Yes, and I don't mean to suggest it's the greatest show ever, but for what it is, the type of show it is, it's a blast. <br /><br />It's a bit like the comic book documentary you always wanted to make yourself.<br /><br />I'm going to have to check out that podcast.<br /><br />It's certainly an innfinitely likable group, although as J.D. mentioned, they do have their curmudgeony and cringe-worthy not-nice moments, but all in all, I like that their real people with a love for all the things that I love and that they celebrate that unabashedly. Fantastic.<br /><br />Oh and Johnny, great with coffee!

Although Comic Bo...Whole-heartedly agree with you. Although Comic Book Men isn't the greatest show I've ever seen, it still hits home for me so much that it is the one show I look forward to the most all week.<br /><br />My glee even carries over to Monday mornings, as it has become my ritual to download the companion podcast (The Secret Stash) from iTunes and listen to it while I imbibe my first cup of coffee.<br /><br />By the way, Mike Zapcic (who doesn't get nearly enough screen time, in my opinion) and Ming Chen host their own, separate, weekly podcast entitled "I Sell Comics", which helps me get my fill throughout the week.<br /><br />--J/MetroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-32772685603977777532012-03-05T11:24:23.842-05:002012-03-05T11:24:23.842-05:00I agree.

I keep it in perspective thinking, while it seems a little harsh, they do all like each other and it's part of their comraderie and schtick.<br /><br />Wasn't that Silver Surfer artwork something? Wow. Just beautiful.<br /><br />The hockey stuff was freakin hilarious.<br /><br />Anyway, glad you're wathcing it too. It's so good!SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-39335477693592573202012-03-05T10:50:19.160-05:002012-03-05T10:50:19.160-05:00I watch and enjoy COMIC BOOK MEN as well but my co...I watch and enjoy COMIC BOOK MEN as well but my complaint with the show is that sometimes the personalities of the clerks in the show can be incredibly grating, esp. Bryan who's sole purpose seems to be giving Ming a hard time. In the last ep. all of them were particularly hard on the guy. Sure, he does make some boneheaded decisions at time but some of the humor borders on downright mean-spirited at times. Fortunately, there is plenty of screen time given to all the great memorabilia that comes through the store's doors! That SILVER SURFER artwork was incredible! I particularly enjoyed the ep. where Jason Mewes returned to the store and they played hockey. I also like it whenever Rob Bruce makes an appearance. Man, that guy really knows his stuff!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
