Why Comic Book Men is bad for men who retail comics

Here’s exactly why Comic Book Men is so bad for the comics industry…

Nick: Since [Comic Book Men] has received almost universally poor to mediocre reviews, it’s easier to go after it for ideological reasons….

Comic Book Men, a poorly made show about comic retailers is scheduled right after The Walking Dead a comic book adaptation that is the most successful cable show of all time…

…It creates an extremely jarring contrast… [The Walking Dead] represents the possibilities of comics that mainstream audiences had likely never thought of before… [this leads into the pandering Comic Book Men, a show] that confirms every suspicion that same mainstream audience has about the medium.
