Did anyone really expect “The Best of Both Worlds” part 2 to begin with the Borg cube going kablooey with the captain still on board, and the rest of the episode being the aftermath?
You know, I once suggested something like this be how to introduce Steve, several reboot ago. Though in my version, I suggested he be more surly and withdrawn than full of nerd rage like the comic book guy here; the idea being he looks like a stereotypical angry 90’s kid, and then reveal he’s a total geek.
At this point, I don’t care what Steve does, so long as he puts him in his place. What this jackanape is doing, isn’t a questionnaire. Its an excuse to yell at, and debase someone based on their personal opinion. Not to mention call them stupid for no reason other than to stroke their own ego. Something far, FAR too common these days. I’ll accept Steve either verbally putting him in his place, or breaking his glasses. … I need to keep off the internet…
Sometimes the slow burn or the long wait isn’t worth it. But the pop quiz is justifiable. I’ve never seen them as “you aren’t cool enough for comic books.” If they want to buy comics, I get that the Cashier should want to make sure they can tell Batman from Black Panther. Or Spawn, Spawn was everywhere in the 90s. No refunds, no returns. He’s just got too much yelling in his customer service.
Sometimes, real-life is probably a better alternative for these people than the internet. At the very least, the likelihood of actually meeting them face-to-face would be slim.
I bet this guy called the “Kill Jason Todd” line. What a douche.

Ah shit! They’re cowering in fear!
Yoiks! Comic Book Guy on methamphetamine here!
@Freezer I’d like to think that Tensaided would ruin this man emotionally by completely outgeeking him.

I don’t know what it would do to the space-time continuum, but I would love to see Tensaided have a run at this rageaholic.

Well, that escalated. Steve, kindly give this asswipe some karma next strip.

He’s a dick, Steve.
@Jayster49 at least in real life they’d have to face consequences for ther shitty behavior that the anonymity of the Internet spares them from
