Whether you love them for the lessons they taught, the stories they told, or simply the memories you made, you can explore that childhood nostalgia at Lebanon\u2019s newest and only pop culture store, The Collectors. There, comic books, action figures, decor, and more await a loving home, watched over by co-owners Brandon Mathis and Wade Ricketts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Collectors may have opened in November 2022, but it really began years earlier when a young Mathis first began to love comics. As a child with separated parents, Mathis said he found both lessons and inspiration in the superheroes portrayed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBatman says, \u2018Always be prepared.\u2019 So, guess what? Now I\u2019m always prepared,\u201d Mathis said. \u201cI\u2019ve got a plan A, plan B, [and] plan C \u2014 and then Superman says, \u2018And never give up.\u2019 So, I\u2019ll never give up. I\u2019m going to keep on trying, keep on doing better.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he got older, Mathis\u2019 love of superheroes led him to cosplay and attend birthday parties dressed as \u201cSpiderman.\u201d He was one of the few characters in the area who would talk and used the opportunity to share those inspirational messages with the children he met. Then, he got a new opportunity \u2014 the chance to hang out with a distressed child after his father had kidnapped him. They played together, with \u201cSpiderman\u201d doing his best to take the child\u2019s mind off of the things happening in his life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/2-4-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/2-4-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/2-4-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/2-4-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe jumped on the trampoline, and we played with his toys in his room,\u201d Mathis said. \u201cIt was an awesome little thing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, Mathis said he started advertising for worried parents to \u201cjust give Spiderman a call.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI got to the point where I was getting to just walk around stores with kids and just go on about their daily stuff,\u201d Mathis said. \u201cThat was like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hope was that the kids he interacted with would be influenced for the better or, at the very least, distracted from the negative things in their lives. The Collectors could have a similar influence, introducing people to those positive messages and role models. Mathis was preparing for that opportunity, even if he didn\u2019t\u00a0know it, as he and his future co-owner were building their own collection of comic books, figures, and other collectibles. In fact, much of The Collectors\u2019 original stock was from Mathis\u2019 and Ricketts\u2019 personal supply, which they gathered over many years as they worked at Nissan together.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI made a lot of money, so I had plenty of money to spend,\u201d Mathis said. \u201cI amassed a huge inventory of stuff, and with no intention to sell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/3-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/3-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/3-1-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2024\/05\/3-1-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a change of houses that made him realize just how many collectibles he had, and he brought up the idea of starting a pop culture store to Ricketts. It took several years, but when the time was right, Mathis began researching how to open a business. His research led him to Lebanon, a town that had no other pop culture or collectible stores, so The Collectors joined the Wilson County community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe ball just kept rolling, and the information kept coming in,\u201d Mathis said. \u201cI got help from other store owners \u2014 other business owners \u2014 and [it\u2019s] been going great ever since.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mathis said his wife, Samantha, has also been a great help, as she is the reason he is able to run The Collectors at all. As a new business, The Collectors is only paying its own bills, so her work supports the family. That won\u2019t be true for much longer, as the store is still growing. Mathis said they are hoping to add a wider variety of comic book publishers, more valuable collectibles, and maybe even a tabletop card game area for the community. In the meantime, The Collectors still has something for everyone, whether they are fans of pop culture or have never gotten involved in the genre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat reminds you of something that [you] did when you were a kid? What did you play with? What did you watch?\u201d Mathis asked. \u201cI guarantee you, there\u2019s some kind of superhero or cartoon or anime for whatever you do.\u201d <strong>GN&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHILE THE superheroes of our childhood may not be real, their effect cannot be denied.
