Ep 12. Baby Jay

In season 5, episode 12 of Comic Book Men titled "Baby Jay," the crew at Kevin Smith's comic book store, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, continues their never-ending search for the most unique and rare items the pop culture world has to offer.

The episode kicks off with a bang as fan-favorite Brian Johnson brings in a genuine "Baby Herman" prop from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Keeping up with the excitement, the guys also show off a special comic book issue that was released exclusively at that year's Comic-Con, featuring a rare appearance by the original cast of Star Trek.

As the episode progresses, more interesting items make their way into the shop, including a set of vintage Star Wars action figures and a rare copy of the controversial comic book "The Dark Knight Returns."

Much of the episode's focus is on fan-favorite member, Walt Flanagan. He makes a fantastic find by securing an ultra-rare Golden Age comic book that belonged to a former classmate.

The show isn't all about buying and selling memorabilia, though. The episode also includes plenty of comedic moments, with the guys trading jokes and one-liners about their geeky passions and latest discoveries.

One standout moment is when the group shows off a "Sword of Omens" replica from the 80s cartoon series ThunderCats. Each member takes turns testing out the sword causing much hilarity and perhaps, some reliving memories.

As always, the show also features segments about the history and significance of some of the items that make their way into the store. With each artifact comes a story, and the team takes a deep dive into the pop culture world, sharing their knowledge and respect for the media that they so passionately collect.

The episode concludes with a fun and lighthearted skit featuring the guys in pirate costumes, playing out a treasure hunt fantasy. The segment adds a quirky and playful touch to the show's overall tone, reminding fans that at its core, Comic Book Men is all about celebrating the nerdier side of life.

Overall, season 5, episode 12 of Comic Book Men titled "Baby Jay" is a must-watch for any pop culture fan looking for some fun, lighthearted entertainment and an inside look into the fascinating world of comic book collecting.
