Do you like comicsandcelebrities who also happen to like comics? You’re in luck! We at Collider have a variety of original shows ranging from panel-styleMovie Talkto the more utility-basedBest Movies on Netflix, and now we’re happy to introduce a brand new show for our channel: Comic Book Shopping. Each episode will find a different celebrity or personality going to a local comics shop with hostJon Schneppand sifting through and discussing their favorite comics, as well as their own upcoming projects.
In this week’s episode we’re joined bySpider-Man: Homecomingco-starJacob Batalon, who’s unforgettable as Peter Parker’s BFF Ned Leeds in the Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios film. Batalon and Schnepp hit up Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles, and as the two peruse the aisles they talk about Batalon’s experience makingHomecoming, hanging out with folks likeTom Holland,Martin Starr, andDonald Glover, and if he wants to see Ned follow his comics arc and become the Hobgoblin.
Batalon also opens up about his love ofStar Warscomics as a kid (and nerds out over someStar Warscomics in the store) while Schnepp offers some great suggestions to expand the horizons of those who may be a bit newer to the comics realm. And Batalon even teases his role inTerry Gilliam’s long-awaitedThe Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
