Scott L I had the privilege of doing audio for this documentary. There were many times during the filming process that you could feel you were part of something special. Any time a story is centered on family and the need for love I am all in. This documentary is the extraordinary reality of a need for a father and how love will always prevail. This was a true adventure to work on and it even greater adventure to watch!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Andrew K This was best documentary I've ever seen, was very intriguing and cool to see the secret the father was keeping from the family for a lifetime. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Sandra de Castro B Adam Schomer's compelling new series Selling Superman takes us on a deep dive into the discovery of a family secret, the consequences for the entire family, and the precarious healing journey that follows. The series masterfully intertwines layers of complexity, blending the surface intrigue of obsessive comic book collecting with the deeper, universal challenge of the spiritual journeys we all face. Schomer’s storytelling resonates as both intensely personal and profoundly relatable, capturing the human struggle for understanding and redemption with remarkable depth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Bryce H Selling Superman is a profoundly moving and visually captivating documentary that transcends its comic book premise to explore the complexity of family, legacy, and the human condition. Director Adam Schomer masterfully balances Darren Watts’ journey with the awe-inspiring discovery of his late father’s legendary collection, including the iconic Superman #1. The film is both a celebration of pop culture history and a deeply personal tale of reconciling with the past while forging a path forward. It’s an absolute must-watch for collectors, comic enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to stories of resilience and redemption. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Logan S What a great story of family and redemption. It will have you questioning the value of everything around you. Must watch Doc! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Brent S This guy inherited perhaps the biggest comic book and memorabilia collection in the world from his crazy dad who destroyed the family dynamic while maniacally hoarding these things. It's a crazy but heartwarming examination into issues that face many families in one way or another, and the documentary doesn't take itself too seriously - while still giving due respect to these important issues. It's fun, humorous, touching, unique, surprising, and an interesting dive into the crazy world of superhero fans and comic collectors. Watch this and you'll be in. Do it.
