Actor, filmmaker and podcaster Kevin Smith explains how AMC's new series is like Antiques Roadshow for nerds then imagines the cast of Comic Book Men with superpowers.Q: Did you ever imagine that being a comic book geek would become something cool enough to warrant its own reality series?
A: S--- no, dude... The s--- that used to be considered geeky or kind of useless or nerdy is kind of what powers the entertainment industry. Back in the day, they'd call you a nerd if you like Star Trek, but a guy who likes football and knows every obsessive detail about every person on every team is calling some guy who likes Mr. Spock a nerd. They are nerds too. It's taken us all this time to figure out everyone is a nerd for something. But we kind of concentrate on the classic stuff: movies, comics, toys -- you know, geek culture.
