National Geographic Announces ‘Comic Store Heroes’

So, ever want to see a reality show about what happens behind the scenes at a comic store? Now you have your chance! Wait…what do you mean that has already been done?! I guess National Geographic has never seen Kevin Smith’s ‘Comic Book Men’. Now we will have another show focusing on New York’s ‘Midtown Comics’.

The press release describes the one-hour show as “a documentary-style show that will follow the lives of staffers Gerry, Thor, and Alex as they deal with all sorts of geek and enthusiast customers while simultaneously planning their booth at the New York Comic Con. Can these pop culture mavens answer the pointed and detailed questions of their comic-centric clientele and still manage to produce a major presence at their largest hometown comics-oriented event?”

The big question is: do we really need this? And what makes it different than this:

Eh. I’ll stick with AMC on this one.
