A show for Fanboys by Fanboys. Set in uber-geek Kevin Smith's iconic comic shop Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, the show explores every nook and cranny of Fanboy culture from A to Z. Endless circular debates about the technical accuracy of the USS Enterprise's warp-core schematics? Snarky comic aficionados with an encyclopedic knowledge of every Marvel back issue? You bet.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Blue_Jay_Way Comic Book Men or Douchebag Dudes? I tried to watch this show and it was just a butt-kissing contest on every episode. Kevin Smith is the big Hollywood star and the rest of the cast is made up of his comic book store employees. The fawning never ends. Every time Smith says something, his lackeys gasp in awe of his amazing wisdom. The only thing good about this show was the interesting collectibles that were featured, and the occasional guest stars that appeared on the show.
Atomic_Peace Like the summary said! Comic Book Men is set in Kevin Smith's trade and barter store based in New Jersey, known as Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, often shortened to just The Stash. Smith and friends operate the store, solely founded over film and comic book propaganda.I rather enjoy the show, I am an avid movie and TV fan, and I plan to start reading comic books, sometime later this year. I enjoy trade and barter, it is a subject I have fond interest in it, as you never know what you will see. I don't get the comic book references, but I try, and that's what counts.Let me put it this way, did you grow up on TV, movies, and comic books? Merry Christmas!The fact that they do this unscripted is surprising, because trust me when I say that this show is hilarious!I give the show 8 film rolls.
Joe Spencer Let me start out by saying that I know the buyers/sellers are set up in advance, and that's part of the show. That being said, the interaction between employees and customers is pretty spot on for a Jersey comic book store.As a teenager growing up in central NJ, I worked at a comic book store named "That Hobby Place" (South Amboy, NJ). It was a teen boy's dream job. During the summer months, I spent all day reading comic books, playing games, and discussing my favorite movies (i.e. Star Wars) with almost every customer who walked through the door! On weekends, the boss Gary would take me and a buddy to comic/sci-fi conventions so we could make some extra cash for the store and get autographs (to sell at the store, of course!) from our favorite stars.When I watch Comic Book Men, it gives me warm fuzzies as I see these guys doing EXACTLY the kind of stuff we did...pranking each other, the banter, and almost getting into arguments over what super hero would kick who's butt.This show is good fun for anyone who grew up reading comic books, watching Star Wars, or otherwise entertained by the fan side of pop culture. Kudos to Kevin Smith and team for creating a show that brings me back to my teenage years, and allowing me to look at the perplexed look on my wife's face and say, "See??? Told you I'm not the only person who does/thinks that!!!!"
thesavants08 This show is hilarious! I am a female and do not read comic books, and I really enjoy this show. I hate when people say oh you have to read comic books or love Smith to enjoy this show. That is far from the truth. What I do know of comic book stories(which is not much), I get from movies made from them. From the show: I enjoy seeing how much the toys,books, etc. brought in off the streets to the store are worth. I also like when they explain some of the comic books in the show. They sound ten times better than the movies made from them half the time. I think the interaction between the guys on the show is what makes it for me. They are constantly asking each other about crazy hypothetical situations, and in general always saying something hilarious. They have also gotten into some funny situations on the show. All in all I enjoy it, and it conveniently comes on after the Walking Dead.
