And it’s a good thing. Kevin Smith – yes that Kevin Smith – and his pals really are coming to AMC and to your TV, just like we told you in June when it was first announced in development, and in September when it got a green light from AMC.

“But wait,” you say, “wasn’t it called… something else?” Yes, yes it was. It used to be called “Secret Stash,” named after Smith’s comic store Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, and although no explanation has come from AMC about the change, this new name certainly reflects the premise better that the working title did.

Anyway, they have cleverly scheduled it to follow The Walking Dead when it returns on February 12. Sorry, Nerdist fans, no word yet on whether The Talking Dead is returning. Here are the two Comic Book Men TV spots:

And here’s the description from back in September:

The Secret Stash is a one hour series that captures the world of the local comic book store. Way before comic book culture went mainstream, the comic store has not only been a place for people to buy, sell, or trade for cool stuff; but also to hang out and be part of a community that just loves comics. Secret Stash will capture both of these aspects of comic store life. It will document the daily banter of The Secret Stash and it’s employees and devoted customers; and it will capture the fun and emotion of buying and selling collectibles and comic memorabilia that happens in comic book stores all across the country and in mega-venues like Comic-Con.

We’ll be watching.

Comic Book Men premieres Sunday, February 12 at 10/9c on AMC.
