TWENTY PERCENT COOLER

Chris Sims, senior writer for ComicsAlliance, co-writer of Awesome Hospital, writer of Dracula the Unconquered, and the Teen Tycoon of Rock.

I don’t know what I did to get on Laura Hudson’s bad side (this is a lie, I know exactly what I did), but she assigned me to review Kevin Smith’s Comic Book Men, a new reality show set at Smith’s New Jersey comic book shop.
Much like the review, the show alternates between boring and hateful, especially where this Ed Greenwood looking motherfucker is concerned.  It’s the closest thing television has ever had to a comments section, and that’s not a good thing. View high resolution
