Kevin Smiths Comic Book Men on AMC

[Paroxysm]

Did anybody here know that Walt was a comic book artist? I think his recent work was Batman The Widening Gyre written by who else than Kevin Smith! He's no Jim Lee and his art is decent but I think the computer coloring helps the drawings look vibrant.

He is? No wonder he hates Ming so much.

 

[DrDoom]

He also drew two comics written by Brian Johnson, War of the Undead and Carney

What the hell is wrong with this show?
They said that The Killing Joke was published in 1975.
It came out in 1988.

So his niece has Down Syndrome and he gets a tattoo of her as a zombie on his arm? Wow

 

[SuperSoldier985]

I'm really liking the show so far..

 

[Shifty]

I enjoyed the run, my girlfriend who has no interest in comics likes it (mainly for making fun of Ming). Hopefully news on a second season comes out soon. They can definitely make changes to make it better.

Show is fine the way it is...in my eyes.

His niece has down syndrome?

That one guy bailed on getting a tattoo. Sissy man. I bet he was playing video games, or buying video games.

Weird, right? It's almost as if he sees his niece as more than just a girl with Downs.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I laughed my ass off when Bryan reveled the tattoo he was getting; everyone's reaction, priceless!

 

[Shifty]

It would be great if they went to ComicCon and that was the season premiere of the second season, them going out to SD and just showing off what it's like to be there as a fan and then as someone on a panel.

How does that make him hate on Ming?

 

[Wolfwood]

So his niece has Down Syndrome and he gets a tattoo of her as a zombie on his arm? Wow

But she liked zombies, so it's cute. I thought it was really sweet of him to do that. Which is surprising given how much of a *****ey smart ass he can be lol.

So is the season over now? I thought it was pretty good overall, really enjoyed the cast. I might have to start listening to their podcast now.

Yeah, season is over now.
Podcast is fantastic. I started listening to it about two months ago.

And where do they get the impression he hates Ming? They're friends, they **** with each other.

 

[DrDoom]

If you listen to T.E.S.D. you would know how crazy he is about Sagie, practically thinks of her as his own daughter since he Dad isnt in the picture. And theyve talked multiple times about her love for zombies and Walking Dead, clearly she also liked the tattoo as shown on the show and talked about on the podcast.

Sorry if that seemed smart-assy lol. Just wanted to get the info out there

AMC RENEWS “COMIC BOOK MEN”

AND “TALKING DEAD”



AMC Orders 16 Episodes for Second Seasons of Unscripted Series



New York, NY – May 9, 2012 – AMC announced today a second season pick-up for its unscripted series “Comic Book Men” and “Talking Dead.” “Comic Book Men” is executive produced by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy), Charlie Corwin’s Original Media (LA Ink, Storm Chasers, Swamp People) and Elyse Seiden (Red State). The series continues to delve into fanboy culture by following the antics in and around Smith’s New Jersey comic shop, Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. “Talking Dead,” the network’s first live after show that serves as a platform for discussion for AMC’s series “The Walking Dead,” is executive produced by Michael Davies and co-executive produced by Jen Kelly from Embassy Row. Chris Hardwick (Nerdist; G4) is the host. Season two of both series consists of 16 half-hour episodes.



"Pinch my fat ass, 'cause I must be dreaming! A thousand thank you's wouldn't cover the gratitude I'm feeling right now. And as you might imagine, everyone at SModcast Pictures is in love with everyone at AMC today! Rest assured, Walt, Bry, Mike, Ming and I are suited up and ready to hit the ice for our second season with Team AMC,” said Smith.



“AMC set out to build shows around authentic characters and original worlds, and ‘Comic Book Men’ really delivers on both of these. Charlie Corwin and Kevin have created a truly unique show that is funny and informative - whether you like comic books or not; and the guys from The Stash are the kind of real life experts we always wanted to build the show around,” said Joel Stillerman, AMC’s EVP of original programming, production and digital content. “'Talking Dead’ is just great synergy and it gives our audience a destination to continue the conversation about ‘The Walking Dead.’ We are thrilled that Chris is back to lead the discussion. He is genuinely knowledgeable about the genre, and truly entertaining.”



“‘Talking Dead’ has been an amazing experience and I cannot pile enough hugs and thanks onto AMC for renewing it. I CAN'T WAIT for Season 3 of Walking Dead, so that we can finally talk about Rick meeting

“Comic Book Men” allows viewers to see the Secret Stash’s staff and customers geek out over mind-blowing pop culture artifacts and the legends behind them. Leading the crew behind the Secret Stash counter are moody manager Walt, uber-nerd Mike, career slacker Bryan and Ming, the shop’s go-to whipping boy. As the team buys, sells and discovers the treasures of the comic collecting world, they share all the juicy details with Kevin through their outrageous podcast, which is woven throughout the series. AMC’s season one of “Comic Book Men” reigns as the most engaging reality program on television.*

[bunk]

Good news. I'm glad both of those are coming back.

 

[Shifty]

Same here and a shortened run time I think will only benefit the show. The 16 episode order matches The Walking Dead's.

They'll likely air the shows like this for most of the fall.

9/8c The Walking Dead
10/9c Hell on Wheels
11/10c The Walking Dead
12/11c Talking Dead
1230/1130c Comic Book Men

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Awesome news!

 

[Hush]

This was a huge highlight for me after my hockey games on Sunday along with Talking Dead. Just awesome. I'm glad it got renewed.

 

[Paroxysm]

Yes! Great news!

 

[uniqueweasel]

I really enjoyed the shows, great to see they got a second season, love the tell 'em steve dave podcast so this is a must for me. Hopefully Bry will be on top form for the next season, after his recent stint in rehab.

 

[DeGenerate10]

How many episodes will this season have?

 

[Hush]

16 Episodes.

 

[venom892]

Real big jump in episode order. I think it helps the show is really cheap to produce. Also if you have Netflix, there is a new Kevin Smith Q&A on there. Great stuff.
