at Comic-con in San Diego, California) to film a DVD documentary featurette about a comic book, CODENAME: COURAGE, slated to become a blockbuster. What the studio doesn't know is that Swan is an obsessive fan of the comic and has his own agenda for the documentary. [More]

  • Comic Book: The Movie
  • Mark Hamill (STAR WARS) stars with sexy Donna D' Errico (AUSTIN POWERS GOLDMEMBER, TV's BAYWATCH) and a host of real-life celebrities -- including Hugh Hefner, Stan Lee, and Kevin Smith -- in this wildly funny journey into the world of comic book fandom! Documentary filmmaker Donald Swan (Hamill) heads to the world's largest comic book convention, where he encounters a culture of craziness that he's totally unprepared for! Also featuring the voice talent from hit shows SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, FUTURAMA, JOHNNY BRAVO, and more!

    Comic Book reminded me of a DVD bonus item that might be included with a disc's main attraction to help sell the feature.

    Say what you will about the various types of fanboys out there, but one thing seems fairly certain: the geeks do know how to laugh at themselves.
