Does it really even need to be mentioned? Kevin Smith, the director of Dogma, Clerks, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, is perhaps one of the most famous comic book lovers of our time. Besides being a consistent ComicCon speaker (including this hilarious feud he had with one of the convention’s boldest nerds), he actually own a comic book store. He used to own two (one in New Jersey, and one in LA), but one of them was shut down due to lack of business during the recession. It seems that even Kevin Smith can’t play Superman against the foils of the evil and perilous ills of the U.S. economy.
