Comic Book Men Preview: Jason Mewes Visits

Last week, Comic Book Men premiered on AMC TV, and the show has been generating quite a bit of discussion online. While I found many segments of the show to be hilarious, there were some other comic book sites that didn’t like the show at all. And apparently, at least one of the cast members didn’t like it that some other comic book sites didn’t like the show.

While last week focused on introducing the cast as they competed in a flea market sales competition, tonight’s episode seems to focus around a celebrity visit. In an AMC preview of the episode, Jason Mewes pays a surprise visit to the Secret Stash comic book store. Of course, Jason Mewes is best known for playing Jay, the vocal half of the Jay and Silent Bob duo. Mewes has appeared in a number of Kevin Smith movies including Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

The first episode of Comic Book Men drew solid ratings, attracting 2 million viewers, which is very high for a cable television show. Of course, Comic Book Men did benefit from the record-breaking lead-in provided by The Walking Dead, which drew 8.1 million viewers. The real test will be if Comic Book Men is able to hold onto its audience from last week. The episode of Comic Book Men featuring a visit from Jason Mewes airs on Sunday, February 19 starting at 10 PM ET on AMC.

I wonder if the extremely prominent display of Robert Kirkman and View Askew stuff on the counter and the shelf behind Mewes is something they decided on with AMC.

I hate this show and Kevin Smith like Kevin Smith hates the treadmill.

This show is great. As a hard core nerd (IT rather than comic type), I appreciate everything they are trying to do. From the store to the clique (the actors here) that every store has to the customers, it is as authentic as you can make it. Remember this is a comic store. Most comic store nerds are misanthropic elitists with Aspergers. The fact that they can even make a show from such inherently one dimensional and shallow people is genius on the part of Kevin Smith. Every comic book site has the comic nerds trashing it.. Comic nerds are ALWAYS negative unlike many other nerd forms. Thankfully the rest of nerdom sees the beauty of the show.

I dont think so, The shop itself sells a ton of view askew stuff, but is also a fully functional comic shop. Being a fully functional comic shop it means that they will constantly have whatever is hot on the shelf, prominent. Well Walking Dead is hot, really really hot right now so thats probably how it was before they started even shooting.
