So, I live in a small town, of about 10,000-11,000 people. We have a small book store that does well. But no comic store nearby, the closest comic store being about 34 miles away and a good store with a lot of selection is about 47 or so miles away. I am pretty new to the whole comics thing myself. I've only been reading since, around early 2013. (Marvel's movies being the thing that made me check out comics.)
I have a limited knowledge of comics as a whole myself. Right now, I've read several, now old since the new 52 reboot, batman graphics novels. (batman:knightfall, long Halloween, year one,etc) and Ms.Marvel's whole 2006-2010 run. Current comics that I'm reading are star wars:dawn of the jedi, Justice League, the manga Attack on Titan, and probably gonna start picking up aquaman and/or Guardians of the galaxy.
So, I guess the questions I'm trying to ask are: what does it take to open a comic shop?
How much comic knowledge is necessary so I wouldn't be mocked by customers for my lack of knowledge of comic's as a whole?(Or am I over-thinking that question and are most small comic shop owners not gurus?)
Is this just a dumb idea that just isn't feasible in today's economy, or my small town?
I'm about to get out of high school and I am just trying to find some sort of idea as to what I want to do as a job or career in life.
I just thought i'd entertain my brain's, probably dumb, idea and ask people who might have some sort of clue as to what it would take.
(EDIT: Extra background in post 4.)
Edit: I just realized I could have posted my newest post onto this first one. Oh well. My final decision to my idea is on page 2.
