In this episode of Comic Book Men, a hot zombie comic prompts the guys to reconsider their apocalyptic preparations. An eccentric collector comes seeking Walt’s help.

The episode continues the normal formula for the series which sees the guys joke around, see what folks want to sell, and then head on some adventure that normal folks don’t really do.

This episode has some interesting moments at least, but as usual, the moments aren’t capitalized upon to make the show really interesting. One segment has a guy selling an item that’s really sought after right now, and very valuable. There’s some discussion over it, but it’s not very in-depth or dealing in facts. The second segment of someone selling something is a bit more interesting in that it involves a knock-off unlicensed item, which is interesting they’d show it. The final segment has a guy wanting a sketch from Walt, which would have been a lot more interesting discussing the folks who have already contributed and discussing the idea of sketch books and conventions. As usual, the show doesn’t take advantage of what’s in front of them.

The segment involving all of the guys is a bit eye-rolling in that it has little to do with the comic shop, only having it spun out of their discussions. It feels like filler sadly.

I will say the episode had one comment which got me to laugh, but other than that, the episode sticks to the formula, giving us little new.
