    Issue 15 a couple pages in. The shirt just says Wesley Crushers and he was a character on Star Trek TNG so not necessarily a BBT reference.

    But they had that same shirt in a episode of the BBT. It was Sheldon trying to say they were going to crush Wesley, but it sounded like they were honoring him instead. Hilarity ensued.

    I love that show so freaking much.

    Ultimate Wolverine is coming back, sort of!

    Yeah its no big deal just found it strange to notice. Wil Wheaton is hilarious in the guild and Big Bang just found it funny.

    I loved that. Immediately recognized the shirt.
    It's a great reference to the show.
    Though I must confess I don't quite get what the problem here is.
    Are you wondering why he had it on? The artist probably is a fan of the show and wanted to express that through the comic.

    Yeah, it's probably just that Pichelli is a big fan of the show. She's known for adding details like this - clothes, posters, etc - to her art.
    I like Ultimate Comics. - Read them with us!

    I also buy: Captain America, Avengers, FF, New Avengers, X-Factor, among others
