Dear Bones, You just killed the comic book fan in me...

So, episode 12 deals with comic/gaming nuts.

In the room of a comic book fan, Seeley Booth, who claims to be at least something of a fan of comics, picks up an old issue of Batman, waves it around, and says (roughly) "Hey, this one is worth $130"

Yes, bagged and boarded or not, a supposed comicbook fan was waving around a rare comic, only holding onto a corner.

*is dead*

Also?  All the comics we can actually see are of the "this box for $5" variety.

That said, the shop itself appears to be like what I remember, though they probably just rented a shop for a day.

*shudders* I remember that episode. I feared it from the get go, because shows generally use the comic geek stereotype, and I'm frankly sick of it...

*waves around Uncanny 101, which is worth about the same, just to make you twitch* ;)

*obediently twitches*

Actually, the comic bit aside, the episode wasn't as bad as some are. At least they realized that falling into one geek category doesn't automatically qualify you for every one.
