Just read that AMC will not renew Comic Book Men. 96 episodes and 7 seasons. Still a pretty good run. Just sucks to hear as I was a huge fan of this show!

I heard about this on TESD. Kevin smith is running around trying to find someone to pick the show up. There are plenty of outlets for it.

Bummed about it getting cancelled. My Brother actually got me into the show and the show got me into comics. Hope it can get picked up.

As long as somebody picks it up I'll be happy but Netflix does sound like a nice home.

It was on for 7 seasons. Definitely had a fanbase. Would love to see Netflix pick it up!

Sucks to hear but I wouldn’t be surprised if the ratings were in the toilet the last few years. If I didn’t have it set to DVR, I would never know when it was on. AMC kinda just threw it on whenever they had a half hour to kill.
I liked the show a lot and the guys were really down to earth. I drove to the shop once and Mike actually rang me up at the register. I’ve only met Brian once and got a picture with him. Never met Walt.
I seem to find myself running into Ming a lot at various cons. Super nice guy and loves to chat. I once went on his line to get a selfie with him. We ended up chatting for like a half hour about different stuff and he never even charged me.
Another time we were waiting on line for a Stan Lee photo op. My brother was cosplaying as Dr. Strange. I turn around to tell my brother something and see he’s just talking to Ming about his costume. Ming was walking by and just stopped to chat.
I always joke that it seems like every time I’m at a con, at least once a day I’ll look behind me and see either Ming or Rob Bruce.

Tjis will hurt their wallets and the Stash. It will, but I'm sure the Ants will step up with the Patreon. I'm planning to join the $5 tier myself (I would join a higher tier, but yanno, poor). The Stash is probably the biggest concern, since Kev was only planning to keep it open a few more years prior to them getting the show. Hopefully the exposure helps give it a boost for a while longer. I'm still pissed I never managed to get there while I was still in NJ.

Shame. They all seems like great guys. And I love Kevin Smith. I didn't get to watch as often as I'd like, but I still enjoyed it every time I did watch.

Ive wanted to go there the last couple years but something always comes up. They seem like great guys and you can tell they really love what they do .You see people all the time on You Tube going to conventions and they run into Ming and he stops and talks to them just like they were friends forever I dont think ive ever heard anybody say a bad thing about him and that goes for Kevin too every time you hear anybody say they met him he's always a great guy.

To be fair, calling out Ming for being ignorant of everything comic book related is warranted. Honestly, with how successful the TESD Patreon is doing, the boys might not have enough time to do the show... Plus, they actually might be making MORE than they would working on the show. Any Ants here sign up for the Patreon deal yet?

Btw what ever happened with Ming’s comic shop? I remember him announcing that he was opening his own shop in Houston, then all that stuff happened shortly after and I hadn’t heard any more about it since.
