Season 1 Review: Comic Book Men is a pleasant surprise and an overall splash of fragrant cologne on the smell test-flunking reality genre. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Feb 10, 2012

Season 1 Review: Given the characters who also turn up looking to sell comics and memorabilia, Smith's original idea--"Pawn Stars" with comics--might have been enough to win him a slot just about anywhere on cable. The podcast just makes it funnier. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Way too obscure for the average viewer, Comic Book Men is strictly for Smith groupies, and there are probably enough of those to keep this six-parter afloat over its short run. Read full review

Feb 10, 2012

Season 1 Review: The illustrated title sequence of Comic Book Men depicts these guys as musclemen in tights, but the scenes that follow are strictly mild-mannered. Read full review

Feb 10, 2012

Season 1 Review: Oddly enough, many viewers may not need to know DC Comics' Issue No. 1 chapter, verse and thought bubble to find Comic Book Men mildly amusing. Read full review

Feb 10, 2012

Season 1 Review: Comic Book Men's idle chit-chat about comics comes off as remedial and boring. Read full review

Mike Hale

Feb 10, 2012

Season 1 Review: It's diverting, a little sad, a little boring, full of geeky macho posturing and ultimately pointless, much like a Wednesday afternoon in a comic-book shop. Read full review
